@nastymonsters2 Well, I went to AWA years ago and I was 5'9" and Mean Gene, I was surprised was pretty tall (I'd say close to 6')...>>> he was much taller than me anyway, and I was talking to him face to face, so look at the video and think about that.
@Bertminator You're wrong. Mean Gene is 5'8 (1.73m). I think you got ur own height mixed up aswell. Its surprising how people can judge wrong about heights. Hulk Hogan is 2 meter tall. If Mean Gene was 6 feet, then Hulk would indeed be nearly 8ft which is clearly not the case.
@TheMrsuperman2000 You know pro wrestling isn't real....right? Hulk Hogan wasn't a pro fighter, or had any real background in fighting. He was a performer, 100%. Bret Hart was an ACTUAL wrestler. He would kill hogan. Goldberg was a pro football player, which uses a lot of wrestling style take downs. He'd kill Hogan.
@8bboss He's not talking about a "real" fight. In the squared circle, Hogan would kill THEM. Everybody knew it was fake then but nobody knew the tricks. That "Secrets of Pro Wrestling" video ruined everything. It's like a magician giving away all his secrets...It makes the trick less magical >:(
um corection on that andrea would of killed hogan if it was real andre was so strong that he didnt knowe his own strength and if he andre didnt want to lose he wouldnt hogan was so scared of andre at mania 3 he had to call vince just to make sure that he would win
@8bboss I am going to correct you this one time only.Hulk Hogan was trained by the best Wrestling trainer of the 1970s Named Hiro Maztsuda where everyone in wrestling feared to fight in real life.2)Hulk Hogan before the red and yellow and the Vince Jr era wrestled in 6 promotions from 1976 to 1983.3)He also was trained and wrestled in Japan and in japan they use more wrestling and less theatrics then here in the US.So before you base on hogan's gimmick,know the Man Terry and his real life skills
@domamania He was trained by his two japanese trainers in the 70's in the art of "pro wrestling", which is not real wrestling. Sure he took bumps and was stretched like hell, but he still didn't obtain any real fighting skills. But if I am wrong, and he was trained to use amateur wresting or any other martial art, send me the website that shows these facts. Don't just look at his wikipedia page and blast a bunch of bullshit on here.
Everybody in the WWF at that time should've been happy with the revenue Hulk Hogan was generating. Hulkamania was runnin' wild and anyone who went against he Champ at that time became as legitimately over as a heel with the fans as possible!
First appearance for the now classic Big Eagle championship belt. Notice Hogan wearing the "Hogan" belt in the interview but comes to the ring with the Big Eagle.
The Million Dollar Man and Andre The Giant Promo is great! andre says:imma gonna squeeze and neva stop" Dibiase jus laughs! and Virgil just holds the money!
look at hogans body. he was huge !! i mean those arms are the biggest arms i have ever seen...his body looks ''plastic''. i wish i had a body like that. awesome..
@Bertminator 2-5-88. This was the first Main Event and the first time wrestling appeared on prime time network television in over 30 years. It drew a whopping 15.2 rating and over 33 million viewers. No North American match has even come close to approaching those ratings and viewers. The best RAW ever was 8.4 Almost 50% lower. Note that this match also took place on a Friday evening when everyone was going out making it more incredible. Hulk-Andre is the greatest wrestling feud ever.
I guess we lost another legend today Macho Man Randy Savage had a heart attack and his car hit a tree. Too much steroids in wrestling...that's probably why all the heart attacks? RIP Macho Man. He's now joined his former wife Elizabeth.
yea but keep in mind wrestlers like john cena , rock ,triple h and kane is what truly brought the old wrestler back to life !!!! if it wasnt for the new wrestlers the whole wreslers wont be as respected
Among greatest all time feuds...Hulk and Andre is never mentioned despite the fact it launched pro wrestling into the stratosphere. It drew the largest crowd to a wrestling match in North American history and led to the highest rated match in wrestling history drawing over 33 million viewers and a 15.2 It received top billing for WM4 and kickstarted Summerslam and the Survivor Series. It was the biggest feud of all time
Interview to ring entrance Hogan has a different belt and goes from a bandana to a headband. I always knew that some time in-between mania 3 and 4 the belt changed, nice to realize the exact moment in this You Tube clip.
@domamania Then. I mean not only has Hogan openly admitted to steroid use back then...which put him in at over 300 pounds, but he is also 25 years younger. No one in there 50-60's are going to be in their best shape.
@TVfanfanatic I like Andre too, but talented? Seriously? The guy could barely move by the time the WWE went national. For gods sake, his big boot only got up to the opponents chests.
@Piledriver86 Andre's giantism condition caused him increased physical pain as he grew older. As a result his wrestling abilities becames more and more limited. His real talent was his on camera presence and his ability to play the heel.
Does anyone else notice the belt Hogan had on during the haha backstage skit just b4 he came to the ring is NOT the winged eagle belt he is wearing when he comes out of the curtain a few seconds later!
@scallyeight The Intercontinental belt was different than the one he's wearing in the interview. Watch my "warrior vs rick rude" match, and you'll see it's different.
@Bertminator The belt that Hogan was wearing in the interview was his OLD world title. It wasn't the IC belt. In the entrance he was the NEW eagle-winged WWF title. IMO that's the WWF title!!! What a beauty :)
@scallyeight Why do people keep saying that? That's the world title belt before the Winged Eagle belt( that was first used when this match started). The belt Hogan has on is the same belt he had for years before this match. Look @ WM3
@scallyeight That belt is the "Hogan 86" title belt that he wore from late 85 until this just before this match. Why they had him wear a different belt during the match is beyond me, but this was a slightly different version of the "Winged Eagle", where the fifth plate had a WWF logo and the name "Hulk Hogan" under it. Every other version has said "Champion" under the logo.
@josephD32 The reason for that is because the interviews were taped a few weeks prior to this telecast and the Winged Eagle probably hadn't been ready or delivered from J-MAR yet.
Mr. Brian Milligan of Centerville, Indiana is the smartest man on you-tube & is a real man. He was smart enough to be a Hogan fan from the beginning and has the courage to take on you-tube scum who post inappropriate sexual comments
Yep. I notice the belt change before even reading what you wrote below the video. Wonder why he didn't wear the new one during the interview. When I seen that I was like, "WTF?"..LOL
Hogan looked SUPER WEAK as Andre placed his stamp of approval. He tried to take a swipe at DiBiase but failed. As he went down under the table after being thrown by Andre, I could not help but love how DiBiase laughed so diabolically. Hogan continued to look SUPER WEAK.
DiBiase was right about cheating on the count. Hogan got pinned by Andre at Wrestlemania III. True, his shoulder was up, but did the ref see it? I doubt it. No wonder they would have another match.
I was almost 12 years old when I watched this that night. I recorded it on the VCR. I will never forget it. This has to be one of the most(if not the most) bizarre,controversial nights in world wrestling federation history!!! The crowd was so pumped up back then. Nowadays they are literally frozen.
A good wrestler must also be a good actor. That's part of the entertainment. I think Ted was one of the best actors in wrestling ever (Hogan was average or so). Jake was also another great actor. Andre, Warrior, Sting, and most of the rest... could basically just shout loud and talk smack.
did anyone notices the two different belts used ?? don't know why... check out the one hogan has in the promo compared to the one that he wears to the ring........
Love Hulk's entrance...played the entire "Real American" theme. These were the days. My friends came to my house to watch this live on NBC Friday night and my parents ordered pizza...I swear when the match started I told my friends that it looked like Dave Hepner lost a lot of weight.
thsi was back in the day when being kids and wrestling wasn't a freaking soap opera. Hulk Hogan carried wwe and made it what it is today. Although i dont watch it anymore (to much drama not enough wrestling).
Maybe it was because I was a kid when this was going on...but it seemed like wrestling was so much bigger than it is right now. It was like they were super heroes. Ha, ha. I realize how funny that must be to read but it was just fun to watch. I miss the 1980s.
..Andre was never 7'4, Andre's real height was 6'9...Hogan was never 6'8, his real height was 6'5.

Hogan was NEVER a match for this threesome. His belt was gone as soon as these fellows showed up.

A good wrestler must also be a good actor. That's part of the entertainment. I think Ted was one of the best actors in wrestling ever (Hogan was average or so). Jake was also another great actor. Andre, Warrior, Sting, and most of the rest... could basically just shout loud and talk smack.

Love Hulk's entrance...played the entire "Real American" theme. These were the days. My friends came to my house to watch this live on NBC Friday night and my parents ordered pizza...I swear when the match started I told my friends that it looked like Dave Hepner lost a lot of weight.

thsi was back in the day when being kids and wrestling wasn't a freaking soap opera. Hulk Hogan carried wwe and made it what it is today. Although i dont watch it anymore (to much drama not enough wrestling).

Maybe it was because I was a kid when this was going on...but it seemed like wrestling was so much bigger than it is right now. It was like they were super heroes. Ha, ha. I realize how funny that must be to read but it was just fun to watch. I miss the 1980s.
