Guest Downhome Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Don't you just love the Bearhug? Seriously, it's such a great finisher, with so much prestige behind it. If they were going to do anything with Hogan/Brock, that was the way to do it! Yes, have Hogan pass out from an obviously week, no force administerd, "hug of love". Yes, I'm being sarcastic and I HATE the move, and if you ask me... ...it should have been left in the 80's, damnit! Sincerely, ...Downhome...
Guest papacita Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 Personally, I don't have a problem with the move. Speaking as someone who's been bearhugged by a big guy (btw, it hurt like hell), I think it's a credible move if done right. However, I think Brock's bearhug would've left a better impression had he actually done more work on Hogan's ribs, though. But as for the move itself, no problem.
Guest Fook_Hing_Ho Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I think the bear hug only works if the guy administering the move shakes the smaller guy like a rag doll instead of holding him still. BTW, I propose that whenever Lesnar does the bear hug, it will be referred to as the "Brock Lock".
Guest crandamaniac Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 I think the bear hug only works if the guy administering the move shakes the smaller guy like a rag doll instead of holding him still. Agreed. Look at the that one clip of Chyna throwing Terri around. Man that was brutal!
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 9, 2002 Report Posted August 9, 2002 big difference between Terri & Terry (Hogan). Terri is like 5'0" 90 pounds, and hogan is 6'8" 300 pounds. How Making Hogan "pass-out" in a bearhug to a guy SMALLER then him is beyond me.
Guest The Superstar Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 Fook, that's what WWE Magazine (mark mag) refers to his Bear Hug. They say that's what he used to finish off amateur opponents when he was 5 years old as all the people in the audience chanted "BROCK LOCK!" ... ... Riiight.
Guest nWoScorpion Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 The Dick Lick (lol, cause his name rhymes with cock so it transfers....ugh
Guest The Hollywood Fashion Plate Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 There's a website devoted to the bearhug i think....only it emphasizes the....(ahem) homoeroticism of the move. Look it up on Google or something cause i don't know (or want to know) its address...just thought i'd mention it because i stumbled upon it and quickly wished i hadn't.
Guest alfdogg Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 Actually, Hogan is 280 now, so he would be smaller thn Brock (292 I think).
Guest Austin3164life Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 Brock needs to only use the bearhug on someone like Chris Benoit, Spike Dudley, RVD, or other smaller wrestlers. It looks more painful and effective. Especially if Brock would use the "Chyna whip" on the smaller guys, it would look pretty sick.
Guest TheRockIsTheEuropeanChampion Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 There's a website devoted to the bearhug i think....only it emphasizes the....(ahem) homoeroticism of the move. Look it up on Google or something cause i don't know (or want to know) its address...just thought i'd mention it because i stumbled upon it and quickly wished i hadn't. Is this the page you were referring to? ... Ugh. I know you said you didn't want to know, but since I'm a big loser, I decided to post it... to everyone's dismay. Have a nice day.
Guest Angle-plex Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 One time at a house show, I got to see Test vs Albert (I know, it's a dream match), and Albert applied a bearhug for what seemed like 15 minutes. I was so excited.

Guest Mattdotcom Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 At least it wasn't as bad as the Bearhug Orgy at Halloween Havoc 1995, starring Yeti the Mummy, The Giant, and Hulk Hogan.
Guest evenflowDDT Posted August 10, 2002 Report Posted August 10, 2002 I have no idea why, but of all the "boring ol' skool holds", the bearhug has always bothered me the most... anyway, on the bearhug lovers site, there's a "personals" page... "Looking for someone to have a squeezing session with. I love to give and receive bearhugs and body scissors. If you are bigger than me, I am willing to be your jobber. I wrestle in bikini and thongs." That's from Luke, in Conroe, Texas... "Big good looking, rough houser, look'n for guy big and tough enough to overpower me (with safe and sane limits)... am pretty intense guy but novice wrestler..." [emphasis added for comedic value] OMG! Triple H goes to that site! Ho ho, nothing like an ol' skool INTENSE~! Triple H joke, just like nothing like an ol' skool BEARHUG~!
Guest TheZsaszHorsemen Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 That wasn't an orgy! Giant REENFORCED the bearhug. That's because Hogan needs more than one big man to put him down. Errr?
Guest Mattdotcom Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 Hey, my mom said it was an orgy and oh, dear, I've set myself up.
Guest Downhome Posted August 11, 2002 Report Posted August 11, 2002 That wasn't an orgy! Giant REENFORCED the bearhug. That's because Hogan needs more than one big man to put him down. Errr? So does this mean that Brock is equivilent to the power of the mighty Yeti and the unstopable Giant!?
