I just stumbled upon some random trivia about Hulk Hogan, and this is what I found:

In the NWO his finisher was the Powerbomb.

Never heard of this, so my question is did he ever actually finish a match with a powerbomb?

Never seen him do it ever. Dunno why he ever would, especially in the nWo when Nash, Norton, and Hall all had powerbomb finishers.

Only other finisher besides the Leg Drop I know of is the Axe Bomber...

I think he used the powerbomb in his feud versus Kidman in 2000, but other than that I cannot remember him ever using the move

That would make sense because Kidman needs a reverse powerbomb spot otherwise the match doesn't count.

He used the Powerbomb during his FUNB gimmick

He used the 360 Splash in his early days.

Until he got a red ring of death, anyway.

He's not Nash.

Yeah. Nash is widely recognized as the inventor and only one ever to be able to pull off a 720 Splash. Come on Guru Dave.

Didn't Hogan originally use a bearhug as a finisher? Then it changed to the Legdrop, or the "axebomber" in Japan.

The what?

Basically, FUNB is Fuck You New Blood..... Back in WCW when Hogan and the other old farts of WCW were The Millionaires Club taking on the young stars led by Rusoo & Bischoff.... also the time when he feuded with Billy Kidman like I mentioned earlier....

I don't think Hogans back could support a powerbomb.

Maybe not his hip, but his back?

nah his special was like a rip off of the Flair Flop and then he'd poke the other guy in the eye. it was really stupid

don't know anyone who ever played as Hogan on Revenge because his moves were so lame

Ah. yeah. Did he have a belly-to-back suplex/slam as his finisher from behind? Perhaps that's what I was thinking of.

I never played as Hogan on any games because he was lame all together. The only one I played as him was WWE Legend, but that was because I had to :p Lame!

Hogan's finisher originally was the shooting star press.

I love watching vids of Hogan from before his face hollowed out.
