Hulk Hogan outside of his formula style

By Scott Keith on 28 February 2023




Hogan really had his working boots on when he went to Japan. Amazing that McMahon didn’t want him working a faster pace in North America.

Obviously the formula was a huge financial success, but it’s fun to wonder how pro wrestling would have evolved differently had Hogan wrestled a faster style like in these clips.

What do you think might have been different if the Hogan-as-WWF-champ run in the early 80s included matches like this: https://twitter.com/wrestleclips/status/1630002145113112576
He probably would have suffered hip degeneration even faster to be honest. If anything he should have worked SLOWER. Probably would have given him another 5 years.
