Who did Hulk Hogan elevate during his WWE Run

[Dolph'sZiggler]

it was one of the worst ever, and the streak was still huge as fuck. He did it for himself and you know it. If anything nWo was stale and he tried using it as a pedestal to keep them on top

there was a thread about this earlier. I have to blame it on money and the fact Hogan knew people wouldnt call it memorable.

It honestly makes me wonder how people think hulkamania trotting down to the Rumble pit will be great even if he tries to bury anyone there? I hope to god when he takes out ziggler (since it will have to be against guys who sell well like Ziggy and Dust) Ziggler oversells that shit like a god and it gets him back on track.

You must be rewriting history or something. Goldberg was boring as fuck at that point because he had beaten everyone and nobody ever expected him to lose. I was a 7 year old mark at the time, a KEVIN NASH mark mind you, and my Dad asked me if we should get the PPV (we watched Nitro and would decide if we buy PPVs.. for most of 96/97 we did and parts of 98.) I told him no and went to my Uncle's house to play NCAA 99. I hated Goldberg. I would shit on the streak. It made Goldberg too one dimensional and it had to go.

as far as Nash doing it for himself or NWO being stale, NWO Wolfpack was over as fuck. All of my friends had wolfpack merch and they were selling that shit like hot cakes in 98. Nash was over as fuck bro, don't be a hater.

lol i was like 12 at the time, and i can promise you goldberg was as over as nash if not more. Nash is one of my all time favorites but thinking he didnt play a role in creative when it's documented is laughable bro.

Nash wrote himself to win vs goldberg, and the streak would have been 10x more impressive had he gone over big sexy instead of jobbing to a fucking eye poke and shit. Come on man.

 

[Aids Johnson]

I should also mention here i hated goldberg and marked when Nash won, just not HOW he won. It was such a cheap match all around.

And the wolfpac sucked, remember how bad the shit got after the company wars? That must have been in 99 or 2000 though....that shit was SO BAD.

No. He was just a less over face than Big Sexy.

Guess who gets the bigger response during the entrance?



Big fucking sexy. every mark in the crowd has their kliq sign thrown up

Where did I deny he bookd himself to do it? I know he did, I'm not a fucking idiot lmao. And it was a stungun, not an eyepoke, wtf?

edit: my point was he had good reason to book himself to end the streak. He was the fucking man ity2:

you rewatch that shit too much, i havent seen the match in over a decade and i misconstrued the shit....my bad?

Big sexy gets pops because people love him but you cant deny everyone assumed he was going to job. It was a shit match...but how many 4* matches has your jerk off material ever had tbh. He is a bigger, more intimidating version of CM punk. Great on the mic, overrated in matches TBH.

And you didn't buy the PPV? Why the hell not?

he was like 7 and his dad was the breadwinner WCW fan.

I'm not denying it, THAT was why I didn't watch the PPV bro. Nash doesn't put on technical masterpieces but he understands psychology and is charismatic enough that I enjoy watching his matches. Obviously workrate marks shit on him but thats not my or his problem. He was over and had all the credentials of a top guy. He had the look. the charisma. the size. he was that dude. he just so happened to be booker. Who else would YOU have booked to have ended the streak? The Bad Guy???

I won't even touch on the blasphemous Punk comparison you pulled out of thin air

And you didn't buy the PPV? Why the hell not?

I expected Big Sexy to job because I was sick of Goldberg's streak. To me it wasn't like 'gee I hope Big Sexy ends the streak!' it was 'fucking hate goldberg so much I don't want to watch him beat up Nash'

Fuck yeah i would have given the Bad Guy the rub he needed. Gladly bro.

 

[Aids Johnson]

the punk comparison was just some action jackson troll bait shit. It was worth it.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

yea that would have been cool actually having his only world title be ending Goldberg's streak, but still,, Nash was more over and the more believable champ. Hall was drunk off his ass at this point

Hall was still so much better in the ring than your boy nash bro. Hall ONLY wasn't a believable champ because he stood next to Nash. I still have friends who talk about hall not being a "big guy" before i fuck them up with the hard truth.

Hall was better on the mic, better in the ring, he just wasnt as pretty.

Better on the mic?? No way man. Hall was great, but too one dimensional. Nash was a great storyteller on the mic.
