Pretty basic "Monster Heel v. Hogan" match that I enjoyed as a throwback to an era where you could run off that cycle for years as your superstar champion faces all comers.  This is Kamala's first run in the WWF.  Leading in to this match, he hasn't been pinned.  He uses a tooth of some sort to bloody up Hogan.  Hogan gets beat up for a while, Hulks Up, drops the leg, and poses in the ring.  The Kamala gimmick is interesting to watch as it was definitely of its time, and would never exist today.

WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan vs Kamala - WWF Boston 12/6/86

Love their MSG series and this did not disappoint! Kamala is someone who I always love to watch but don’t seek out enough. I love Kamala tripping on the leapfrog whether a work or shoot either way to gets over the raw, untrained aspect of the gimmick. They really put over Kamala’s strength early winning those shouldertackle battles. Hogan Cant slam the Ugandan Giant yet. Kamala lots of his basic but effective offense the chops and thrust kicks and the like. He misses. Hogan starts throwing bombs But he can’t get the Ugandan Giant off his feet. He really throws a lot of heavy artillery at him and can’t get him down which I loved. Friday distracts. Wizard passes the Horn to Kamala who stabs Hogan in the forehead with it. Wicked Blade Job. Kamala just goes to work on the cut, chops and gnawing it. He even manhandles Hogan in a way you never rally see with the Double Gozzle. KAMALA SPLASH! 1-2-NO! I think I know Whats next! HULK-UP! It is a beauty too with the Hulkster covered in blood throwing those haymakers! BODYSLAM! DROPS THE LEG! Awesome! I like the No DQ match in MSG more but this is right up there with the first MSG match ****
