Guest Downhome Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 (I have posted this here, as it really wouldn't serve much purpose being in the Puroresu folder. However, if you feel is needs to be moved, then please move it to General Wreslting folder, thanks!) This match was in that group of tapes that I just posted about, and I just watched it. Seriously, if you have ever doubted Hulk Hogan, then you owe it to yourself to download and watch this match, or just go out and buy the show/tape that the match is on. All I can say is that I am truly shocked at Hogan's showing in it, it is just so weird. It is indeed one of the greatest, if not THE greatest Hogan match of all time. Hell, Hogan working the mat, taking it to Muta, and doing an inzuguri kick = shocking as about anything I`ve ever seen, lol. It`s a great match, and I give Hogan a lot of credit for it. It took place not too long after he won the title at WM9, in May of '93, in between Wrestlemania 9 where he won the WWF World Title and King of the Ring '93 where he lost the title to Yokozuna, in case you are wondering. So in this match, he is indeed WWF World Champion. Anyhow... ...check this match out, as it should shock you, if you have never seen it before. I'm not saying he's ***** by any means, but this is a solid outing by two legends, period. Not only is the in-ring action pretty good, but there are a few "spots" both inside ther ing and outside, that are just cool as hell. I wont say what they are here, as to not spoil it for you. Just go download it, and post your thoughts on it here! Sincerely, ...Downhome...
Guest mickberna Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 I can't find it on P2P... any ideas where to download? I'd like to check it out... call me a masochist if you will.
Guest Dangerous A Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 Hey Downhome, I got that same tape you have that match on. It opens up with the Muta/Hase bloodbath classic. I, too was shocked to see Hogan's work in that match. Hell, he vertical suplexed Muta on the floor, and even busted out a jujigatame (cross arm breaker). I didn't have high expectations for that match, but after watching it, it's probrably the hardest Hogan worked besides WM 6 against Warrior.

What is that weapon that Muta uses in his matches that I keep seeing? The one he had in the bloodbath classic (I loved that match also btw), and he even pulled it out in the Hogan match. I can't make it out, do you know what it is?

I can't make it out, do you know what it is? He always takes some kind of rod from under the ring, I think they use it to tighten the ropes after each match. The match is from the 93 Wrestling Dontaku. I have the actual show which isn't that bad. The Hogan match is good, but the after match interview is pretty good too. Hogan talks about the WWF title being a toy that he takes when wants. I guess this put him in deep water with the suits when he came back for contract renegotiations.
Guest razazteca Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 I was very shocked that Hogan did a arm wringer into an arm bar submission in the 1st shoulder & elbow lock up!!! I have about 60% dl so far
Guest art_vandelay Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 Didn't Hogan say if he worked this style in the US, fans would fall asleep?

Guest Kid Kablam Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 where are you guys downloading this from?
Guest Hitman Jebus Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 I got it from WinMx KaZaa always surprises me also with their wrestling match selection (such as the NWATNA matches)...It could definitely be there
Guest eiker_ir Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 the nwa tna matches in Kazaa are mine....... u can download the Hogan-Muta match from Direct Connect bye (or find me whenever i'm in Kazaa) edit: oh yeah i was 2 shocked seeing this match, Benoit Who?
Guest gangsteruwa Posted August 24, 2002 Report Posted August 24, 2002 As a person who has only seen the stereotypical Hogan matches, I must say I was definately pleased with that match. That was probably the best Hogan match I have ever seen. I downloaded it off of Direct Connect. Its very helpful for getting wrestling matches.

Anyone else out there who gave it a try? Seriously, even if you hate Hogan, you owe it to yourself to just check this out! Just in case you guys don't know, I believe you can also download this match here. So check it out, and let all of us know what YOU think!
Guest mickberna Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 He won with a CLOTHESLINE? This does not inspire much respect for the combination of Hogan and Japanese wrestling.

Ugh, you should edit that as to not spoil it for anyone who has never seen it. The ending was GREAT to me, just great, for more than one reason. Anyhow, really, edit what you just said.
Guest art_vandelay Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 It's not a clothesline, it's an AXE BOMBAAHHHHHHH!!!!
Guest deadbeater Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 The LARIATOOO is a mad over move in Japan.
Guest RickyChosyu Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Since when is Muta a legend? I hate Muta, and I don't like those matches either. Hogan/Hansen is good, though.
Guest art_vandelay Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Since when is Muta a legend? Since he became one of the biggest draws in wrestling. The guy's workrate/laziness has nothing to do with it.
Guest RickyChosyu Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Since when is Muta a legend? Since he became one of the biggest draws in wrestling. The guy's workrate/laziness has nothing to do with it. Well, he's certainly not a draw anymore, is he? And I'm not sure supposed drawing power is what makes a legend a legend. I mean, really, the Muta character was what got it to legendary status. It was all a Halloween costume, as far as I've always been able to tell. Eh, I suppose if crapping all of wrestling while being "mysterious" is what makes him legendary, then it counts. I guess being a draw for any period of time doesn't always cement someone as such, in my mind.
Guest art_vandelay Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Well, I guess my definition of "legend" is whether or not a performer can sustain a top spot on the roster for a very long period of time. That's just how I see it, and Mutoh fits that description better than most.

Guest eiker_ir Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 He won with a CLOTHESLINE? no, it was the AXE BOMBAH!! AXE BOMBAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!! why Japana takes clotheslines so seriously?? and Muta/Mutoh is a legend IMO

Six months? And what exactly does being "the #1 draw in AJPW mean right now? Who's he competing with? Tenryu, Kojima? This is a company that had pretty much fallen off the face of the wrestling world until a few months ago. It's not as if he's out there in mid-ninties AJPW where they were still doing good business. And like I said, drawing power doesn't create a legend. Timelesness, attention to your craft, a possitive affect on wreslting. That's legendary. Mutoh is a lazy sack of shit who lies on his back, collects his pay check, and then claims to be saving wrestling. What a joke.
Guest BionicRedneck Posted August 25, 2002 Report Posted August 25, 2002 Sorry Ricky but i have to disagree. AJPW is drawing sell-outs while NJPW buisiness is in decline, Mutoh is a big draw. He is a legend. You suggest all Mutoh ever did was be a lazy sack of shit, and thats not quite true is it? I mean Mutoh has been involved in some awesome matches. Oh, and I'm just curious but do you see Ricky Choshu as a legend?
