This video has everything a true red and yellow Hulkamaniac could want. Hulk Hogan VS RIc Flair in his first WCW match, Hogan VS The Giant, known now as the Big Show. Hogan joins the NWO. Hogan and the NWO rain a path of terror accross the wrestling world that reinvented wrestling as we know it. THis is a great stocking stuffer as well

Thanks to a friend of mine finally cleaning out his garage, I was given a bunch of old VHS tapes including this one that was one of the second series of many "WCW Superstar Series" that WCW started releasing around 1999 that ran around an hour long. Hogan host his video from his home in Florida & reflects on his various moments throughout his WCW career along with also showing off his custom painted nWo speedboat. His debut against Ric Flair for the WCW Title at Bash At The Beach '94 is covered before going into the downfall of his relationship with Jimmy Hart. His transformation in Hollywood Hogan at the Bash At The Beach '96 followed by the nWo's dominance along with winning the World Title at Hog Wild was highlighted before going into losing & regaining the WCW Title from Lex Luger in 97, his feud with Sting was shown before going into the split of the nWo & losing the title to Goldberg, his celebrity tag matches against Diamond Dallas Page are shown before talking about his "Hulk Hogan For President" angle leading up to the infamous "Fingerpoke Of Doom" & his victory over Ric Flair at SuperBrawl.

Hulk Hogan had been the main event guy in WCW for 5 years up to this point so it's not possible to cover everything he did within an hour so thankfully some feuds were left forgotten (everything in his first two years past the debut match with Flair & Jimmy Hart turning on him) but some moments were also heavily forgotten such as his feuds against Randy Savage & Roddy Piper weren't mentioned at all. A bunch of the matches highlighted on here have sense been released onto DVD sets that WWE have put out in regards to Hogan & WCW so you aren't really missing anything on this VHS so unless your a hardcore WCW/Hollywood Hogan fan, this is a tape that you can pass on.

WCW released analbum in 1994 entitled "Hulk Rules". Not only is this true, it is proven to a T in this video, and on every single WCW PPV and Nitro event. -The video is alright. I give it 5 Stars because it's Hogan and anything he touches seems to turn to gold, and red. However, I myself feel I would havemade amore pro Hogan biased videotape. However, this video rocks! Please check it out! See the Hulkster train, say his prayers, and kick somebody's ass!

this video is pretty good,kicks off with a few significant wins in '94-95,and then that infamous soft summer night at bash at the beach,hulkster joins up with the outsiders to introduce the biggest wrestling revolution weve ever seen,all matches shown on this video are mostly wins hulk had but were never fair wins,but hey,that was part of the gig back then,clashing with the giant at hog wild '96,the landmark night which showcased possibly the two greatest stars in history...starcade '97 in sting's return to the ring...feuding with savage in early '98,the georgiadome title match that had 45,000 fans going out of their minds when goldberg dismantled hogan and managed to do it before the nwo got to him,nash lays down to give hulkster the belt and give him another run as heel champ (significant in the demise of WCW)shows a few cool behind the scenes features,hulksters nwo offshore speedboat is pimpjuice,bottom line,hulk is the greatest ever,and this video captures a significant time period of his career prooving hes the best good guy,and bad guy in history,a must have...HOLLA...if ya hear me

This was an okay video.It didn't show enough of his matches.It skipped from hog wild 96 to road wild 97.It didn't show his match against Rowdy Roddy Piper at Superbrawl 7 or his wargames match at Fall Brawl 96.Its not worth buying.

I Know Some Of You People Don't Believe This But This Video Was Not Good. I Really Don't Like Hulk Hogan At All Even Though He Is A Lagend, And A Fan Favorite. I Remeber What He Did At Bash At The Beach 1996. I Would Get The Goldberg Video. I Used To Like Hulk Before He Went Bad.

Hogan was definetly running wild in this video!! I couldn't believe we got to see so much of his personal estate, cars, boat, etc....THAT WAS GREAT!! This was the best yet, in a long line of GREAT VIDEOS!!

It was alright. But it could of been beter. It should of showed Hulk Hogans classic matches with Vader at WCW Uncensored and Bash at the Beach. It also should of shown his match with Ric Flair at Halloween Havoc 94. But overall, it was good.

Hulk Hogan is the greatest wrestler ever. This movie is great, but it focuses on basicly nWo matches. If you love wrestling and Hulk Hogan you should defenitly buy this movie. Also you should get wrestlemania III,it has a good match with Hulk Hogan vs. Andre The Giant. And remember; with the training, the prayers, and the vitamins, you too can be like the Hulkster!

There really isn't much good to be said about this video, except that it is some of the best production values that WCW has ever put out. Of course, most of the video is spent with Hogan's "reflections" on the NWO, his greatest matches and the riches he has received on the back of the entire industry. What this video does indicate, is that Hogan is the arrogant, pompas, aging a$$ that he seems to be on TV. Please, buy the Ric Flair video if you want a legend and the Goldberg video if you want to see a superstar. Get this video if you want to see a washed up never was.
