Video Tuesday: oh the horror, brother!

Posted by Lizzie on May 6th, 2008

I’ve been a casual “wrestling entertainment” watcher since I was a kid back in the 80’s. Hulk Hogan, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, Macho Man Randy Savage and Andre the Giant were some of my favorites back then. I had a resurgence of interest earlier in this decade which eventually died out when Steve Austin and The Rock moved on. Even today I occasionally flip over to WWE’s Raw or Smackdown if there’s nothing else on.

I know a ton of wrestlers ride motorcycles, in fact Mr. Jesse James built custom choppers for Shane McMahon (son of evil genius, Vince), the Undertaker and Goldberg (you can check those bikes out at West Coast Choppers website if you want to check them out).

I remember when the Undertaker dropped the “Deadman” schtick for a little while and went into full on Amercian-Badass-biker-dude persona. I liked that Undertaker, sans dyed black hair, so I went looking for some videos of that era. Well, I found 2 great tastes that taste great together: “Hollywood” Hogan (the evil version of Hulk Hogan) destroying the Undertaker’s motorcycle during one of the shows. It’s painful to watch this gorgeous bike get destroyed, but wrestling is ultra-sensationalism at it’s best (or worst, however you see fit to view it).


The initial destruction by Hulk Hogan.


And of course, the reaction from the Undertaker. Don’t you love how he gets so mad that he starts kicking the bike? Like it’s going to make him feel better?
