[1995-10-29-WWF-Halloween Havoc] Hulk Hogan vs The Giant (Monster Truck Battle)

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

That they work this like a wrestling match with back and forth momentum shifts is amusing, but Eric Bischoff's commentary is priceless. ("SHIFTING THE TORQUE!") And The Giant dies when Hogan throws him off of a building, which never fails to make me laugh.

Where does "attempting to murder The Giant" fall on the scale of "dickish things Hulk Hogan has done as a babyface"?

I always loved the reaction of the truck guy on commentary. He said something like, "That wasn't supposed to happen" and it cracks me up.

Nowhere, because Hogan didn't throw him off the building. They were brawling near the edge, and Giant just lost his balance and fell. Hulk even tried to reach out and catch him, but missed. The segment was pretty clearly designed to indicate that Giant falling was simply an accident.

Heenan sounded like a little bit of him died calling this. So damn funny. I was surprised Giant could actually fit in the truck.

[Laney]

This was just terrible and completely stupid. The idea that this whole thing was drawn out and worked like a match is astounding. Definitely a memorable moment. This needs to be shown when ever anybody complains about how bad WWF was in 1995. I don't think anything they did touched this monstrosity.

[El-P]

Total vintage Hogan WCW retardation ! Heenan saying "This is exciting" while not even trying to fake the least bit of excitement tells the whole story.

And yeah, Hogan was portrayed as a babyface here, Giant falling was clearly an accident, Hogan simply got out of his grip and the momentum carried the Giant away. This is still making me laugh too, soooo stupid.

And now, let's go to Luger vs Savage, because the Giant would have wanted it that way.

One of the most hilarious moments in wrestling. Nothing else needs to be said.

Besides the stupidity of the angle at the end, is there any rationality of doing this gimmick besides "wrestling fans are white trash, what does white trash love besides wrestling? monster trucks!"?
