[1990-01-15-WWF-MSG, NY] Hulk Hogan vs Mr Perfect

[SmartMark15]

Just a fantastic Hogan-formula MSG house show match, if you ask me. For anyone who says Hulk Hogan doesn't sell or can't sell, just look at this match. Hogan is incredibly generous in this match with his selling right from the moment Perfect is able to kick Hogan who's setting up for a back body drop. Hogan gets huge sympathy from the crowd and Perfect looked great on offense. Then you had the antics with Genius which was great (how was Perfect not DQ-ed when Genius put the boots on him? Was it cause Hogan brought him into the match first?). Perfect bumps like an absolute nut for Hogan, even bumping on his nuts like thrice. What a trooper. Gotta love the production value of WWF that they got that close up of the knucks in Perfect's tights so that you could have the announcers actually try to deduce what went down. A DQ finish but it's fine to build heat and really the match before it was just entertaining all throughout.

It's a formula Hogan match with a fuck finish, but Perfect makes this a worthwhile watch.

**3/4
