Hulk Hogan vs Big John Studd October 19, 1985 Puerto Rico

[cantecacara]

The WWE was invading territories.That same night WWC had a show next door with a bigger attendance.The 16" x4 ring was made by a local

[gps29070]

look around 6:42 - the ref slips... the ring was dangerously slick which I think led to the matching ending the way it did. 

[SupastarGhetto]

That ring is small like a ROH ring.

[calixa]

any reason they stopped this thing mid match? too slippery and dangerous? tiny ring in puerto rico? all of the above?

weird

[mrdsl2217]

this is a well known much the puerto rican downpour

[Derby14]

If I didn't see two absolute legends as Hogan and Studd in the ring...I would think that this was a backyard wrestling video!

[FRSFreeStateNow]

Great matchup between a couple of bulls

[1981CrueHead]

@weirdwatch I posted that comment 6 months ago. I can see what you're saying about the rain. You can't work a match in the rain. 

[EddieSPR84]

What major dissappointment for the WWE to make a crappy show in Puerto Rico no wonder they never came back until 20 years later for the New Years Revolution PPV

[deustaitan]

even capitol sports promotions had a better ring back in the day. a MUCH better ring.

[defdave]

I don't think I've ever seen this match in Puerto Rico. At least not that I can recall.

[Buckeyecat2002]

Great concept for what could have been a great match between two big and great squash wrestlers: Outside, on a hard, slick ring surface. The rain starts pouring down. Suddenly the combat ends. They get their dough and leave the 51st State. Amen, Brother. RIP Studster.

[sickandtiredofmorons]

@Buckeyecat2002 Puerto Rico is not the 51st state and never will be. You lowlife spics should be glad you're a "territory" to our White Man-ruled country.

[mercadohw]

Go fuck yourself you pink son of a bitch. You wish you could run us but you aint got the balls. Dont get it twisted motherfucker we aint fucken mexicans you white bitch.

[sickandtiredofmorons]

@mercadohw please kill yourself you illegal immigrant cunt.

[mercadohw]

@sickandtiredofmorons I GO TOO HARD FOR YOU PUNKASS EMINEMS. DONT HATE THE SWAG. PUERTO RICO IN THE BUILDING 4EVER.

[sickandtiredofmorons]

@mercadohw fuck Feminem. Fuck rap hip hop bullshit. Fuck you spics.

[donn409]

They should've called him "Small" John Toothpick instead of "Big" John Studd.

[Lasertrain]

Who put this ring together, Bob The Builder?

[ngrant33]

@Lasertrain

Naaah...Bob's would have been built right. Hell even Handy Manny would have built a better ring. Maybe it was Mr. Lopar. LOL

[jshkendra]

@Lasertrain it does look crappy.



[v1per187]

That is one small ring.

[jordanmp111]

What a boring match...

[TremendoGallo]

DUELO DE DOS T-REX

[1981CrueHead]

Big John left before his balls started showing through his tights. Hulk said, dude your balls are showing go to the back.

[grappleguy77]

@1981CrueHead I dont know abou their nuts. If they were showing it was probably because they were rubbing nuts in the ring for so long. Even straight men would get aroused after that much nut hugging. And hogan must have spent too much time on the beach. What's going on with his tan. At 6:15, it looked like Studd was bearhugging a black guy with straight blond hairs in whitie-tighties. Dont you think?

[1981CrueHead]

The ring is small for I like it. I don't usually like small rings but's not wcw small. It just mean the wrestlers have to work a close game, but there is still plenty of room. I mean honestly how much room did hogan and Studd need to work. They worked those little bear hugs and wrist locks had the fans going nuts. The ropes are right there within a few feet but there is still plenty of room. That's cause it's not HBK N Owen Hart flying across the ring.

[Bizarronumber4]

Is that Gorilla Monsoon doing the commentary?

[SolidMike84]

@Bizarronumber4

It is

[DrFubarProzak]

@Bizarronumber4 Yes it is...you fucking dumbass.

[zisoul]

Hauh! the wwf/wwe could pack that staduim like the NWA could.The is a video of

CORLOS COLONE vs RIC FLAIR from this same staduim and it's jamed packed.

[abc1000001]

I don't think they could even do a suplex in that small ring.

[muta157]

Got to love the size of the ring. If I were Studd I would have walked as well when it started raining

[LowellDevil]

The ring looks small.

[TheBestEVER4LIFE]

@LowellDevil looks like a wcw ring

[LowellDevil]

@TheBestEVER4LIFE Yeah more like a WCW Halloween Havoc 1990 style ring.

[billyvcd]

NICE WEATHER..........

[LowellDevil]

@billyvcd Notice the fans use chairs to cover themselves. LOL!

[DVROFFMAN]

Funny, there were 3 often televised bouts between these two from late 84..2 from MSG and 1 from the Meadowlands and I can't find any of them on youtube but now I see one that I never knew existed, Thanx for thepost.

[mr10tomidnight]

@DVROFFMAN 2 years ago there was a cage match between Studd and Hogan posted but those assholes had it removed on account of copyright violation.There was another match where Hogan won via closeline
