For those who say Hogan can't wrestle I say take this match and stick it up your ass.

Hogan shouldn't job... The WWF is paying these guys to what make there Champ look bad... Hogan was a beast and he didn't Wrestle like this in America because all we wanted to see was Hogan Hulk up and hit the leg drop.

[hulkfoley]

what a great match!!! this is why hulk hogan is the best ever!!! dude kicked out of three hogan finishers and hogan laid his ass down! take notes shawn micheals no over sailing in this match!lol

Even in Japan, as a heel Hogan was loved just look at the end of this video to see that. HOGAN FTW!!!!!!!!!!!! Neither could Austin or Flair get this kind of love ;)

the biz is different in japan than in the US. in the US, it's all about the show and not enough about the wrestling. In Japan, they care about the actual wrestling.

Hogan won the match & put Tenryu over at the same time. Eat that, haters.

[Gr8muta]

Totally agree with you! Hogan knows he can't bring that superman shit to Japan. He Always up's his game in the Far east. check out his match with Hansen and Great Muta. Tenryu is one of my favorites as well. Dude is still working (decently) at his age! Amazing!

[jlward]

What a fantastic match. I'd give it about 4 3/4 stars. The right guy won, but Tenryu wound up looking strong by kicking out of the legdrop and the axe bomber. And who knew Hogan could wrestle??? Absolutely terrific.

Hogan was a face in America. Here, in Japan the fanbase is more knowledgeable about pure wrestling, so he incorporated more moves. That, and he was the heel, Tenryu was the face.

Consider first, the fact that SWS was on the rise and Tenryu needed a win to earn credibility.

Second, the classic combination that he used in the US couldn't work on those days in Japan, Hogan knew how to satisfy any crowd, US, Canada, Japan. That wouldn't look well from somebody that beat Inoki with a more mat-scientific wrestling and a more credible finisher.
