Hulk Hogan & Roddy Piper vs Ric Flair & Sid Justice - WWF 3/9/92

I pulled a Parv and watched the wrong match. I wanted to watch the MSG match and assumed that would be the only one on Dailymotion but I had my suspicions with how the ring was lit and all the banners. Oh well. This match sucked and do not really have the appetite for another one even if it Is the better one.

If I call out the modern day wrestlers for exposing the business and looking phony, I gotta call out Piper and Sid for working light as fuck and whiffing by a country mile. Now one thing these four have in spades is charisma. The thing today’s wrestlers could learn from these four is how to have fun in the ring and not everyone has to be so damn serious.

Pretty standard Flair shine here usual spots you’d expect against Piper. The shoving, the fired up shitty punching from Piper, the eye poke, the bumps, the Flair Flip into the big boot. Flair lures Hogan to the big man! I will say this A for effort on the grand sweeping body language. They are hamming it up. They go right into heat on Hogan. I have never understood the complaint Hogan doesn’t sell enough, the dude sells way too quickly and overkill.  Sid’s work on top is atrocious. Hogan finally gets one over on Sid. Piper’s advantage on Sid doesn’t last long as Sid needs to work in the headlock->headscissors-> KIP UP spot baby! He blasts Piper with a clothesline he is proud of himself. They work an FIP on Piper. We see a terrible chair shot by Sid on Piper. Piper slams Flair off the top as is customary. They do a great amateur scramble for Piper to get the tag. Standard Hogan/Flair finish. Sid ones up himself and hits the worst chair shot on Hogan. Hogan hulks up. There is a melee and somehow Hogan hits an Axe Bomber on the World Champ Flair to win. Really strange. 
 

On paper sounds cool as fuck and maybe the MSG match is better but it may be a couple years before I find it as this left a bad taste in my mouth.
