On the old Coliseum Home Video release, I believe it showed a clip from a different press conference which included Heenan, Piper, Junk Yard Dog, etc. I'd like to see that whole thing too. During this clip, Andre explains that he didn't change, and that the only reason he chose Bobby Heenan as his manager is because he was the only person who showed up to his hearing to have his suspension lifted. Andre mentions how none of the other wrestlers showed up for him. I don't recall the story being told from Andre's perspective like that ever during the angle. Most of the time Andre was just quiet and Heenan said everything. I can see why the regular programming wouldn't use that part, as it could draw sympathy for the heel.

It was very similar, but not as funny, as the Orndorff/Hogan angle the year before where Orndorff was desperately calling from a payphone and Hogan basically hung up on him because he was always busy.

Wasn’t that basically the story with Taz and Afonso? Alfonso was sending money to Taz while he was hurt.

Things weren’t overanalyzed back then, but even as a kid Hogan almost always came across to me as the real heel in most of his feuds.

Jealous of Andre. Had to have a bigger trophy for being champion for three years. Andre was undefeated for 15 fucking years.

There is no surprise that he made more money on his two runs with Hogan than he did the rest of his career combined to that point. Sure, we all saw the turn coming - but I was in middle school at the time and wrestling was the #1 sport in the school (all the kids watched, being that we were in Stamford), and virtually all of us agreed that Hogan left Orndorff hanging and deserved to get nailed from behind. As has already been said, Hogan looked so, so bad in any feud that started with a former friend. None of his friends ever turned on him just to fuck him over - he caused it.bpickering wrote:This week's hidden gems.

Of all the matches they could have made, none of them interest me in the slightest. They could have picked names out of a hat and made better match ups.

You mean that isn't what they did this time, or for that matter the last few dozen times? Maybe they should ditch the hat and bring out the old battlebowl from the WCW box. While they're at it, they could recycle the Spin the Wheel too, but with some colored lights to give it that 21st century feel.
