Rating: Summary: HULKAMANIA STILL RULES!!!! Review: Being a Hulkamaniac, I am really looking forward to this DVD, that and the fact there are over 4 hrs. of extra footage including his WWE debut, some exclusive interviews and some rare matches from 1978-current featuring both WCW and WWE matches. A must have for any true Hulkamaniac!
Rating: Summary: Finally, A Classic Compilation Review: I can't believe it has taken this long to get a complete compilation of Hollywood Hulk Hogan's career. This dvd makes the wait well worth it. The bonus features are incredible, with matches I have not seen since they happened live, back in the day. I am so happy to finally have these matches in a format that I can have forever. 6 hours of footage! Screw my girlfriend - I'm watching all 6!! Horray for the WWE, horray for Hollywood Hulk Hogan and horray for me and all wrestling fans!!
Rating: Summary: Not even a Hogan fan, and I still love this DVD Review: Take it from me, someone who hasn't liked Hogan since 1991, this is without a doubt the best compilation based on Hogan ever put out. The WWE have truely outdone themselves. Classic matches spanning from Hogan's debute throughout his golden years in the WWE, and even a highlight or two from WCW. The base peice on Hogan sheds his feelings of fear on working with Andre the Giant and King Kong Bundy, as well as his relationship with Randy Savage. But the extras are where its at. 1 hour on the first disk and 4 hours(!) on the second disk of pure vintage Hogan nostalgic goodness. If you pick up no other wrestling DVD, you can rest assured you made a good purchase in this one.
Rating: Summary: Awesome Hulk Hogan DVD! Review: One word: Amazing! This 2 DVD set is incredible! I just got the DVD this morning and it is the best WWE DVD ever. I hope they start putting this kind of effort into all their DVD's!There is a full documentary on Disc 1 and over 4 hours of bonus matches on Disc 1 and Disc 2. Here is a complete list of the bonus matches! All of them are COMPLETE MATCHES! -Hogan's MSG debut in 1979 -v. Andre the Giant in Shea Stadium, 1980 -Hogan returns from the AWA in 1983 -v. The Iron Sheik in 1984 for the World Title -Hogan trains Mean Gene on TNT (Tuesday Night Titans). -v. Paul Orndorff from Toronto at the Big Event in 1986. -v. Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III -A skit with Vince & Lord Alfred on TNT -Hogan & Beefcake v. Zeus & Savage from Summerslam 89. -An appearance on "All Star Wrestling" in 1982. -v. Ric Flair, Bash at the Beach '94. -"Classic Hogan" from TNT. -An interview with Mean Gene, that leads to: -Hogan & Mean Gene v. George Steele & Mr. Fuji. -v.

I'm glad they put a bunch of great new stuff on it, instead of the same recylced stuff they keep putting on other DVD's. Get Wrestlemania X8 if you want those 2 matches...then you have the complete Hulk Hogan collection!

Rating: Summary: Get ready for a 1978 to 2002 trip! Review: If you have seen the ads , the first DVD is what the VHS version will be , however DVD 2 will be 4 hours of extra stuff , 15 matches , including his WWF 1978 debut with Fred Blassie as his manager! Don't get your hopes up on 15 "new" matches , you know vs Rock and vs Ultimate Warrior will be here , as they put the TLC Summerslam 2000 match on 6 different DVDs! But yes , after all these years and the likes of Goldberg , this is the fact: Best Wrestler , Ric Flair. Best Entertainer, Hulk Hogan. So this is required viewing for all!
Rating: Summary: Almost the perfect Hogan DVD Review: This was almost a perfect 5 star DVD. I wont bother with another reveiw of whats on the disc ect.. theres already plenty here to read already. My only disapointment is that the first disc just does not have enough on it. It is about an hour long, and missing some of the best moments in the hulkamania career... where the hell is the match when the Hulkster went up against the Ultimate Warrior? Hogan might not have won that match, but it was still one of the most legendary matchs to this date. And also, theres no sign of when Hogan teamed up with the Warrior at one of the SummerSlams and the duo they became after that.. even if they didnt show the full match, they should have included the HOGAN/WARRIOR days. There is only a short glimpse of the Warrior during the mid 90's in the WCW and thats it. It didnt even show those matchs! It also only showed a short leg drop on Yokozuna at wrestlemania '93, that whole match lasted about one minute, why wasnt that included? It was Hogans last WWF title win in the 90's. Infact, there seems to be nothing from Wrestlemanias at all after Wrestlemania 3! It barely showed anything with Hogan & Randy Savage! A few words, and a few look back at things, but nothing from some of there matchs! Also, nothing about how many un-defeated wrestlers he brought to there first defeat! Sid Justice(Viscious) is just one that comes to mind amongst many others. Hardly anything from the WCW era, match wise. There's next to nothing about the NWO, Wolf-Pac stuff, Everything is mostly the acting side. Nothing from when he signed with the WCW and that terrible acting, but funny fake press confrence when he signed with WCW...too much is missing. Theres no VS McMahn footage from Wrestlemania 19. I hope if the WWE ever re-issue this DVD that they add some of the best footage that hasnt been included here onto the DVD. Other then that, it is a pretty good DVD, if you like Hogan? The second disc is over 2 hours long and features rare matchs for anyone intrested, but it puzzles me why the bonus disc is over 2 hours, but the feature presentation is about an hour, and dosent show some of the best moments in wrestling history that Hogan was part of! EGGS: There are 2 hidden eggs, one on each disc, both found the same way. Go to the chapter selection/Extras , and go to NEXT, and go to the last (3rd) menu, and then press right to highlight the Hulk still rules logo. On Disc one you will find the "Real American" video clip. And on Disc 2 you will see footage of Hogan playing bass and Mean Gene playing piano, with a band playing "Tutti Frutti"!!!
Rating: Summary: This dvd doesnt give him justice Review: Hulk Hogan is known world wide. He is like Ric Flair, he might now show much talent in the ring but his charisma can attract sold out crowds everywheres. The dvd seems like a good idea with 15 matches, what can go wrong? Well Ive viewed the matches, its a mixed bag. Most of the matches I have on other tapes, the ones I dont know arent that great. The Royal Rumble was dumb considering Hogan came in at 25 and thats where they started it. Where is the WCW years? Did WWE just forget where Hogan went from 1993 to 2003? Sure they showed his match against Ric Flair when he first started in WCW but what happened after that match? They could have included some new matches like his match against The Rock at Wrestlemaina 18 or his title win over Triple H as well. The documentery on this dvd feels to rushed, like they threw a bunch of random clips and got his 10 second opinion about the person. The clips are cool but they go by so fast. I just bought Ric Flair's dvd set and Im hoping its better then this set on matchs, the Rumble is suppose to be in its full form and his matches with Ricky Steamboat are considered classics. Im excited for that set, but as for Hogan- it's good but feels a bit rushed, Ive noticed that about a couple of WWE best of DVDs. Diffently get if you like Hogan or just old fashion wrestling.
Rating: Summary: HULK STILL RULES!! Review: This DVD is #14 of the 130 greatest WWE DVD's. There isn't a lot of good matches but there are a lot of matches that's why it's so high up in the ratings. There are also a lot of old-time matches in this DVD and the best part is that it is cheap.
This DVD covers Hogan's life as well as his wrestling career and Hogan was probably the best well known and best wrestler ever before Austin & The Rock.
Rating: Summary: The Best Wrestler of all time! Review: This DVD is essential for any pro wrestling fan! In addition, it's a great nostalgia present to give to anyone who lived through the "Hulkamania" era of the 1980s! Pro Wrestling has changed a lot since Hogan's day, both in pace and storylines. However, this DVD proves that Hogan's ability to read a crowd and pump up the fans will never be matched again. (The man was on the cover of "Sports Illustrated," for crying out loud!)
On a technical level, Hogan wasn't much of a wrestler. But he had the size, the look, and the charisma to become the "Babe Ruth of Wrestling." This DVD gives a nice biographical documentary on "The Hulkster," and traces his evolution from early days in the business to Wrestlemania 18.
It would have been nice to see even some more matches. (For example, what about Hogan's classic 1989 steel cage match with the Big Boss Man???), but most fans will be very satisfied with the many included here. It would have also been nice to see a few episodes of Hogan's Saturday morning cartoon, "Rock n' Wrestling," as those were pivotal in bringing wrestling to the masses (and to the youth). Nonetheless, it's nice to see some of Hogan's matches from the 1980s on DVD, as the WWE is yet to release any of the old Wrestlemania's (1 - 10) on DVD. Fans of biopic wrestling DVDs should also check out Ric Flair's new one!
