Two wrestlers in the ring fighting to win. He was believable from his holds to his punches also his selling. But yes as you have said we watched him move up the card gradually and having the best performances so he earned it and a lot of us were ready! I know I was🤘

Thank you for these videos I enjoy looking back in Wrestling history

Gosh damn im really digging this channel 😁 thank you Wrestling Bios for these. It brings me back and i agree with alot . This is great 👍👍 keep them coming

Thank you for acknowledging that Vince put the belt on Hulk. Lots of smark Bret Hart fans give Hogan a lot of hate for this decision but it wasn't Hogan's to make. Ultimately the decision failed but with business sagging it's not surprising Vince thought it worth the gamble to try again with his highest grossing star of the past.

"Hogan decided now was a good time to get out of WWF and focus on Hollywood" Me: so you're saying he became Hollywood Hogan? *puts on sunglasses* *walks out of room* *walks back in because I forgot my soda* *walks out again*

That was the logic behind the gimmick, that he was this conceited Hollywood star, similar to the Rock and the Miz's own Hollywood gimmicks.

Great video thanks for posting

as always a excellent video, thank you so much.

Don’t worry, the guys Hart made (Hall, Nash, Stone Cold, Rock) took the industry to heights Hulkamania never did. Anyone here think the match quality and storytelling would become what it did without Bret at the top pushing everyone to be their best?

Yep, his ego got in the way, same reason why he didn't put Shawn over at SummerSlam 2005, and that's why Shawn sabotaged the match in a hilarious matter, I still to this day wonder if Vince reprimanded him (Michaels) for that.

@@lexkanyima2195 Hogan was supposed to fight Austin at Wrestlemania 18 but it was changed to the Rock because Austin didn't feel that he could have a Mania quality match with Hogan, at least that's what I read. You can't say that Hogan didn't do business at Manaia 28 because he did when he put the Rock over cleanly. Unless you're confusing 18 with 14, the whole thing with Michaels, Tyson and Austin.

I'm gonna openly admit this. I was born in 1987 and I enjoyed "Mr. Nanny" very much. I was the type of kid they made movies like that for. My grandmother took me to theaters and bought the tickets for us to watch it and there's no telling how many times we rented it from blockbuster.

This is right when I started watching WWF.

love your work bro. love watching your videos with my dad, as wrestling is one of the very few things we have in common. so not to get too sappy however thank you for helping me to have something I can share with my dad and bond over. please keep up the good work. and if I may ask could you do a video on beefcake in the WWF?

The music at the start always makes me think of Todd Pettingill

Another great episode champ.

this is awesome i love how youll take moments and really look at why they happened like the fingerpoke of doom, this one is pretty insane tho frickin hulk man😂

We all forget the mega pop when he won the title... That alone shows you hulkamania was far from dead.. Yes I agree we most of the stuff after but the fans still wanted hogan.. I was at the earls court house show in 93 and when his music hit.. It was madness

Exactly Hogan has always gotten the pop, him and the Outsiders even made heels the cool thing. Hogan built wrestling in WWF, he then took WCW and led it to 2 years of Dominamce over WWE which was unheard of.

@@Insidious_Rage it was a smart move but it was kind of happening.

Wrestlemania IX is simply short-sighted hot shot booking which WWE still does now with the likes of Brock Lesnar and Goldberg. It would have been great to see a long-term rivalry between Bret Hart and Yokozuna rather than the joke we got. I was upset at this as a kid in 1993 and I'm still upset watching it back.

I love wrestling stories. This channel has the best narration.

I ve been wondering for 25 years who was the king of the ring 1993 photographer. I finally have the answer now. Thanks a lot wrestling bio !

It was hard to watch the wwf in 1993 yeah they still had my favorite wrestler in Bret hart, Shawn Michaels, crush, Ted dibiase, the undertaker and a few more. But when hulk Hogan came back things were different it wasn't the golden days anymore and by this point I was already done with hulk Hogan.

This was a strange ending. I remember after this Hogan went to Japan and did a press conference saying the WWF belt was a toy compared to there belt IGWP belt or whatever it was. The wrestling magazine also made a big deal about that because Sting was on the same card. Hogan was already planning his WCW escape as vince was going new generation.

You should and will have 1,000,000 subscribers sooner than later. A Powers of Pain bio would be pretty nice fyi. Thanks for your videos man.

Yokozuna, if he were a car, would be a Nissan GT-R. Heavy and damn fast.

I think a good ending would be Yokozuna winning the title the same way, then beating up Hart after the match. Only for Hogan to come in and chase off the heels WITHOUT challenging for the title right then and there. End on the visual of Hogan and Hart standing tall in the ring for that "Send the crowd home happy" moment even though Yoko still leaves with the belt. That way you tease a Hogan vs Yokozuna match in the future. And then you can decide later on whether it should be Hogan or Hart that finally topples Yokozuna.

Great video.👍

Great stuff!

Hindsight is 20/20, we look back at this debacle and know how stupid it was. But Hogan was still the biggest draw in wrestling. He got a bigger pop than Bret did. People were happy he was champion then.
