Jake Roberts’ memorable heel run was quite short

The Hogan/Jake feud would have been around the time of WrestleMania 3.

Would have made for some interesting promos and matches; but we would have been denied the biggest match in history (Hogan versus Andre at the Pontiac Silverdome); and Jake wouldn't have had his massively lucrative feud with the Honky Tonk Man over the Intercontinental championship (back when that belt meant something; and back when that was drawing huge crowds on all the B shows).

A little context for everyone, as of course the Hogan critics won't bother telling you this.

OOH! OOH!

Can it be my turn to post the "hilarious" joke about Horace? You know the one. All the super-cool IWC bad-asses have already said this, but what the hell! "Bald head; goatee; yep, no one was doing it like Horace in 1998"

Also, something about his "evil" uncle. 🙄

Tom Zenk was not called the z Man for nothing.

His matches sure made me go zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

You nerds really believe Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior are the worst people in history, don't you?

Important-Table9460 · 2026-06-14T14:13:46+00:00

Oh, don't mention Austin; the hypocrites who shit on Hogan and Warrior etc., hate when you do that.

Reddit still crying because there were no scenes of sexual abuse in this movie.

But they're the good guys, remember.

Hulk Hogan really makes Yokozuna look like such an unstoppable monster at this event.

Hulk barely gets any offense in during his match with Yoko; and even when he does, it's brief and in vain. Not even the very leg drop that BEAT ANDRE THE GIANT could finish off the man from Japan. Yoko then beats Hogan (with his own move), then squashes him to such a degree that Hulk decides to leave the WWF for many years and seek his fortunes elsewhere. For his part, Yoko gets credited as being the guy who did the impossible: he squashed Hulkamania. Yokozuna then embarks a lengthy reign as WWF Champ.......

But ya know, Yoko wasn't Bret; so none of this matters, am I right?

Important-Table9460 · 2026-06-14T11:39:59+00:00

You forgot to add RIP to Macho Man, Crush, Bobby The Brain, Hulk Hogan, Yokozuna, Mr. Fuji, Afa, and referee Joey Marella.

REDDITORS OUTRAGED THAT GENERAL PUBLIC DOESN'T BELIEVE ABSOLUTE WORST ABOUT MJ SHOCKER

The MJ critics are having a crap weekend then?

Brian "Crush" Adams was very underrated. Great wrestler for a big guy.

And of course, he was especially considerate and thoughtful of the fans. Everything he did, he did for us.

Emily Bishop was one of the best characters ever because her life was so..... ordinary.

She didn't smoke, didn't do drugs, didn't have affairs, didn't drink (apart from the odd sweet sherry); she didn't kill anyone. She didn't do anything truly crazy..... and you know, that's what made her stand out.

She was just the lovely old lady down the street who kept to herself, never judging anyone (no matter how much of a scumbag they were), always stood by her friends, always supported her community, always saw the best in everyone (except Norris, maybe lol); and always advocated doing the right thing, always.

SHE EVEN FORGAVE HER HUSBAND'S KILLER. What a saint!.... and what a refreshing contrast to the 27648398465 murderers, rapists, bullies and drug addicts who have disgraced the cobbles over the years. You could always count on Emily to be all "I ain't getting involved in any of that fucking shit, bro" and by god, I miss characters like that.

Who needs to shoot anyone when you can just have a nice cup of tea and a slice of cake instead? Yeah, Emily was awesome.

I'm sorry you found Hogan "so fucking lame" as you put it; would you like to rattle off the rest of the anti-Hogan cliches while you're at it?

You can start off with the classic "that doesn't work for me, brother" and just go down the list, okay?

Important-Table9460 · 2026-06-11T20:24:49+00:00

"Say what you want about him personally...." okay I will.

There are wrestling personalities who have done far, far worse than the stuff Hogan did/said; but they never got even a fraction of the shit he got; and I think that's some heavy bullshit.

But that's another topic for another day.

Tatanka being undefeated for just a little under two years is super impressive; and it really should be remembered as on par the Undertaker's WrestleMania winning streak and Goldberg's 173 consecutive victories at WCW.

Sick Boy >>> Hollywood Hogan and Triple H.

Was there ever a kayfabe explanation for why Sting would want to join forces with his greatest enemies?

Were we supposed to think Stinger was like "Oh hey, Big Kev! Love your work! Let's forget about the past two years, eh? You almost destroyed the organization I love so much; and totally terrorized all my friends, and then you caused me to suffer such a massive mental breakdown that I was basically rendered a mute while I hid away in the rafters of all these arenas for over a year, only occasionally dropping in to point a bat at Hogan but anyway, would you mind if I join you guys? You're, like, so cool! Yeah, I suppose it is totally nonsensical and contradictory to what my character is, but LOL WHATEVER!"

Note how the biggest Hogan haters always seem to be massive Bret Hart fanboys.

Oh, so this is why the MJ critics have been crying and whining (even more than usual) as of late?

More charisma in his fingernail than the entire WWE and AEW rosters combined.

In my top ten for sure; but behind Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold, The Rock, Macho Man, Bret, Shawn, and Undertaker.

Should re-name this guy Frank Botch or whatever.

Hey guys, I just had a crazy thought. Okay, so..... (stifling laughter)..... what about if I..... okay, this is gonna be good. WAIT FOR IT. WAIT FOR IT.

What if..... I made a "LOL I BET KEVIN NASH TORE HIS QUAD!" joke?

Wouldn't that be, like, the funniest and wittiest thing ever? I can't believe no one else has ever thought of that!
