[Loss]

Talk about it here.

Last few minutes. Great heat, bad wrestling. Hogan doing the Hulk Up when he hasn't broken a sweat yet always looks bad. Rick Steiner runs in just as Hogan has Sid pinned, showing himself to be a better interferer than Papa Shango. Fans pelt the ring with garbage and Sting shows up. Rick Steiner eats a big boot and leg drop and Steiner gets pinned and the ref counts it for no apparent reason. They subtly tease a Hogan-Sting match coming soon in the post-match.

Ha, the fans throwing trash and Hogan pinning Steiner that actually end the match, bell and all, was very amusing.

Sid hits a chokeslam and the crowd immedietly turns to the entrance to see who's running in. Now that's conditioning your audience. Hogan pinning the wrong man so the guy he's facing doesn't have to job is classic Hogan. The fans throw trash so quick it's almost like they had plants do it.

Good heat and action looks fine even if it does feel like a 1992 time warp. Rick Steiner is there and still feels out of place with these big names. Sting helps Hogan out and Hogan pins Steiner. We get a bit of stand off between Hogan and Sting after Hogan kisses Sting.

Good heat but yawn-worthy action, and Rick Steiner's presence anywhere near the main event scene is starting to make the bile rise in my throat. Also we're nearing 1995 Cheating Coward Sid here which is so not the way to use him outside of Memphis.
