- Nobody had a career like Arn Anderson. For more than three decades he has been the epitome of “old school.” Hear him as you’ve never heard him before every Tuesday at 6am Eastern as you gives you a peak behind the curtain for the first time ever. Each week Conrad Thompson will examine Arn’s days in the territories, becoming an Anderson, creating the Four Horsemen in the NWA, becoming a Hall of Famer, and being a producer behind the scenes for years for WWE proving “The Enforcer” has a story unlike anyone else. Known for his trademark Spinebuster and incredible “promos” in front of the camera, it’s his timing and wit that has kept “the boys” in stitches behind the scenes. Hear for yourself why ARN is the new “symbol of excellence” in professional wrestling podcasting exclusively on Westwood One Podcast Network, Tuesdays at 6am Eastern.
Hulk Hogan started out as a heel in the late 1970s. He became a baby face in late 1982. His heel turn was the greatest heel turn in the history of professional wrestling.
Exactly right. Hogan is so good to pull it off amazingly
Name any wrestler who evoked stronger reactions as both a heel and face than Hogan.
The only wrestler in the ball park is probably the Rock. Hulk Hogan had the strongest reactions as both a heel & baby face.
It was brilliant it'll go down in wrestling history the best gimmick yet🙃
@Crow Jackson okay you're right it's tied for first😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
The move made complete sense. Fans in WCW were booing Hogan in WCW as a face up until this swerve. They were tired of his superman BS that had gone on for over 10 years and this move breathed new life into his career.
It only could have worked in WCW, where a lot of the holdovers from the Crockett era hated him anyway. The way Hogan was booked in the WWF towards the end of his run, it wouldn't have been believable if they turned him. Even when he came back in 2002 and they tried Hollywood NWO Hogan, the fans hardened to the Attitude Era all became Hulkamaniacs again.
A vocal minority of fans booed Hogan before the turn. Why do you think a riot almost started that night?
And he probably gained more fan's I know he did with me for afact.
It's a real shame Arn never got to work Hulk after the heel turn. Remember, Arn had a victory over him and it would have made for an interesting mini-angle.
War Games 1996.
Stroke of genius....pivitol moment that changed the game
Hogan switching heel was nowhere near the big transition people keep thinking it was. Hogan worked heel style all of his career.
1. Cheated incessantly with eye pokes, back rakes, playing to the crowd arrogantly. It just worked because he had some master heels to work with.
2. Absurdly long shine in his matches. Average face had 2-3 minutes before taking heat...he’d get 6-8 if the match was 15-20.
Only ones I ever saw him truly work face were Andre, Orndorff, Dr. D, Savage, and Vince
