Darth Vader Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Is that the same one from Wraestlemania 8 they show right before the match? The one where Sid shoves a bunch of papers into his mouth when his doesn't get #1 contender. That always cracked me up.

Scroby Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Wrestlemania 8 press conference to pick #1 contender for the WWF title ok, I'm a bit lost. Why was Hogan annouced as the challanger but later it became Macho instead?
therealworldschampion Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 Is that the same one from Wraestlemania 8 they show right before the match? The one where Sid shoves a bunch of papers into his mouth when his doesn't get #1 contender. That always cracked me up. Yeah, it's all there. Sid's paper tear, Flair in the sweater, Sid's hilarious promo afterwards... Wrestlemania 8 press conference to pick #1 contender for the WWF title ok, I'm a bit lost. Why was Hogan annouced as the challanger but later it became Macho instead? I believe Hogan was contemplating retirement or something, so they went with Savage instead.
Hawk 34 Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 The storyline, as I remembered was that Hogan requested a match with Sid instead because of his actions at SNME and that Hogan decided that it would be his farewell match. Savage, was named the de-facto #1 contender, to which Flair decided to play mind games and started the "Liz was mine, before she was yours" angle.
CanadianChris Posted April 10, 2006 Report Posted April 10, 2006 I thought Macho's promo was funnier. "I wish it was me, "Macho Man" Randy Savage, yeah...I like me, yeah." Him kissing up to Hogan was funny in retrospect, too.
Ed Wood Caulfield Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 The storyline, as I remembered was that Hogan requested a match with Sid instead because of his actions at SNME and that Hogan decided that it would be his farewell match. I don't think Hogan actually *said* it would be his farewell match. He just said there was a big possibilty it would be. During the introduction for WrestleMania VIII, Vince saids, "And The Immortal Hulk Hogan battles Sid Justice in what COULD BE Hogan's last match!"
haws bah gawd Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 So whats the story with this guy? I've never heard of him before, but hes up there with Jack Evans in the "Gravity be Damned" department. I'm impressed, even though hes just busting out the same spots over and over.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 11, 2006 Report Posted April 11, 2006 Why did Hogan actually leave? Was it to do a movie, or was it somehow related to the steroid stuff going on at the time?
spman Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 Why did Hogan actually leave? Was it to do a movie, or was it somehow related to the steroid stuff going on at the time? It was a combination of both I believe. Clearly WWE was shifting away from the big muscled guys for the time being, and focusing their attention more on the less muscular guys like Bret, Shawn, Piper, Flair, Savage, Yokozuna, etc. While guys like Hogan, Sid, Bulldog, Warrior, etc. were quickly either swepped under the rug or shown the door until the steroid investigation was over.
Guest NYankees Posted April 12, 2006 Report Posted April 12, 2006 I think I remember an interview between Vince and Hogan where they talked about a potential retirement. To think it was 1992 makes it even more funny. While watching Hogan Knows Best the other night, Hogan admits to staying in the sport too long.

Jebus Posted April 15, 2006 Report Posted April 15, 2006 Rudo, have you seen Beef and Excalibur's Cage Of (Life) Death promo? I remember it being on YouTube somewhere, I'll try and find it soon. Awesome stuff. Oh yeah. Absolutely hilarious stuff. Beefs desire to wrestle a bear is great. "That's good because I am afraid of both cages and of death" That reminds me...it's such a shame that, for legal reasons, the IWS can't release some of their 2004 events yet because Beef vs. Bear was a comedy match for the ages...a "bear hug" never received such a huge pop!

Team Angle Pusher Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Jericho ruled in WCW. He was funny in WWE as well but in WCW he was at his best.
Cuban Linx Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 Whatever happened to the Jerichoholic Ninja anyway, am i forgetting something or did he just disappear one day?
River City Rocker Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 The storyline, as I remembered was that Hogan requested a match with Sid instead because of his actions at SNME and that Hogan decided that it would be his farewell match. IIRC, they also mentioned something about Sid accusing Jack Tunney of "favortism" towards Hogan, which they forgot about after SNME.
Darth Vader Posted April 17, 2006 Report Posted April 17, 2006 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eLPfHni0Zw&search=souffle Goldusty vs. Bradshaw. The promo before the match is gold.
