Jason M. Yeah, it must be Terry Bollea lying, because Hulk Hogan doesn’t lie, brother. He also doesn’t bury younger talent and exercise creative control relentlessly. That was also Terry Bollea and not the Hulk, brother.
True but it was a great moment for the Undertaker since that match helped Undertaker's character more. I have to thank Jake The Snake Roberts for that. It was different type of match. A more slow pace mythological one.
The Programs going into WM 8 were actually decent, Flair/Savage had a great program and decent match, Piper and Hart had a GREAT match with a *very* limited program. And the Hogan/Sid program was actually pretty good- and believe it or not, the Warrior run-in SAVED that match.

In fact I would get so mad that Yoko kept winning & Bret wasn’t ever able to win the title. But that’s what made it so sweet when Bret finally got the title back.
FLORIDA GATOR IDK if I’d say it was great but it was a lot better than IX.

I still think this worked out better for Bret. Yoko was on the rise and we needed a dominant heel to be champ for a while. At the time, no heel had ever left WM as champion, so having Hogan go over to end the show on some nonsense was fine since Hogan jobbed out to Yoko at KOTR, further building Yoko's clout by ending Hulkamania. Bret, on the other hand, had to rebuild and earn his title shot over the next year. His KOTR performance was top notch and he had the three best matches on the card (maybe of the year). He wrestled two matches at SummerSlam against two different styles, and started his Owen feud at Survivor Series, wrestled a tag match at RR and won the RR, jobbed to Owen in the best opening match at WM en route to getting his rematch at WM X against the unstoppable Yokozuna (who had taken out Hogan, an undefeated Tatanka, Undertaker, Lex Luger, and anyone else in his way). Bret going through all of this put him over way more than Hogan passing him the torch could have, and besides, Hogan didn't owe Bret anything. If you need Hogan to put you over, you're just admitting that Hogan is a bigger star.
Both Savage and Hogan should've put Bret over, and Flair too, (on ppv not some lame house show.). The credentials of those 3 big wins alone would've given him the rub his character then needed. Without any torch being passed, he had to prove his own worth despite it. And he did just that.
@@Buckdawg too right, I've always said had Bret beaten Hogan then after Hogan hands him the belt, big handshake, crowd goes wild, Bret's profile would've rocketed. Piper helped him get up the ladder with his passing of the torch at IC level yet Hogan wouldn't.
I was thinking this too. As world champion Bret never got a PPV win over Hogan, Flair, or Savage, even though all of them were in the company. His record also included losing to Yoko who got beat in 30 seconds by Hogan, getting pinned clean by Owen Hart at Wrestlemania X. Just another part of their f-ing terrible booking from that period.
Hulk Hogan was not on tour after Wrestlemania but after King of the Ring. The Hulkamania Tour was in July/August - I was in the audience in Munich. Already after losing the belt at King of the Ring. He won the matches against Yokozuna on the tour by DQ or count out (not sure). But Yoko kept the belt. And those matches in Europe were Hogans last matches for WWF.
you guys are all wrong... Check Bruce's book. Are we going to trust rumor and innuendo from random internet nobodies or Bruce fk'n prichard? Nice Bob Costas style "Gotcha Pal!" in a coordinated effort from you lot.
I was 5 ... And unfortunately the first mania I remember watching live is 9. I obviously @ 5 still thought it was real. Bret became the man to me. As a kid you are rooting for all the baby face characters Hogan was still one of my favorites but I was 5. Bret was the guy to me. I grew up knowing Bret more than Hogan being on TV. So when Hogan closed with ending it was like this feeling I’d now describe like... You started the night at the bar in a really good conversation with a 9. But at 2 am you leave with a 5...
I was born in 88. I had two guys growing up, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Sting. Those two were my guys when it came to wrestling. Steve Austin will always be the GOAT imo
And another thing Bruce! You think WRESTLEMANIA 8 was 1 of the worst!! Are you fucking kidding me?? 3 AMAZING matches that say you are wrong. TAKER VS THE SNAKE! HOTROD VS HITMAN AND FLAIR VS SAVAGE!!! OH & even though SID VS HOGAN was the visuals CRAP as kid to see the skinny ass not so ULTIMATE WARRIOR run in & return was awesome!!
Ok, I didn't listen until end, to be honest. To make it complete: He won in an awful house show bout over Yokuzuna by count out. Even as a kid I was disappointed by the match. Ten minutes of kicking, punching, rest holds, choking and hulking up. ;-)
Hulk did go overseas in July and August for a Euro Tour to face Yokozuna (as champ) in Vienna, Dortmund, Offenbach, Munich (sell out), Berlin, Edinburgh, London, Toulon, and Sheffield (his final WWF match).
@@MaynardOwns Because it would have made no sense for the champion to be beaten and defeated in the middle of the ring just before going into a one hour iron man match at the biggest event of the year to pass the torch the the next top guy just so Undertaker & Diesel's non main event, non title match would have "looked better"...the whole "Bret refused to take my finisher" bullshit is just Nash being a mark for himself...and just for the record, not one other person has come out and backed that story up
@@acidmack1041 yeah I agree. I think I left a detailed comment somewhere trying to workout the pros and cons of both sides of this alleged refusal to take powerbomb. Can't remember what my thoughts were exact but I do know came to the conclusion that Bret did the right thing not taking the bump.
This is purely speculative on my part, but it's entirely possible that they are both right. Hogan DID work on the European tour in the summer of 1993, after he had dropped the belt to Yoko. When did those tickets go on sale? Probably before Hogan had lost the title. So, if the idea was to help sell tickets by making Hogan WWF Champion, even though he would end up dropping the belt before the tour actually took place, that is entirely plausible.
The original plan I always heard was Bret was going to beat Yoko where the match would be in the middle of WM and Hogan and Beefcake were going to win the tag titles which would be the last match.
Even tho the guy who holds the World Title is a work, I can feel Bret on feeling some type of way about this situation. Was a terrible finish for a WrestleMania main event. If they wanted to hot shot the title to Hogan, they certainly could have done it a much better way. My two cents.
I don’t care what anyone says. I watched the event live. Anyone who says anything bad about Hulk because of the finish clearly wasn’t watching wrestling in 1993. The crowd erupted and it was one of the biggest pops in wrestling history. Everyone likes to put their spin on it, but at the time, I can’t remember ever being so excited about a finish to a match. Never before had the championship changed hands two times in one night, and it certainly never happened at WrestleMania.
conrad comes off like he was trying to catch bruce in something. its obv that was the idea and vince changed his mind so he lost the title earlier than he was expected. oh whats the big conspiracy?? so bruce remembers the meetings about Hogan and the European tours and then vince changed his mind. so its bruce fault? what is he trying to catch bruce in?
Yeah and remember, Bruce has to remember this shit from 26 years ago! If Bruce knew back in 1993 that one day he would be on something called a “podcast” being interviewed about all of this, I’m sure he would make sure to remember every detail lol
Jose Reyes The big conspiracy is that it looks like they made up any old excuse just to put the title on hogan as fast as possible. That wouldnt have sat well with other wrestlers.
A lot of people, myself included, just want the truth. "Hulk thought Bret was too small BROTHER and BROTHER he wouldn't give Bret Hart a chance, BROTHER." That's the truth. I'm sure Vince had his head up his ass too, but ultimately everyone knows Hulk had a hand in fucking Bret (and Yoko, really). We just want the truth, but Bret Hart must have shit in Bruce's toilet, and Shawn Michaels must have unclogged it, because the fat fuck seems to hate Bret for whatever reason and just won't tell the truth.
You know I can go the rest of my days rewatching wrestling from 92 to 99 and be content with that. This wrestling today I just can’t do it. I’ve tried. It’s too much forcing myself.
I love how so many people are on here saying "Bruce was wrong and got exposed." Well, Hogan was on that tour and Conrad has since admitted being wrong. Bruce had some of the details wrong but Hogan did wrestle Yoko on a house show on that tour. I'm pretty sure Bruce would know since he worked for the company during that time. I like both of these guys and they do a tremendous job, I just don't get why so many people are saying Bruce is wrong on this when there is proof that Hogan was on that tour. Just takes a little research
I thought Wrestlemania 9 was nowhere near the worst, and quiet liked it. The idea that it's the worst, is generally the opinion of the Meltzer marks and Indy marks. The ending as a one off, at that time was great, because you thought Hogan, who was still most people's favourite wrestler was leaving/having very little to do with the WWE, so it was an awesome moment to see him win the title back. The outdoor Arena in Las Vegas I thought was also cool. The only negative I'd have about the event was, a few too many matches ended in DQs. The last few Wrestlemania's have easily been worse than Wrestlemania 9. They've been painfully long to watch at 5+ hours, and most wrestlers we don't really care about, and the main events with Roman Reigns (whom I don't mind) as a face been boo'd by the crowd, versing another heel, has meant the mainevent's of the last few years have been completely flat and downers.
I love this bit of the Conrad-Bruce argument Bruce: "do you have my book there"? Conrad: "Your book says Hogan wasn't there" Bruce: "I don't believe you" Conrad: "HAHAHA"!
True. though I think even that early I had become a big Bret fan. I think if he had left with the belt I would have been happy. But at the time I did cheer when Hogan won the belt. Different now of course.
If the Hogan Wrestlemania 9 swerve didn't happen, would Bret have preferred instead turning bad, facing good Hogan, and losing the belt cleanly to Hulk? I don't think Bret would have preferred losing directly to Hulk Hogan.
Is it entirely possible that they put the title on Hogan for the European tour and then Hogan pulled something to get out of going? Hogans a pretty busy guy and he also seems like the type that won't do something if it doesn't benefit him in some way. Overall, it seems a little silly to argue with someone who was actually there because some random internet site says something differently. WWE was a private company back in '93, things like house shows weren't shared, so unless someone who worked for WWE in '93 is writing that site it's pretty fair to assume that there is probably a fair amount of information that's either skewed or missing.
Exactly. Because there's also Bret's account, that Summer Slam 93 was to be him against Hogan in a passing of the torch moment. They did promo shooting for that, allegedly a poster existed and WWF magazine reported on such a match (in a "who would win" scenario). If Bret got that right (or even the "back to Yoko on KotR" wasn't the plan from the beginning), it would have made sense to put the belt on Hogan for the July tour. He would have been champion. then things were changed before KotR, putting Bret against Lawler and Hogan moving out.
Bruce still kayfabes. Very often. Sometimes its obvious and sometimes its not. Pretty much any time he goes into "I was there, they weren't", he's in a corner.
Vince McMahon in highschool talking to his gf: Vince: "I think we should take things in a new direction" GF: "Are you breaking up with me" Vince: "no, we're just going in a new direction. separate directions. but it's still onward and upward for you!"
Yup I think the build up was in several wrestling magazines. Just googled some images and found them. So that proves that was the original idea and then Hogan backed out of it.
* 22 years ago in 1993, the WWF ended the European tour with a card at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.It signified the end f an era because it was the last match Hulk Hogan worked as part of the decade-long run that changed the WWF forever.
James Richardson exactly plus Conrad knows the deal he brings up the b.s. rumor & innuendo so it can be finally put to rest. Not because he's got the wrong info. Am I right? Or am I right? We're right. Right?.
I went to a show in England in 1993. Main event was Yokozuna v Hulk Hogan. However the champion was Yokozuna. So the tour he's talking about must have been after King of The Ring.
For some reason, the guy who knows he was screwed by Vince has a hard time believing Hogan’s tears and implications that Vince was trying to ruin what- by Bret’s own admission- was an excellent reputation amongst the boys. Baffling.
That submission match was a terrible idea....not Bret's fault (I'm sure you already knew that, but just thought I'd throw that out there). Also, Bret's "match" with McMahon at WM 26 was embarrassing and never should have happened...but I don't think that match should count towards his career. Other than those, Bret was involved in some of the most historic matches and is my favorite of all time.
Agree completely... Bret's two worst matches were WrestleMania 11 (with Roddy Piper's constant "Whaddy say?") and WrestleMania 26 (the match of 10,000 chair shots).
It was Bret's worst full WM match (not counting vs. Bolsheviks and vs. Vince) but even though it wasn't a bad match. Just way below his usual standard. I'd rather rewatching this submission match than the final matches of WM 33 or 34.
It made no sense that Bret wouldn't be part of either a match with Hogan or Yoko either at King of the ring or Summerslam. Wrestlemania set everything up. Bret loses by a miscarriage of justice and Hogan disputes the decision and gets a match with Yoko and wins the title. Bret didn't ever get any kind of rematch at all with Yoko or a match with Hogan so you know there was some dirty politics that went on. In fact Bret had to wait a whole entire year just to get the title back. They could of even had a triangle or triple threat match with Hogan vs Bret vs Yoko which would probably make the most sense because they were all part of a big mess.
Radeo Yeah I know. They were going on in WCW for years though as the Triangle match. They could of done the same thing and that would of been a good match between all 3 of them. They fucked up that whole situation.
I honestly think Vince wasn't 100% convinced that Bret was ready or the right guy to carry the company. I mean what was the point of simultaneously building up Luger with this similar "real American, patriotic" gimmick after it was clear that Hogan would leave?! In hindsight, it looks like Vince himself didn't fully know what he wanted. They promoted the ish outta Luger and his Lex Express tour only to have him never win the title LOL I wouldn't be surprised if we ever find out that in 1993 he was thinking of bringing the Warrior back at some point LMAO
Bret dropping the belt at WM9 did suck, but it was the best thing for him over the next year. They were able to make Yoko an absolute monster and he had amazing feuds King and Owen before finally slaying the monster.
Yeah but 1993 was a slow bad year for professional wrestling in the WWE I think this is where I started to look at WCW more when I was running it's syndicated shows on regular TV here in Detroit and some of it Saturday night's main event
Mania 9 should of been Bret beating Savage and Yoko beating Hogan. Also on the card should of been Steiner's vs Money Inc for tag titles, Undertaker vs Lex Luger and Razor Ramon vs Bam Bam Bigelow. They also should of saved FLair/Perfect loser leaves WWF match for Mania 9 and not wasted it a few weeks earlier on a low rated RAW. WORST BOOKED MANIA EVER!
alex kanyima He could have knocked him out like Luger did at summerslam 93.Or get him a chokehold close to top rope like Chris Benoit did with big show..Or do this have everyone in the ring gang up on Yoko and toss him out ahead of time and have savage and backlund be the last two and go at it
alex kanyima Did you not listen to this video clip? Conrad even confirms for Bruce that Hogan wasn’t on the tour. Now, Vince’s reasoning could’ve still had to do with the tour, and thinking Hogan would be on it, but the fact remains that Hogan was NOT on that tour.
@@bdot187um- That's what I figured... Thank you for the memory refresher. I'll have to go back onto RUclips & find that whole episode, now because I haven't listened to it in a long time.
It's hard to believe that there was no intention or support for the Hogan VS Hart match when the official WWF Magazine ran a big (kayfabe) feature after 'Mania hyping that very match. There were even interviews. I remember a dramatic silhoutte shot of a posing Hogan and the quote "but what about the Hulkster's heart?" to which Bret responded with something along the line of "what's my name?". Read it as a kid, was totally excited for it, never happened. But we got Thunder in Paradise, so....
I bought a chocolate bar because I wanted to eat it but when I got home I forgot about it and didn't eat it. But why did you buy it? To eat it. But you didn't eat it. I know, but that was the reason.
Bret seems to only ever see things from Bret's perspective, he seems to never be able to understand anyone else's position . He knows more than everyone, is better than everyone, and everyone is always just out to get him
I went to a European tour, and it was in July of 93! In the UK at Earl’s Court, so I can confirm he was there on that one! It was after he dropped the title to Yoko though, so perhaps is the confusion here!? Lol it was! Never the less I believe this was one of his last WWF appearances.
WrestleMania 8 was infinitely better than WrestleMania 9. Savage v Flair and Bret v Piper were outstanding, Shawn v Santana is a very underrated match, and the rest of the card was good enough.
"no Bret we're going in another direction" is Vince's way of saying "I think we should see other people"
Axel Janes I'm very aware of all that. People change their mind all the time. But what I said was true nonetheless at that particular time. Vince was pretty known for doing business with JUST ABOUT ANYONE if he knew he could make a buck.
It's not you, it's me .

He wrestled two matches at SummerSlam against two different styles, and started his Owen feud at Survivor Series, wrestled a tag match at RR and won the RR, jobbed to Owen in the best opening match at WM en route to getting his rematch at WM X against the unstoppable Yokozuna (who had taken out Hogan, an undefeated Tatanka, Undertaker, Lex Luger, and anyone else in his way).
Bret going through all of this put him over way more than Hogan passing him the torch could have, and besides, Hogan didn't owe Bret anything. If you need Hogan to put you over, you're just admitting that Hogan is a bigger star.
Just imagine wrestlemania 9 with hart vs savage as the main event what a classic then Bret could of dropped to yoko at king of the ring

Hulk Hogan was not on tour after Wrestlemania but after King of the Ring. The Hulkamania Tour was in July/August - I was in the audience in Munich. Already after losing the belt at King of the Ring. He won the matches against Yokozuna on the tour by DQ or count out (not sure). But Yoko kept the belt. And those matches in Europe were Hogans last matches for WWF.
Right. I remember Hogan cutting promos on Yoko vowing to get the belt back on tour.
ruclips.net/video/1UFGttDxCa8/видео.html
Yeah, I saw hogan v yokozuna in Edinburgh on Aug 3rd 1993.
Hootie was working a championship program, just like he worked that Bret-mark Bret!
you guys are all wrong... Check Bruce's book. Are we going to trust rumor and innuendo from random internet nobodies or Bruce fk'n prichard? Nice Bob Costas style "Gotcha Pal!" in a coordinated effort from you lot.
Wrestlemania IX would’ve been great if they booked:
(narcissist)Luger vs Hogan
Yokozuna vs Undertaker
Savage vs (c) Hart
Streak would have ended under these circumstances.
@C B1983 but how is it possible for letting Randy Savage winning the Royal Rumble by throwing Yoko of the top rope ?
@C B1983 and how would have work in that way ? Because Yokozuna debuted in October the same month that Bret is WWE champion
Ghost Of Tom Joad hindsight..
That's a really good idea for a fantasy card and plausible to boot. too bad somehow Savage was too old for Vince by IX yet Hogan wasn't
I'm new to this channel and am LOVING it. Their back and forths are super funny and the overall knowledge dropped is top tier.
I have heard a lot and this is the 2nd one i have heard of them going it it
I was 5 ... And unfortunately the first mania I remember watching live is 9. I obviously @ 5 still thought it was real. Bret became the man to me. As a kid you are rooting for all the baby face characters Hogan was still one of my favorites but I was 5. Bret was the guy to me. I grew up knowing Bret more than Hogan being on TV. So when Hogan closed with ending it was like this feeling I’d now describe like... You started the night at the bar in a really good conversation with a 9. But at 2 am you leave with a 5...
I was born in 88. I had two guys growing up, Stone Cold Steve Austin and Sting. Those two were my guys when it came to wrestling. Steve Austin will always be the GOAT imo
Hulk’s favourite phrase backstage: ”that don't work for me brother!”.
“It’s in my contract brother!”
Bobby Heenan arguing during the Piper/Hart match was classic.
I heard a story that Hogan once told a truth.
Did Hogan tell you that?
He was lying.
Did Beefcake tell it
And another thing Bruce! You think WRESTLEMANIA 8 was 1 of the worst!! Are you fucking kidding me?? 3 AMAZING matches that say you are wrong. TAKER VS THE SNAKE! HOTROD VS HITMAN AND FLAIR VS SAVAGE!!!
OH & even though SID VS HOGAN was the visuals CRAP as kid to see the skinny ass not so ULTIMATE WARRIOR run in & return was awesome!!
@@aaronfell1816 yeah 8 was okay, worst is either 9 or 11.
Mania 4 was awful too
Bret > Hulk!!
Hogan was on that tour. I saw him in Berlin.
Yeah, Conrad has admitted he fucked this one up. This is an old show.
Ok, I didn't listen until end, to be honest.
To make it complete: He won in an awful house show bout over Yokuzuna by count out. Even as a kid I was disappointed by the match. Ten minutes of kicking, punching, rest holds, choking and hulking up. ;-)
@@jeffreyriley8742 where and when did conrad admit this?
Dave Winfrey I don't remember but he did.
Where does he admit this?
Hulk did go overseas in July and August for a Euro Tour to face Yokozuna (as champ) in Vienna, Dortmund, Offenbach, Munich (sell out), Berlin, Edinburgh, London, Toulon, and Sheffield (his final WWF match).
he lost at kor that's in june typically so did he win another championship that im not aware of?
17:48 - If Conrad ever makes a WWE appearance this will be his entrance music.
WM9 ending with Hogan scooping a sneak win left such a sour note
Yeah and WM 9 was already horrendously booked and that was the cherry on the cake.
Even Shawn was pissed Bret was getting screwed over 😂
“I will be happy to return the....”
HAHAHAHAHA
“That doesn’t work for me, brother!”
This was one time where Bret should have refused to do the job
Loyality to Vince and love for the business screwed Bret, Vince was right. "Bret screwed Bret"
Just heard he didn't take diesels powerbomb in the cage match when taker popped out of the ring and drug Nash under
@@MaynardOwns Because it would have made no sense for the champion to be beaten and defeated in the middle of the ring just before going into a one hour iron man match at the biggest event of the year to pass the torch the the next top guy just so Undertaker & Diesel's non main event, non title match would have "looked better"...the whole "Bret refused to take my finisher" bullshit is just Nash being a mark for himself...and just for the record, not one other person has come out and backed that story up
@@MaynardOwns He was going to main event Mania as a face. He wanted him to look weak?
@@acidmack1041 yeah I agree. I think I left a detailed comment somewhere trying to workout the pros and cons of both sides of this alleged refusal to take powerbomb. Can't remember what my thoughts were exact but I do know came to the conclusion that Bret did the right thing not taking the bump.
This is purely speculative on my part, but it's entirely possible that they are both right. Hogan DID work on the European tour in the summer of 1993, after he had dropped the belt to Yoko. When did those tickets go on sale? Probably before Hogan had lost the title. So, if the idea was to help sell tickets by making Hogan WWF Champion, even though he would end up dropping the belt before the tour actually took place, that is entirely plausible.
The original plan I always heard was Bret was going to beat Yoko where the match would be in the middle of WM and Hogan and Beefcake were going to win the tag titles which would be the last match.
It's rumoured that Hogan threatened to no show unless he got the belt back.
Even tho the guy who holds the World Title is a work, I can feel Bret on feeling some type of way about this situation. Was a terrible finish for a WrestleMania main event. If they wanted to hot shot the title to Hogan, they certainly could have done it a much better way. My two cents.
I don’t care what anyone says. I watched the event live. Anyone who says anything bad about Hulk because of the finish clearly wasn’t watching wrestling in 1993. The crowd erupted and it was one of the biggest pops in wrestling history.
Everyone likes to put their spin on it, but at the time, I can’t remember ever being so excited about a finish to a match. Never before had the championship changed hands two times in one night, and it certainly never happened at WrestleMania.
July 29th Hogan vs Yoko in Germany, it's on RUclips look it up
ruclips.net/video/7PCxh09Yzt0/видео.html
Hulk didn't have the belt.
Grant Boughamer yeah he would have lost it already at KOTR at that point
JESSEWOLF1 you’re right there’s a few European dates where he beat Yokozuna by DQ. All in July 1993.
A match I'd never want to watch
Vince: Jump.
Bruce: Off which cliff, Sir?
And I heard that in Prichard's Heyman impression!
Haha I’m rolling here, Conrad totally owned Bruce in this one. Worth a listen!
Love.when bruce talks out his ass lmao
conrad comes off like he was trying to catch bruce in something. its obv that was the idea and vince changed his mind so he lost the title earlier than he was expected. oh whats the big conspiracy?? so bruce remembers the meetings about Hogan and the European tours and then vince changed his mind. so its bruce fault? what is he trying to catch bruce in?
Yeah and remember, Bruce has to remember this shit from 26 years ago! If Bruce knew back in 1993 that one day he would be on something called a “podcast” being interviewed about all of this, I’m sure he would make sure to remember every detail lol
Jose Reyes
The big conspiracy is that it looks like they made up any old excuse just to put the title on hogan as fast as possible. That wouldnt have sat well with other wrestlers.
A lot of people, myself included, just want the truth. "Hulk thought Bret was too small BROTHER and BROTHER he wouldn't give Bret Hart a chance, BROTHER." That's the truth. I'm sure Vince had his head up his ass too, but ultimately everyone knows Hulk had a hand in fucking Bret (and Yoko, really). We just want the truth, but Bret Hart must have shit in Bruce's toilet, and Shawn Michaels must have unclogged it, because the fat fuck seems to hate Bret for whatever reason and just won't tell the truth.
You know I can go the rest of my days rewatching wrestling from 92 to 99 and be content with that. This wrestling today I just can’t do it. I’ve tried. It’s too much forcing myself.
Conrad's laugh is so infectious.
I love how so many people are on here saying "Bruce was wrong and got exposed." Well, Hogan was on that tour and Conrad has since admitted being wrong. Bruce had some of the details wrong but Hogan did wrestle Yoko on a house show on that tour. I'm pretty sure Bruce would know since he worked for the company during that time. I like both of these guys and they do a tremendous job, I just don't get why so many people are saying Bruce is wrong on this when there is proof that Hogan was on that tour. Just takes a little research
PLEASE tell me where I can see Conrad admitting he's wrong over this
I thought Wrestlemania 9 was nowhere near the worst, and quiet liked it. The idea that it's the worst, is generally the opinion of the Meltzer marks and Indy marks. The ending as a one off, at that time was great, because you thought Hogan, who was still most people's favourite wrestler was leaving/having very little to do with the WWE, so it was an awesome moment to see him win the title back.
The outdoor Arena in Las Vegas I thought was also cool. The only negative I'd have about the event was, a few too many matches ended in DQs.
The last few Wrestlemania's have easily been worse than Wrestlemania 9. They've been painfully long to watch at 5+ hours, and most wrestlers we don't really care about, and the main events with Roman Reigns (whom I don't mind) as a face been boo'd by the crowd, versing another heel, has meant the mainevent's of the last few years have been completely flat and downers.
wrestlemania 9 was one of my personal favorites because it was my first it has a special place in my heart ❤😊
I love this bit of the Conrad-Bruce argument
Bruce: "do you have my book there"?
Conrad: "Your book says Hogan wasn't there"
Bruce: "I don't believe you"
Conrad: "HAHAHA"!
That talk about the European tour was classic😆. So funny
Tbh as kid back then. I was happy hulk won the belt. But now in hindsight, should of been yoko/Bret moment
Yeah same!
True. though I think even that early I had become a big Bret fan. I think if he had left with the belt I would have been happy. But at the time I did cheer when Hogan won the belt. Different now of course.
If the Hogan Wrestlemania 9 swerve didn't happen, would Bret have preferred instead turning bad, facing good Hogan, and losing the belt cleanly to Hulk?
I don't think Bret would have preferred losing directly to Hulk Hogan.
Nope if that's swerve had not happened Bret Hart would have still said that he needs to beat yokozuna at WrestleMania 9.
@@attiepollard7847 But then what I said would happen. Bret would then lose to Hulk, probably at the next PPV.
Best Wrestling Podcast on the Net by far!!!!
11 was the absolute saddest, most ridiculous, joke of a WM ever.
Is it entirely possible that they put the title on Hogan for the European tour and then Hogan pulled something to get out of going? Hogans a pretty busy guy and he also seems like the type that won't do something if it doesn't benefit him in some way.
Overall, it seems a little silly to argue with someone who was actually there because some random internet site says something differently. WWE was a private company back in '93, things like house shows weren't shared, so unless someone who worked for WWE in '93 is writing that site it's pretty fair to assume that there is probably a fair amount of information that's either skewed or missing.
Exactly. Because there's also Bret's account, that Summer Slam 93 was to be him against Hogan in a passing of the torch moment. They did promo shooting for that, allegedly a poster existed and WWF magazine reported on such a match (in a "who would win" scenario). If Bret got that right (or even the "back to Yoko on KotR" wasn't the plan from the beginning), it would have made sense to put the belt on Hogan for the July tour. He would have been champion. then things were changed before KotR, putting Bret against Lawler and Hogan moving out.
Bruce still kayfabes. Very often. Sometimes its obvious and sometimes its not. Pretty much any time he goes into "I was there, they weren't", he's in a corner.
@@str.77 Hogan made a bit significant in 93 but it was the same situation with Austin in 02
@@superlex611 what do you mean by that?

Lmao. I actually said that one time to my girlfriend when we were having issues
could it be that Bruce and Vince put the title on Hogan for the euro tour then hogan bailed out making the title switch pointless lol
Just a bullshit excuse Prichard can give for Vince bowing down to Hogan once again.
WRESTLEMANIA 8 is one of the best ever!
piper and hart was the best match of Wm 8
I love the fact that they argue like family🔥🤘🏿
I know that photos of Bret and Hogan with the belt on the beach existed. I used to have from a PWI magazine
Yup I think the build up was in several wrestling magazines. Just googled some images and found them. So that proves that was the original idea and then Hogan backed out of it.
* 22 years ago in 1993, the WWF ended the European tour with a card at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.It signified the end f an era because it was the last match Hulk Hogan worked as part of the decade-long run that changed the WWF forever.
Once again Bruce is right and Conrad had bad info. How does Conrad keep his job?
He is literally saying "Rumors and Dave Meltzer say this... What actually happened Bruce?"
Internet led him astray. NOT the first time this has happened with people believing the information they found on the internet.
James Richardson exactly plus Conrad knows the deal he brings up the b.s. rumor & innuendo so it can be finally put to rest. Not because he's got the wrong info. Am I right? Or am I right? We're right. Right?.
Keep his job? It’s a podcast
Bruce fails to realize that Vince worked him. The European tour was a bullshit excuse made to explain why that stupid WM 9 finish had to happen.
I went to a show in England in 1993. Main event was Yokozuna v Hulk Hogan. However the champion was Yokozuna. So the tour he's talking about must have been after King of The Ring.
WM 8 was awesome
I thought so
For some reason, the guy who knows he was screwed by Vince has a hard time believing Hogan’s tears and implications that Vince was trying to ruin what- by Bret’s own admission- was an excellent reputation amongst the boys.
Baffling.
Is there such a thing as a bad Bret hart match ?????
Yes. His match against Bob Backlund at Wrestlemania 11. Even Bret admitted it was one of his worst ever matches.
That submission match was a terrible idea....not Bret's fault (I'm sure you already knew that, but just thought I'd throw that out there). Also, Bret's "match" with McMahon at WM 26 was embarrassing and never should have happened...but I don't think that match should count towards his career. Other than those, Bret was involved in some of the most historic matches and is my favorite of all time.
Agree completely... Bret's two worst matches were WrestleMania 11 (with Roddy Piper's constant "Whaddy say?") and WrestleMania 26 (the match of 10,000 chair shots).
It was Bret's worst full WM match (not counting vs. Bolsheviks and vs. Vince) but even though it wasn't a bad match. Just way below his usual standard. I'd rather rewatching this submission match than the final matches of WM 33 or 34.
Yes.. every single one
“Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride…” BROTHER!🇺🇸🎶
It was exciting to watch Bret. He could actually execute wrestling moves.
too bad he doesn't have the charisma of a Hogan, Rock, Austin, Flair, Sting, Warrior, Macho Man etc

Yet id rather watch his in ring performance than any of those guys you named. Short maybe the rock on a good day
@@DmanDiceKing of the Ring was to showcase Bret Hart to keep his status strong as a main eventer
@@DmanDice And yet bret is a worse draw then all of them.
@@jb0609 not in canada and outside the us. Bret was a huge draw in many other countries but the us wanted exciting and controversial storylines.
Daniel Bryan vs big show for the title; Cena comes out after the match ends and finishes off show for the title
It made no sense that Bret wouldn't be part of either a match with Hogan or Yoko either at King of the ring or Summerslam. Wrestlemania set everything up. Bret loses by a miscarriage of justice and Hogan disputes the decision and gets a match with Yoko and wins the title. Bret didn't ever get any kind of rematch at all with Yoko or a match with Hogan so you know there was some dirty politics that went on. In fact Bret had to wait a whole entire year just to get the title back. They could of even had a triangle or triple threat match with Hogan vs Bret vs Yoko which would probably make the most sense because they were all part of a big mess.
Triple Threats were not a thing in WWF until 1997.
Radeo Yeah I know. They were going on in WCW for years though as the Triangle match. They could of done the same thing and that would of been a good match between all 3 of them. They fucked up that whole situation.
I honestly think Vince wasn't 100% convinced that Bret was ready or the right guy to carry the company. I mean what was the point of simultaneously building up Luger with this similar "real American, patriotic" gimmick after it was clear that Hogan would leave?! In hindsight, it looks like Vince himself didn't fully know what he wanted. They promoted the ish outta Luger and his Lex Express tour only to have him never win the title LOL
I wouldn't be surprised if we ever find out that in 1993 he was thinking of bringing the Warrior back at some point LMAO
Stupid mark go home
@Jake Jones it is a storyline
Bret dropping the belt at WM9 did suck, but it was the best thing for him over the next year. They were able to make Yoko an absolute monster and he had amazing feuds King and Owen before finally slaying the monster.
Yeah but 1993 was a slow bad year for professional wrestling in the WWE I think this is where I started to look at WCW more when I was running it's syndicated shows on regular TV here in Detroit and some of it Saturday night's main event
28:41 Bruce is such a natural yes-man that he needs to have a host who mocks and berates him on his own show for him to be in his comfort zone.
Why this is an argument so many years later shows how much we loved that era.
Mania 9 should of been Bret beating Savage and Yoko beating Hogan. Also on the card should of been Steiner's vs Money Inc for tag titles, Undertaker vs Lex Luger and Razor Ramon vs Bam Bam Bigelow. They also should of saved FLair/Perfect loser leaves WWF match for Mania 9 and not wasted it a few weeks earlier on a low rated RAW. WORST BOOKED MANIA EVER!

Watched some footage of Hogan in Japan, he actually knew how to wrestle. I wish Vince would have let him show more of what he could do in the ring.

It's hard to believe that there was no intention or support for the Hogan VS Hart match when the official WWF Magazine ran a big (kayfabe) feature after 'Mania hyping that very match. There were even interviews. I remember a dramatic silhoutte shot of a posing Hogan and the quote "but what about the Hulkster's heart?" to which Bret responded with something along the line of "what's my name?".

@@FatMenace yeah the good cop, bad cop chemistry.. Its gold and interesting instead of 2 dudes agreeing with each other all day
Bret vs Yoko could of easily headlined the European tour. Hogan was not necessary.
Bret seems to only ever see things from Bret's perspective, he seems to never be able to understand anyone else's position . He knows more than everyone, is better than everyone, and everyone is always just out to get him
Hogan pinning Yoko at WM IX was the biggest crowd reaction of the night.
I went to a European tour, and it was in July of 93! In the UK at Earl’s Court, so I can confirm he was there on that one! It was after he dropped the title to Yoko though, so perhaps is the confusion here!? Lol it was! Never the less I believe this was one of his last WWF appearances.
Card subject to change brother.
There was a European tour in early August of 93 that Hogan wrestled in.
Not all the negative Hogan stories are true, but he is known for refusing to work with Bret Hart.
didn't he do Bret a favor with this decision tho?
Brett was too small. Not realistic. Hulk wanted to protect his reputation
Hogan did have matches with Yokozuna in July of 1993. There is a match in July 30 in Germany.
WM8 was awesome btw
WrestleMania 8 was infinitely better than WrestleMania 9. Savage v Flair and Bret v Piper were outstanding, Shawn v Santana is a very underrated match, and the rest of the card was good enough.
I think WrestleMania 9 could have been saved if Ric flair had stayed in the WWE and we would have had Ric flair versus hulk Hogan at WrestleMania 9
I never understood Bret's beef here. It was Vince's decision, and he gave Bret a strong run with the belt.
It would have been a lot better letting Yoko run with it for a long time, instead of doing the whole Hogan run in at the end of Mania.
He seems to be just like hbk not wanting to get rid of that belt
It was terrible business. It only helped Hogan.
