I actually believe this ....everyone was shocked at the reaction Hogan got including the announcers and the wrestlers...

is this one really that hard to believe?

He's undoubtedly twisting some facts ("You want me to fix this?" Like Rock was a rookie that didn't know how to adjust based on crowd reaction.) but I've always heard Coke Boy & Associates were legitimately surprised at the reaction Hulk got and the match was altered on the fly.

JR was still trying to undersell him though. Saying the crowd was marking out over nostalgia and saying in reference to Hulk stuff like "a man at his stage in his career". Ol' face.

Just watched the match on YouTube last night. Still one of my favorite WM matches & moments.

@ wanting to do that with Bret

Hogan with more of his tall tales I see.

Regardless of who lead who, carried who...

Maybe the greatest Wrestlemania match of all time, shame it didn't go on last.

Read this and tell me he there ain't a few bricks missing from his building.

Fighting Spirit Magazine has published the second part of their interview with Hulk Hogan in their latest issue. During the interview, Hogan discussed Sting and how he tried to get Vince McMahon to sign him after WrestleMania III.
"I have unbelievable respect for Sting - he doesn't realise how good he really is," Hogan told FSM. "Sting should have already had his New York (WWE) run. I'll tell you something; when I got red-hot after WrestleMania III, I was begging Vince to get Sting in the WWF so I could turn heel at some point. He had the blond hair, he was 10 times more athletic than me, and I believed this guy could have the same run as Hulkamania, but take it 10 times bigger. I was telling Vince (McMahon), 'Let me get this guy over', because after beating Andre, if they'd brought Sting in and had him beat me, it would have made him this tall (gestures with his hand above his head).

"But Sting wouldn't come; we tried and tried, but he just would not jump. Vince even talked to him last year, but still Sting wouldn't go."

The six-page interview with Hulk Hogan is in Issue 91 of FSM, available this Thursday from WH Smiths and Easons in the UK and Ireland, and for iPhone/iPad and Android via FightingSpiritMagazine.co.uk.

If memory serves Sting didn't get red hot until that match in '88 against Flair right? :duckhogan:

sting was already on the come-up during that time tho. he didnt say that sting was a made-man yet.

Yeah, there was that one thread where bleachereport ranked all Mania main events and they actually considered Jericho-HHH to be the main event from X-8
