WWF Hulk Hogan vs. King Kong Bundy (w/Andre the Giant) 2/2

[calixa]

it looks like you after one of your St Pattys day binges.

classic.

[Mr14623]

is hulk gay?look at 4:11

[morelavilchezxd]

@Mr14623 jajajajajajajajajajajajjajajaj­ajajajajajajajaj Hulk hogan = pornstar jajajajajj



[Reiko993]

Finisher = Leg drop ? LOOOOL.

[TripleHHHorCMpunk]

@Reiko993 are you kidding? actomic leg drop is one of the best finishers :O

[calixa]

@Reiko993 not just a leg drop, man. ATOMIC LEG drop. hulksters leg has radiation in it and stuns his opponent. they rarely get up.

[Stereolabdream]

Jesse ventura is a highly dislikeable character...certainly, he bever quite had what it took to be a top line wrestler...and his attempt to make this seem like Olympic Judo or something was annoying even then...

[cnh2132]

That was entertaining.

[tarzan694]

clowns

[J5MARLON]

Me at my grandparents house I was seven years old when I saw this.

[trekfanful]

Great match. Thanks for uploading.

[stingerfann1981]

This is match is actually betetr then the WM2 steel cage match

[bluto312]

scariest badass ever man. he is the toughest sob in wrestling history. God rest his soul. Awesome watchin him wrestle

[19993viince]

hogan looks like his daughter here

[B3ND0G]

@19993viince

lol yeah she gots her daddy's frame

[ogrejd]

A good match ruined by a lame ending. Never could stand Hogan's "hulking up" second wind followed by a win seconds later... :/

I also miss situations like the very end with *wrestlers* coming out to break up the fight rather than the lame-ass, generic security people or ref hordes we get these days. Made the wrestlers they were trying to get apart seem that much more powerful since they could only be stopped by a bunch of other wrestlers...

[ogrejd]

A good match ruined by a lame ending. Never could stand Hogan's "hulking up" second wind followed by a win seconds later... :/

[1001virus1001]

andre the freeakshow!

[Derby14]

Was that referee ever seen again...I seem to recall him disappearing around this same time. I believe Jack Kruger may have been his name.

[trekfanful]

@Derby14 Yes that was his name. His injury here was actually legit.

[Derby14]

@trekfanful Did this end his career? I don't really remember seeing him after this...

[trekfanful]

@trekfanful I don't really know. I do know that at some point he started driving semis for WWE. Don't know if he still does. He was actually a jobber before he was a referee. I think some of his matches are on youtube. I kind of like his referee style. He would yell at the wrestlers like he was some kind of psycho or something.

[amtownsyou]

90 Degree legdrop haha

[johnissoevil]

Andre was one of the top faces for many years. That's what made his heel turn shocking, and effective. Hogan's 1996 heel turn, while shocking, had me saying "Andre had already done this on Hogan himself."

[bubbleman39]

hulk hogan honey

[Itstheburds]

my dad likes hulk hogan when he was a kid

[rshadio]

Jessy Body Venture should really come back as announcer...he was genuinely funny on the mike. him and mcmahon.....to this day is still dont get how vince mcmahon came from behind the announcer table to become this big heel...when did that change happen...

[trekfanful]

@rshadio I think it was in the aftermath of the Montreal screwjob.

[WyndenRayne]

@ 7:15 duggan ran in, and his 2x4 was supposed to break over andre's back, but failed. so instead he ditches and finally breaks in on the ring apron.

[MIKETX76]

7:27-7:29 I bet that was a lawsuit

[donn409]

When Hogan invited Andre into the ring after the match Andre looked like he was sayin, Are you f*cking kidding me?

[fuskmen1]

AYY BIG MOMA! Its Hogans tittle! MOTHER F**KER!

[abc1000001]

I think Bundy kicked him a bit low by accident at 4:01.

[NJPlayer79]

"Don't you tell me that, it looks like you after one of your St. Patty's Day binges..." LOL

[theboombody]

The face of a champion. Ha ha. Jesse the Body was great.

[azariah15]

This brings back so many memeories. How time flies.

[rlouie05]

This wouldn't work with Big Show, as Andre's only clean loss in the WWF was to Hogan up until this point, whereas Show has turned face/heel too many times plus lost too many important matches.

[theboombody]

@rlouie05 Show jobs on a dime.

[abc1000001]

One of the few good highlights that the WWF had. This actually created a lot of excitement. Good ending.

[ThatsABiggon]

lol. did hogan mouth "S.O.B" at 3:53

[tarzan694]

stupid and pathetic clowns

[ThePhenomm]

Something just came to me as I'm watching this i was only 12 at the time but I had to be 1 of the biggest Hulkamaniacs back then. I take everything back about John Cena and the little kids because this is his time and all the kids love him. LOL sorry Cena but I still can't stand you

[religionisfree]

Hulk Hogan raped me

[cle17930]

I love Ventura! The best announcer ever, nobody now can even come close to him.

[azariah15]

@cle17930 You got that right.

[1NME007]

Bundy got screwed twice in this match. Andre heard Hogan quit, but the stupid, imcompetent ref didn't hear it. Then, Bundy has Hogan pinned from 3:37-3:45! This would've propelled Bundymania into greatness and all the Bundymaniacs would've come out of the woodworks!

[reba062002]

3:50 what a slow count

[mightydesign]

Damn that was a fun match to watch. SNME was so was the only time other than PPV that you saw top WWF stars fight other top WWF stars. Andre weakend the 2x4 so much after getting hit that it breaks the first time Hacksaw hits the ring with it outside. Or was it suppose to break on Andre?

[doggyboy803]

Go Andre!

[snakethemack]

@ 2:14 I don't see Hulkamania running wild. What I see is Bundymania running wild

[Osbournefan123]

wish wrestling was like this today.. love andre

[damron13]

I missed this episode of SNME at the time because my lesbo girlfriend wanted to watch G.L.O.W. instead. LOL

[Holden308]

One of the last times that Andre was portrayed as an almost invincible giant.

[at1212b]

@Holden308 So true.. he became very comical afterwards, and lost that mystique.

Just a bit over a year later, Hacksaw who would have gotten squashed here, gave the Giant trouble.

[Righter99]

This is the most memorable moment in wwf

[mr10tomidnight]

I got a kick out of seeing Hogan rubbing his balls in Bundy's face when he was pinning him.TAKE THAT BUNDYMANIA! Jessie screaming "NO!" and then Andre "running" into the ring and then choking him down WHILE THEY WERE PLAYING HOGAN'S SONG! I loved how Andre fought off Strike Force,British Bulldogs,JunkYard Dog,Jake Roberts.Duggan's 2x4 did nothing but make him mad.This was the last time I saw Andre be Andre.

[theboombody]

"As far as I'm concerned that's the champion of the world right there." Jesse the Body was hilarious.

[DickWadDickus]

I want someone to post the end credits to this episode of SNME. Remember when they aired Phil Collins Take Me Home during those credits and you can see Hogan being helped to the back. .

[CDP76]

My dad made me miss this match because he wanted to watch some stupid ass "STAR TREK". Douchebag.....................­...

[XMIR10C]

2x4 across my head - no effect

[XMIR10C]

AMAZING - Andre decimates everyone - including Hacksaw

[XMIR10C]

dUGAN WWITHA 2X4

[XMIR10C]

bUNDY WAS SUMO

[XMIR10C]

kING kONG HAD THE LOWEST CENTER OF GRAVITY OF ALL WRESTLERS

[mongoose704]

Hulk and Andre.

No feud did for wrestling what those two did.

[RottenRroses]

Those Wrestlers are like characters of the A-Team series. They can beat each other up all day long without bruising.

[xpander2k]

Looking at this again I think to some comments Hogan made about Andre The Giant in the documentary "The UnREAL Story Of Professional Wrestling". He said that if Andre had been a mean person there would have been no one in this business but him.

Look at just how absolutely helpless and small a 6'7" 300 pound man looks in his grasp I have to agree. Andre The Giant was just a phenom to behold. Lucky for Hogan Andre was a nice person.

[mongoose704]

@xpander2k

Basically: If Andre didn't want you to pin him, you DIDN'T pin him. Patera, who was one of the most legit strongmen ever, flat out stated that Andre had the most raw untapped potential strength of any man he had ever met and if he had applied himself, all weightlifting records would have been broken.

[xpander2k]

@mongoose704 : Yup. Vince McMahon pretty much said the same thing in that documentary. Hogan weighed better than 300 pounds and yet Andre tossed him around like a toy. Like we used to do with those Wrestling Buddies back in the day.

[1980Triumph]

"like two sacks of garbage to the floor McMahon"

[twsstar]

hogan and bundy were great against each other

[stndrds79]

I remember al of this and watching these matches! people who werent around to see this, such a shame!

[ObeeLektro]

Man those were good old times. Whether fake or not, Those guys new how to sway the crowds with the spokesman like Jessy Body Venture. Those were the golden days of American Entertainment. Miss them whole lot.

[oldschool6804]

it isn't fake you're wrong!

[chuckmanofgod]

@ObeeLektro, yeah, I like the time when Hulk Hogan started Hulking up, lol. I would like to see someone in real life do that during a fight, lol. It is sure fun to watch.

[ObeeLektro]

I agree, and even thou I know that this is fake in a sense that they are not fighting for real but rather as visual and effective stunts to trigger our emotional responses. This is still very dangerous sport and this people do get hurt sometimes very seriously. There was a movie about life of a wrestlers. Its very sad how much they suffer physically afterward and how their family and friends suffer along the way. Especially the ones that are on the bottom not the top of the game. Cheers

[mongoose704]

@ObeeLektro

It was no more fake than it is today.

[Lights77]

@ObeeLektro i agree those were the golden years. Jessy was then man on commentary and the wrestlers knew how to work the crowd.

[opencurtin]

Im sure Bundy was delighted when Hogan sticks his cock into his mouth for the 3 count.

[jaibenhour]

the only fun with this is when they are getting hurt by accident..

[oldschool6804]

the injuries aren't all accidents you are an ignorant person physicality is very real!

[Jespinator]

ah gross, hogan is fucking bundy's head at 4:11 xD

[GranFury440]

King Kong Bundy looks like a mini Big Show.

[M1dDaF1nGa]

o god look at the winning pin big bundys head

[snoopyX619]

i'm sorry to say it but hulk hogan just can't wrestle

[JPThunder01]

I remember watching this when I was 5, being genuinely scared for Hogan's life when Andre was choking him out lol

[at1212b]

@JPThunder01 I swear, I couldn't sleep for weeks!

And literally thought Andre took the title, and that no man could take it away from him.

[JPThunder01]

@at1212b ah the good old days.. you couldn't sleep for weeks because the next episode of Saturday Night's Main Event wasn't for months lol.. nowadays you got Raw every week.. the buildup back then was off the hook.. waiting weeks and months until the next ppv to see what would happen next

[at1212b]

@JPThunder01 heh, exactly! And they wouldn't mention it on tv or show any clips for weeks sometime.

And also, not only wasn't it not on for months, you had no idea when it was on! Every Sat night here, at the end of the 7pm broadcast, Billy Red Lyons would sign off at the end credits, and once in a blue moon, would say 'And stay tuned for SNME'. I (I'm sure many others) can still feel the exitement of it to this day!

Now, its just way, way too predictable, going through the motions.

[walka112]

@at1212b LMFAO it was the same here in Ireland, you never ever knew when there'd be a Saturday Night's Main Event, for me it was when you saw it in the tv listings, cause the WWF would never advertise it beforehand. Then the highlight of my childhood was attending SNME in Worceter Mass in July 89. They just don't cut the mustard nowadays.

[rshadio]

@JPThunder01 hahaaah me to...i was scared for hogan...laso remember how bundy broke hogans ribbs after bundy did 5 bundy splashes..hahaah ill never forget that

[drewthomp]

@rshadio at the VeteransMemorialcoliseum in Phoenix Arizona...I remembertoo:)

[terminat1]

They made Andre in this segment appear 10x stronger than usual.

How can Hogan beat him in a singles match, when 7 wrestlers plus a 2x4 don't even faze him?

[Theproof12]

lol ventura is great

[KenaiAndrews]

Vince and Jesse's commentary enhanced this match tremendously. This is how a match like this should be called.

[supanova80000]

Skullfuck at 4:12...

[NewsMan580]

HA!! I noticed that too. Poor Bundy. Didnt make any effort to kick out though...

[damron13]

Jan. 2, 1988

[fjccommish]

Andre could barely stand. In retrospect it's ridiculous to believe he could hurt anyone.

[kingnek]

all I can see is Bundymania running wild. haha, "The Body" always cracks me up

[JoshLucas5]

I wish they would bring back Saturday Night's Main Event.

[Edgehead10075]

They did, but its ratings were horrible.

[jtrujillo575]

late 80's wwf wrestling is the best

[nagaslrac]

Just like the NBA. For me anyway.

Better characters imo

[SteveTheBull]

absolutely!

[manhattan9144]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH geberdim yok böyle bişey amk

[sevenyearsago1]

i hate andre

[MrFrenchHeritage]

Even though Hulk ang Bundy are obviously power-based brawlers, this match almost had a scientific element to it. Very hard fought, a good effort by both athletes. I didn't like seeing Andre as a heel, but he made a good manager this night. And even though I was and am a Hulk fan, I was impressed with how Andre choked him out. Had to root for a fellow French guy! Lol, at what Andre did to the Bulldogs and Hacksaw's board breaking! SNME was the best!

[josephD32]

This match had good psychology. It built up Hogan, only to bring him and the crowd down, built him up again, and brought the crowd down again with the break to assist the official. Bundy took over, only for Hogan to prevail. Plus the order of moves made sense, with Bundy spending a lot of time working on the arm, then later with repeated Avalanches and a Splash.

[shaxs999]

Hulkster was lucky not to get seriously hurt there, thank goodness the fan favourites came to the rescue.

[99virgo]

HAHAHA!!! Gay ass Hogan face f@cks Bundy at the end!! HAHAHA!!!

[all028]

LOL! I remember watching this. At 7:28, Hacksaw breaks his 2 by 4 and it goes into the crowd. I'm sure that was not planned....

[philosophyphilosophy]

everything in wwe is planned man...

[lilbabyface0000]

andrea the gaint is a fuckin bitch!

[nelsonian237]

damn andres badass

[KHLB516]

Hahaha he said it looks like you after one of your St Paddys day binges

[meanmaddness]

Andre looked like he was dressed up to be a mob boss on the sopranos.

[Ghalion99]

so i take it you knew andre, his family and his life personally. Cause anyone saying the things you did must have been to know him that well

[twsstar]

great match

[Ghalion99]

that is where you are wrong, Andre mjay be gone, b ut his legacie will live on forever and will never me dead. Hulk Hogan...well i must have been the only kid who didnt like him

[scoresby33]

Andre was overrated! He just had genetics to be a tall fat guy. He was a freak in terms of his look and statue. A freak and I don't mean that in a good way. Everyone in the WWF kisses his ass. He couldn't wrestle and acted like a retard. He was also a horrible father and neglected his daughter. He was a scumbag piece of garbage! And a BIG PIECE at that.

[PerfectPudding]

didn't havea daughter noob.

[thebigmusclerex]

Andre is DEAD.....but HULKAMANIA will live forever

[tlp26atx]

how does someone 7'4, 550lbs sneak up on you??

[BigBenIsTheSavior]

I miss Jesse the Body. That guy was funny as hell to listen to.

[KenaiAndrews]

Jesse with the 'BundyMania' comment. Classic , lol.

[natureboy84]

There was also another match I used to love watching with Hogan vs. Bundy. In fact, it was the same scenario. Andre was at ringside but only with Heenan as well. I used to tape all these matches on VHS and watch them like 9 times a day. lol. What a great school student I was. :)

[trishstratuscanada]

HULK HOGAN FOREVER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bretw2]

Muy buena pelea... Hogan es una leyenda de la lucha libre; y, la mayoría de los luchadores que aparecen en este video, también...

[dxrulz4life]

Isn't it funny how Hogan's theme is playing even as Andre is choking him out?!

[mr10tomidnight]

Yes,I loved seeing Andre"running into the ring" It was the most funniest interaction with Andre and Hulk Hogan.This is the last time I ever saw Andre the Giant as the indestructable dominate force he once was.

[JMFabianoRPL]

That made it even more surreal to a then-11 year old...

[dxrulz4life]

This idiot's gonna call Andre in the ring?! LOL typical Jesse Ventura.

[madawg70]

7:28 -- Duggan nailed the ring apron with his 2x4, and the top part of it nearly wiped out half a dozen spectators.

[SheriffTankStoner]

it was at this point that I began to hate Andre for no-selling. They should've brought Akiro Maeda in on this. But 3 years later he got my respect back when he made Bobby tredge through the bucket of grapes. That clip I wanna see.

[JMFabianoRPL]

Andre was ANDRE, he was supposed to no-sell! It's the little nuances like invincible giants than need superhuman efforts to floor that I miss. Among other things!

[JMFabianoRPL]

The end of this scared me when I was a kid :-)

[ryanbrandy08]

Me too. I remember this well. I was just a tiny Hulkamaniac back then. 6 years old.

[cbaldwinjr]

Definitely. Yeah, when you're 8...and Hulk Hogan is your hero...seeing him choked out by Andre the Giant...not cool lol

[Tomasz88Pol]

fake shit

[BigMo562]

it says this led to wrestlemania IV, thats not it. The one that leads to wrestlemania IV is when Andre beats Hogan (because of the ref being paid off and used a fast count). After the match Andre then says he's giving/handing the belt to The Million Dollar Man. Then thats what leads to the tournament at Wrestlemania IV.

[xpander2k]

Well this was part of the storyline that led to Wrestlemania IV. Hogan in fact bascially challenge Andre to a rematch at the end of this one when he laid the belt down and dared Andre to come and take it. The Andre OWNING of Hogan moments later set up the February 5th rematch you spoke of, which was the cause of the WWF title tournament in the first place. So it's all connected.

[MJAY4000]

Man i havent seen this since i was a kid when andre was choking hulk man i freaked man i miss wwf wrestling not that damn wwe entertainment

[keithjfro]

Fucking pussy Duggan high tailed it outta there! Hahahahahahaha

[glennprince3]

it looks like you after one of your saint patty's day binges---classic ventura!

[thisisshane90]

lol i reckon
