@landrykkb Yeah, I think it was his monstrous physique and his funny ass faces he makes to try and look mean...and hed always scream like a caveman for his promos :D lol
@mahalaps3 I cared enough to share another point of view, but that's about it. I just had the spare time to spill my thoughts. As far as being a jerk, I was just being blunt. You seemed to mean well by what you said, there's just a lot of people that pop up saying things like "Pssh I hated it before it was cool to hate it." as if it helps validate their opinion somehow. The remarks weren't toward you, they were toward the impression it gives to others when you say that. That's just me though.
I remember this... I was like, what the hell just happened, Hercules isn't acting hurt at all. If someone were to do that now, the surely would be reprimanded.
@JamalTheTitan you are partially right, wrestlers were expected to lose on their way out, not be humiliated and lose their mystique. Vince tried to make wrestlers less of a draw this way. Remember this was still kayfabe times even though the WWF was letting the world into the secrets, which I believe they shouldn't of, at this time.
This was the time when the WWF tried to oversell us with guys by hurting the guys that were on their way out of WWF. Vince did this to all the guys back in the day so they wouldn't be as much of a draw when they would reappear in say WCW, WCCW, WWC or even smaller indepenents. This is how Vince ruined careers of wrestlers.
...On a side note, I was "anti-Cena" before it was "cool". Didn't like him as a heel and don't like him now. I've never been one to express my opinion on him but I've noticed an uproar in the past few weeks about the "haters" being a bandwagon of nerds trying to be cool. I see where this is going. Next month it will be "cool" to like Cena. You guys go ahead and load up the next bandwagon, it'll only prove that if they cram a stale product down your throat long enough, you will start to enjoy it.
@mahalaps3 There's plenty of people who feel just the same way you do about Cena, with me being one of them. That said, nobody really cares, it just makes you sound insecure when you feel the need to announce it. Not saying you are, just seems that way. There will always be idiots whose opinions change daily according to the headlines and what WWE wants them to think, they're the ones buying this bullshit and they are the majority. Sometimes it's best to ignore the sheep and move on.
@miserabliss Nobody really cares, yet you cared enough to read and reply to a comment that's over a month old. While I'm happy you feel the same as I do on the subject, I do feel your condescending remarks about me being insecure makes you sound like a jerk. Not saying you are, just seems that way. Sometimes, if you don't have something nice to say...
Herc was in the WWF for 7 years at this point and was jobbed out. Actually he already knew at this point that WCW would pick him soon up as "Super Invader". Anyway very unprofessional since he couldve returned to the WWF a few years later but they never signed him again
I can't blame Herc for no-selling to that over rated jackass. I'm glad he's not in WWE today. Although, now we have to deal with foul criminal immigrant beaners like mysterio.
It was his last televised match, so he was just all 'fuck it' at this point. Didn't really affect Sid's heat anyway. If it was Lanny Poffo or somebody like that, heads would roll.
@MrPeptoAbysmal It's not a fad. It's just fucking boring. That's what I mean by old. I came hear to watch Hercules Hernandez vs Sid, not people crying because they don't like whomever to top face at this juncture is.
It's never a 1% though. Whenever I go to shows it's half and half. Kids and ladies cheering Cena, and wispy neckbearded virgins booing him as loud as possible to be cool. Both as bad as each other really.
All joking aside. This is these guy's jobs. You know i loved hercules ( god rest his soul ) and i thought he was way underrated but so were alot of guys. Truth is hercules should of left wwf when he found out power and glory was going nowhere. But there is contract's in the way ect and the fact that wwf at the time was the money machine. There was only one world championship belt at the time and for vince to make it seem like there was only one champion he had hogan whip all there ass's.
They burried him before this......By teaming him up w/ Mr. Charisma Paul Roma...He still had his Power and Glory tights on.. This was when Roma was the new Horseman...oooopppsss..Roma helped kill something else...or was the Gorseman already a joke by this time...didn't need to check..they were...
Bullshit to bury Hercules in a squash like that. F'n Sid always wanted a squash with everybody. Vince either shoulda booked his ass another jabronie or let Hercules have some spots.
@aimsuxdoggydills Ok. But the whole point is to build Sid up for Hogan at WM8, and do it against an established guy like Hercules. Herc was on his way out, and Sid had just arrived. It's good business sense!!!!
@VisionofOrion - You forgot about one of the biggest NWA/WCW to WWF screwjobs - Ronnie Garvin! From NWA World Chamion to REFEREE(!) in under two years - amazing!
@MrJon76 You forget he went even lower from REFEREE to being in PRELIMINARY SQUASH MATCHES on WWF Superstars I'd see him with some scrawny no-name in speedos as a tag team partner.He wasn't given any tv time at all.U wouldn't see him in interviews or him talking about his next match with his opponent-Nothing! sad ending for a guy who still had so much to give.
I understand the frustration of being let go, but this was just flat out unprofessional on the part of Hercules. No reason to burn a bridge like this.
@Zodi77 : It was unprofessional both ways. A guy with the talent of a Hercules Hernandez had no business being in a squash match PERIOD. I don't care what anyone says. He was wrong for not selling to Sid, and the WWF was wrong for putting him in the spot to being with. If you are gonna let him go that's fine. That's business. Having him go out as a 3rd rate jobber was just uncalled for.
@D2Kprime It didn't matter much. This was 1992, not 1987. Hercules was a lower midcard guy. Even in his prime he wasn't a draw or a great worker. There are many guys who were much more talented than Hercules that had no problems doing squash matches, like Honky Tonk for Warrior, Backland for Nash, Hennig for RVD, Tatanka for Borga. Duggan for Yokozuna, or the entire WCW roster for Goldberg.
Herc didn't wanna do business, then Id say thats pretty damn unprofessional.
@StuUngar : I repeat, it was unprofessional on BOTH sides. Two wrongs don't make a right. Sid didn't need a squash to get over. He was already over. The 1992 Royal Rumble Sid got louder cheers than Hulk Hogan did. So loud that those cheers had to be edited out. May I remind you that Hercules jobbed and put over the Warrior BEFORE Honky Tonk did. While in his PRIME. With the exception of Hennig all those guys you mentioned were still gainfully employed afterwards and not on their way out.
@wogacelli Would you be able to identify the matches specifically? I would like to see them. I've seen Brusier Brody no sell Lex Lugar in a cage match that was pretty bad...but no more blatant than this. Herc did the business a diservice in this match.
If anyone remembers this was right when Hercules contract was about to expire and he already made plans to move to WCW to become the "Super Invader"
In classic WWF fashion, they wanted Herc to do a "thanks for the memories" squash match. Herc agreed to the match but didnt put didnt put Sid over at all.
Im sure they could hear Vince in the third row, chewing out Herc for the performance.
hercules later on in the card in the main event competed in a 20 man battle royal thrown out by sid justice's wrestlemania VIII opponent non other than the hulkster himself
@stone85 Yeah, and in that match he didn't last very long -- and it almost looked like Hogan had "orders" to just pick him up and get him out of there.
@phREaker419 Yeah...You can kinda tell Herc was like "Lets just get it over with"...I saw Buff Bagwell do the same thing when Vince Russo was booking for WCW...Buff actually laid down and yelled at the camera "Is this good for you Russo? Is This what you want?"
People may like to keep in mind also that Sid Justice actually did the similar no-sell to Hogan at Wrestlemania 8 since he was fed up with Vince and was about to leave the company. Vince promised these guys their greatest desires and like a crooked banker who shows you a new bag of cash, you open the bag and its nothing but Monopoly money, and Vince is the only guy who is allowed to use it. He owns the board, the pieces, gives and takes away.
@phREaker419 Actually what happened was Papa Shango was supposed to run in and break up the pinfall attempt by Hogan after the legdrop, but Shango was late and Sid had to kick out.
@phREaker419 Vince rarely delivers on his promises.On the other hand,we hardly ever get Vince's side of the story to any of these claims of promises by his former talent.
@AllWordsPassMargin Well after that he went to WCW as the Super Invader, i think you can find one or two match of him under that gimmick on Youtube, one of them is a 8 man tag team match featuring Jake Roberts and Sting.
that has to be the most disgusting thing ive ever seen a wrestler do. you can tell on the look on sid's face there where going to be at least words in the locker room if not some fists. Man even shawn michaels has done a squash match. yes he didnt want to and was told very wisely by the undertaker to just go to the ring and do his job. the is a show of disrespect to wrestling, the company he was working for, other wrestlers and worse the fans
I don't blame Herc for protecting himself! After all, it was Sid Vicious powerbombing him! Sid doesn't give powerbombs, he gives botcherbombs! That's not to say that I don't like Sid...however.
Never liked either of them. Although when Herc was with Roma they had a great finisher. Somehow I look at this & think Herc was just trying to prove a point. Sid was Sh!t in the ring. He got by on his size. Crappy mic skills, crappy wrestler.
i read some interview with herc's daughter after he died. she said that by this stage he was just completely fed up in the wwf so didnt care. later on in this show he participated in a battle royal and that was the last of him
I believe this was one of Herc's final matches (maybe even THE final singles match - he was in the battle royal later on this card) in the WWF. He had a deal with WCW and apparently phoned in several of his final matches with the WWF. He was gone very soon after this (he was one of *many* veteran guys who disappeared between Rumble '92 and WM8).
That's probably the best wrestling match I've seen Sid perform. When Hercules started being a schmuck, he just outsmarted Hercules and ended it quick. Hercules is lucky that Sid didn't just drop him on his head.
Wow, I can see that! He didn't even sell the power bomb, he got right up if you look again. I wonder if it was a personal thing, because for the most part, once Herc became a face - he was a jobber.
@stinkoman78 I THINK he had given his notice when he was asked to be squashed by Sid. This was sort of him giving McMahon the finger if I'm not mistaken.
I don't think I saw him again, I bet he got fired for refusing to sell the powerbomb to Sid Justice or anything. Sid Justice didn't think twice about it in the moment but he probably was mouthed off by Hercules being told he wasn't going to sell anything.
Nope. How many times did SD Jones have to job to hacks like Hercules? SD was a much bigger name at one point, didn't stop him from doing what he had to do. Why wouldn't Herc job here? His hair was going grey by this point anyway. I retract nothing-still elated to know he is dead.
So so so evil...not that I am criticizing you for that, it's definitely your opinion and no one should take that from you. But that is so so evil..lol! sweeneysister you won't be offended, if I tell you that I am distracted by my own flatulence, and yes you are right it was an injustice that Herc didn't go down to the Cocoa Butt, SD Jones was tons more entertaining than Hercules was IMO!
@MackCockstack I totally agree. Herc worked for the WWF loyally for years. Screwing him over on his last televised match was just the way Vince operated. He always had power trips and love to stick it to people who he thought deserved it.
You could see it in the way he treated alot of ex NWA/WCW stars that came to him in the late '80s early '90s. Red Roster for one and Dusty's :"American Dream"schtick was another.
@VisionofOrion In the cases of Terry Taylor (Red Rooster) and Dusty, getting saddled with those gimmicks was, according to Jake Roberts, Vince's way of telling them that 'nose up the ass doesn't work up here. And Dusty was causing trouble in the locker room during the last few months he was with the WWF telling people like Rick Martel, Honky Tonk Man and Koko B. Ware 'When I go back to Ted Turner and WCW, give me a call and you got a job with me.'
@MackCockstack I agree with the 100 percent but it's HIS organization and he felt that he could stick it to whoever he wanted to. It's been said with great validity that when Vince McMahon loses his faith in you, it's time to start hitting the want ads.
Hercules should be inducted in HOF just for this...

that has to be the most disgusting thing ive ever seen a wrestler do. you can tell on the look on sid's face there where going to be at least words in the locker room if not some fists. Man even shawn michaels has done a squash match. yes he didnt want to and was told very wisely by the undertaker to just go to the ring and do his job. the is a show of disrespect to wrestling, the company he was working for, other wrestlers and worse the fans

By the time of this match wrestling wasn't the same as it used to be. In the old days Hercules would've racked Psyco Squid and made him cry uncle.

I don't blame Herc for protecting himself! After all, it was Sid Vicious powerbombing him! Sid doesn't give powerbombs, he gives botcherbombs! That's not to say that I don't like Sid...however.

lmao!! herc, make sure ur in a comfortable position before the power bomb!
stndrds79 1 year ago
Never liked either of them. Although when Herc was with Roma they had a great finisher. Somehow I look at this & think Herc was just trying to prove a point. Sid was Sh!t in the ring. He got by on his size. Crappy mic skills, crappy wrestler.

i read some interview with herc's daughter after he died. she said that by this stage he was just completely fed up in the wwf so didnt care. later on in this show he participated in a battle royal and that was the last of him
driller007 1 year ago
I believe this was one of Herc's final matches (maybe even THE final singles match - he was in the battle royal later on this card) in the WWF. He had a deal with WCW and apparently phoned in several of his final matches with the WWF. He was gone very soon after this (he was one of *many* veteran guys who disappeared between Rumble '92 and WM8).

How about Herc putting his hands behind his head for the poerbomb? Even the jobbers on Superstars would take that move like a man...
Derby14 1 year ago
That's probably the best wrestling match I've seen Sid perform. When Hercules started being a schmuck, he just outsmarted Hercules and ended it quick. Hercules is lucky that Sid didn't just drop him on his head.

Wow, I can see that! He didn't even sell the power bomb, he got right up if you look again. I wonder if it was a personal thing, because for the most part, once Herc became a face - he was a jobber.

Is there an inside story as to why Hercules didn't sell here? Was he leaving the company and pissed off about something?

Wow knowing Sid's history of violence backstage I'm surprised Sid didn't freakin stab Herc with a pair of scissors for doing this.
stinkoman78 1 year ago 2
@stinkoman78 I THINK he had given his notice when he was asked to be squashed by Sid. This was sort of him giving McMahon the finger if I'm not mistaken.

I don't think I saw him again, I bet he got fired for refusing to sell the powerbomb to Sid Justice or anything. Sid Justice didn't think twice about it in the moment but he probably was mouthed off by Hercules being told he wasn't going to sell anything.

Nope. How many times did SD Jones have to job to hacks like Hercules? SD was a much bigger name at one point, didn't stop him from doing what he had to do. Why wouldn't Herc job here? His hair was going grey by this point anyway. I retract nothing-still elated to know he is dead.
sweeneysister 2 years ago
So so so evil...not that I am criticizing you for that, it's definitely your opinion and no one should take that from you. But that is so so evil..lol! sweeneysister you won't be offended, if I tell you that I am distracted by my own flatulence, and yes you are right it was an injustice that Herc didn't go down to the Cocoa Butt, SD Jones was tons more entertaining than Hercules was IMO!

MackCockstack 1 year ago
@MackCockstack I totally agree. Herc worked for the WWF loyally for years. Screwing him over on his last televised match was just the way Vince operated. He always had power trips and love to stick it to people who he thought deserved it.
You could see it in the way he treated alot of ex NWA/WCW stars that came to him in the late '80s early '90s. Red Roster for one and Dusty's :"American Dream"schtick was another.
VisionofOrion 1 year ago
@VisionofOrion In the cases of Terry Taylor (Red Rooster) and Dusty, getting saddled with those gimmicks was, according to Jake Roberts, Vince's way of telling them that 'nose up the ass doesn't work up here. And Dusty was causing trouble in the locker room during the last few months he was with the WWF telling people like Rick Martel, Honky Tonk Man and Koko B. Ware 'When I go back to Ted Turner and WCW, give me a call and you got a job with me.'
SheriffTankStoner 9 months ago
@MackCockstack I agree with the 100 percent but it's HIS organization and he felt that he could stick it to whoever he wanted to. It's been said with great validity that when Vince McMahon loses his faith in you, it's time to start hitting the want ads.

@bigsidfan that's why he is dead.
