The call-and-response relationship with the fans carried 'Hacksaw' longer than his own legs ever could have in the wrestling industry once he'd passed his Mid-South peak, and scraps like this with the equally-worthless Dino Bravo weren't exactly tailored to help tip the scales back in his favour.
There's some Earthquake-based banter at the end as the massive next Hogan foe continues his charge through the other babyfaces, but this barely fills the void as a filler, let alone a thriller.
