Also hated how at WrestleMania when Macho Man wrestled Hogan, they had Macho running away scared of Hogan the whole time. And when Macho wrestled the Warrior at WrestleMania, they had Warrior no sell five straight elbow drops from the top turnbuckle. childplease: But that was on the rewatches when i was an adult, and realized how they no sold The Macho GOAT.
I just watched these with the network free preview. Hogan is such a weasel. Everything about him is heel shyt. Eye pokes, back rakes, choking with his shirt, whining, no accountability, hotdogging, grandstanding, having lust in his eyes and black heart for another man's wife.
After SummerSlam 88 they win, Savage immediately celebrates with the crowd but Hogan goes to Elizabeth instead.
In order
The subtle and long-term storytelling
Seeing it all in hindsight is amazing. Even when the mega powers form Hogan mentions how they're fighting for the same girl. It's amazing. Hogan being a piece of shyt character adds to the entertainment somewhat but when he ends up winning in the end
When he beats Undertaker for the title he pours out the urn on the floor and grabs a handful of ashes that he throws in Taker's face
Weren't those ashes supposed to be of Undertaker's parents. a$$hole move.
Then at Rumble 92 Hogan throws a tantrum after Sid eliminates him (Hogan did it to Savage who was his partner AND friend a few years ago). So Hogan pulls Sid's arm from the outside and gets him eliminated, helping Flair win. Flair had been talking shyt and attacking Hogan for months. He costed Hogan the title by placing a chair under his head for Undertaker's tombstone. And Flair helped Jack Tunney see Hogan throw the ashes in Undertaker's face which ultimately got the title vacated.
As for the Ultimate Warrior. The elbow drops were overkill but I think Savage came up with that because the angle at the end with Elizabeth was stronger than anything that could happen with a match. It was incredible.
It was too many elbows for sure, but he put Warrior over huge. Even the foot on the chest pin was Savage's idea.
