Hogan didnt go directly to WCW from WWF. He left to film movies, believe it was "Thunder in Paradise" and WCW (specifically Bischoff & Flair) courted him to go to over there.
Wow I didn’t know they filmed promos like this after King of the Ring promoting Hogan wanting revenge. As far as I remembered, after King of the Ring he was gone from WWF. They probably did this to help sell house show tickets for that UK tour
I believe his deal was limited to so much TV & 2 PPVs and the Tour, he’d fulfilled his TV/PPV dates and then he did a tour of Europe after KOTR facing Yokozuna on many occasions then was done with the WWF after that.
@@OikPoinFive Actually Hogan dominated the matches. Mr.Fuji had to come into the ring, to break up Hogan's pin on Yokozuna. Yokozuna didn't move, he was flat out.
It’s actually nice to see this, even though Hogan was so done with wrestling and the WWF at this point. He was doing Japan tours and since he was already working for Turner as an actor; he probably was waiting to see if a payday was coming and he went to WCW. Ironically, even though Hogan was buried on US TV and Luger was pushed as the new guy; Hogan dominated the UK tour and would have won the title back if Fuji hadn’t jumped in to interfere. That is how those European and UK tour matches were booked.
nostalgia, Yoko was likely pinning Hogan cleanly all over the map. Fuji wasn't the least bit worried about any of the matches between the two. His man was so much more powerful. When Hulk couldn't budge Yoko an inch, it meant that he'd eventually get the fantastic Bonsai Splash. Hogan's tough talk meant he'd leave the arena on a stretcher.
This was after he already lost the title for the final time, his UK tour was his last work for WWF, and I read another comment said of the 11 shows hogan won 10... probably count out and disqualification.
@@michaelbull4344 Hogan was just about done with wrestling at that time.. He didn't want the hefty schedule especially going overseas for so many dates, he wanted the easier payday of Hollywood until Turner got hold of him and promised him so much more than WWF could give him for a lighter schedule plus the dream match with Flair that was never properly booked in the WWF
A lot of people don't know this, but it was supposed to be Hulk vs Bret at SummerSlam...Hulk thought it would be better if he lost to a heel...because of what happened with Ultimate Warrior...
After this tour, Hogan did the Thunder in paradise T.V. Show. Fuji was funny, telling Hogan stop living in the past, think about your future in Television, then WCW, as the Huckster, aka Hollywood Hogan.
I never knew this took place. I thought after their match at King of the Ring, Hogan was done right after that. I didn’t know he wrestled Yoko in a tour.
Yep. He even wrestled at a WWF TV taping the night after King of the Ring in an un-aired match. He tagged with Brutus to face Money Inc. It's on RUclips somewhere. June 14, 1993.
If only they had those "In Your House" ppvs back in 93!!!??? Then we'd get Yoko v Hulk III for wwf belt @ that July international IYH! But would still end in dq win for hulk. Like may 1995 IYH where diesel beat Sid by a dq.
If i knew how damn tight n close Hulk Hogan was with afa n sika back then i would have been happy yokozuna won 😂 hulk Hogan pass the belt to his family hulk Hogan is the original honorary uso of the bloodline
@@bdot187um He stopped in late 1991. Watch WM7 against Slaughter. He is still completely jacked at 300 pounds. But starting in late '91 at Survivor Series, you can see him start to shrink. A few months later at WM8, he's probably 260 at best.
@@Nostalgicguy2242technically hogan never got his win back on tv, and all wins were house dqs to protect yoko and to save face for hogan on his way out.
@@jonstefanik9400, Yoko was the superior wrestler. Hogan even admitted to losing to the very powerful star of sumo. Yes, Hogan was likely to leave the arena in a stretcher in spite of all the tough talk in promos. Fuji likely loved all the defeats for Hulkamania.
What a stupid ending at King of the Ring 1993. Hulk should have watched out from that fireball which is illegal, but instead Yokozuna cheated instead of getting disqualified because that dumbass referee distracted, let alone Hulkster not having raw strength and wrestling like a real wimp. If I was you, I'd knock that boobie trap photographer off the ring and triumph as a strong American hero. Instead you let him walk away and piss off every hulkamaniac there is
@@Heroesworkshop In his stomach area yes, his arms however were always ripped and pretty damn big. Hulk's 6'7 frame looked alot better like that than a beanpole, especially given his "strongman" character.
Yeah but he Lost because tgata how vince abd Wwe are. Wgen a wrwstker is leavung Wwe. They make him Lose & don't matter if Nash or Scotthall or hogan are stronger abd taller. I remember they gave wins to hbk & tripple hhh. So its weird. Vince always does scams and unfair things
King of the ring, my hometown of Dayton ohio, Hogan jobs to Yoko to go to wcw because he wouldn't job to, his words not mine, a midget, i.e. Bret hart lol🤣🤣🤣 true story folks.
He didn’t job to go to WCW,he quit wrestling after the European Tour & some Japan dates. Hogan was done, he was burnt out and he had Thunder in Paradise. WCW didn’t come knocking until early 1994 & it actually took a lot to convince Hulk to return to the ring.
@@Bobbywoodhogan it took a Pro Wrestling Illustrated magazine cover that featured the "dream match" of Hogan vs Flair on the cover for him to return to the ring
I find Hogans schtick "cool". The Hulk Hogan revolution AKA Hulkamania that promotes training, prayers and vitamins was the coolest gimmick in Pro wrestling history. His superhero like cartoonish badass promos, his iconic hulking physical appearance. The catchphrases.. he had all the ingredients to be the best. Roman reigns and modern superstars are the true kings of cringe. They talk like they're highschool students trying to remember their lines in front of a classroom. And also they are very generic and have no style.

Nick, Yoko was more powerful. Fuji knew it and loved it.
Hogan's last appearance on WWE TV before jumping ship to WCW the following year.

It was WWF
@@Nostalgicguy2242 no really??
Hulk Hogan actually tour in New Japan Pro Wrestling in September 1993 and January 1994 so he had a few matches before retiring

Hogan was still working international house shows as late as a few weeks before SummerSlam
Hearing Fuji say DUDE was awesome lol
0:42 "the REAL world's champion" reminds me of the Ric Flair thing in late 1991
Yesss!
Life's ironies, all those years he'd meant so much to American WWF fans, Hogan's last televised appearance of his prime run was in the UK.
I was at the show in Edinburgh. It was a great card too. Got some photos that I need to scan from the event and upload somewhere.

Blame it on babyface Jimmy Hart.. classic heel Jimmy would have cloacked Fuji with the megaphone..
Mr. Fuji was legit laughing at Hogan saying” they won’t be able to bring Yoko a bowl of Ricearoni…😂

@@valuecalcu obsessed crazy on fat yoko. Luger couldn't do what hulk did: pin yoko
I was at the London event. Hogan beat Yokozuna by DQ after Fuji jumped in and broke up the pin.
Hogan popped Fuji with the ricearoni comment
Lol so glad we got this in the British Isles lol
Hogan was just building up to job to Yokozuna since his time here was almost up in wwe

Hogan the biggest polition in all of wrestling. Always got his way
@@edge803 don't hate the player, hate the game.
This has to be the absolute tiniest I've ever seen Hogan. He's tall, but the skinniest he's ever been.
Well he was right, he was 6 times WWF Champion, just 10 years later. Also last WWF Champion an first WWE Champion due to the name change
Would have been weird if hulk won the wwf title again for the 6th time later in 1993 and again from yoko a 2nd time! LOL
Nice bit of hardly seen wrestling gold
Hogan with the rice a Roni jab 😂 definitely wouldn't fly today
Dont you mean fry
I miss those days.

Neither would all the "Pearl Harbor" comments

Pearl Harbour riceroni Hogan was just legendary
I’m not racist brother!!!
was this interview after he lost against Yokozuna on king of the Ring?
yes
of course since before then yoko only had the title for a few minutes at wrestlemania 9
I mean...Yoko has the belt doesn't he? Kind of answers your question
@@AnEternalEnigmai know but in KOTR he was so humiliated, now he acts like nothing happened. Because of this i was not sure
Hulk sounds like a bully
How can you bully a 500 pound gaint?😂
DEAR GOD GIVE US BACK RODNEY ANOAI AKA YOKOZUNA AND WILL GIVE U TONY GRAVES !!!!

I had no idea this existed. I assumed Hulk left after the King Of The Ring 93.
Why didn't they sell this to the United States? A ppv or something! I rather would of seen a hulk hogan rematch then Summerslam 93!

Hogan had a deal that had X amount of TV dates and they already reached them so they just put him on live events until they met all the dates
"Will probably be" ? Lol.
He was better on coke. IF he had transitioned to meth like a real man hulkamania would be alive today.
YOKOZUNA ENDED HULK A MANIA
jdriguez00 , he did.
He sure did
No he didn't the follow up matches like this eu tour they wrestled a lot and Hogan beat him more times
yes he did 💪🏾
@@avalond1193 Means nothing because Yoko kept the title which is defeat in Hogan's eyes.

He fouled that up unless it was a diss
I was at Sheffield
I could’ve sworn that hulk Hogan left the WWF after he was screwed out of the WWF championship at The king of the ring 1993
I didn't know they had a rematch. What happened?
It was a 2 weeks European tour.
@@spockb1186 What happened in the match? Did Yoko win fair? Was it telivised?
@@jamesmuller1481The match happened at non-televised house shows. I think all of them saw Hogan win via disqualification when Fuji interfered.
