[1991-09-30-WWF-Primetime Wrestling] Hulk Hogan in the studio

[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Hogan looks weird in his red and yellow doorag and his Suburban Commando outfit. He shows up to argue with Heenan about Flair.

Heenan raises some good points about Flair defending the title while Hogan's making movies. We get a lazy mime gag from the movie and threats from a costumed Hogan towards Flair.

Hogan should have wrestled in his Suburban Commando gear. Solid acting job with Hogan working with the mime.

The Suburban Commmando gear makes it way into the Prime Time Studio. The mime scene is shown and Bobby acts frightened. Hulk seemed a little off his game here.

I thought Hogan was better here than usual. He's in character without being the yelling, screaming Neanderthal we've seen too often over these past two years, actually bantering a bit with Heenan instead of just threatening to splatter him. I got a kick out of the outfit, which he looks good in, and the clip they showed from the movie showed yet another glimpse of what Hogan could have accomplished in Hollywood if he'd been more careful about picking his scripts.

 

As for Heenan, he doesn't say much that he hasn't before. I just wish they'd allowed Hogan to counter Heenan's bit about defending the belt every night with something like, "Yeah. and he has friends to get him disqualified and help him keep it!" We can dream, can't we? Anyway, Bobby comes off as a braggart and a blowhard who, as usual, is letting his mouth write checks that his protege du jour may not be able to cash, Real World Champion or not.

 

Mooney does decently hosting this, but I wish Vince or Gino would have thought enough of stuff like this to come back. I also wish we had the earlier segment from the same night with Hogan talking more extensively about Flair.
