Hogan, Flair, Dusty, every other promotion that opposed him being dead, etc. Signing ADR was Vince's "Forgot About Dre". 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hogan would have his matches before intermission on a lot of the house shows I went to. They did fucking HOGAN VS FLAIR before intermission in LA, for example. Yeah, I saw one of the like uh...four or five total Hogan vs Flair WWF matches and it was DOPE AS FUCK 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(BP) Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Were there curfews for most of the arenas or was that an MSG thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the days when WWF would run house shows in the same towns every month or so, they'd run the main event before intermission so they could announce the main event for the next show at intermission and start selling tickets right away. For example, maybe Hogan vs One Man Gang would be the main event and the match would be the last before intermission. They'd fight to a double countout or maybe Gang would be DQ'd. Then they'd announce a rematch INSIDE A 15 FOOT HIGH STEEL CAGE next month with tickets, conveniently, on sale now at the arena box office. As a poor youngster, I always marveled at the ballin'-ass motherfuckers who would go buy front row seats right then and there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromatagon Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Also, they'd do it so Hogan could get out of the building during the show and not have a bunch of fans waiting and shit (in LA the shows were so far apart that they'd not really set up the next show a lot of the time) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the image of ADR with Paige and her family for some reason is making me laugh. Is it because out of the whole group, ADR is the one who looks the most like a sociopath? Because that's what's doing it for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might be better than that lunatic couple in Arizona. Paige: THIS IS MY HOUSE! Seriously Gordon, we had to sell our house and now we're living in the restaurant. Please help us turn things around. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Surely those Hogan/Flair matches were taped are are sitting in the vaults, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Just now, Curt McGirt said: Surely those Hogan/Flair matches were taped are are sitting in the vaults, right? The 2 MSG Hogan/Flair matches are on DVD. They also had three dark matches on TV tapings (one of which being their first match ever) and the second match they ever had (Oakland) exists on a fancam. So yeah, at least six Hogan/Flair matches were taped in some capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 And lets not forget they bled a ton because...well what else could they do. It's a shame Ric Flair's few remaining matches (and I use that loosely) were used in TNA and that cash grab with Hogan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raziel Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 41 minutes ago, L_W_P said: Did anyone film the match they had on the (not) TNA show in Melbourne about 7 years back? Hogan didnt take a single bump and then won by hitting Flair with a chain wrapped around his fist. Awful, awful stuff but hey... get to tell the grandkids I saw them live I guess. EDIT - From the wiki of that tour - The main event of each show was a rematch between Hogan and Ric Flair—the wrestler who defeated Hogan more times than any other. Hogan defeated Flair in all four matches, bringing his career record against Flair from 2–8 to 6–8. Hogan you bitter fuck... That Wiki has to be wrong. While Hogan had those 2 WCW wins, he also had all those count-out wins against Flair at MSG shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
