It's so cool watching early WWF Hulkamania
When he first came back and turned face. First of all, I don't give a fuck about what anyone says, the man could fucking work like a motherfucker. Maybe not a technical genius, but he was as rough and tumble as a Stan Hansen and always brought it, and for a man his size could move quickly.

Also awesome was that eye of the tiger was his original theme which I'm sure many of you know but I did not, so fucking cool to see him come out to that. I just figured he had no music, but I guess it was his music in AWA and it carried over.

I think what was so amazing about him all the way up until even the Macho Man feud (because I say that's probably when he peaked as a performer up until his run in the nWo) is that he was LEGITIMATELY a super hero. He was a full on comic book super hero, and some how and some way it was so fucking believable even watching it now. Just perfect timing, well done feuds, great facials. When he wrestled a match, he always made it a titanic struggle and he was great with subtleties, his psycology was ALWAYS there... he made the little things matter. I honestly think he is the only guy that embodied being a full on cartoon/comic book character. He legit was "immortal" in his own way.

And there's all these little things I find cool, like how he didn't always wear the red and yellow, but often had blue trunks. I always though it was the #redandyellow. I also love seeing "The Incredible Hulk Hogan" as a heel vs. Andre and also as a mega face in AWA. Just cool as fucking shit.

The moral of the story is the access we have to all this oldschool wrestling is fucking awesome because it really helps you appreciate it all. I'm not even a Hogan mark, but holy shit was he cool as cool in his prime, and I would venture to say damned near untouchable.

you seriously compare Hogan to Stan Hansen? I don't know whether to laugh or to cry.

I knew he used Eye of the Tiger since AWA.

Many folks seem to think he always used Real American. That's because WWE has always dubbed it over on the old shows.

He even used it at Wrestlemania 1.

Massive props to Seth82 for reminding us that people think he always used Real American, but he doesn't get the extra point for pointing out that is was the US Express who used it before Hogan.

But yea, gotta agree with Mr. Newstand. Hogan was a real life super hero for many of us. He embodied what was good with the world, didn't take shit, but didn't give people shit either. He embodied compassion and love, with a super hero physique to back it up.

People shit on the legdrop as a finisher, but it's not like he just drops down on them. Dude gets some serious air, and for a guy his size, it looks pretty cool.

The legdrop was a great finish. It was a showpiece end. Same as Warrior's splash and Macho's elbow.

But then people started including all of the above as part of their normal everyday repertoire, and when that starts happening, it's difficult to accept it as a finishing move.

I mean, X-Pac and D'Lo used the legdrop in practically every match, and usually made no impact.

In his early days he was a rough brawler, over time, he Americanized his style. Hansen just kept it real.

I hear ya brother, you are in safe lands here with other Hulkamanias dude. I have rewatched the WM6 Ultimate Warrior/Hulk Hogan match a couple times already. He is from that era of when I was straight kayfabe and he is still able to transport me back to that time.

Real American was originally for Mike Rotundo and Barry Windham, but after they split, they slapped it on Hogan. He was using a pretty boring instrumental theme at the time (same one they used for the opening of the Rock n Wrestling cartoon). One of the best ideas the WWE ever had for early character development.

he was the man. I'd go in depth but I've written it so many times on here, usually in his defence in regards to the usual "boooo Hogan" sentiment. He was the definition of making every little thing you do mean something, nobody has ever had timing like Hogan. There's a reason he's the biggest the pro wrestler ever, he was the perfect guy. The fact he can lay claim to being one of the greatest babyfaces and the one of the greatest heels of all time says everything.

you should cry given that Hogan was better than Stan Hansen on pretty much every single level.

Thanks for the laugh.

Hansen was a beast. I guess he's insignificant since he spent most of his career in Japan.

Hogan was a good worker once upon a time.

Hansen was a beast. And he's not at all insignificant. And Hansen was also a good worker once upon a time. Just not as good as Hogan. Same goes for his promos. Or his presence. Or his facials. Or his timing. Or his look. And so on and so on.

That's what I was saying. Of course Hansen was a beast you wang chung. I fucking love Stan Hansen, I could watch his matches for hours. But Hogan, when he brought the heat, could brawl like Stan the Man, Never mind how he was better at everything else. For Christ's sake they had the same finishing move for years until Hogan started doing the leg drop.

Obviously as a baby face Hogan couldn't wrestle like the bar room brawler Stan Hansen was but fuck was he a big tough hombre when it came down to it.

IMO Hogan was untouchable from like 1982/1983-1990 ish. Once the 90s hit he was pretty god damned awful until he turned heel, where he was amazing for a short amount of time (in the grand scheme of things) and has had sporadic moments of awesomeness ever since.

At the end of the day he is and was probably the most special performer we'll ever know. I like Austin and Rocky better, and they acquired amazing success, but Hulk had that magic, that you can almost not put words to.

that is in fact one of my favourite Stan Hansen matches. I also love Brody and Hansen vs Steamboat and Strongbow. Just a crazy fast paced match.

I mean, X-Pac and D'Lo used the legdrop in practically every match, and usually made no impact.
Yokozuna's leg drop was awesome as fuck and he usually used it as a mid-match spot.

Yeah Hogan's leg drop for the era was fine, because the psychology always made sense. But once you got into the 90s I feel like he shoulda just used the axe bomber or something different.

He also did a mean flying knee to the face.

I think you meant Youngblood.

Hansen is rumored to have made around 60K a month in the 80's.

think about that - 60K a month! in the 80's is a lot of money.

at least he made good use of it and didn't blow it all like Flair.

Here's the match.

Awful.

Come on.

Clearly im fucking with you, but awful? He was a major world champion in a time of top workers. I guarantee you that if I hadnt said what I did and his name came up you would hipster cock jerk about how awesome he was. You are trying way too hard.
