Legend CD - Hollywood Hogan

[Shadow]

Hulk Hogan is arguably the most famous WWE Superstar of all time. World Wrestling Entertainment was never the same after Hogan replaced an injured Bob Backlund and defeated The Iron Sheik for the WWE Championship on January 23, 1984, at Madison Square Garden. A phenomenon was born.

The blonde and muscle-bound Hogan, sporting his trademark 24-inch pythons, urged youngsters to say their prayers and eat their vitamins. His historic championship run would last nearly four years, a reign nobody has even come close to matching in the last two decades. Hogan's success brought unprecedented mainstream attention to wrestling, even landing Hogan in television and movie roles.

He took on all comers and soundly defeated the likes of Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff and King Kong Bundy. Then at WrestleMania III, in front of a record-breaking crowd at the Pontiac Silverdome, Hogan met his toughest challenge to date. Hogan was forced to defend the WWE Championship against his former friend, the undefeated Andre the Giant. In one of the most memorable moments in professional wrestling history, Hogan lifted the mighty Giant in the air for a bodyslam before pinning the Hall of Famer for the win.

Hogan would eventually lose the championship to Andre the Giant in 1988 in a controversial match, but would regain it in April 1989 when he defeated another former friend, Randy "Macho Man" Savage. Between 1989 and 1993, Hogan, known for his powerful and often imitated leg drop, would hold the championship four more times.

Amazingly, Hogan headlined eight of the first nine WrestleManias, highlighted by his WrestleMania III victory over Andre the Giant at the Pontiac Silverdome before more than 90,000 fans. Hogan, who also had memorable rivalries with Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker and Sgt. Slaughter, also won the Royal Rumble in 1990 and 1991.

Hogan left for WCW in 1994, where he shocked the world and helped form the New World Order with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. Hogan won the WCW Championship six times between 1994 and 1999.

Hogan returned to WWE in January 2002, eventually facing The Rock at WrestleMania X8 in Toronto. Hogan returned to WWE donning the black and white colors of the nWo, but the fans demanded that he go back to his traditional colors of red and yellow, and Hogan was more than happy to oblige. During his final run, he also picked up his sixth WWE Championship and his first-ever World Tag Team Championship when he teamed up with Edge.

Before he left, Hogan bridged a generation gap by having notable rivalries with present-day Superstars like Chris Jericho, Triple H and The Rock.

I only made it through 2 Hogans intros (I couldn't stomach a match, sorry). WTF is up with this intro music? Is it even nWo?

I've never heard it before either.

[-Brad v1-]

They mess up with that kinda crap...wish there was an easy way to replace that theme...

[Enigma]

Maybe it's like one of those DVD ones, such as Flairs. They change them on DVD events. So far my brother mentioned they changed Flairs, Lita's, Stacey's, Sandmans (which completly ruins the entrance), ect. Maybe the nWo theme is like that? Or THQ simply sucks, lol. One of the two....

[KnickMan2]

Is it the Jimi Hendrix intrance music?

[The Million Dollar NoOb!]

i never heard that. The NwO theme I know is te one w/ guitar intro.

You mean Voodoo Child? Well if so no it is not, at least in these vids. The new Hogan has "Real American" too....hardly seems like a point in making 3 Hogans (like I said weeks ago)

[KnickMan2]

Dang, I do agree they don't need the three Hogans their is no point thats what Caws are for if you want that many. I see it as wasted space they could of used for other legends.

[Enigma]

I mean if they were totally different then maybe but they are not. Hulk Hogan and Hogan 80's are the same apart from a bit more pointing. Well I NEEDED that didn't I? There is only one wrestler you can justify having three of and thats the three faces of Foley. Other than that it is extremely pointless.

Whatever at leats we have a couple more spaces for unlockables

[ajstyles95]

yea THQ can't get the point right....We want 3 Faces Foley...But they gave us Hogan...

[Hollywood Billy Shears]

Hell, no nWo theme?!Nooooooooooooo!!
But, someone said that Hollywood have the nWo theme...Was it GamingRing?The volume was very low, but they said that it was the nWo theme...
Oh man, if they don't bring the nWo theme, I will be very, very, very disappointed with THQ, more than I am right now...I mean, if they give 3 Hogan's, at least make them diff'rent, with their own moves, entrances, etc!
EDIT: I've downloaded the video now and I've just seen it...When the entrance starts, it have a far resemblance with the original nWo theme, but as soon You can hear it well, it's a very worse version of the original theme, wich was very cool..

[Hardcore King]

Sounds like the nWo Japan theme song,ive heard it before,sounds similar.

[Enigma]

Yeah listening to it again it is kinda is the nWo theme but like a remixed version. I guess if it was low it would be hard to say if it was the nWo theme, like Gamingrings reports said.

[DHAD141]

I have no idea what the nWo theme music is so it doesn't bother me. BUT LOOK AT IT THIS WAY. When making CAWS for the nWo they gave us an awsome lighting for the CAE. So we can have CAW Kevin Nash come out with black and white lighting and have moves of Doug or Danny Basham. If you can see there entrance, you can see what I mean. Also it gave us some sort of music and titatron. SO THATS AWSOME FOR ME!!!!!!
