caley 2,924 Posted October 1, 2015 Concussion-causing? Dumb? Throwaway moment on Nitro for no real financial gain? Yup. Yup. Yup. But damn if that isn't an incredible way of making your unstoppable champion look more unstoppable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 4,969 Posted October 1, 2015 I wish La Parka had hit him flat on the face to really give it a pointless feel. Wasn't he one of the guys Goldberg hurt really badly, like a torn ACL or something or was that another dude.Edit: From his wiki. Must've been a minor tear or it wasn't his ACL to only be out 3 months.In June 1998, La Parka tore his ACL while receiving a spear from Bill Goldberg. The injury would keep him out of the ring until September 1998. In 1999 on an episode of Thunder, Goldberg ripped La Parka's arm out of its socket after a botched move.

I could've sworn the injury was actually some cracked or broken ribs. Also, I think Parka hit him with one of the smaller plastic folding chairs, so it's not quite as concussion-inducing as it looks. Still stupid, just not AS stupid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 3,845 Posted October 1, 2015 It's crazy....that is the best selling of Warrior's career (except of course when Papa Shangp posessed him), and Hogan completely blew the spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ryan 4,969 Posted October 1, 2015 He should have made out with it to really sell it. It's amazing when morons living in the 80's and guys with no idea what they're doing(Hogan and Warrior) are given full creative control. Their 1998 feud is what you get. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Sweetser 2,927 Posted October 1, 2015 I was going to ask how much getting that head made cost WCW, but they gave Hogan TWO motorcycles earlier in the show (one painted up with his face on it) so it's definitely the thin end of the wedge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't doubt that it probably cost them some stupid amount of money. This is the company that every time they needed a crow for a Sting appearance or promo, they would have to pay $5,000 to fly in the crow, the crow's handler and a BACK-UP CROW!

AxB 6,136 Posted October 2, 2015 See, if Dean Ambrose did more of that more often, when he occassionally rebounded and hit the Lariat it would be a cool thing that happened. Instead of a goofy move that there's no reason why you'd do it like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
