Posted June 17Jun 17 comment_6031362 HULK HOGAN vs ADRIAN ADONIS (07/26/1986; WWF Philadelphia Spectrum; 00:19:23) 3 1/2* - Jimmy Hart & Adrian Adonis Interview w/ Killer Kal Rudman. - Hogan tosses Adonis across the ring with his scarves. HE then chokes Adonis with them and then puts them around the ref’s neck lol. Adrian punched Hogan in the gut as he approached the corner. The ref was occupied with Adrian so Hart sprayed perfume in his eyes. Adonis missed a big splash and Hogan bounces up and sends Adrian outside. Adrian is so great at bumping. Hogan drags Adrian and Hart into the ring and gave them a noggin knocker. He then Irish whips Hart into Adonis and Adonis is tied up. Hart is sent out of the ring with an atomic drop and Adonis hits Hogan with the megaphone. Hogan gets his leg on the ropes to prevent the three count. Adonis abuses Hogan outside and rams him with a chair. After a couple of suplex near falls, Adrian hooks in Goodnight Irene. Adonis inexplicably ends the hold to go to the top. Big Splash meets knees. Hogan isn’t just no selling the damage. He is channeling his fighting spirit before hulking up. It’s a huge difference from 88-89. Hogan hits the big boot but Jimmy climbs the turnbuckle. Hogan grans him and lawn darts him into Adrian. Leg drop. Pin. This was a great match. EASY NOMINATION.
