Who did Hulk Hogan elevate during his WWE Run

[Dolph'sZiggler]

When you think about it, didn't HH elevate everyone on the roster since he elevated the entire company??

brother jack dude

TNA

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:

I was there. DC is nWo country. Fuck Goldberg.

dude you are like my hero

I heckled Van Hammer at that show. He was in the crowd about 7 rows in front of me. I heckled the fuck out of them until he stood up. Then I was quiet lol

Nash is such a beast. I would have marked like a damn schoolgirl when he won.

 

[Action Jackson]

And everyone loved it when Hall came out and tazed Goldberg. It's fucking Hall. He's the man. The powerbomb after was legendary.

The opener to that show was fun to see. Rey vs Juvi vs Kidman. Kidman does an SSP from the top rope to the other dudes on the outside.

My other favorite match was DDP vs Giant. DDP is always my shit, and Giant/Show is insanely huge in person.

Nash is such a beast. I would have marked like a damn schoolgirl get he won.

He's an awesome dude. The crowd was electric afterwards, all the way onto the trains. Crowds of people doing wolf howls and shit.

sounds tight

Yeah I made sure to mention it when I met him in 09. He's a super nice dude. It would be awesome to book him for an interview, if only to drink and talk turkey with BIG SEXY THE GIANT KILLER.

Do you guys really think he elevated The Ultimate Warrior? I mean, Warrior was pretty much already a main-eventer when he won that match, no? I do get the point of how wrestling was different back in the day, that makes sense a lot actually. I was just trying to see if he has ever elevated someone to main event status, and it continued after the matches with him.

Depends on how you look at being 'elevated.' On one hand, Warrior was already rivaling Hogan's popularity but on the other, it wasn't until Hogan actually laid down for him (thus taking his first clean pin fall loss since the Hulkamania run began) that Warrior officially became a made man. And going over Hogan certainly meant more than going over any other guy would have.

Most guys who are able to use the rub of someone else to get themselves up to main event status have already largely gotten themselves over on their own, they usually just need that one big win or rub over an already established main eventer to officially solidify them as a main event player. It's rare for a guy who has little credibility in the midcard to go straight from being a nobody to being a top guy just because he worked with one.

I guess i'm looking at it from Warrior's point of view. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I'm pretty sure his merch was outselling Hogans for a solid year, and he was getting bigger reactions. I understand what you're saying though, but without hogan I think Warrior would have still been a main eventer, maybe. I dunno. All speculation lol

There are main eventers and there are wrestling legends. Nobody will ever forget Warrior in wrestling history because of Mania 6. Before that he was an over dude, but he hadn't been around long and what was his big moment before that? Some Summerslam feuds with Rick Rude? That's cool and all but being the first dude to cleanly go over Hulk is a huge thing.

That's my take on it anyhow.

Yes, that's what the point of the match was. He passed the torch to Warrior, who consequently dropped the torch because Warrior sucked ass.
