It's all about you, isn't it?

twistedyouth June 18 2005, 08:34:29 UTC

Are you trying to all-time burn me?

andythesaint June 18 2005, 08:35:16 UTC

Nope. I see no typos in your comments.

Earthquake squashing Hulk on the Brother Love show is my favourite Hulk Hogan moment.

andythesaint June 18 2005, 08:46:20 UTC

No Earthquake moment can ever qualify for a best list. It's a rule.

With awesome movies come awesome quotes like "Earthlings! I HATE Earthlings!"

I've been thinking of the possible Top 5 Wrestling World Champions and where I would put Hogan, because as bad as he was it is impossible to deny he was a great champion for the company. He would have to be 1 or 2, but I can't decide which.

andythesaint June 18 2005, 21:06:17 UTC

It would depend on your criteria, but I'd have to say that Hogan should be number one. He was champion when being champion really meant something. Since the late nineties, World Champion was a bit of an arbitrary distinction, with storyline meaning more than who was champ (making some champs, like Big Show, Jericho, an Kurt Angle during his first run less important than others). When Hogan was champ, the WWF would run 6 or 7 shows a week, and the champ was the main selling point.

Now, if actual wrestling ability and title reigns mean more in your criteria, then Hogan runs second to Ric Flair.

Yeah, I know you must be talking about WWF history exclusively because there's no way in hell Hogan is a more important World Champion than Lou motherfucking Thesz, who was the first and last holder of the only true undisputed title in history.

But if you are talking 'modern' wrestling, let's say from the 80's on up, I argue still that Harley Race and Ric Flair should be higher than Hulk Hogan on the list.

andythesaint June 19 2005, 02:06:28 UTC

From my perspective, the WWF was always bigger globally than the NWA. NWA seemed to be a bigger deal amongst wrestling fans, but amongst non-fans in a lot of the world, particularly where I'm from, it was a non-entity. That's why WWF success ranks higher because it was more big-time. I have the Ric Flair Collection, he's not exactly wrestling in front of a packed Silverdome in those matches against Harley Race.

I can't be the only one that hated when he came back. I just can't.

onemorevictim June 22 2005, 03:19:03 UTC

I hated it too!

theskooch June 22 2005, 03:31:29 UTC
