While kind of sad to see a former proud performer reduced to job duty, it gave them a job, a public image, and their legacy gave them a kind of credibility lacking in a "Hard Work" Bobby Walker or a Mike Tolbert. So even though they always lost, the victor looked like he was SOMETHING for taking those guys out.jabronivillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-21444722287650720582015-06-17T04:58:21.308-06:002015-06-17T04:58:21.308-06:00"The referee just saved Harlem Heat's liv..."The referee just saved Harlem Heat's lives tonight" when he threw out a match with the FoF may be the greatest line in any review, ever.jabronivillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-180036387645633552015-06-17T04:57:41.839-06:002015-06-17T04:57:41.839-06:00Hah, now I want to see some old rants to find stuf...Hah, now I want to see some old rants to find stuff like that.<br /><br />I've had people upvote and reply to posts I've made years ago, too.

All the rapid-cuts, the screen fuzzing out, etc. Even knowing it was an angle, it just looks so crazy and cool at the time.<br /><br />I always loved how much Hyatte enjoyed Nash ripping Luger's squatting or benching numbers, because Gym Guys like Lex LIVE for that kind of stuff, and it would legitimately piss them off.<br /><br />And yeah, the Lawn Dart is one of the first Wrestling Internet Memes.

The point of Hollywood Hogan is that he's a delusional megalomaniac who's staving off his own obsolescence by tying himself to the Outsiders and trying to recapture his glory. His rambling, self-centered jabbering was part of that. Even when he's delusionally making faux gang signs with Dennis Rodman or referring to himself as "Wood" later on, it all works to just make you wanna see Sting hit that guy in the face with a baseball bat or Goldberg spear him out of his boots.<br /><br />Is it all intentional? Probably not. Hogan really is delusional. But that doesn't mean the character wasn't effective.GodEatGodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-42488627492487772902015-06-17T02:25:36.532-06:002015-06-17T02:25:36.532-06:00This is the one where Duggan said, "Hulk, you...This is the one where Duggan said, "Hulk, you're a great technical wrestler" right?<br /><br />He's right; technically, Hulk *is* a wrestler....Justin Henrynoreply@blogger.com
