Hogan in a ladder match?

[Guest Mudshark]

Back in the mid-eighties we used to have British wrestling shown every Saturday afternoon. Very rarely we would have our usual show replaced with WWF matches (not that I'm complaining - I'd rather have seen the British Bulldogs instead of Big Daddy any day of the week).

 

Anyway, I seem to remember seeing Hulk Hogan in a ladder match on one of these shows. I know that seems really unlikey, and I think my memory is playing tricks on me, but does anyone out there know any different? Has Hogan ever been in a ladder match?

I doubt it... the ladder match was pretty much a Stampede invention, and wasn't brought into the Whiff until about 92 or 93 when Bret and Shawn did some at house shows and later for a Coloseum tape.

 

I guess it's *possible*, but I don't think it's likely.

[Guest Mudshark]

Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

I guess my brain was only half formed back then. Thanks for replying so fast.

Just the thought of Hogan in a ladder match is weird. I wonder what he would do in a match like that.

[Guest J*ingus]

My guess is it would look a lot like the Dusty Rhodes vs. Tully Blanchard "barbed-wire ropes & ladder" match, which was mostly both guys pushing each other's faces slooooooowly towards the wire, and they never actually did anything with the ladder.

[Guest Tony149]

That would be bad. I've seen one the Dusty/Tully "barb-wire on the ropes & ladder" matches on the Great American Bash '87 video and it was bad. Although it seemed like the barb-wire was real, as the camera had a perfect shot of the wire cutting Tully's arm. Unless they bladed.

It sorta looked like Dusty had a blade when he cut Tullys arm I dunno
