Thank you for sharing this. Your comment made my lousy day a better one. Knowing Im sharing a connection with so many others out there just by reliving my childhood days in these old school wrestling videos. I hope you are well buddy.
I know this is about Hulk Hogan but in response to the segment about Hulk Hogan's work with Tiny Lister in No Holds Barred, I'd like to say RIP Tiny Lister. Unfortunately he died in December, a month after Wrestling Bios released this video.
I remember commenting on a video when you had between 40 and 50k subs asking how the heck you didn’t have at least a million subs. Your content is not only immaculate and expressive but just plain out great. The amount of research that goes into each upload is mind blowing. Keep up the good work brotha 222k and going to the moon from here. Thanks for the great videos it’s much appreciated
Whatever you think about this man you can't deny the importance hogan played. In the early 90s wrestling was dying but the nwo angle along with the monday night wars made wcw and wwe reached the heights and popularity that we will probably never see again
I know what you're saying but it didn't work because hogan was the third man. It already worked before that. Hogan was the third man because it had to be him. there was nothing NWO about hogan. i dont even associate him with the NWO lol. he's just a clown show that they had to work with.
hoga took what was suposed to be a good angle to fa he never lost and when he did he got the belt back the next night as a kid seeing luger win that night was so awesome and the heart brake the next night was crazy i was done and the finger poke was the chery on the topp never wanted to watch again
@@9mmsafetyalwaysoff00 Hogan _was_ the nWo, the nWo was literally an allegory for everything Hogan did to WCW that annoyed WCW fans such as taking it over and turning it into the very WWF and Hulkamania that the WCW fans had changed the channel to get away from.
It was funny how critics and media spoke so much about steroids around the trial days, yet not one of them knew steroids were legal to use up until 1990-1991. They went after wrestling, yet somehow overlooked bodybuilders...that was a very big oversight they missed somehow.
Mate, your videos are so well done. I truly enjoy them and some i have watched more than 2 times. The Main Event at WM 6 worked so well because it wasn't done before. That's why it was hyped to be title vs title. The rule that a wrestler in WWF at that time, not being able to hold 2 singles titles is because there were only 3 main titles. World, tag and IC. None the less, WM6 Hogan vs Warrior was the best match that both men had ever have. Warrior took instructions well that night and that's why it stands today as a classic.
Thanks Wrestling Bios! If not for your vids, I wouldn't have the privilege of occasionally getting, "EVERYBODY HEAR COMES TOO COLD SCORPIO! scorpio!" stuck in my head. Cheers!
So I used to be a pretty big fan of wresting in the WWE attitude era and that was it... I was never a fan of Hulk Hogan but this is just a masterpiece. I’m not even a fan of wrestling anymore but I’m pretty much working my way through all your videos! Your work is amazing! Cheers!
This is why I ❤️ your channel, you really went in depth in hulk's career. Also I agree hogan's '93 to '94 WWF run was absolutely confusing. Also Hogan's match with warrior at Halloween Havoc 🎃 was atrocious. That's just my opinion.
Good old politimania was running wild from 90-2001. No doubt about it. It's crazy how much pull they allowed hogan to have in his career. He literally dictated his entire run/career in wcw. "That doesn't work for me brother".
sadly kevin nash was allowed to do similar things in wcw i don't know if that was always the case with him like hogan but winning to golberg is a example of his power in the company
Hulk had this power due to his value to the sport. I hate it and Ultimate Warrior was my hero and the WCW job to Hulk pissed me off beyond belief but Hogan was just protecting his career and I can't hate him for that.
@@robjackson4050 that is true and crazy to me bc Nash did not have the same draw as Hogan. I mean not even close. I'm a 100% NWO mark so not hate to Nash but dang that was BS
I was at wm6 I was 8 at the time the crowd wanted warrior to win we all loved hogan but we all knew it was time for a change i remember my dad and uncle talking about the lead up to the match for months RIP uncle Daryl 💙
Just wanted to say it's refreshing watching a Hogan video that isn't hours of dogging the guy. You're critical where you need to be (although I personally don't have an issue with Hogan kicking out right after 3 against Warrior), but you give the guy props where it's due. Good work!
I love your videos man, they are absolute quality, and for someone who couldn't experience these days of wrestling these are awesome, i've been watching all of your Hulk Hogan videos and now i have this, you've been saving me on my free time
At that time, Hogan was still young enough in the business to support a long program up to WrestleMania VI. But, Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior carry the main event at WrestleMania VI beautifully just because they each had magnetic charisma.
I have watched/listened to these documentaries multiple times. Great content and great work done on the creator. I loved wrestling since i was child and never watched wcw because i didn't know it existed. Hope you put more of these out on other wrestlers!
I have to admit that I loved it when Hulk turned face. I was really happy and excited but it'd reached a point of no return by then because WCW had become paralyzed, being incapable of coming up with any worthy ideas to develop into a new story, sort of like what happened in '91 for WWF.
People could hate Hulkster but he had some great WrestleMania main events and honestly is better in his one pinkie than the majority of the current roster of the WWE for the last decade and this includes AEW with its midget stickmen playing wrestling.
18:21 - As a kid, I remember being pissed off that Warrior didn't keep both titles after mania. You should be able to keep both titles,...why else would the match be pushed as "Champion Vs. Champion"?
M S at the end of the day,...it's really all about fan fare I feel,...but ultimately I have to agree, what happened with the Intercontinental belt after Warrior won? My memory is fuzzy
Hogan vs warrior the ultimate example of two big strong wrestlers with little or no in ring talent but both extremely entertaining highly marketable performers it was ahead of its time due to fact both was hugely popular. The main difference between warrior and hogan was promos.
I cried when Warrior beat Hogan; i was going for Hogan. Everyone i watched with celebrated when Warrior won; i was doing all i could to hold back my tears.
You kinda needed the Hulkster embracing Ultimate Warrior at the end. It was icing on the cake and it symbolized that Hogan gave Warrior his seal of approval as champion. As far as Hogan not laying on his back more in the 90s, that might have more to do with the old school mentality that older wrestlers had. For example, how many times can you recall Piper losing clean? I can recall one time to Bret Hart at Wrestlemania. That's no knock on Hogan or Piper, but just the general frame of mind older wrestlers had about protecting their spot because wins and loses mattered unlike now where 50/50 booking is widespread. I kinda like wins and loses mattering tbh because it was so much more of a big deal when someone like Hogan lost. You don't really get that now, but that may have more to do with how overexposed wrestlers are nowadays with monthly PPVs and weekly shows that consist of 2-3 hours.
A good contrast I remember is 80s Hogan doing a spot after he lost the Championship. Basically breaking down about how he let down the Hulkamaniacs and such. Because it mattered in storyline to the characters. As opposed to say, John Cena around 2015 where I remember him doing a spot and basically shrugging off his title loss and said: "Titles come and titles go". It is a big change to be sure. But the times that things are different really stand out. Like Goldberg's winning streak. The Undertaker's WrestleMania win streak. Or heck even in the WWE when Rusev held the US title for like 9 months, defending it clean in matches as a dominant heel and giving some prestige to the belt, dragging it up from "The guy John Cena and Randy Orton beat to claim WWE Championship First Contender status".
Just so people know, Linda Hogan was a huge influence on Hogan's backstage politics. She constantly warned him against losing and hurting his career (because she liked the money). Also, at the end of the day Vince was the one who said yes.
I think the Wrestlemania 9 debacle actually elevated Brett Hart's legacy amongst wrestling fans beyond what it would be if he had been selected to defeat Yokozuna at Wrestlemania 9. It made for a landmark match in wrestling history, but without the drama between Hulk and Brett, it would just be a footnote. Which really speaks to the power of Hulkamania.
The 18 months from Bash at the Beach to the opening of Starcade 97 was the greatest wrestling timeline in history. Sadly, By the end of Starcade 97 it was all over.
And to anyone that says that the Goldberg match was the beginning of the end, I’m sorry. I lived it. Starcade 97 was the end. That botch was the moment I stopped watching. Nothing after that was ever going to make sense. I gave them a chance the next night but the fact that they tried to sell the fast count was just ridiculous and I gave it up. Had the WCW side said “yeah we cheated Hogan, who cares?” Then it would’ve been a better and maybe salvageable. But instead they tried to gaslight the fans into believing nonsense and it killed the story.
I love all of the Wrestling Bois & of course i never miss a new upload when it comes to Reliving the War, you go above and beyond and i want to say thank you first off! I did want to ask you have any plans on picking up where the Hulk Hogan 90's ended and cover the rest from the actual end of his WCW career, TNA and the return to WWE and put them all in one of these multiple hour videos just as you have done with the 70's, 80's & 90's? Again awesome work and i love your channel it is by far my favorite channel to watch so thank you for that!
It's so strange how Hogan's career in the 90s went. From the beginning to the end it doesn't seem like the same decade and such a drastic changes. 10 years a lot can happen in the wrestling world. Great video btw
In 1991 I started beying SilverVision/Coliseum Video supercards. Luckily, since there was no internet or great sources to speak of, so most of the shows' outcomes were still mostly a mystery. Hell, even the Summerslam Warrior match was half-a-mystery. An awesome time in my early youth.
It was bound to happen eventually especially with the advent of the big 4(5) PPVs and more tv shows like SNME and MNR. Wrestlers are overexposed and as a consequence get staler quicker.
I was at Mania VI, Hogan really didnt celebrate with the Warrior after the loss. He literallly took the belt, handed it to Warrior and left the ring. That being said, most of the fans watched Hogan leave before looking back to Warrior who was celebrating and then the fireworks started. The celebration together happened at Mania VIII. Great Video though. Im a fan of your work. Absolutely am enjoying Reliving The War series.
and addition. this documentary is a masterpiece. detail every detail is accurate. hope you could do a STONECOLD docu. as well as THE ROCK. TRIPLE H and MANKIND MICK FOLEY docu. 👍🏻👍🏻
If they could book it all over again, having Warrior defeat Sgt. Slaughter at Royal Rumble ‘91 would have been the preferred finish. WWF President, Jack Tunney, could have declared that the winner of the 1991 Royal Rumble would be given a title shot at that year’s Wrestlemania. Hogan wins the Royal Rumble ( as he did anyway ) setting up a Warrior vs Hogan rematch at WM7. This change would have meant that the larger venue for WM8 could have gone ahead as originally planned. Then Hogan could have regained the championship at WM8 in a Hogan redemption storyline. This would have given either a feel-good story that Hogan fell but got back up and overcame….or, Hogan had to resort to underhanded tactics and turned heel to win the title ( perhaps with help from Savage and Sherri ). Either is better than what we got, IMO.
The Hogan vs Warrior at 98 Halloween Havoc along with DDP vs Goldberg match that night was the only WCW PPV I ever got. Yes it was not the best PPV, but I enjoyed both matches.
I bet one for comedy and the other one for legit action.. DDP vs Bill Goldberg was so good I will watch that match again and again.. Hulk Hogan vs The Ultimate Warrior was so hilarious 😆 I loved it for what it was and I will rewatch it after I'm done with this video..
He is a WORLDWIDE household name. His fame has never been surpassed by any wrestler. The rock is now bigger, as an actor, but he was a joke in the beginning because he came from wrestling
Hey hold up a second BROTHER! Hulk didn’t ruin WM9! All the Hulkster did that night at WM9, was come save Bret from Yokozuna, finish the job Bret couldn’t, and took the belt back. Leaving thousands of Hulkamaniacs screaming and going home happy that night. You’d think Bret would be grateful. But no! Instead, years later… The Hulkster goes out, gives it his best effort, puts on the squash match of the century beating sting, clean in the middle of the ring 1, 2, 3 at Starcade 97. Then at 2:06:13, in slides Good ole “it’s still real to me” Bret Hart to get his “revenge” against Hogan for WM 9, and help Sting cheat Hulk out of his title. Bret’s one sick individual
One thing that was left out of the WM7 match between Slaughter and Hogan was Slaughter throwing fire in the face of Hogan in the locker room while Mean Gean was talking with Hogan
