WWF - 1986 Year in Review - part 1

[jethyy]

1986, basically: Hogan squashes everyone. Funny how he faced the likes of Bundy and Savage back then as well, and later on they were huge money matches. People forget easily

[Tim4706]

This when wrestling was wrestling no garbage no drama. superstarsof wrestling on saturdays going to the hamburg field house to see andre the giant and hulk hogan and roddy piper in the early days of there careers the 80s were the greatest for wrestling

[Humiliated4Life]

Ghadaffi-mania still runnin wild

[Shelver92]

Johnny V is dressed as one of Catwomans henchmen from the Batman tv show

[CMTotally]

Before yellow and red were his colors...love it

[keithlam1]

well done!!

[TheItalodancers]

Hulk Hogan the authentic klown

[MikeyMoves2]

7:14 Classic, Classic, Classic

[shadowfene]

You dumb niggers are talking about nukes and politics... on a 1986 WWF video?

[Daemonocracy]

Freakin beautiful video, I love the unabashed patriotism in it too that makes stuck up college professors and journalists roll their eyes. I Love how Hogan desecrated the Soviet Flag in the ring, probably too politically incorrect for today and I love the harleys, cowboys sheer bravado of it all. Wrestling sucks today because it is losing it's southern roots, get back to the South

[gymrat29]

@Daemonocracy Wrestling today is too interested in "entertainment" and having actors and crap in it. There are no jobbers so matches are "special" anymore and they give too much of what happens behind the scenes up. That was the biggest mistake that idiot Vince did! It's like showiong how all the magic tricks are done before you watch the magician...you have no interest as it's not spectacular anymore!

[spyguybuy]

@Daemonocracy:

yes.with pics of american wars :-/

you start wars,kill people all over the world and you love it.fuck you!

[Daemonocracy]

@spyguybuy Name one country that has liberated more people than the USA. that's right, you can't, because you sissies sit around and talk all day then come crying to us at the first sign of trouble. Funny thing is, you are so insecure with your inadequacy as men, that you hate yourselves for needing us so much.

[spyguybuy]

@Daemonocracy:

you call it liberated.the rest of the world call it occupy.

and now a question for you.

name me one country that started more wars as the usa do?

search in google for your wars.

but i dont hate you.i only hate if you say ,everything you do is so great.

in every war we got today,you can find the usa.

[Daemonocracy]

@spyguybuy What wars did we start? The American Revolution, we actually avoided taking up arms until it was no longer possible. The American civil War? The south fired the first shot and secession is illegal. Spanish American War? Yes, we liberated Cuba and drove Spain out of the Americas. WW1? WW2? Are you upset the Germans lost? Vietnam? The French got involved in Vietnam first, to combat the spread of Soviet/Chinese backed communism, we joined them and stuck around longer.

[Daemonocracy]

@spyguybuy Noriega in Panama? He was a menace and leader of a Drug cartel, good riddance. Operation Desert Storm? Hussein invaded Kuwait for their oil with plans to move on to Saudi Arabia, we put a stop to it. Kosovo? We prevented Genocide. Somalia? We were there to prevent genocide. Afghanistan? Al Qaeda attacked us (NOT the first time), the Taliban gave them refuge, we invaded. Iraq? Well if you're upset Saddam is gone, too bad for you America is NOT perfect, but we have a lot to be proud of.

[spyguybuy]

@Daemonocracy.

hussein....whats with him?i only know what (american) tv say,about him.

where are that nuclear weapons he got??i think he want attack the world with that weapons?

america start wars with lies.

nordkorea bad,russia bad,china bad,iran bad,thats what america say.

but hey...they dont start wars.

nordkorea NEVER start one single war.but they are the baddest?

dont believe everything you government say to you.they start wars to rule the world.

but one day is paybacktime.

[Daemonocracy]

@spyguybuy You are driven by ignorance, no surprise. Iran funds suicide bombers in Israel, as did Hussein. Iran kidnapped American diplomats during the Carter administration and houses enemies of America and brutalizes their own citizens, but I guess that's your kind of government. Russia invaded Afghanistan, occupied Eastern Europe, delivered Nukes to Cuba, Occupies Chechnya and recently invaded Georgia. North Korea would invade South Korea, USA stops them. China - Tibet, Taiwan (we protect)

[suspekt29]

I snagged this a while back from a wrestling forum. This was the first year I watched wrestling religiously. I miss these days so much. Old school Wrestling Challenge, Superstars of Wrestling, All American Wrestling, Prime Time, SNME, Wrestling Spotlight. What a great year to be a fan. I can't stomach it anymore.

[mijheldrummer]

wwf wwe 4 life!!!!

[TheMadStork83]

Ah! That opening theme of this song was the opening song on the WrestleMania game for NES when the match would start. I always wondered where that song came from.

[Dankidus]

That was when Hulk was capable of more than 4 matches in 1 year

[maccafan1974]

Never knew Hogan faced Beefcake before.

[suspekt29]

@maccafan1974 Yeah, occasionally Hogan did fight people who weren't top contenders for his time.

[keithyw]

i'll admit i was a hogan fan back in '85 when i first started watching wrestling. but by the time '86 rolled around, it turned out that i liked all the heels far better. mostly because hogan's act got stale fast and the heels were far more fun (piper, heenan, orndorf, ventura, muraco, etc.) not to mention i discovered a little promotion called the NWA :p

[gymrat29]

@keithyw I was a big Hogan fan back then too but was more of a fan of Orndorff due to his build. Hogan wasn't stale for me for a long time mainly because you hardly saw him on T.V. Mainly on SNME and sometimes local shows in Toronto. They didn't overuse a heavyweight champion on television so the champion seemed "special".

[keithyw]

@gymrat29 true. it was rare seeing Hogan on TV. i remember my first SNME and how i was freaking out because they had Studd/Bundy vs Andre/Hogan. huge dream match back then. i loved Orndorff's turn when it happened. i remember how he invited Bundy/Studd into the ring to take care of Hogan. good times :)

[eecchiaro]

La sigla è stata mantenuta pure da italia 1 ai tempi! che ricordi col mitico Dan Peterson

[jeremy6238100]

in the hogan vs orndorff clip around the 3:00 mark, the result looks a lot like the match they had in toronto, aka the big event

[kinderstoten]

@jeremy6238100 Well, both wrestlers do work with eachother behind the scenes, going over and practicing maneuver after maneuver with eachother, to see if it works and if the crowd buys it. So, I'm pretty sure some of the same moves were used in the other match.

[vampirehunterme]

ah the old days

[richmwill]

In New York, this was the first WWF TV show to air on Fox (then WNYW, if I remember correctly) Channel 5, after years of the WWF being seen on WWOR Channel 9. I remember turning the channel dial on my TV and being shocked to see WrestleMania 2 highlights (as seen later in this episode) on my TV and on Channel 5.

[ianhitman]

lol i love how hulk hogan (even as a superhero good guy) wasnt above attacking someone from behind

[KillingJoke696]

like that 80s heavy bass theme

[wndebu]

I liked how Hulk cheated but he was still a good guy.

[keithyw]

@wndebu Hogan, from what I remember, was originally a rule breaker. i think only in Japan when he was facing guys like Inoki, you'd see him wrestle more pure scientific based wrestling. in the states, i think his style varied very little but people just dug his gimmick of hulking up and his interviews/patriotic stance.

[rememberingthedream]

this is the year I bought M.U.S.C.L.E.

[sharpendskull]

Im so sick of running into comments from u little faggots on how wrestling is fake. WE KNOW ITS FAKE. And a wrestling fan loves it reguardless...Just like how your favorite movie and TV show is fake too...So why do u keep watching it over and over again...its just a move, acting, ITS FAKE..Now fuck off.

[jetfan7]

WWF 1985 -1991 was the best. I miss it so much.

[ggj777]

videos like this creeped me out cause i was too young when they came out. Now to watch this is very interesting.....the Hogan package is so lame it makes me laugh

[PDizzo]

There is no one bigger than Hulk Hogan in wrestling. He is the goat.

[JAMES197513]

shut up cuz you no nothing all you know is john cena and cryme tyme so keep yo mouth shut and enjoy

[supahip]

Wow I still have this on VHS. ha.

[mrjiveyjr]

2:08 what a cheap shot artist Hogan was. He was dirty.

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

Cena sucks and always will suck. Wrestling before today's crap was much better back in the day. Fucking uneducated marks.

[habstick2]

Cmon this video suck big time 1986 is not only about hogan in wrestling lol the guy only having clothesline-bodyslam-bigboot and legdrop even Cena is better than Hulk on the ring.

Hogan having 4moves

Cena having 5moves

The best of best of all time in wrestling world was Ric Flair wooooooo even in 1986 Flair was biiiig.

[at1212b]

youtube watch?v=xpLIxmwXLk0

I dare you to watch this in its entirety and count the moves that you've never seen, and ones that Cena would not know how to do whatsoever.

Let's see if Flair can even have a match like that.

I darrrre, double dare, triple dare you to comment on that match. (plus, look at his other Japanese matches).

[pineappleboy1]

dude don't worry about it. it's all fake.

[at1212b]

yea its fake, but the insinuation is Hulk can't even fake wrestle.. which he can.

Fake that BiaaaaaaTCCH!!

[pineappleboy1]

anyone can fake wrestle. why? because its FAKE.

[at1212b]

Ahhh, mon Friend... that is what I had said to the initial comment.. and you should respond to the original comment with that same view point... Thanks for agreeing with me!!

My Frieeeend!!!

[hcvang]

@pineappleboy1 anyone can fake wrestle? really, huh? I'd like to see how well you'd do in the ring.

I'm sure you'd get hurt bad or hurt someone bad, seeing as how you havent got a fucking clue what you're talking about.

Anyone can shoot their mouth off on the internet.

[sharpendskull]

@pineappleboy1 So is ur favorite move "Brokeback Mountain", but u watch it over and over again.

[pineappleboy1]

it's fake. relax.

[Djteedoe420]

this is awesome 1986 the year in review.

[wrestlebash82]

awesome

[Qualipus]

so, even when he was "good" Hogan still had heel tendencies.

[josephD32]

Nice... a Titantron video before there were Titantron videos... or a Titantron, for that matter.

[diamondstudd]

This is the first time im seeing any wrestling from '86 and i can say that wrestling was a spectacle back then, now its just something that happens. You never hear crowd responses like that anymore.

[gchav002]

4:27 WTF did Randy Poffo simply fell into the legdrop??

[Silver6ix]

Poffo got tripped up by someone standing by the ring. It must've been a Lumberjack Match.

[gemni686]

fuckin sick video, I am just in heaven watching this

[sharath4u2003]

hulk hogan was great

[tico8007]

Vince looks like that imbecil Terry Mcauffe in this video

[yostanker]

wwf 80's wrestling was the best. It will never be the same.

[JAMES197513]

you r right

[newbase99]

at 1:37, Orndorff braced himself with his right leg for the clothesline -- you could tell from that he was going to clobber Hogan

[dghours1]

Wow, Hulk looks like he's hepped up on goofballs or something in that Ordorff match

[propagandagroup]

Now if I could only remember which country Hulk Hogan was from..

[Germany1111]

I think he's from the US, but it could be Canada, IDK...

[BHoz77]

Ha, I love how Savage no-sold the big boot!

[JeffTheFutureJaros]

Awesome stuff here.

[Sage80]

dang. where do you get all these awesome videos? must have an enviable library.

[ggazoo]

That first Hogan-Orndorff match was booked in the exact same fashion as the Big Event in Toronto

[deuce1231]

I noticed that too. They were only a day apart.

[07dunn]

my best year of wwf 86

[cbaldwinjr]

Hogan/Orndorff was a great feud

[damron13]

Could someone please post entire "Saturday Night's Main Even" from Cleveland, originally aired October 4, 1986. Thanks.

[HBK344356]

a buddy of mine got that whole episode of SNME taped off....

[Falkowski82]

add more of these man.

JON

[pricean]

I want this on DVD- WWF from 1985 to 1993 was AWSOME

[dsd310580]

Absolutly! WWF/WWE 1984-1992, 1994, 1996 & 1998-2004. The best years ever!

[VinceThePinch]

God, I really wanted to see Hogan do a piledriver

[iwanttoseemrshow]

Ha, I did too! You know he can bust one out, at any time, but damn Heenan for stopping it!

[bjjartist]

why it wouldve been ugly. We all know hogan cant actually wrestle worth a shit its just that no one realized that until his era was over. Hell John Cena may as well be billed as Hulk Hogan 2 b/c wwe is using him just like they did hogan and their in-ring skill is the same ZERO.
