Did you think Hogan may go over?
yes.
So did I.
That's excellent booking and talent to the wrestlers involved when you know that the Rock has to go over but you start thinking that Huckster might do it.
What other times you can you think of this happening?
aww, you guys love hogan, too
i actually had a very similar reaction to the hogan/warrior match. same kinda hope during, same kinda letdown after. granted, i was like 10 or 11 at the time, but it was still the same type of thrill ride match. i watched it recently, and it really doesn't hold up very well at all (not true of the rock/hogan match, which i think still plays great 7 years later) but at the time i remember thinking the hogan/warrior match was so very awesome, and could have gone either way.
my two favorite hogan matches are hogan losses!
Your example brings up another question as to which to categorise the match - was it a match that you had no idea who would go over or was it a match that you knew who would win but begun to doubt yourself because of the booking?
When we first watched that match as kids, I think it was probably safe to say, we had no idea who would win.
Watching it now, it would make sense to think that Warrior go over but half way through you do have to ask yourself again, if you might be right!
You love those Hogan matches because Hogan really milks the crowd - I thibk he went a bit over the top with the Rock! Offering the Rock his shaking hand...., I didn't know Hogan had epilepsy!
Warriors and Macho Mans retirement match was also the latter, it made sense that the Warrior would go over but after all those flying elbows!
