THE HISTORY OF HULKAMANIA |
Hulk Hogan will always be known as the biggest star ever in the world of wrestling. Hulkamania started when Hulk hogan played the part of Thunder Lips 'the ultimate man' in Stallones classic Rocky 3 co-starring with Mr.t who was playing the part of Clubber Lang. After that smash movie the Hulksters popularity began to grow and Vince Mcmahon (WWF owner) reversed Hogans image from a heel into a face. His first title was the WWF championship which he won on the 24th of january 1984 by defeating The Iron Sheik, in this match Hogan broke out of the camel clutch (then a new move invented by eddie guerroes dad) which was then an astonishing fete. Hogan retained this belt for four succesful years many opponents challenged including The million dollar man and macho man randy savage, his biggest defense came at wrestlemania 3 against the eighth wonder of the world Andre the giant. In this match 93,000 fans reached for the sky when Hogan reached for the heavens and slammed the eight foot giant. Hogan went on to lose the title to Andre the giant who attempted to sell the most prestigous title in sports entertainment to the million dollar man this was intervened by the WWf, who then made a tournament for the belt. Macho man randy Savage went on to win the titke after Hogan and Andre were disqualified for unsports manship conduct. A brief time passed while Savage was champ when Hogan and he were a team called the Mega Powers a feud other Elizabeth ended this and Hogan had a shot at regainig the title at wrestlemania 5 and won, beginning his second reign as champion. In another great match Hogan lost the title to The Ultimate warrior (who then was IC champ). The warrior went on to lose the title to Sargeant Slaughter, beginning one of the greatest feuds in the WWF Hogan .vs. Slaughter. Slaughter then was acting as a traitor to his country supporting the Iraqs during the golf war, Hogan the american hero was to put an end to this at wrestlemania 7 where he defeated Slaughter. The rematch to this was at UK Rampage where again Hogan came out the victor. Making his first appereance to the WWf The Undertaker won the title stopping Hogans third title reign. Hogan days later at his rematch for the title defeated The Undertaker, but left later to begin his movie career. The title was up for grabs now at Royal Rumble 1992 which Ric Flair won . For the last time Hogan won the Title by defeating Yokozuna (R.I.P) in 9 seconds, he then lost the title a few weeks later to Yokozuna. Hogan was then fired by Vince Mcmahon. Hogan then joined WCW the arch rivals to WWf and won the title in his first match by defeating Ric Flair. Hogan now a heel was practically the champion all the time during his time at WCW and never went back to being a face. Vince Mcmahon has now brought the rites to WCW. |

Oh yeah Hogan had the honour (or Mr.t had the honour) to team up with Mr.t in a tag match against Rowdy Roddy Piper and Paul 'Mr. Wonderful' Orndoff at wrestlemania 1. In this match boxing legend Muhammad Ali was the referee. Obviously Hogan and the T came out the victors. |
