KrisZ Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 We started here. If we were to run through Graham's site, and the WON as well for data, the number of cities and territories that the WWF added to it's promotion with Hogan as the spearhead is rather staggering. "[in 1984, the] WWF also ran its first house shows in such places as the Twin Cities, Chicago, Cincinnati, Columbus, Atlanta, Norfolk, Richmond, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Birmingham, Miami, Jacksonville, Oakland, Sacramento, Fresno, St. Louis, Kansas City, Toronto, Dallas, Houston, Calgary, Montreal, Winnipeg, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Ottawa, Vancouver, and Oklahoma City. It had already opened up Detroit and Cleveland very late in 1983 and had its syndicated TV in many more markets." http://wrestlingclassics.com/.ubb/ultimate...t=105422#000000 Yeah, Tamalie is touching on stuff that I'd hammered for years. There probably are similar things in WC threads on Austin-Hogan and a WON Wrestler of the Year thread. WWF was pretty much dead in the South other than Florida until about 1987. If you're going to expand into the South, other than Texas what state/market would you want? Florida. They took Houston when Bosch threw his hat in with the WWF. They didn't do massive business in Houston, but they did turn it into a WWF town/market in Hogan's 1984-92 run. And with PPV and other revenue channels that the WWF was expanding into in the 80s/90s, adding more eyes and potential buyers is important. Perhaps the WWF might only get 5000 to show up for a live show in Houston. But they also were chasing those those folks to by Mani, SummerSlam and Survivors, while also making the market less likely as one that the opposition might suceed in. I know that we all wax about Mid Atlantic, but if you're the WWF in the 80s, Florida is vastly more important to you. I think people in the 80s who wanted to bash the WWF and Hogan were grasping at the failures (Mid Atlantic, Atlanta, Dallas) while overlooking that the rest of the country was largely steamrolled, and as a percentage of the population in the country, what the WWF and Hogan added into their WWF "territory" was overwhelming and staggering. Maybe I'm running it into the ground, but: 1990 Census 248,709,873 US Population 42,008,942 East North Central (IL, OH, MI, IN, WI) 39,127,306 Pacific (CA, WA, OR, etc) 17,659,690 West North Central (Mizzou, MN, IA, KA, NE, Dakotas) 13,658,776 Mountain (AZ, CO, UT, NM, NV, etc) 12,937,926 Florida 125,392,640 Added That's literally half the country. What was it added to? 37,602,286 Mid-Atlantic (the Census considers this NY, PA and NJ only) 13,206,943 New England (MA, CT, etc) 6,054,536 (Maryland, Delaware, DC) 56,863,765 Original Territory 182,256,405 New Territory They added a chunk of population that was 220% larger than the old Capital Sports territory. And moved having 22.9% of the population (which was easily the largest old territory) to 73.3% of the population in the country. And I suspect by the end of Hogan's run there we can add elements of Texas to that as well, since they certainly were able to run major shows there (Rumble '89 was in Houston, Tuesday in Texas was in SanAn, SNME in Austin & Lubbock). There were two SNME in TN (Nashville & Chattanoga). That's not even factoring in Canada and Europe. And yeah... I know that's not the point your were making about the South, Kris. I just see the Austin-Hogan argument being made made elsewhere, and I don't think that enough attention is being flashed on how massively the WWF expanded with Hogan as the tool. John The only market they were really hitting big in Florida at that time though was Miami. They were doing good business there but everywhere else not so much and you can chalk that up to the vast amount of Northeasterners that would migrated to Miami. Regarding Houston, they didn't hit big there until 1987 when Boesch aligned with them. On the Hogan/Austin argument, Hogan was far more important at bringing in new markets of course that's no doubt. Before Hogan came in they had expanded to the LA & Detroit markets while making waves in Ohio which was still controlled by Ole. Hogan comes in and St. Louis opens up in December 1983 thanks to Matsyik, they roll into Montreal in May 1984, before trying JCP cities in June 1984 with these lineups which would spell failure of course.

KrisZ Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Let's look at Hogan and when he made his debuts by market size in the territories that wasn't part of WWF before he came there. Chicago = July 13, 1984 (The thing about Chicago was they would run it a week before AWA would run it and AWA was still very strong in the market as they were running the Rosemont Horizon while Vince was running the UIC Pavilion but that all changed after the AWA's November show. Look at the decline. AWA @ Rosemont, IL – Rosemont Horizon – November 3, 1984 (18,301) Brad Rheingans d. Steve Regal Jimmy Garvin d. Steve O Mr. Saito d.

Ricky Steamboat If you notice there is some WWC talent on this show which the reason for that was they had TV on a Spanish channel in New York so they featured Invader & Colon on this card to bring in that fanbase which was very shrewd on their part because WWF wasn't going for that demo at the time. WWF had just run a huge show at the Garden a week earlier and although I don't have a crowd number this Meadowlands show tanked. Pro Wrestling USA would form late in 1984 and while they would run some shows in the area, they wouldn't return to the Meadowlands until February 1985.

jdw Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 I think there are a lot of other cities in FL that they hit. It's hard to tell the attendance as Graham doesn't always have it. But some debute shows: 12/26/84 Jacksonville, FL - Veterans Memorial Coliseum August 15, 1985 - Pensacola, FL - Civic Center August 16 or 17, 1985 - Ft. Myers, FL - Lee Civic Center WWF @ Tampa, FL - August 18, 1985 (9,365; sell out) Graham has that as their first show, and Hogan is on it. WWF @ Orlando, FL - Orange County Convention Center - August 19, 1985 (3,000 w/o Hogan) WWF @ Tampa, FL - SunDome - December 19, 1985 - SNME Just doing a ", fl - " search for shows: 1984 - 7 1985 - 34 1986 - 24 1987 - 28 1988 - 22 I suspect similar to 1985 that we'll find them in all the major cities: Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando. The other thing we need to remember is that it's not just about drawing fans to house shows: Vince was expanding the revenue channels to PPV, merchandise, videos, TV (SNME), etc. Florida is full of a lot of fans. Prior to Hogan: FL wasn't part of the WWF. After Hogan, Florida was and is part of the WWF's "territory" though ups and downs. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisZ Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Quick add to NY: You want to get in the Meadowlands and Long Island numbers for the WWF as well. I did this once before in a thread to show how Hogan wasn't in MSG as much because he was also used as an anchor for Meadowlands and Long Island cards. There was the Hogan-Muraco series from 04/22/85 to 06/21/85. After that, he wasn't back until 12/30/85. So for 1985-86 (with the Jan 87 completion of a feud): 02/18/85 MSG: Hogan vs Piper 03/08/85 Long Island: Hogan vs Ventura 03/31/85 MSG: Mania 04/22/85 MSG: Hogan vs Muraco 05/10/85 Long Island: Hogan vs Orton (SNME) 05/20/85 MSG: Hogan vs Muraco 06/21/85 MSG: Hogan vs Muraco 06/26/85 Long Island: Hogan & Orndorff vs Studd & Orton 08/02/85 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Beefcake 10/03/85 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Volkoff (SNME) 11/01/85 Long Island: Hogan vs Ventura 12/05/85 Long Island: Hogan & Tito vs Savage & Ventura 12/30/85 MSG: Hogan vs Savage 01/27/86 MSG: Hogan vs Savage 02/17/86 MSG: Hogan vs Savage 03/10/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Studd 04/07/86 Long Island: Hogan vs Bundy (from LA at Mania) 04/22/86 MSG: Hogan & Hillbilly Jim vs Studd & Bundy 05/08/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Muraco 06/22/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Adonis 07/17/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Adonis 08/04/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Adonis 09/22/86 MSG: Hulk Machine * Big & Super Machine vs Bundy & Studd & Heenan 10/03/86 Long Island: Hogan vs Orndorff 11/03/86 Long Island: Hogan vs Orndorff 11/24/86 MSG: Hogan & Piper vs Orndorff & Race 12/01/86 Long Island: Hogan vs Orndorff 12/08/86 Meadowlands: Hogan vs Savage 12/26/86 MSG: Hogan vs Kamala 01/05/87 Meadowlands: Hogan & Steamboat vs Savage & HTM 01/19/87 MSG: Hogan vs Kamala 31 matches (30 we you kick out Mania II, but Hogan really was the draw at *every* venue that night). Just 13 of them were in MSG. Basically, Hogan was being spread around the New York area, helping block rivals from all three major venue, and giving WWF fans a lot of different matches/cards to chose from in a given month. John The war for New York got kicking on February 18, 1985 so let's look at Nassau Coliseum & Meadowlands. Notice the differences yet again when Hogan is on top than when he is not.

jdw Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 The sad thing about the New York cards is so many attendance figures are missing. And things like 8,000 for the 1985 SNME look off in Graham's numbers. They drew 7K for the next card without Hogan that has a figure (two shows later), then pop 17K the next time Hogan comes (a rehash of his Studd feud).

KrisZ Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 What struck me the most doing this is the Savage title run in some of the big cities as his feuds with DiBiase & Bad News died in certain areas then Hogan coming back to save the day is another reason to show everyone how important Hogan really was at this time even after being on top for 4 years.

I had so much fun. I actualy remember the Beefcake/Poffo match being my favorite. I thought Brutus was the shit when I was 8. I also remember being scared during the Orndorff/Hogan match. We were in the upper level and people were throwing all kinds of stuff into the ring after Hogan got dq'd. Threads like this one is why this is my favorite wrestling place on the whole internets.

khawk20 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 The WWF vs. The AWA is interesting because outside of a few cards here and there (like the June 1984 debut card), the WWF shows did pretty miserably attendance-wise. The tide turned after the Thanksgiving 1985 show for good, but the fans seemed to resist embracing the WWF even when the AWA product wasn't enthralling them either (as witnessed by the lackluster attendance in parts of 1984 and 1985). I've got tape of clips of those WWF shows from the Met in that time frame. The sports guys (who always covered wrestling cards with results and highlights on the late news the night of and night after a card) noted that attendance at the WWF shows was brutal and the matches were abysmal. Hometown bias? Somewhat, but I think that the Twin Cities fans really gave Verne every chance they could to win that war simply because they envisoned losing the local flavour that their cards had if the generic-card WWF won out. It's the one element that I think a lot of fans didn't realize was going to happen until it was too late. I think AWA fans (specifically in Minneapolis) picked up on this while it was happening. I think it also explains why the wrestling market in Minnesota pretty much collapsed after the AWA died, if not a bit before. Too many years being the center of the wrestling world with the AWA in town made it too hard to embrace WWF cards 4 times a year, with little or no meaning other than the "national" feuds and matches.

Log Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Did any of those Hogan/Valentine matches make tape? For some reason, that match intrigues me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Pretty sure there's one on the first Hulkamania comm release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 There is at least one Valentine v. Hogan match that made tape and I remember thinking it was pretty good when I watched it a couple years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
