WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan vs Randy Savage - MLG 4/23/89

 

Their usual fun match with each other. Lots of heel chicanery. This like a less over the top version of the Flair Bash At The Beach match. A lot of heat on Sherri who is the lynchpin to any Savage offense: the robe, two distractions, tripping and foreign object. Savage is great in this but much like Flair in 94 takes a backseat to Sherri. His charisma is off the charts wildman throwing chairs to stalling to way he throws himself into every bump and move. Hogan is still a lot of fun and energetic loved the shine once he took of Macho Man robe. 89 WWF is not as gritty as 86 WWF and while this is fun not as good as that original series. Savage gets to outside after big boot. Hogan gets caught up with Sherri and Savage shoves him into railing and beats the count. Sherri of course puts the belt on him. Hogan does the double noggin knocker to get some commuppance on Sherri to send crowd home HAPPY but setting up rematches. Perfectly fine fun Hogan WWF main event. ***1/4
