Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with some old-school wrestling stuff, specifically that Hulk Hogan vs. Sid Justice match. You know, the one everyone remembers from WrestleMania VIII?
First, I dug out my old VHS tapes. No luck. They’re probably packed away in the attic somewhere, and I wasn’t feeling that ambitious.
So, plan B. I fired up the trusty old computer. I’m not gonna lie, finding a decent, watchable version of this thing online was kind of a pain. You get a lot of grainy, low-quality stuff, or videos chopped up into a million pieces.
But eventually, I stumbled across a pretty decent copy. Man, the nostalgia hit hard. The crowd, the over-the-top commentary, the whole nine yards. It was great.
I watched the whole thing, start to finish. And honestly? It’s still a pretty fun match. Sure, it’s a bit cheesy by today’s standards, but the energy is infectious. The crowd is going absolutely nuts for Hogan, and Sid is playing the monster heel perfectly.
- I paused the video a few times to really take in the atmosphere. The colors, the signs in the crowd…it’s like a time capsule.
- I even jotted down some notes about the key moments. The near-falls, the big power moves, and of course, that infamous ending with Papa Shango and the Ultimate Warrior.
- I even try to find another version and I got a pretty fun watch experience.
The Conclusion
My conclusion, revisiting this match was a blast. It reminded me why I loved wrestling as a kid. It’s pure, unadulterated entertainment. If you’ve got some free time and you’re feeling nostalgic, I definitely recommend giving it a watch. Just be prepared for some serious ’80s and ’90s cheese!
