It's SPOOKY SEASON! October is the perfect time to look back and see the scary, scary things that were happening in the world of wrestling.

Including this match! Between THE GIANT and HULK HOGAN (not Hollywood!) in the year 1995. This is right before the retro review we did a couple weeks ago, where we were introduced to the Darkside Brother. Sadly, no Darkside Brother on this, but somehow there are Monster Trucks. Nothing makes sense. Enjoy!

Jake Steele

Fuck yes! Much love boys ❤️

BigJ

Awww. I was hoping for this to be the SGH this month. It has Sabu's only WCW PPV match with Mr. JL (shoot Jerry Lynn). Original Sheik is also there and does an unscripted (iirc) fireball spot.

BigJ

Hunter definitely would have tagged Giant for real.

Seatrain

Heck yeah! I just finished Havoc '95 in my first WCW re-watch. What timing.

Oscar Gutierrez

These fucked fuckers gotta do a whole show review. It's peak madness.

FWPJR.

I love watching you guys react to bad matches and shows, it’s freaking hilarious listening to the stuff that is said. I can’t wait to watch this because this match is so bad ( and funny ) it’s good.

geeman360

I would love an SGH of this whole show lmao

Daniel Beesley

btw can we just talk about hogan killing the chokeslam AND slamming show in THE SAME MATCH????

Noted Bowser Stan

'They Eifel Towered me, Brother' might be one of the most insane things that has ever been said in this show's history.

Felsin

Idk what to say about this match but all of you can fuck off with your pussy Gravedigger bullshit, Bigfoot gang for life bitch.

Woodstove

Just to explain it - Giant wins by dq here not Hogan. Jimmy Hart as Hogan's manager attacked the ref so Hogan got dq'd . It's only on the next Nitro that Hart reveals the title could change hands by dq during this match.

The yet tay doing back shoot YEET taunts is the funniest shit ever

PJ Pirinen

Of course, the actual reason why the Giant survived plunging into the Detroit River is that all the Mutated Freak Fish were allies of the Dungeon of Doom and thus caught him and carried him to safety. WCW just respected their audience too much to spell it out for them.

JackRyanForPope

Kinda bummed you didn't watch the whole show. Sabu is on it! (But seriously you probably dodged a bullet)

BigBombBrytor

21:57 shoutout to the Giant blatantly waking up to see what's happening and then immediately goes back to selling.

Kai Eastwood

This is the beginning of Lex Lugar incredible pinnacle of his career run. 1st as this two face chicken shit heel whose still friends with sting despite being two faced. And then as the babyface 1st soldier of WCW fighting back vs the NWO up until his world title win only to be immediately kneecapped 5 days later. MVP of nitro those 1st 2 years him or Dean Malenko and his steller in ringwork as the 1st junior ace One of my favourite TV matches ever is his match vs ROADBLOCK on the go home Nitro before Halloween Havoc 96. It takes 3 attempts to put this giant man in the rack which makes it more impressive and a bigger pop when a lesser man would of just given up and hit the bionic forearm and pinned.

Esteban Duque Ortiz

Jawnny breaking James with the ‘smells like fish, dude’ killed me. Wow

Gerard Smith

The Yet-ay was mean to be Giant Gonzales but he got sick a week before the event so they wrapped Ron Reese in bandages put him in lifts and gave him a skull cap so he looked taller than The Giant and sent him out there. The plan was to unwrap the Yeti later to reveal Gonzales skin suit and all but obviously that never happened.

Hank Kronenberg

You guys should've also done the monster truck sumo match, it's such a key part of this match (it's also on the show)

DEADLOCK

It is the beginning of the video!

Lead Dock

Shout out to the best episode of OSW!

Cyco Vision

Man this PPV is so infamous for this and that fan who jumped into the ring to possibly kick zodiac or macho man's ass... an amazing all timer

Terry Gordita Crunch

How can you watch this and not think Hogan is the greatest wrestler of all time?

Cad Chamberlain

Hogan matches are so bizarre. He gets hit with the top finishers in the company just to no-sell them and hit his own finish right after

Cad Chamberlain

The Yetayyy fucking ruled. Come out, fuck Hogan in the ass, hit em with the arms, leave.

Meatwad

Im convinced hogan’s mustache is velcro

tabnerrr

I rewatched Kobashi/Misawa earlier so the shift to this match gave me severe whiplash

TravisBroski

Just had head stapled after getting hit by a trash can at a crazy angle at a wrestling show (doing ringside security for), glad to catch this and have a good laugh from this classic

PT

Hulk Hogan, ring general, SLOWLY (with the ref) guiding a very, very, very jolly green giant through probably their first match is something. It's almost kind of charming how basic this setup is. Bearhug bearhug more bearhugs, chops, go back to that, let me kick out of your move brother, repeat. Frankly, this would be a memorable bad match even before the YEETTIII comes out and makes it even more special. Maybe Giant figured out his endless face/heel turns from how Luger did it here.

Clay Goodman

That was attempted murder!!!!

TravisBroski

lol no but it was my schools show and our booker said he’ll help with whatever’s needed, so I believe I’ll be covered. 👍 (it was a freak accident that I walked into, we’re all in good health and spirits all around)

Stack Of Pubes You Call Balls

Watching this made me rewatch the What Happened When of Tony Schiavone and Conrad watching this PPV... If anyone hasn't listened to it, give it a try. Schiavone is hilarious on this one.

The MK Zer-Yooooooooooooooooooo

Babidi: Wow, that took zero convincing for Hogan to give into my mind control. Let me see what he's thinking. Hogan's mind: Brother dude Jack brother brother Jack dude brother.

Lafayette

schiavone doing his best tenai face when heenan gets on his knees

Bill Harris

One week Okada vs Strong and now this, wrestling is truly the greatest

BigJ

Sullivan was really tapped into the shonen manga storylines.

BigJ

To be fair, considering how fucking green Giant was, this was very likely to be a one-and-done deal; they might as well do all the spots.

Richard “The Rooster” Richardson

It’s hard to believe this match and the 2013 CZW four-way ladder match are considered the same sport lol I lost it when the Yet-ay came out and proceeded to hump everyone

Andrew Carnborn

The boys should watch the episode of Extreme Cheapskates where a dude gets rejected by TNA and pisses off Kurt Angle because his boots are using ceramic tape to be held together (S2E5)

Hamzah

Majin Hogan is crazy

Cali Jester

I think I've seen this match like 3-4 before this and it's amazing everytime.

Veeeeeeeera

One time on Dark Elevation, Daddy Magic actually asked Big Nasty Brother Paul how he survived that fall. Wight said he was young and you can just walk off injuries when you’re young.

K Rob

This Match never ages it's hilarious everytime I see it🤣🤣🤣🤣

D.J.O.

This was clearly attempted murder by the Hulkster dudes….but in all seriousness. Hogan without the stache seems so fucked up…brother. This match was amazing lmao, especially Hogan’s reaction when the Giant arrives lmaoo

D.J.O.

😂😂😂😂
