I haven't watched the last 2 matches of Starrcade '86 yet, but the only good match so far has been Midnight Express vs Road Warriors. The Gavin vs Bubba match wasn't bad until the end. Everything just feels like spinning wheels during this event unlike the last 3 starrcades that resolved stories.

Because say what you want about the lying racist sack of poo poo that Hogan is, in a wrestling ring he did have charisma and presence. None of which tranlsted to any of his TV or movie appearances. (Although I will confess that Suburban Commando was a fun film that I enjoyed watching.)

History Comes Inside! posted:Thunder in paradise quote:Hulk Hogan stated in an interview that he did not get to keep the Thunder Scarab boat used on screen, but he had one built. Hogan said he made the decision when he was heavily medicated following a surgery. "Following a surgery" lol haljordan fucked around with this message at 14:45 on Mar 13, 2023 |

BrigadierSensible posted:It is surprising that someone with as much physical presence and charisma as Hogan would suck so much as an actor. I think his wrestling presence and charisma actually translated almost 100% to his acting work, for better and for worse. If you think of wrestlers as essentially specialized actors, all his strengths and weaknesses were pretty much the same, particularly in No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando. The dude was most interesting when doing the Hulk Hogan growling and shouting at his audience while being larger than life. But like his wrestling, his line delivery was never more than 1 dimensional, his physicality looked wooden, his strikes were poo poo and his selling was either non-existent or melodramatic. And for the record, I was a hulkamaniac as a child and used to love his movies when I was about 5-7, but as I got older, I could see that just like his wrestling, they were dogshit. Outside of wrestling, I think his main strengths only translated well to like motivational speaker, drill instructor or personal trainer. Most of his attempts at talking "normally" have usually come off as fake as hell or grimey, wrestling or not. That infomercial for his grill is a perfect example. It's interesting to think of other wrestlers who turned to acting and I can only name Batista and to a lesser extent the Rock and Cena as guys who really showed more range beyond what they did as wrestlers. Guys like Piper, Hart, Ventura, Austin, etc. basically seemed to play it to their kayfabe personas. I haven't seen most of the 2000s WWE movies.

Pretty sure any movie featuring Hogan recalling his past will feature a 7-foot Hogan with a full head of hair.Halloween Jack posted:It seems like exactly the kind of thing Vince would write. Shouldn't Hogan's character have chased that guy with his own poopy underwear on a stick?

Hogan needed to act in some early 90s low budget indie movies to prove his acting cred. Just imagine him as Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs.

Those Turner movie tie-ins were absolutely effective at getting kids like me to watch, but I guess that wasn't the demographic they were going for on Shutterspeed or The Real Reason (Men Commit Crimes)

I wonder if something like that would've helped Hogan's career too, or if he wouldn't have been able to. I think the problem is that Hulk Hogan is a six and half foot tall orange muscle goblin and audiences would never be able to see him as anybody but Hulk Hogan no matter how good his acting was. Even Batista and The Rock don't look unique in the way Hogan does.
