Now, we've all heard people talk about how limited Hulk Hogan was in the ring and how he had his own "5 Moves of Doom". Even though that may be partially true, it does not make The Hulkster bad in the ring. Hulk Hogan consistently got the job done and he made every match he did exciting. Sure, he always had his big boot, slam, and leg drop finish, but that didn't take away from how good he was. During his era he faced guys like Andre The Giant, who was himself one of the most limited in-ring performers of all time (due to size and health issues) but Hogan still came in and wrestled one hell of a match every single time.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to dispell the myth about Hogan's "bad" ringwork. I don't believe he was an excellent technician by no stretch of the imagination, but he didn't need to be. His pure athletic ability made him good in the ring. Have you ever heard of someone carrying Hogan in a match? No, because he was good enough to do it on his own.
Do you agree or disagree? How do you rate Hogan's in-ring work?
