I remember being a kid and my friend Daniel loved NWA and I loved WWE. I kept telling him how awesome Hulk Hogan was. One Saturday, the Hulkster made a rare appearance on WWF Superstars where he was supposed to fight Cowboy Bob Orton. I didn't even know who Bob Orton was. This was the time when the stars were facing nobodys (ie: The One Man Gang vs. John Smith) in nothing but squas matches. My friend was over and I wanted him to see how awesome Hogan was because NOBODY beats the Hulkster. About two seconds into the match, Bob was beating Hogan's ass all over the ring. I was horrified!! Anyway, Hogan "Hulked out" and won the match. Your post just reminded me of that incident. |
Hah, and that counts for something... in my mind anyway.
I'm telling you, for his size, Hogan was actually a great technical wrestler, he just never got to show it off in the US.
He pulls off some neat holds and moves for his size in his Japanese Matches
