My reaction

[Guest]

I watched that segment, and actually rather enjoyed it.  I guess it's just something about watching Hogan screaming horribly and writhing in pain on a cold concrete arena floor that appeals to me.

 

ANYWAY,

 

When the Undertaker tied him up and dragged him around backstage, two things came to mind.  The first, as UT finished the knot and started up the bike, was "What if this bike stalls, too?"

 

And so I laughed.  But then, as the bike functioned properly, and Hogan went for ride, I found myself able to think and say only one word:

 

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

Now, I'm sure that was supposed to be a moment of high drama, as I became shocked and horrified by the dastardly actions of the antagonist (Undertaker) as I felt empathy for the struggling heroic protagonist (Hogan), but, well, that just plain isn't how it works.  I thought he was having tons of fun.  I know I would be shouting "wheeeeeeeeeee!" at the top of my lungs if Undertaker was doing that to me.

 

And that's why I'd never make it as a wwf superstar.

I kept thinking it would've been funny if the knot would've come undone. I also kept thinking how the "concrete" looked like carpet. Not a shag rug or anything like that, but carpet nonetheless.

I also thought he would come undone.

i dunno he didn't really writher, just kinda rabed his shoulder and grunted.

Yes, well, you have to rememeber that's how the "great" thespian known as Hulk Hogan conveys "writhing in pain."

 

I mean, come on, it's not like he's the second coming of Sir Lawrence Olivier.

 

Although I'll admit I would probably pay to see Hogan peform Richard III...

 

"Well thou know'st something Mean Gene, all my Gloucestermaniacs know that now is the winter of our discontent, dude!  But when I doth get mine hands on that big, ugly, nasty, stinky pretender to my throne, brother, the largest broadsword in England shalt runneth wild all over Bosworth Field!  And thus, in conclusion, Henry Tudor, WHAT WILT THOU DO?  When King Richard III, and the full power of Gloucestermania, RUNNETH WILD ALL OVER THOU?"

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!  That's what I was thinking too.

 

Also, that was one thick jacket and he had a helmet.  Can Hogan not even take that little bump?  It wasn't even a bump... more of a slide, if you will...

[Guest crandamaniac]

anybody else laughing there ass off at the thought of hogan, tied to the back of a bike, yelling "WHEEEEEEEEEEE!" at the top of his lungs?

[Guest phoenixrising]

Not only did Hogan writhe in pain, he was also attempting to whisper/speak "neck, neck, my neck" in one of the hokiest performances I have ever seen.  I was laughing my ass off at that segment...oh it was supposed to be serious JR?  Yeah, being dragged at 4 mph on a motorcycle then being sent into a bunch of empty boxes is DEVASTATION!  Thank God for that helmet and padded jacket, otherwise all 256 bones in his body would have been broken by that "assault".

 

Only thing I laughed harder at was the bike deciding to job for Hogan on the ramp, and JR and King selling it as if the four horsemen of the apocalypse had descended upon us.

I was also cracking up at how the "tire iron" was all bent up like a pretzel after two shots. When Taker through it off screen and you heard it clanging I could picture the tech off camera dropping a real tire iron or crowbar to make the noise.

that is the funniest thing I've read on this board in ages. Hogan the thespian..LOL. god that's funny shit.

[Guest]

Thanks.

 

Of course, if this production really happened, they'd have to change the ending.  Because, you know, Richard III does the clean job to Tudor at the end of act 5, and historically speaking, that doesn't seem to be a trick in the Hulkster's repetroire.

 

Which would really mess with British history.

I was thinking Hogan probably had a stunt double.

That was some funny shit. People are staring at me because I can't stop laughing.
