Hulk Hogan's Entrance In Tokyo Dome (2003-10-13)

[aeternusbellum]

este intento de luchador fue al tokio dome?? creí que la lucha libre de japón solo llevaba buenos y verdaderos luchadores no payasos

[cdavid05]

Hollywood Hogan rocked!!!!!

[hank7216]

Hated when Hogan had Jimmy Hart managing him

[SuperROLLTECH]

@Kaldemvor, didn't he start wearing them when he was running for "president" during NWO days?

[SuperROLLTECH]

The tokyo dome has awesome production effects

[MantonioBanderas]

10 people don't know what the Axe Bomber is.

[kaldemvor]

I can't figure out why Hogan started wearing the boas. Even he can only look so tough with boas on.

[MERCER12OLI]

WE COMING FOR YOU BROTHER

[mets52398]

Who's Chono? O_o

[specterkev]

@mets52398 Chono was once a memeber of the nWo

[mets52398]

@specterkev oh lol

[cinderblok]

@mets52398 Masa Hiro Chono asked the same question about you.

[msaoichan]

Chono and Hogan in the same ring. Damn, that's a lot of concentrated awesomeness right there.

[mattcasdorph]

You know that tells you how big he is if he can get cheers out of Japanese fans, the Japanese are usually quiet no matter what happens.

[mmmikeyxx]

love or hate him he is the man.

[EthanTheTruth]

Yep WWE is shit now Summerslam was awful it was only good because Big Kev got CM Punk, Im with Impact Wrestling all the way :)

[ZaleraExdeath]

@EthanTheTruth Summerslam was great , if you watch the match between Daniel Bryan and Wade Barret you'll see that WWE can still produce pure technically amazing wrestling

[xanderdude123]

Hulk Hogans mustache reminds me of the McDonalds logo!!

[keimeira]

Look at how boss Chono looks at 0:50 - 0:54, 1:55 - 2:14 like "you coming into MY jungle" xD epic atmosphere between 2 legends formerly of nWo. And the reception from this crowd just shows absolute appreciation. This has got be bigger than the last several WrestleManias at least ^^

[sortedevaras]

If the classic Hogan theme is not playing its not as cool . . .

[iDeathCA]

The irony of an true american in a Japan stadium.....

[21richkid]

Unfortunate that Macho Man Randy Savage died, but he and Hogan would reform the Mega Powers tag team in NJPW. That would been great.

[selfhighfive]

Watching matches from the Tokyo Dome is awesome. It's almost got a better atmosphere than most Wrestlemanias

[garyowenrocks]

@selfhighfive the crowds are dead though it`s like attending to a funeral

[Noviz1zivoN]

@garyowenrocks The crowds in Japan are a lot different than in America... they are more reserved than the american audience; it doesn't mean they aren't loving it though.

[JackFlanders]

I think I remember this, the prices were extreme! Maybe USD 200-300 for a good seat.

[ipwnu5566]

Was this wcw or something

[FCT5809]

@ipwnu5566 New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2003 before Hogan's match with Masahiro Chono. WCW went bust in 2001.

[mikesheldon1]

i appreciate the fact that he came to the ring with Jimmy Hart, one of the greatest managers of all time.

[goldturd]

Hogan's presence plus Japan's production values equal one hell of an entrance!

[GCA999]

taba joven ahi

[Staalstraal]

I don't watch wrestling too much these days but i still get the goosebumps from Hulks' entrance !

[eslubin]

too bad hogan couldn't live up to the standard he set in the mid 80s

[SubBlaze1]

@eslubin

he was old now and actually looking for alternative role in his appearance, like that in american gladiator

[eslubin]

@SubBlaze1 you're so right. I attribute that to him as a man fundamentally not knowing who he is.

[xMoJox]

Shirt rip fail for hogan lolz.

[eslubin]

@xMoJox lol

[pumpdaddythe1st]

1:42 , looks like he forgot that he had his mr america brace on his knee lol

[rjbonacolta]

That's a cool set.

[TheSVROverLord]

WHAT?!

[moelarry3]

What shirt was hogan wearing? Anybody know?

[MrJibaku]

@moelarry3 一番 It means, "Number 1"

[SpartanSniper3]

In the time it took for Hogan enter the ring, every Japanese woman in that dome had orgasmed at least twice.

[thegoodemon]

Masahiro Chono's Yakuza kick would knock Hogan out of his boots

[fallensword32]

@thegoodemon bruce l33 would just look at those japanese faggots

[sairamsridharaa]

Voodoo chile !!!! \m/

[theGting]

he should come with this theme in TNA if his allowed to

[Mega01ism]

@theGting I don't think TNA could afford royalties on this Hendrix tune, I could be wrong though.

[WWEGameFan]

After this, Hogan was suppose to sign with NWA-TNA to do a fued with Jeff Jarrett but do to medical problems, he was unable to sign and waited 5 more years and signed with TNA.

[jarcar202]

who was that guy he fought?? did he win??

[nexivdr]

japanese tables ... japanese shirts ... dont fuck with japanese products ... at least in wrestling ....

[MohamedMNasser]

I like his entrance theme he comes out with in this one. Where do you find it here on youtube?

[TheVampireEd]

@MohamedMNasser It's called Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix

[spearstrike211]

Hulk Hogan can't wrestle.

Chono should have stiffed his way through this match, and taught Hogan a lesson.

[frednichols]

@spearstrike211 Yea chono should have stiffed him lol shut up

[sortedevaras]

Holy shit Jimmy Hart is still alive?!

[BreakingImageFilms]

i cant help but laugh when hogan never full rips his shirt lmao

[religionisfree]

Hulk Hogan raped me

[Amazingjourney20]

At least back 7 years ago, hogan could still work a wrestling match

[TheMadStork83]

Wow, this is epic. Tokyo Dome is awesome. Good to see that the Japanese respect and cherrish wrestling for what it is.

[SpicySpecials]

which hendrix song is this

[AJwalker99]

@SpicySpecials voodoo child

[Finedotwrx]

@SpicySpecials

Voodoo Chile

[BreakingImageFilms]

@SpicySpecials voodoo child

[wwemusicfanC]

Mothafuckin' Hendrix! His song actually made Hogan's entrance epic.

[MrRainbowbridge1]

was hogan with TNA? when he Appeared here?

[supervince679]

woah looks like hogan had a lil difficulty tearin his shirt der

[hazzadogss]

I thought he was with wwe at this time on smackdown? He's wearing all his wwe gear, this was the year he vsd vince at wm, so maybe after that finished so was he, correct me if im wrong

[topdinero]

@hazzadogss he when to tna but he didn't last so he when back to wwe..

[smudgeVIW]

@topdinero yeah he never appeared on camera on a TNA show. think Jimmy hart just talked about him

[Suriel1981]

@smudgeVIW Yeah, Jimmy Hart managed to get a job with TNA just to talk about Hulk Hogan! Gotta love the retardedness of that company.

[wrestletube1]

@Suriel1981 Thats is probably the truth too since the Wolfpac Instrumental is used.

[ballinonabudget]

when did hogan wrestle for new japan?

[smudgeVIW]

He wrestled there in the early 80s before WWE

[ballinonabudget]

@smudgeVIW i meant when did that particular match happen

[wwehardyboyz123]

wow wow wow jiimi hendrix rules i never said one bad thing about him but the theme dosent fit hulk hogan

[Heltz21]

lol at 0:30 Hulk Hogan had trouble putting on his sunglasses :P

[wwehardyboyz123]

gay theme

[RoyPurchase]

you mean you are gay! Jimmy Hendrix is a guitar legend!!! you can't even play air guitar

[TehQuestion75]

@PRESSM0LD2

[ChristianEdge93]

Haha Do u thinks so?

[Sachez112687]

Hulk won with maybe the weakest lariat ever in this match

[wherethepowerlies]

Hulkmania rules 4 ever!

[jaxcob2013]

tna suck s donkey dick

[CharismaticEnigma88]

Hogan sucks

[gbpack09]

so why isnt hulk using voodoo chile in TNA? damn.

[bjchit]

Same reason he stopped using it in the WWE. The Hendrix family demanded they stop using it.

[ChristianEdge93]

Hogan is going to single handlig end TNA for ever!!!

[RonaldJoseCarlos]

You're retarded...

[ChristianEdge93]

Fuck You

[SkorpBX]

the wrestling God returns... bring back the NWO!!!

[HipnosisV1Games]

Jan 4 2009 BABY!!

Scott Hall and Hulk Hogan is coming BACK to TNA!!

[DeanMalenko]

they should make a dvd... "The rise and fall and rise and fall and rise and fall..... of Hulk Hogan and Scott Hall"

[Kenny42581]

wayne huntley

[bobolob]

I just don't like how he is wearing the yellow and red and coming out to Jimmy as opposed to something more good guy Hogan.

[jonjon535353]

Well see the thing is, imagine him coming out in the Tokyo Dome to American Made or Real American, he'd get alot of heat from the crowd over tht.

[bobolob]

@jonjon535353 I agree. But still there are

ton more "good guy" songs to choose from.

His gimmick is "America," though, so if they

watched him in the US they certainly would

have no reason to complain.

[bjchit]

He has. And they cheered for him till the roof nearly came off.

[STK0Y0]

TNA! are you ready to feel the power of hulkamania

[hulkhogandotcom]

right now im rocking in australia but on january i make my impact debut and brotha its going to be an IMPACT! to remember!!!!! dont miss it!

[brannengarrett]

@STK0Y0 and then make TNA worse than it was before he even signed that deal? hell yeah! if you want any company to be ruined, Hulkster is the man to do it! ;)

[superdrew79]

@brannengarrett I am not a fan of Hogan being in TNA either and for awhile it was getting bad after he got there. But over the last 6 weeks TNAs weekly ratings for impact and Reaction have went up each week This past weeks Impact was their highest ever on Thursday nights with a 1.4 which is almost 2 million viewers That night reaction did a .73 In comparison Smackdown the next night only did a 1.6, very low for that show TNA has been gaining new ground with what they have been doing lately

[frednichols]

@brannengarrett So stupid

[RAV52]

@brannengarrett Yeah, the guy who popularized modern wrestling is bad for business... STFU dumbass!!

[masternate61]

@STK0Y0 yea it sucked

[Wang0Phat]

@STK0Y0 Yeah, I think they want a refund.

[FireFightWrestling]

@STK0Y0 YES! OH GOD YES! OH, Never mind he fucked up Tna too

[Sainter]

Bring on Promotion War v2?

[GamingPalooza]

RIP WWE*

[campKILLer]

@GamingPalooza Good one.

[THES3XYMAN101]

@GamingPalooza RIP, WWF

[ZOMB13]

That would be awesome, maybe some sort of mega wrestling show (WWE, New Japan, All Japan, NOAH)

If only....

[liberate29]

Is it me, or the japanese crowd really doesn't appretiate Hulk Hogan?

If they don't I'm proud of them

[bjchit]

They call him Iciban or something like that, which means Number One in English. So yes, they do appretiate him.

[liberate29]

If that's the case, then fuck the japanese crowd and its Puro.

They have Puro and they still cheer for a garbage wrestler like Hulk Hogan, what the fuck!!!!!!!

Thanks for the clarification, by the way

[bjchit]

Fuck them just cause they cheer for one guy you don't like? And Hogan is anything but garbage.

[liberate29]

Come on:

Even if you are a fan of him you gotta admit that he is probably the most overrated wrestler in history.

His ring skills are shameful, his mic skills are borderline comedic and his look is probably the least apealling factor he has. On top of that he needs to be the asshole backstage that refuses to put people over him and will do pretty much anything to keep hogging the spotlight.

If the japanese crowds are so proud of their Puro, they should at least be able to boo him

[bjchit]

More like Triple H. Or even John Cena. At least Hogan made wrestling cool. You should watch some of his early Japanese matches if you want to see his ring work. And if people wat to see ring skills so badly, I don't get why they just don't watch the Big Ten Network. They were meant to be that way. And yet it's iconic. He actually put many, many people over.

[liberate29]

More like Triple H, Batista and Kevin Nash.

Hogan might have put some people over, but he is best know for having a huge fucked-ego that refuses to put people over.

The same kind of fucked-up ego that helped kill WCW, the same kind of ego that buried Booker T and RVD, the same kind of ego that bullies companies into giving them titles just out of the blue.

It that really the kind of guy you want to cheer for?

[bjchit]

Did you see some of the shit they were doing on WCW? That can't be blamed on one man. And how the hell did he bury RVD? He never even wrestled in the same company as Hogan until 2003. And most of the guys meant to succesed him couldn't handle it, so they go back to what was working before. I'd rather cheer for him then say, Chris Beniot.

[liberate29]

Bringing up Benoit is a bit of a stretch to make a point.

And with Booker T and RVD I meant Triple H's ego.

If you want someone to cheer for, cheer for The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels: Great in-ring abilities, great looks, great gimmicks, great mic-skills, and are not above putting someone else over.

Even in defeat their opponents end up loooking 100 times better.

Did that ever happen with Hogan, HHH, Nash or Batista?

[bjchit]

Why? I'd rather cheer for a guy who may or may not have held people down, then say a killer. Hell, I've seen people compare Hogan to facist dictators like Mussilini and Hussen. Oh, why didn't you say so? I do. I just like Hogan more. At least when he was still fairly mobile. Hey, so did several of the guys Hogan lost to. Lesnar, The Rock, Yokonusa, Taker. I'd have to say yes. Remeber their matches against HBK, Bret Hart, Steve Austin, Rock, ect.

[liberate29]

Wow:

Even if he did run WCW like a dictator, comparing a wrestler to a genocidal maniac is a huge stretch. You should have bitchslapped whoever did said that.

I guess it all comes down to personal taste. I'm just saying people should evaluate who they're cheering for. A talented guy that helps out younger guys, or an untalented asshole who buries other wrestlers.

Pick your poison I guess

[bjchit]

I would've, but I was talking to them in the same way as I to you. If he wasn't talented, he wouldn't have lasted this long. And like I said, he helped push several guys, especially in his older days.

[junklock]

Was his box office draw overrated? Vince and Turner probably don't think so.

[liberate29]

John Cena and Batista, that's my response

[hulkhogandotcom]

think about this! ric flair busts me open and its all over the papers the follolling day!!even in japan and the uk!! tell me when cena was cut open at bragging rights did it make the papers?

[butoden]

His mic skills are good, he have a good match with inoki that shows his wrestling skills, check my profile. :p Hogan goes TNA

[buck2239]

Wow thanks for sharing. Never seen this!

[Raphealrayge]

AMERICA ROCKS!!!

[irelandguy]

um.?

[kswdragon74]

lmao!!!

[bjchit]

I wish that the Hulk Hogan Ultimate Anthology had some of his Japanese matches. Hell at least some more of his work outside of the WWE.

[brtshstel]

yes but you have to realize Hogan MADE the WWF the dominating company in wrestling. before Hulkamania in the 80s, wrestling was all regional promotions like the old NWA was. Vince Jr. used Hogan to transform Vince Sr's regional territory with Bob Backlund (a freestyle wrestler) into the international, larger-than-life powerhouse. Plus, the WWF made Hogan the icon he is today. Its only natural that the anthology would have mostly WWE and some WCW stuff.

[bjchit]

I do. In fact I wish some of these IWC yahoo's would realize that too, and at the same time get over their love affair with Chris Benoit. I just still wish they showed some of his more wrestling sound matches, which would also show just how beloved world wide he is. I am glad they showed his XWF match, it was nice seeing him and Curt Henning go at it one last time.

[GanJahsmoke]

correction VINCE MADE HOGAN....No question, without Vince's marketing, promotion and ruthless strategy, there would be no *DEFINITIVE* HULKAMANIA...maybe a seasonal hype in Minnesota, that would've definitely died off around 87-88 tops....Verne Gagne couldn't manage the WWF....

[Besherk]

he is probobly better than you

[sxdx20000]

the leader of the U.S. nWo vs the leader of nWo Japan :)

[markmarkmark13]

hulk hogan and jimmy hart where in tna??!!
