Interesting argument, Hogan's finisher wasn't the leg drop

[Jmare007]

I always wondered if the stole the Hulk up from Lawler. I have no clue when Hogan started doing it but Lawler was doing the same spot before Hulk got to the WWF.

Yeah man, wrestling is fake.

Damn the current product sucks.

These are type of threads getting made?

i have seen this argued before and i am just now starting to come to the side of it.

most people will argue that hogan's finisher was the leg drop, and that in the grand scheme of history it is an underwhelming finishing maneuver... especially since he usually beat everyone with it. for the longest time, i agreed.

but i was wrong. the finisher isn't the leg drop, the finisher is the hulk up.

the hulk up is basically the equivalent of neo at the end of the matrix. at his lowest point he calls upon a higher power and becomes virtually unbeatable. punches have no effect on him, not even from andre the giant or king kong bundy. when hogan connects with those 3 overhand rights, they are infused with the power of hulkamania and a million hulkamaniacs. the irish whip into his size 13 boot might as well be the equivalent of going 100 miles into a cement wall. and then finally after the guy has just been pulverized into submission, hogan come crashing down with the ATOMIC leg drop... just for good measure.

Why show the Rock pic when it's one of the few times it didn't work? Lol

the power of rock's millions (and millions) were more powerful than nostalgiamania that night

Kinda off topic but does anyone remember Hogan's first match as a heel against Flair? He did the Hulk Up and the crowd was like

Good try at trying to justiy Hogan having such a weak finisher.

I can see it, but he's won with a leg drop after the hulk up was long gone too.

I think we all know Hogan's only real reliable finisher was disappointment.
