One Man Gang vs Hulk Hogan Texas 1987

Now before I get to the match I have to say. Pete Doherty and Mike McGirk are the worst announce team in the history of eanything. You know the two guys who announce your local high school football games? They are worse. You know when AC Slter turns down the sound on his tv and does play by play? They are much much worse.

Doherty is some career jobber they put on commentary. He does this horrible impression of a drunk guy doing an impression of Burgess Merieth. McGirk is terrible. She is just awful. I really have no idea why they hired her. Because she is not attractive enough to be that bad. She does not seem to get the simple concept of "Do not bury the heel wrestling Hogan!!!"


The match itself was good. Hogan and Gang had a good series of matches in late 87. They never bothered to shoot an angle. They just had Gang winning squash matches and never getting knocked off his feet. But they still drew really well. You should check it out. Its a good prime Hogan by the numbers match.

Now this was a great brawl. So much stuff in it. Hogan handcuffs Slick to the ring post. Strutts and dances outside and slaps Slick in the head, then high fiving a kid. This continues for several minates. Til Bossman gets back on offense. The match keeps going back in forth. Bossman hits the side slam out nowhere. Im not going to say anymore. But check it out. You will see why this series drew so well.

At some point it appears Gang lost his mind. I like to imagine the whole thing was initiated by Gang being hit in the head with something heavy. Like Fred Flintstone getting a new personality. Well this is the SNME rematch with Bossman. Nice little match. With Akeem playing 500 pound pinball for Bossman. Then getting the advantag and mauling Bosman for a bit. ossman actually get a hulk up spot. Which shows how over Bossman was. He again hits the Bossman slam out of nowhere. Before Ted Dibiase and Virgil attack.

For a brief shining period. The One Man Gang was United States champion. You could tell how thrilled he was to have the belt too. On this episode of Saturday Night. He wrestles Super Giant Ninja. Who looks suspiciously like Ron Studd wearing the Yeti suit. It doesnt go long but a fun squash. Plus Dusty on commentary.
