"I'm not giving Hogan a hard time, he's giving me a hard time." great line

[@tylerdaviau4069]

Bischoffe: "Hey Hulkster, I'm going to need you to make Arne look good and maybe take a couple bumps." Hogan: "A bump?? I don't have anymore blow."

[@angelaarmie5789]

LOL

[@AndreNDP]

That's totally unrealistic! ... You didn't say "brother", "jack" or "dude" ONCE!

[@sleepalaska]

@Herp Derp brother*** you gotta have the RRR in there.

[@xenaires]

Love it!!!!

[@lunaitc]

That's a goddamn lie, the Hulkster never ran out of blow.

[@punishedgondola1814]

I literally watch it every day. Great stuff, Ryan!

[@DigitalBath742]

Yo, dude, I just wanted to let you know that I am suffering from depression at the moment and I am finding things that I used to love I no longer care for. Reliving the War is the single thing I anticipate every week and gives me something to look forward. Keep up the excellent work.

[@quinnbarlow4326]

Hope you are doing well brother

[@RyoUrawa777]

I say Option 2 I liked that last special episode lol

[@rogermorris9696]

Hogan is a prime example of why giving creative control to talent when you know they are total ego maniacs.

[@seanmcgrath3826]

Hulk Hemorrhoid, erm, I mean Hogan, is the poster child for keeping creative control away from the talent...

[@louiswales8700]

@@mitchellalexander9162 Cody has been doing a fantastic job of putting younger talent over even when winning though. Sonny kiss, Ricky Starks and War Horse all looked like legit competitors and we all thought Jungle Boy might win. Hogan couldn't be assed to sell for an established guy like Arn Anderson.

[@malikevans2615]

@@louiswales8700 cody having competitive matches against jokes like kiss and warhorse ruins any credibility he's trying to build

[@InsomniacRocker]

9:21 Amen to that! Jim Johnson doesn't get near the credit he deserves for all those classic entrances he composed, played and produced!

Option 2. I can’t wait to see the NWO DX days.

[@nachiketdaithankar4405]

Feels like it's been a long time since we saw a Raw V Nitro episode.Cant wait to watch this one❤️

I felt the same way when I watched the first Raw match this week :)

[@nachiketdaithankar4405]

[@charliebowen5071]

There was one last week just slightly different!?!?

[@liamnguyen2819]

I'm gonna have to go with Option 2. By covering the unopposed specials, it allows for the series to be prolonged which imo is a good. Really enjoying Reliving The War.

[@Atroz7]

Reliving the War is becoming "Remembering how overrated Hulk Hogan is"

[@kylsie]

Any review of wrestling from after 91 becomes exactly that

[@maodijong3661]

By the end of this year, the same so called overrated Hogan would revive wrestling in the US.

[@SlaytanicSuperstarr]

He didnt revive wrestling, his charisma made him popular, but it was multiple things that revived wrestling.

[@EssexAggiegrad2011]

@Sassys Dad He's overrated

[@Marc_Masters]

He is overrated

[@firewalkwithme101]

I’d prefer option 2, covering the unopposed RAW episode in detail. Love this series!

[@marndt8448]

“Hogan gives me a hard time in these videos” lol, that made me chuckle. Don’t fret Wrestling Bios, you’re not alone in feeling that way. ;)

[@mentalphilanthropist35]

'you've got it all wrong, hogan gives me a hard time', that's the absolute truth brother! 👏👏👏 BTW option two booker-man!

[@TripleSWeb]

Option 2 please. I really love not only reliving the war but reliving my childhood as well :)

[@coreybrooks3031]

Sullivan's booking vs Hogan's creative control is the best WcW rivalry during this time

[@frankrizzo7713]

Haha I think WWE would kill for a 2.9 rating these days.

[@DasKame]

Mass Murder for an 2.6 i bet

[@beefcake9339]

What do they average today?

[@GorditoCrunch343]

@@beefcake9339 Barely a 1.0 rating.

That Hogan match looks like a "Billionaire Ted" sketch! 😳

[@joiekelly3141]

People always talk about the big boot and Leg Drop, but his back scratch was a thing of beauty.

[@axeoseilez3207]

I wouldn't mind a in depth episode on the unopposed Raw because it feels more like we are traveling back in time. And I enjoy your thoughtful commentary and observation on this era.

[@joshuamoore8237]

I love reliving the "good ol' days" of wrestling and watching the build up to some of the greatest moments. Good stuff guy keep it up.
