www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUgEOAfxlqkHogan's probably the smallest person in the ring, who isn't the referee. Both the Beverley brothers look AT LEAST equal in terms of mass and Beefer certainly is, although that's chub. Crikey I had forgotten just how tiny Hogan actually got. He can't be more than 240 here, if that. The heavy tan that used to accentuate his physique just makes him look like an unshapely sausage.

You could see at WM9 that he had lost a shitload of weight since WM8. Don't know what it was all down to but I thought he looked good when he was doing promos and such in the lead up to his comeback, but when he was actually just in the trunks it didn't look quite right.

Why were they facing the Beverly Brothers?
The only reason I can think of is for Hogan to say "We are going to go out there and beat the Beverly Brothers, brother."

Probably pretty close to his natural size here.

It's almost as if WWE started a sudden mandatory drug-testing policy about 5 months before to take the heat off of Vince for the impending Zahorian trial...

This era Hogan always looks strange to me in the WWF. I associate this look and his time with Jimmy Hart more with WCW Hogan. To see him facing the Beverly Brothers and not, say, The Dungeon of Doom is odd.

Kinda weird to look back at videos of Hulk and 80s wrestling. So many muscular guys in the ring these days would have been considered unbelievable monsters back then, surpassing even the Hulkster in mass and definition.
And the truth is Hulk was only really "incredible hulk" worthy of his title for a few years in the spotlight. WM I-VI pretty much (the early years being not nearly as famous). Then he spent the next 30 years being a fairly big guy, but nothing really remarkable bodywise on the roster. Probably 3/4 of the WCW roster had him beat physically. But he did look quite healthy compared to many of the PED users in that locker room.

Forgot how good the Beverly Brothers theme was.

You can tell he was way less muscular. He couldn't even tear his shirt!
....I'll see myself out now.

Man, Hogan used to cheat a lot for a face. If you've right, truth, justice and the Hulk Hogan way on your side, brother, you can cut corners as the ends justifies the means. Imagine if those dastardly Beverley Brothers had their way with Hulkamnaia! What then? Doesn't bear thinking about does it? |

Well to be fair Hogan was also a bit taller than both Beverly brothers. I don't think he was ever as small as 240. This was probably his thinnest and I'd guess he's about 250 |

I think it might just be the optical illusion of Hogan's gear being inexplicably much larger than it usually was.

Man, Hogan used to cheat a lot for a face. That's why Jesse Ventura was always the best because he'd point that out every time he was calling a Hogan match and Vince or Gorilla would sound like dumbasses trying to defend Hogan's actions. |

When did this match happen? I thought Hogan didn't return to the ring until Mania 9, which by the end of, he was champ. So how does this fit in kayfabe wise?
