I remembered around this time when I still lived in Detroit they were promoting Sid & Flair against Hogan and Savage and billed it as the Mega Powers Reunite One Night Only.
Sid is such a bad performer, the double ax hammer to Hot Rod's Gut at 1:04 and the chair shot at 1:51 is terrible, I don't know how anybody believed this stuff. Flair by far out performs all of these guys, with out Flair it's a miserable match. I think Hogan and Piper do a combined 4 or 5 wrestling moves the whole match....?
Three legends and one goofball. The other three looked sharp while Sid couldn't even sell it well. He's in there throwning popcorn stuff, not even looking like he's trying to make a good show for the crowd! He was so sloppy in this. I guess there is a reason why he didn't last too long in the WWE.
Matches like these are the reason my parents allowed my brother and me to stay up late on Saturday Nights to watch WWF Main Event back in the day. They loved the action and storylines as much as the kids did!!
one of the handful of Hogan matches that he doesnt use his leg drop to win the match. Seen this many times. But I wonder how many house matches they had together b4 Wrestlemainia 8 anyway.
Man there is something really funny about 6:45 when Hogan gets tossed out of the ring. I don't know what it is, but he completely ignored Sid after that and suddenly looked over at Harvey. LMAO!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hogan winning with a closeline over flair = mad gay. hogan sucks as many times as we seen hogan closeline wrestlers in his match that he pins flair with this crap on this vid. so cheesy and gay and even gayer than hogan actually winning with his hemroid leg drop.
It's a shame we didn't get to see Hogan vs. Flair at WM8. That was really our last chance to see the two in their primes & with the pressure of performing on the big stage of WrestleMania & The W.W.F. When they met in WCW almost two and a half years later they didn't seem to care, and Bischoff had Hogan squash Flair every time. At WrestleMania it would have been different. It would have been magic!
i actually think that their first match in wcw at bash at the beach 94 was excellent, but after that you are right it was all politics. the flair/savage match at mania 8 was awful, and i am a savage fan but savage did not perform well, only flair did. damn i hated saying that
yeah it is really sad how they had flair lose to hogan every single time.hogan should have never beat flair for the title in one go.if they had flair cheat and just barely escape.imagine the build up for the next match.
@mikebryson nah, Hogan would have done his usual politics to beat Flair then too. He was a master of no selling anyone and being a mark. Didn't matter if it was WWF or WCW
@mikebryson Rumour was that Vince wanted Hogan to lose cleanly to Ric Flair, which was one of the reasons for the change of main event, was wierd really because Savage I wouldn't have said was one of the front runners for the title as that time
@mikebryson I basically agree with that statement. It would have been more credible and had more merit as a main event at WM than at Bash at the Beach or some b.s. ppv from WCW. They should have done it but I don't think either guy was really willing to lose to the other due to the fact that up until that time, they were considered the biggest names and the best in the world and even of all time.
Like you said tho, if they had come to a compromise, it would have been huge.
@mikebryson With a build-up starting in late 91 going into WM 8, the WWE would have made it huge simply because they were so good at story building especially for Wrestlemania plots. Ya know, before there were 20 ppvs per year. King of the Ring started the next year and then the plague of ppvs began one after the other watering down everything.
