JoeDirt 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2004 If you had to list Hogan's 10 best matches in his career, what would you put on the list? (if you can only think of 5, that's cool, lol) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Hmmm....this is hard to do, but I'll rundown some in no particular order. He's had plenty of good-great matches with Randy Savage from 1985-1989 around the house show circuit and especially at MSG. Hogan carried Warrior to a match so great you can't believe it was all him. Hogan vs. Slaughter at WM VII is one of the most under-rated WM Main events ever. Hogan vs. Flair at several MSG shows that I have seen have peaked ***. Hogan vs. Orndorff series was pretty good, although I've only seen 3 of their matches (Big Event, SNME Cage, Spectraum Cage). Hogan vs. Bossman in the Cage at the 5/89 SNME is another match you wouldn't expect to be very good considering Bossman hadn't shown much signs of talent squashing jobbers and people half his size. The workrate was horrible, but the WM III and 2/88 Main Event matches vs. Andre The Giant should be on a best list. Speaking of recently, especially vs. The Rock at WM X-8 and if you liked "garbage brawls", vs. Vince McMahon from WM XIX. I have seen very little of WCW, so I can't comment on his matches there.

Tawren 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan vs Stan Hansen, WWF vs All Japan Summit If I would have told you that Hogan would have had a better match than Bret Hart vs Mitsuhara Misawa, would you believe me? I doubt it, but he clicked with Hansen and we got a fantastic match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DVD Spree Report post Posted November 7, 2004 The IWGP rematch with Inoki was BOSS (in an 80s kinda way). I remember him busting out a spinning drop toehold, which is enough to put it up there on its own, plus it was great to see the Japanese crowd rallying against him and then going apeshit when he hit the AXABOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Some of his matches with King Kong Bundy after WM 2 were stunningly solid. His match with Harley Race in 88 that involved Race going through a table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Ray Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan/Flair - MSG 11/30/91 was much better than I thought it would be. Hogan wrestles the right match, going all-out for revenge on Flair for what happened at Survivor Series. Hogan is the right type of opponent for Flair's stooging heel act. Good match. Hogan/Hansen - AJPW 4/90 is my favorite because it's Hogan not being "Hogan." Very fun brawl with Hogan getting nasty and a surprisingly cool finishing sequence.

Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Hogan performed a spinning drop toehold?! That's more amazing than him performing an enziguri. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Shadow Behind You Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Why does his **** match with Flair at Halloween Havoc get overlooked for the lesser match at Batb 1994? Is it because the BATB match was more hyped and was the "first" on air showdown between these two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Dames 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2004 Probably because the Havoc match was hyped on the retirement stip, which ended up like every other retirement stip out there these days. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
