twiztor Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 A Hogan/Warrior rematch would have meant Hulk going over and I'm glad that didn't happen. In my eyes.. Warrior defeated Hulkamania and that's all there is to it. Whoever that guy was in WCW was not the Warrior. Bogus Warrior. i can get behind this idea. they clearly repackaged Renegade into a Warrior clone. again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaedmc Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yokozuna defeated Hulkamania. Ultimate Warrior just gave it a breather. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 WCW definitely referred to it as the Atomic Legdrop around 99-00, but then again everything was fucking meta from that announcers table. Five moves of doom, Hulk-Up, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I bought this book when I was younger about the first sixteen Wrestlemanias by Basil Devito. I found it the other night and flipping through it I read his comments on Sgt Slaughter's heel turn. Even from that incredibly biased viewpoint, I cannot see how an Iraqi sympathizer was ever a good idea for a gimmick. He makes it sound like it was a good idea at first until people started getting offended and then they wanted to get rid of it quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Speaking of Hogan, Meltzer says that WWE sent him through their medicals. Not only is he not going to be wrestling, he's not cleared to do anything physical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeeball Wizard Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think with Dolph they followed him on twitter, saw his brutal attempts at being funny and was like TO THE MIDCARD YOU GO. I enjoy him in ring but never saw him as a main event player. Upper midcarder who challenges for the title on occasion but never THE GUY. So he really is this generation's Curt Hennig?

Really Hogan's last hurrah in a lot of ways. Heyman of all people made Hogan look like the biggest world beater ever. More than anyone else had in years. Screaming out shit like "He's DIFFERENT Brock"! Just urging Brock to not dick around because he Hulk fucking Hogan, and he WILL find a way to beat you. Just an awesome match. Shame it was wasted on free TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect with today's roster would be the face of the company and hold the title forever. Did you not see Mr. Perfect's last WWE run? If anything, he would be EXACTLY like Dolph Ziggler: a guy who claims how great he is but time after time they'd have to force-feed how much bullshit that is to us. The Mr. Perfect vignettes were so great in showing us this dickhead telling us how awesome he was then backing it up. Now he'd be doing challenges with Cena and made to look like an idiot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
