I thought the difference was that you run into an outstretched arm on a clothesline, and a Texan attempts to brutally murder you in front of a crowd of redneck witnesses on a lariat.

The True Ranking of Clothelines's goes -> Western Lariat> Kobashi Lariat > Taichi Axe Bomber > Sliding Lariat > Clothesline > Hogan Axe Bomber

Claytor posted:I feel like an even marginally more mobile Hogan would be doing no-bump nostalgia matches into his seventies. He absolutely would but his body is a wreck because he has been carrying a huge steroid frame around on his body for 45 years, not just the leg drop. Like, his whole body has been hosed up since the 90s, it's not just the hip. Hogan has a lot of annoying traits but I legit cannot stand how he constantly begs for sympathy.

yeah the replays of Sin were definitely edited and this was still very much the "only show freeze frames of last night's PPV" era for the TV shows

Hedgehog Pie posted:I feel like Hogan made most of the money off of the merchandise too? Probably. Here's what his contract looked like: "He signed with WCW in 1994 and signed a new deal in 1998, which included a $2 million signing bonus; 15 per cent of pay-per-view sales for each event he wrestled in, with a minimum guaranteed $675,000; 25 per cent of gross ticket sales when wrestling in WCW Nitro, WCW Thunder or an untelevised WCW house show, with a minimum guaranteed $25,000; $20,000 per month just to wear NWO t-shirts on TV and in photo shoots; rights to use his name an image to promote “pasta, pasta restaurants, sandwiches [and] sun tan oil.” Twenty grand just to wear NWO shirts. Who knows how much he got off their actual sale.

That meant Hogan and Sting got the merchandise cut while WCW actually wasted a stamp mailing Jericho a check for zero dollars.

Gotta love WCW not booking PPVs until the last minute and also having a roster full of dudes who refuse to job, leading to poo poo like a 15 minute Mike Enos/Jerry Flynn match with a DQ finish on PPV.
