The Giant vs. Hogan main event on the 1/13/97 Nitro wss a barn burner that had a 45 minute overrun, but unfortunately TNT could only show it during commercial breaks for The New Adventures of Robin Hood...

Theres no way, a hogan match went 45 long. Thats like...30 minutes too long.

I think in reality it was like 6 minutes, tops, and ended in a nWo run-in for a DQ. But to see the ending, you had to watch like 75% of the Robin Hood show, so in kayfabe terms Giant was just wailing on Hogan for over half and hour.

It was such a hokey attempt to get people to watch Robin Hood.

Looks like it was basically Robin Hood but in the style of Hercules/Xena?

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Last I heard he got a C&D (possibly from WWE) and changed his name to Blue Pain :( He should go to DDT for the Matt Cardona match, he could totally get away with it there.

So if Red Kane is fire and Blue Kane is ice I guess Green Kane would have to be plants.

Through poison ivy and thorn bushes, it’s Kane!

I was looking up something on Edge's wikipedia page that cites back to a biography of him written by one "Jason D. Nemeth." Anyone know if he's related to Nick and Ryan Nemeth? That'd be such a weird little convergence.

legends contracts are primarily just a merchandising agreement and usually aren't restrictive. Jake Roberts was on one during his AEW run and was still featured in WWE video games and WWE still held his action figure rights.
