Guest MJHimJfadeaway23 Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'd prefer if they added matches that weren't already easily accessible (Some Nitro matches, SNME, and so on and so forth), but solid overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strummer Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Lots of repeat matches from the Hulk Rules DVD (How many VHS and DVD releases has Sheik vs Hogan been on?!!) but I will be getting this ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I'm disappointed. Not like there's a massive library of great Hogan matches to choose from, but what's the point of this if we basically get a repeat of matches found on the Hulk Rules and Wrestlemania DVDs? Sure, you have to include them, but where are all of the TV and arena show matches from his WWF days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Repeat matches piss me off. They have so much content that they should never be double dipping on DVDs yet if I buy this I'll have the same Hogan match on 2 or 3 DVDs thanks to the Stars of the 80s set. I guess they just like ripping people off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loss Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 The selling point for this DVD will be seeing how creatively Hogan can lie about things that have happened in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bruiser Chong Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 I don't think it's a secret to most of you guys that I don't hate Hogan. In fact, I've admitted over the years that I was a huge fan of his growing up and still enjoy seeing him in certain roles for the sake of nostalgia. So with that said, when I hear Hogan get all creative and put his spin on how things happened, a part of me wants to believe every word he's saying.

"Hulk Still Rules" is long out of production and, from what I hear, they can't sell it due to legal reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest savagerulz Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Jesus Christ all 4 DVDs are matches? HULK HOGAN MATCHES?!? Watching that in one sitting would result in opening a vortex of suck that would consume all physical matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
World's Worst Man Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I will most likely pirate disc 1 for the Bockwinkel/Inoki/DiBiase matches, but other than that...no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you have Hulk Still Rules, the nWo DVD, and the Best of the 80s DVD, you already have like 3/4ths of this set. Not to mention the Hulk Rules and the nWo sets are uncensored and unblurred. For a company that owns almost all recorded wrestling of the last 30 years, this is a disappointment.

Coffey Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I'm not going to lie, Hogan is the reason that I started watching wrestling. Right around the time Wrestlemania 4 ended is when I got hooked, or at least that's as far back as I can remember. I watched all of the build-up leading to Hogan/Savage at 'Mania 5 and I was hooked because of Hogan. I even got into crappy feuds, like those against Zeus and Earthquake because of Hogan. It was his charisma and theatrics I guess. That being said, I don't buy a lot of wrestling DVD's. The only wrestling DVD's that I own are the Ric Flair collection that I got on sale for $22 and Wrestlemania 19 which I bought off of a friend for ten bucks because he needed some money. My friend Eric owns Hulk Still Rules, the nWo DVD and the Best of the 80's DVD and they're all accessible to me. That being said, this DVD still appeals to me. It'll probably appeal to Eric as well and be a purchase. He's a lot more into buying wrestling DVDs then I am. He's almost as big a Hogan mark as myself except that he just ate raw eggs whereas I wrote a letter to Hogan asking him to get well soon after getting squashed by 'Quake. I believe that RRR and myself share that in common. It's all about the nostalgia. Yeah, it's a DVD set of nothing but Hogan matches but Hogan has never been about the workrate anyway. It's always been around the circumstances and the story surrounding a match. The build-up to the confrontation and the outcome of the match. Rewatching some of these matches will be like re-living all of the storylines and shit that I grew up on. Them all being together on one DVD is a lot easier than switching between three DVDs to see several different segments. I'm not saying it's perfect but it's a Hogan DVD that's pretty good and, in my opinion, will be worth owning. Sek does make a point about the scratch logo being blurred. That might hinder my acceptance of the DVD, at least a little. It's damn annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 If you have Hulk Still Rules, the nWo DVD, the WrestleMania box set and the Best of the 80s DVD, you already have like 5/6ths of this set. Edited for accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I have to admit, I've been watching the WM box set and the blurring isn't as distracting as I thought it would be. It only gets annoying when someone says "WWF" and they mute the F. Rock had a promo at WM 2000 where he says "WWF" every other word and he ends up sounding like he has Tourette's. It might be interesting to pick this up for the main program, just to hear Hulk kayfabe every aspect of his life and talk about bodyslamming the 800 pound Andre in front of a million people 2 weeks before he died.

Marty Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 I found the blurring to be the absolute worst for WM16. The day Eddie Guerrero passed away, I watched all his WM matches on the box set as my own quick tribute to him that day, and I couldn't believe how ugly WM16 looked in the mixed 6-person tag, due to things like all the camera people wearing WWF shirts. The match looked spotty, but in a different fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
