Lol, I should've watched the whole clip before mentioning Mel Phillips, Hansen total bulldozed the guy! Awesomeness, love Hansen even more than I already did!
-
Mel Phillips as ring announcer...I won't bother with any perverse joke(s)...

@sryohei1234 Well, Gordy was the guy they asked to wrestle in the main event against Hogan. He was also the guy AJPW made the Triple Crown Champion two months later, instead of Hansen (although they'd trade the belt a couple times that same year). It seems, at least, backstage, Gordy was considered #1 by someone.

@DevilTakeMe Terry Gordy & Steve Williams was a great tag team in AJPW.
However, as a single wrestler, I never felt he was No. 1 Gaijin at that organization.
If it was Terry Gordy vs Hulkstar, I bet it was difficult to make the dome a full house.
-
@sryohei1234 It should be noted that Hansen was actually the No. 2 "Gaijin" at the time, No. 1 being Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy. Gordy was asked to do the job of putting Hogan over at this show (an AJPW-WWF joint event), but Gordy thought it wouldn't benefit him. Hansen had no problem with working with Hogan, and the rest is history.

Stan Hansen represented the Japanese Fans at that time.
It was the battle between the current and former No.1 "Gaijin" meaning a foreign wrestler.
A true clasic. Please also check out Vader vs Hansen @Tokyo Dome.

this match DEFINITELY seperates WRESTLING from SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT, cause i NEVER SAW HULK HOGAN just WHIP SOMEBODY's ASS RIGHT OFF THE BAT LIKE THAT ine his intial run in WWF, it this been in the states it'd be HOGAN doin all the BLEEDIN! Hogan didn show THIS kind of agression n WRESTLING skill more frequently until he turned HEEL in WCW as HOLLYWOOD HULK HOGAN!
Him m Stan Hansen WOULD/SHOULD've been a BIG DRAW had they wrestled in the states, specially after losn at WM6
-
That black woman in the audience sure LOVES Hogan. LOL You can hear her screaming his name from the middle to the end of the match.
-
@sdude456 maybe that's because Stan wasn't known for his selling.
I think Hogan adapted based his audience more than anything else. When he was in Japan, he wrestled that style. When he was with Vince, he wrestled the "entertainment" style, and so on. That is the mark of a great worker, IMO. Adapt to the audience. He knew he could not work the McMahon style in Japan so he altered it. Fact is he could get away with a "formula" in the WWF because that is what U.S. fans wanted at the time. Like it or not.
