This was a great show. I loved this show. In my mind, Hogan vs Shawn 1 had set the bar so high that I dont think doing more matches would have been the best. Matt was so brought back for a couple of reasons, 1. to capitalize on real life stuff thanks to Stephanie and 2, pressure from fans.

The best at what? Wrestling or drawing money? At the end of the day, Vince was all about the money. Shawn wasn't a draw. Hogan was. Doesn't matter how many flips and dives you can do if you can't get people to buy a ticket. Hogan was at one time, the best at making money for Vince. Can't say the same about HBK.

All this might’ve happened by the time Nash planned to leave but it definitely also happened while he was still in the company. Plus HBK brought Nash to the WWF in 93. HBK was and still is highly regarded as one of the best in the ring, even going back to WM8 in 92 where Heenan said he’ll be the star of the 90s. And he was. He would’ve been whether Nash & Hall were in WWF or not

"I've lost more matches than I won"...tell that to every guy that wrestled in WWF from '84-'90 He never lost to triple H, the rock was already over without needing to be put over by a 49-year-old hogan. Now he did lose more in WCW than he did in WWF but he's certainly won more matches than he lost

[@pikkon899]

That "49 year old Hogan" came back and dwarfed The Rock's reactions and as a heel, technically speaking and at Wrestlemania. The problem with his WWF run in the 80's is that he was the top guy. Obviously he's going to win because the company was based around Hogan, the top draw. He lost more WCW, where he was prior to coming back. I'm not defending Hogan but come on now. Look at the context. That's a direct reference to his WCW career. Everyone knows Hogan won more in the 80's. As far as Triple H is concerned, now we care about Triple H? First it's Triple H burying guys but now "Hogan never lost to Triple H" Come on now, really? Hogan was more over than both of them during that time. Both Shawn and Hogan are notorious for being insecure. Who cares?

[@shanehart1520]

Hogan actually said he has lost more matches than he won in “ The last 15 years” which is true. He put alot of people over when he came back in 02. I think this was both a Shawn and Hogan ego issue. This match could of been alot more special.

[@coresan9956]

@@shanehart1520 it was an ego issue. And in the last 15 years ok sure, because 15 years ago he was in his 50s and I hope in his head he wasnt thinking of going over in his matches. I agree that match could have been dope with Shawn being the dick heel and taking bumps for hogan. And a 2 out of 3 could have worked. Even 2 matches and maybe have a heel team interfere thus turning shawn face again and reaming with hogan. And you could have had the backstop of hogan not trusting Shawn this time

[@pikkon899]

@@coresan9956 It was the right time for him to put people over. He was the top heel in WCW and he reinvented himself as well. He was white hot during the 80's. It didn't make sense for him to put people over like he did in WCW as the Champ and top draw. It's 3 different eras.

I’ve always heard that the plan was to have Matt come out on top and become a top babyface, but the terrible worked shoot promo he cut (where he said that he wanted Edge to die in a car wreck) and Edge’s response to that promo a week later (which is looked at as the promo that pushed him into the main event) caused Vince to lose all confidence in Matt and that’s why Edge squashed him

[@BrandonMobley614]

I'm gonna start this off by saying Bret Hart is one of the best of all time, top three in any serious fan's discussion. He gave his life for the business. I'll admit I'm a little biased because I'm a Texas boy, but Shawn walking down to the ring in a suit and pink tie, yelling "Who's your daddy, Montreal?" and then the promo that followed, is my favorite promo of all time. Just like Conrad eluding to Wade Keller's write up in the torch, it was a throwback to the old arrogant Shawn, but without being unnecessarily crude or obscene. The man was born again, straight and narrow, but for those ten minutes, the cocky, arrogant primadonna who ran his mouth off to the wrong marine that night in Syracuse, and alienated the entire locker room sans the Kliq in the mid to late 90s.

[@mattm7798]

Agreed. shows you can cut a great "edgy" promo" without going in the gutter. I think some people want to dislike Shawn so much they will latch on to ANY slip up on his part post 2002 and say "See, see, he hasn't changed". To those people I say "look in the mirror pal...Shawn was a Christian, not perfect. He definitely changed but still had the same drive he did before and is human. Honestly, throw out all the testimony of friends and his almost entire body of work post 2002...the fact that he only won the title once, for less than 30 days post 2002 tells you he changed."

This full said a domoniq on. A pole match

[@pmfg11]

I wouldn't make fun of Pole Matches when I'm the one behind the shitty creative on TV today like "Retribution" and fantastic characters like Mantaur, The Goon, TL Hopper, etc... but that's just me

Shut up. Pedro

[@jaserogers997]

Ffs just discuss something! Literally just skimming over notes. Take a tangent and get Bruce to elaborate on SOMETHING

[@eabcool]

entertaining episode. The Eddie- Ray stuff was funny. Never watched this ppv though. Huckster and Michaels are in different universes to me and never wanted to see it

First time ever I am really disappointed with your podcast. All the trash read about Hogan from the news letters, not once did Bruce comment on that. The things he commented on was the out come of the match, what was planned etc. It felt like Bruce did not want to comment quite frankly. But that is just me

i felt the same way.... its not good.....bad job by conrad

[@berkajr3685]

@@sxhbk I am really not a Hogan hater, but it would have been nice if Bruce would have addressed all the dirt sheet writings occurring. He did with some, a few, but not much at all. So the question remains, who was difficult to deal with, and why? How much as accurate in the news letters?

Poor podcast and totally agree. Maybe best days are behind this now. Bruce won't move from his fench
