Hollywood Hogan vs. Lex Luger WCW Road Wild 1997 Part 1/3

[SeanMBryans]

Hack HOgan - He could suck the air out of a building by just walking in . . . No talent whatsoever - Just an appearance. A high school wrestler could beat him in a fair match. Lou Thesz said it best, "My grandmother has a better leg drop then Hogan."

[Bionickle]

I loved WCW,but they had the most putrid PPV names and concepts. This PPV in particular was Bischoffs "magnificent" idea,only so he could ride with his motorcycle buddies -_-

[JokerXDHaHaHa]

@Bionickle And they had free admission to the Sturgess shows. 

[spinnernet1]

Tony Shiavone: "In 1997, the two biggest names in our sport (Luger and Hogan)". 

Not if you included some WWF wrestlers, lol. I think the Undertaker, Bret Hart, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Shawn Michaels would have taken exception to being put behind Lex Luger. Heck, even if you only include WCW wrestlers, Sting was a bigger star than Luger in 1997 and he only wrestled one match the whole year.

[Norg1]

i remember buying this on tape cause it had a good card from top 2 bottom IMO 

[j5muscle]

They need their roids. They look horrible

[mancalledstinger]

hogan's birthday is the 10th of August.

at Roadwild 1996 and Roadwild 1997 he became world champ, both events took place around his birthday

[MAD4MEGADETH]

should be call roid wild

[TheSWFuniverse]

I miss these outdoor events. The spring break Nitro's were awesome. The only time WWE did it recently was Mania 24 and that was awesome too.

[TophDaGreat]

I never understood why Luger won the strap only to job a few days later. What a waste of talent.

[mancalledstinger]

@TophDaGreat

you're calling Luger a talent!? Come on!

[me31669]

@TophDaGreat Thats exactly right, a waste of talent thats why Hogan won it back so early.

[johnissoevil]

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO SUCK IIIIIIII...I mean RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

[TurboThrash]

Hollywood 4 life!!!

[dharmaseed]

Definitely not an event where you saw wrestlers trash talking to the crowd.

[azbatz1]

i was at this event. it was the last time they had glass beer bottles... hogan and crew got fucking pelted. so did i.

[housepacific24]

Hogan looks much better without the black beard

[adamthegreatoneb]

For those saying wrestling is fake, you are idiots. Do you think it ruins it for us by saying that? It's widely accepted that wrestling is purely entertainment and has been open about it for decades. All you're doing is showing your ignorance and idiocy.

[Ventura827]

@adamthegreatoneb Well said! (Professional Wrestling Fan 4Life)

[buttercremehonda]

"bigges-the biggest icon in wrestling"

"...SUWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!!"

"new-new--new world order"

LUV IT

[Aneudiper7]

the ring is tiny

[ROCKNINJA777]

hahahaha wtf what's up with the hat

[TheWavy87]

Hogan's trash talking during the matches was hilarious. lol

[sadiqq7]

i always wanted to see him where the big gold belt instead of thast fake wcw belt

[donn409]

Luger was f*cking boring.

[lldjslim]

Man I just don't get it.

Why was Hogan allowed to hulk up as a babyface, but when he turned heel all of a sudden he is not allowed to hulk up. Like he lost all of his powers because he is a bad guy now.

Man that just goes to show you that wrestling is so FAKE

[donn409]

@lldjslim Hogan whipped Sting's ass without hulking up.

[LandoRigs]

And let's not discount that he's held the WCW World Title, WCW U.S. Title, WCW World Tag Team titles, WCW TV title. He should be in the Hall of Fame. Whether you like him or not, his resume is just as good as the best wrestlers during his era.

Now if Luger indeed sucked, would he have been pushed for as long as he was from approximately 1986 through 2000? That's 14 years as a top player in the business alongside some of the greatest wrestlers of all time. How many others can say that?

[LandoRigs]

I always think it to be interesting that people call Lex Luger talentless when he has been booked to go over pretty much every single top wrestler in the business. Greatest wrestler ever? Nope. But here's a partial list of people he's beaten in singles: Hogan, Flair, Sting, Savage, Bret Hart, Great Muta, Curt Hennig, Barry WIndham, Masahiro Chono, Ricky Steamboat. He's won the Royal Rumble (1994). Here's his tag victories: Arn & Tully, Road Warriors, Harlem Heat, Steiners, etc. Great resume!

[Guerrillachop]

@LandoRigs Lex Luger was good in his time, people sayin he has no talent i disagree alot, he was good i used to watch WCW nitro almost every night when i was younger he used to beat people twice his size and won multiple championship titles

[bbayagor]

les luger sucks very much he is one of the talentless wrestlers ressponsible for the downfall of the wcw

[eggyhustles]

listen WOULD ALL U 25 TO 35 YRS OLD MEN STFU & JUST ACCEPT THAT THE WWE IS PG IF U MISS THE ATTITUDE ERA ORDER WWE 24/7 ON DEMAND RELIEVE THE GOOD OL DAY'S HELL I TIRED OF ALL THESE BLOGS SITES BITCHING ABOUT AWW BRING BACK THE ATTITUDE ERA BACK PLZ GROW UP 1/2 OF U M/F'S R STILL WATCHING RAW & SMACKDOWN STILL N-E B-CUZ UR STILLWWE STANS

[Schwarze999]

wow michale buff, really? lol i forgot he wore that thing. I last saw this when this was live on ppv when i was kid

[freelan45]

GOD, Michael Buffer looks like a complete and total tool with that goofy ass biker hat on his head,

[Blackjesus3]

i loved wcw as a kid sting was my favourite :D

[jmoon219]

I get flamed when I say this, but I miss these days. WCW, nWo, WWF Monday night wars. I guess all the Cena, DX, MVP, etc fans take offense because they know that the current wrestling is shit. They know that John fuckin Cena couldn't hold a candle to Hollywood Hogan and the nWo. Hell, Eric Bischoff would never have hired a no talent jack ass like Cena in WCW's prime.

[999xander999]

I totally agree with u! Wrestling was much better back in the day. I hate how the WWE rem Cena & DX down our throats! But TNA is getting good. They certainly put on a better show than WWE.

[DogFacedGremlin76]

@999xander999 old school DX from 1997 was good, But i agree the new Dx and Cena Crap is Getting So overdone, i

[999xander999]

Yeah was good when Chyna, X Pac & all those were with them! But i always turn the channel over when DX come on now. They will still take over the show when they are both 60 so we best get used to it lol

[jenningsslayer314]

Right on that one.

[jenningsslayer314]

Why would you get flamed for telling the truth?

[BiscuitsMcGillicuddy]

@jmoon219 I totally agree with you JMoon219. At least there are a few people, like me, that have some brians on here.

[squeezetoy1984]

@jmoon219 the only thing that would have saved Cena in the 90s was his charisma. that's it. his talent would have been negligeable, i agree. Cena & MVP have charisma....it's about the only thing that save them.

[nwo4lifedta316]

@jmoon219 preach it brother

[nicknitro6969]

why are some of you idiots bitchin about Buffer's hat? Its obvious he is wearing it bc theyre at Hog Wild with all the motorcycles, and i think its clever for him to be in tune a little with the crowd.

[cabrito550]

@nicknitro6969

You`re an idiot. And a faggot. This shit hat has nothing to do with the crowd. Have you ever seen a biker with such an idiotic hat???

[gabeguzman]

I'm sorry that's funny as shit michael buffer wearing a hat like that with a suit. I bet that was wcw's lame idea for him to wear that! No disrespect to michael buffer.

[maneyoungmoney]

Hulk Hogan is tha best

[Blackmafia100]

What the hell is michael buffer wearing on his head?

[TheBarney97]

obviously u guys r watching something else cause this is wcw not wwf or mma.

[C06coolvette]

Vintage Hogan, I miss those days.

[IlikePiggybacksgirls]

why luger make so much noise when he wrestles he's the noisies champ in history.

[Ryushinku]

...Buffer really isn't a hat man.

[eveque]

Lex Luger is the Man don't hate

[saved83]

lex loser screams like a cunt

[saved83]

wow hogen looks nice in black but without the black beard

[StefanoFan27]

Ohhhh, Michael Buffer Looks Kewl in that biker hat.

[SuperSonicHot]

How about guys who are into UFC, go comment on UFC & MMA videos, and those into WCW/WWE sport entertainment/pro wrestling, comment on these videos. Arguing over text is so overated nowadays.

[talbotfisher1984]

HA! Buffer in a white tux and a biker beret!

[tommyn79]

put these guys in MMA to show them what manly fight is.. WWF is very gay for fakers

[KingAndy1992]

Brock is your world champ. LOL.

[Broleta]

Yea man, two guys rolling around on the ground hugging each other is a manly fight. Totally! lolmma.

[tommyn79]

yeah... let them roll on you with an arm bar or a naked choke . then u'll tell me if it's manly or not

[Broleta]

Wrestle 200-300 nights of the year, away from your family, beating yourself up and you tell me if wrestling's manly or not.

[Broleta]

Also, Brock is your world champ, LOL

[bigmanbreakfast]

I'm gonna give you 1 chance to apologise for that remark.....

[georgyfontaine28]

Apologise? He's telling the truth.

[tommyn79]

me? i'm sorry guys.. WWF is not gay ..but super gay and it's good for people who don't know what the heck real fight is, to view and enjoy

[jaws5204]

lol u got owned by everyone

[tommyn79]

nah.. they can't own me if they keep thinking WWF is real.. in my opinion, 1 guy from MMA can be vs 3 guys or more from WWF..

[jaws5204]

ya but a guy from the WWE is UFC world champ

[superfatamusic]

Why worry that people think it´s real? Most fans knows it´s not, come on; IT`S SO OBVIOUS! People enjoy it for what it is, and that´s a spectacle and athletic entertainment.

[J5forchrist]

That why Brock Lesnar a former "Fake Wrestler" is the UFC Heavyweight champion? And Why Bobby Lashley current "fake wrestler" is not only undefeated in MMA but also beat Bob Sapp a guy people call a mma vet? Sounds to me it was 1 guy from MMA vs 1 From fake wrestling and the fake wrestler won.And I am a MMA fan so i know that theres no such thing as a fluke win in MMA in the end. Very few say wwf is real. To say it doesnt take intense physical skill though is to be seriously stupid.

[tommyn79]

Look .. how many WWE guys can be able to go to MMA? only 2/100 ?..and you're so proud of that # LOL ...but anyways.. they both went thru MMA training before they actually had real MMA fights.. my point is if they still keep the same WWE training, then they would have only 1% to win the MMA bouts ...

[J5forchrist]

Well How many UFC guys have been able to get into pro wrestling? Its just as short as a fraction. There have been people who have tried. Frank Trigg,Tito Ortiz,and more have tried to get into it and were not able to for different reasons. All saying that "Fake" wrestling buisness is just as hard and grueling if not more at times then MMA. I respect both sports and realize that both take a huge deal of skill and drive. Its dumb though to bash one's athletes saying they are nothing to the other

[LeadCeno]

This isn't a WWF match. It's called pro wrestling, WWF is just one company. Honestly, you don't sound like you know a damn thing about it and have no business making fun of it. Yeah, it's fake, the matches are all pre-determined, but most of us know that (except for little kids and idiots) and don't care, we like it for what it is.

[tommyn79]

PRO WRESTLING?.. OMG ..this is called pro wrestling..LOL.. i can see one guy punch the other guy while he slams his foot on the floor to make cool sound effect....yeah..you like it because you all are noobs

[LeadCeno]

Yes, it's called pro wrestling. If you knew the history of it, you'd understand why. But you still act like they're actually trying to fool people into thinking it's real. Yes, they have to make sound effects, they can't punch each other for real since it's a show and not an actual fight. I'm not explaining anymore, you're obviously too thickheaded to understand.

[bandanaboy47]

michael buffer!

[vcuhustlah]

i hear like no crowd.. weak

[dakliq420]

anybody noticed that when hogan went hollywood,he actually used holds?

[jmoon219]

I was never a fan of Hulk Hogan until he turned heel. He was so freakin awesome as Hollywood Hogan.

[ifeelallright]

michael buffer probably has million$ because of 4 words

[NelsonWade]

lets get ready to rumble = 5 words Mr. Math Major

[charismatic9904]

lmao.

[gnetikjakhammer]

YOU DUMB NIGGER! IT'S 5 WORDS NOT 4.

[ifeelallright]

"YOU DUMB NIGGER" is 3 words kikeface

[gnetikjakhammer]

no nigger, i was saying michael buffer is famout for 5 words, you fucking cunt piece of shit nigger.

[ifeelallright]

i don't accept your apology, you bloody vaginal belch

[gnetikjakhammer]

1st of all i didn't apologize. 2nd of all go watch your batista and cena and leave the classics alone.

[xjokerz07]

Hog Wild? Lol, ok........

[TeamTote]

The event was called Hog wild in 1996. The Harley Owners Group (HOG) sued and made WCW stop using the name, thus it was changed to Road Wild. Buffer often writes his own cards, so I think someone forgot to tell Mr. Buffer.

[ratmaslove]

luger was cool

[ghostinthefog1666]

i imagine michael buffer felt a little dumb in that hat.

[TeamTote]

I laughed like hell when I started watching this match and saw Buffer.

[myboo257]

ty so much for uploading this!!!!

[mononokehime316uk]

They for some silly reason thought it was a good idea to dress the crew up as bikers. In 1996 it was worse as they made Tony wear something that resembled the bikers in Police Academy. Wrestlemania IX should have taught them never play dress up.

[ghostinthefog1666]

i vaguely remember that about schiavone seems like he had on some sort of all blue jean getup with vest and all. i can remember dusty telling him to show his wife his new tattoo on his forearm which disappeared afterwards lol. as far as buffer goes im sure he wishes this footage never again saw the light of day.

[ghostinthefog1666]

awesome thanks for this. to bad luger didnt get to stay champ longer.

[TeamTote]

No problem.
