10 Most WTF Promos In Wrestling

10. Team Hungry Hogan Needs Catering

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zdn3Me8X-M#t=103 Hulk Hogan€™s connection with the WWF, WCW and WWE audience is considered to be a thing of legend. Much like a thing of legend, the reality is somewhat different€ smaller, less impressive and in some cases just some guy in an alligator onesie getting his mates to take blurry pictures of him pretending to destroy Tokyo. Case in point: Hogan€™s promo intended to shore up excitement for the 1987 Survivor Series pay-per-view. Clearly given little in the way of preparation except being told to look fired up and hungry, Hogan€™s team constantly do that 1980s-WWF thing of rubbing their hands together, laughing maniacally and staring off into the middle distance, while Hogan shouts gruffly and incoherently in front of and over the top of them. About hunger, mostly. They€™re all so hungry. This promo is where Ryback gets all his stuff from, isn€™t it? Busted. In fairness to him, back when wrestling was as real as Hogan€™s 24-inch pythons he really could talk thousands of people into the building: in a booming voice, he€™d invite his male siblings to allow him to speak to them, call them €˜Jack€™ and miracles would occur. But then a lot of wonderful things happened in the 1980s that could never happen in real life, and Hulk Hogan was one of them.
