this was the best monday nitro ever and wat gotten me into wresteling. i think rey vs dean malenko was in the same night. but never mind that, rick told hogan that he didnt have two friends, he got one friend...Wooo
Yeah, early early NWO was such a trip. They hadn't established the whole angle, or even their characters yet. I remember being glued to Nitro at this time because the whole dynamic was so new and different. That first Nitro I couldn't wait to see Hogan come out just to do a promo, because him being a heel was a real freak-out. Was glued to this Clash too, waiting to see how Hogan would wrestle as a heel. It was also funny to see Flair as the babyface (though he was still a heel). Good times
LOL at Hogan hulking up when he was supposed to be a heel, and the terrible ending...but it was cool seeing the Horsemen run off the nWo. They were the original gang, before gangs were cool...the nWo were just a pack of thugs with spray paint.
I'm completely confused here, even as a face, I can understand Flair using dirty tactics, but Hogan getting cheered and hulking up? I guess Hogan's popularity transcends his allegiance.
@rlouie05 Technically, Flair was a heel still. Of course, the whole NWO invasion de facto turned everyone in WCW face. Though I always thought it weird - even in my mark days - that courageous babyfaces would instantly turn into snivelling cowardly heels once they turned, I think it was better that they dropped the Hulk-Up routine from heel Hogan's repertoire.
cool to see a heel flair with girls vs a heel hogan with no girls...makes you really want to see hogan fuck flair up...that's why fans were probably chanting HOGAN!then Razor and Deisel hit the ring...4 Horsemen ain't shit...nWo is fucking awesome here
i mean.... why cant flair just give up his life and jump from a building while shooting him self 500 times with a ak47 glued with a m4a1,bazooka,m60 and sniper rifles!
Sucks when Flair got too old to do the apron glide move right (like here). When he would play face, in his prime, that would have ended in him scaling the top buckle with amazing speed and dropping a big thump or cross body.
Yes,Watts took over after Herd. I wouldn't say Watts did a GREAT job,I'd say he did a GOOD job; Watts pushed his son too hard. Eric Watts defeating Arn Anderson= JOKE!
nice fight but .... on 0:48, that kinda seemed too fake, he was going slow and he speed up right before getting to the corner, i dont get it, but nice fight anyway!
You're right,1990 was a bad year for WCW. An incompetent named Jim Herd was running the company. He came up with such forgettable characters as Big Josh(who used to bring a bear to the ring) & The Ding-Dongs(don't ask!) He hated Flair & tried to change his character(he wanted Flair to cut his hair,get an earring & carry a sword & shield to the ring!) However,Flair's Bash PPV match against Sting was great. Hogan vs Warrior was probably Hogan's best match,Warriors too, & that's not saying much!
That match sucked.Hogan wouldn't ever make Flair look good even when Hogan was the heel. Hogan isn't in Flair's league when it comes to making someone else go over.
things like that always made wrestling seem more realistic to me when everything flows like liquid all the time is when it starts to look fake. clumsy and stiffness adds realism like a real fight would have.
wow flair sucks, he cant fight nice and noble like hulk hogan! what an assface, had to get his buddies to show off again, huh? well, it is just unflair to put flair in a match ever again, what a cheater!
Flair sucks? Wrong! Hogan sucks. Hulk Hogan is the MOST OVERRATED wrestler in history. Hogan couldn't lace Flair's boots! RIC FLAIR IS THE GREATEST WRESTLER OF ALL TIME(Michaels,Race & Angle are also in that category)even Vince would admit that(privately). I guess you are a new fan,so I will cut you some slack. Watch "The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection" DVD.Watch his matches against Steamboat & you will see GREAT wrestling. Not the sub-par,sports-entertainment of Hogan.
Flari is just jealous that Hogan Michales Race and Angle put on some better matches then he did. And he's DEFIFIENTLY angry with hogan, because he was so OVERRATED, and put butts in the seat. But what a minute hogan is overrated but you forgotten the likes of Crock and Rustin. They were overrated as well. YOU must be the new fan, you need to watch some of the Crock's and Rustins etrances and match them with hogans. Because either you're deaf or stupidly blind.
@tonshaad1230 Who said anything about Rock & Austin?Yeah,they are overrated & Hogan hates them because they can act better than he can. Hogan has five moves(punch,elbow,bodyslam,big boot & leg drop)Hogan has NEVER put on a better match than Flair.
LOL hogan put on one of the all time great matches even if the guy was badly injuried. The Rock and Austin can act better? LOL take away Austin's theme song, ECW, Bad words, middle fingers, and you have a guy who looks like he works in construction! The Rock, all you need to do for him is take away his if you smell, his eyebrow, *the rock says*, know your role, and he's nothing but a failed attempt of being made a good guy. Hogan > Austin, Rock.
Austin had only moves : Lou Thesz Press and the Stunner.
Rock had flashy moves which was shit but still he had more then Austin: Rock bottom, people's elbow, Rock's clothesline. Hogan has put on better matches then Flair's 60+ ironman like matches that are shit.
@flairfan101 lol overrated? Well I love Hulk Hogan I think hes awesome, and he entertains the hell out of me! Funny enough, I think thats what his job is LOL
@HGeneAnthony Early NWO (as in July-Aug 1996) was a bizarre time with people not sure who was heel and face, heels teaming with faces, and Hogan as a heel which no one had seen (remember this is before YouTube and DVDs) unless they saw Hogan back in 1980 in WWF or in Japan. In addition to the one time only Hulk-Up here, this was one of the first times Hogan missed the leg drop (Warrior aside), though it would be come a regular occurrence. That alone freaked me out.

Ever notice how much more technical Hogan is when he is a heel? (besides his visits to Japan, of course).

probably because the heel actually has to do moves whereas the face just gets beat up the whole time.
