Hulk Hogan vs Brock Lesnar - Smackdown 2002

[Alexander The Great]

He didn't, after he went face shyt got corny real quick and he was getting those CDQ chants heavy



Yeah and I don't blame him, wasting Austin/Brock on a random RAW match with zero buildup is some classic trash Bischoff WCW booking

all the shyt they talk about wcw but they made and make some of those very same mistakes

He was getting crazy crowd reactions even in 03 and 05 too

Had he stayed in a full time run on Smackdown I'd agree but I saw those Raws and Smackdowns he was on.
Never underestimate the CaC love for him

Hoegan losing CLEAN isn't some bullshyt you just get over with with no buildup

Well actually I think this was exactly what pissed off stone cold .they wanted him to do the same shyt on raw. This i guess just made lesnar look more of a threat to rock for summerslam tho. Especially since they just main evented mania

Thank you for sharing this, I haven't watched the actual match in a long time.

Good match. Brock comes out lookin like a trillion bucks. A legit dangerous psycho with the strength, endurance and skill to back it up.

That huge powerbomb from the corner was great.

You get Hulk Hogan to do a job for you WHENEVER you get the chance. Hogan and The Rock were gonna be gone for months, and with Hogan you cannot be sure if he's even coming back, and if he is, if he's putting someone over, or if he'll just pull what he did with HBK at Summerslam. In the case of Hogan, you use him for what you can when you have him, you cannot trust him with any sort of long term plan. Remember, this run of his ended with him quitting in the middle of the Mr. America run.

I legit believed Hogan went he said he wasn't Mr.America

I kept going on the internet and trying to find out who it was .

 

[Spyro]

was just randomly watching this match. it made me miss matches like this. no "great" moves, just ring psychology, working the crowd, and 2 big motherfukkers throwing blows

Yeah but it's not Sami Zayn diving over the ropes or flipping around the ring doing big spot after big spot so it ain't any good

Vince McMahon would like to meet you.

Nostalgia

There is tons of shyt that is nostalgic for many people but that doesnt mean it should be acceptable

The non nwo hogan is easily the cheesiest fukking character in history.

How did that shyt fly in 2002?

NWO Hogan was lame after about a year and a half, or so. After that it was overkill. So his heel character became lame for a long time and by 2002, people were welcome to a red/yellow return.

And the WM 18 match vs Rock show that.

It was a break from the multiple nwo variations of bollea, plus nostalgia sells

 

[Mantis Toboggan M.D.]

WWE had an embarrassment of talent during this time period.

And wasted most of it

Wasn't that a money dispute?
