10 Completely Stupid Things In Wrestling That Heels Always Do
2. Keep Punching Hulk Hogan
An age old one, this, but it remains no less prevalent in 2017, some thirty years after 'Hulkamania' first hit its commercial and critical apex. At the point in which Hulk Hogan no longer seems to suffer any adverse impact of your hardest shots, try something else, and quick.
Even if a right or left hand comes crashing down and it hurts inside, Hogan never seems to feel it externally, especially if his gesticulations and convulsions imply that he's started to 'Hulk Up'.
Just about every heel that ever faced 'The Immortal One' fell into the same trap. Foolishly assuming their legendary foe to be a beaten man, they thinking nothing of throwing a few potshots as he attempts what they believe to be a flailing last grasp for victory. Time and time again they're proven stupid, as Hulk rebounds more powerful than ever, disabling them with his own mighty right hand long enough to floor them with a big boot and drop an almighty leg across them for a three-count.
If the punches are merely bouncing off his chrome dome, it's time for a rapid rethink.
