People boo when he pulls Sid out of the 1992 Rumble. They edited it to cheers and Hogan chants with re-dubbed commentary when they recapped it on Superstars.
WM9 has a too small crowd for any real anti-Hogan reaction to really happen. Apathy, maybe.

decent crowd!
In the fractured cable market we're in the 1.0 IMPACT draws makes it one of the highest rated shows Spike has and one of the better performers on cable for Thursdays.
Oh yeah, I had the live tape and there were loud cheers for his tag match.
I never knew about the Hulk title win after the main event. My uncle must have turned it off when he was taping it for me straight after Yokozuna won and I had no way of watching any other programming at that point, so I just assume Hogan had won it some time inbetween then and when I watched the next PPV my uncle taped, which was King of the Ring.
Right, but is that photo from a TV taping? If you're drawing that low attendance at house shows, doesn't that show that you're getting an audience that will watch on TV but not turn up for live shows... so why bother, if that's the case?
I thought they only dabbled in house shows at this point and it's mainly just IMPACT tapings and the occasional PPV.
Now if they had this guy again they could fill entire Impact Zones!

Considering they've got nowhere to tape TV from now, it might end up being a TV taping venue.
Live tonight, from the Bumfuck High School Gymnasium! I can only imagine... reports of TNA losing money from buying tarps to cover all the empty seats. Sheesh.
I know what I like. Minute-long promos, maybe two on a PPV. Longer time for an interview segment like Piper's Pit. Rock with a mic yawning through the same singalong shit is as boring to me as triple-uh h-uh promos, possibly even as dull as Orton. Sorry.
I think the only guy I could listen to for three hours is Terry Funk. That commentary track on Beyond the Mat, but angry and with that voice.

Good ring lighting will fix that right up! You won't be able to see those damn hoops!
Would love it if they managed to get the lighting just right so that actually happened, but then someone went and did this:

Was considering going to a WWE house show this weekend but I'm not impressed with $65 for shitty seats. I'd be cool if it was just me, but dropping $130 for the wife and I to go does not make my wallet happy.
Can anyone convince me this is worth my monies?

Scroll down. I wonder if he slaps the Tongan Death Grip on customers that don't buy his sales pitch.
Reminds me of this, but at least Rick's self employed;

Clicked through to see Rick Steiners "The Team" page and was disappointed he's not hired his brother as an accountant.

Hey, I'm not mocking him! I just find the idea of him snapping into Meng mode mid-sales pitch to be pretty funny.
Also, at least he has a shoot job, rather than making an ass of himself in the ring like so many of his peers continue to do.
He's the "car spa" manager though, he might not even do sales pitches. Here he is demonstarting:

I hope he at least gives the death grip to prices.
EDIT: On the video he's been promoted to Director. He's gripping up that corporate ladder.

I got a request to upload some post-95 Jumbo, which I don't have much of in my collection - it's real sad watching him wrestle as a shadow of his former self, but the crowd still love him and there's a good story to this six man tag. Also, believe it or not, Akiyama isn't the one who takes the pin. Oh, and Dory & Baba are both more awesome in this than you'd expect;
Mistuharu Misawa, Jumbo Tsuruta & Jun Akiyama vs Akira Taue, Giant Baba & Dory Funk Jr. - (AJPW 10/18/96)
He didn't deserve it.
I'd prefer to see Naitovember before Nashvember.

I'd have liked to see that dipshit Nash try his hand at Japanese wrestling in his prime - would have been fun seeing Shinya Hashimoto murder him with a high-angle DDT.
.
In all honestly, the Japanese love a big gaijin, Nash probably would've got a good run and a title shot, at least. He's still a chump, though
Nash would have said the same thing to Hashimoto he said to Matt Bourne. It's not real, you (fat) moron.

It's not my fault he's a hack who only ever got anywhere because of his size, or that he's become the idol of the anti-smarks who are kidding themselves into thinking they're not smarks.
And Hashimoto would have said (via translator); it may not be real, but you damn well better make it look real or I'm going to murder you in that ring.

The entire female wrestling fan demographic in Japan would have tripled if Nash was in Japan.
A) If Nash was a hack, how is it that Bret says his best match was with Diesel?
B) Nash would have murdered Hashimoto in his prime in a shoot fight.
C) Nash's son is less of a failure than Hashimoto's.
