Loss Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 They show recent clips of Sgt. Slaughter burning the Hogan poster and assaulting a medic after a squash. This is capped off by a Hogan promo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoe Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 Beating up the medic is such a prick move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted February 4, 2013 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 I think it's against the Geneva Conventions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 Okerlund way overstates the despicability of Slaughter torching the Hulk poster--more indication that they really, really wanted that to be a U.S. flag. A much more fun angle follows as Sarge beats up Dale Wolfe after a squash and then beats down a medic for good measure. Slaughter may as well have dumped a million gallons of oil on all his Little Hulksters, brother! I'm liking Slaughter's performances, even the distasteful ones, but Hogan is absolutely coming off as phony and jingoistic. If anything, Sarge is downplaying the Iraqi allegiance and Hogan is doing his best to keep it in the forefront. So who's being distasteful?

Kevin Ridge Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Yeah, Gene was overboard there on a poster being lit on fire. We get to see some of the Slaughter rules as he beats up a ringside medic who was trying to assist a jobber who was beat up by Sarge.

soup23 Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I liked this update as it showed Slaughters new rules and Hulk responds vowing revenge. I agree that you can tell they wanted to do the flag as even Hogan alludes that Slaughter setting the poster on fire was the equivalent of doing that.

ajtroma Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 The medic appeared to be WCW job guy Chris Sullivan. I dont know many of today's movie stars, but, goddammit, I can recognize TV wrestling job guys from the 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 The Hogan promo is nothing new, but it says something that Vince and Piper sell more outrage over the "medic" being beaten than they do over Hogan's T-shirt being burned a week later. Could Vince have possibly known that he'd gone too far and wanted to soft-pedal the T-shirt burning to avoid outrage from fans and advertisers over the comparisons between the shirt and the American flag? Mean Gene continues to be this match's best salesman. His disgust at Sarge's actions is palpable, much more so than that of the other announcers. A tremendous job from someone who too few people take seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
