War Paint, Powder and a Magic Horn! This match had it all! Kamala even bit Hogan's arm, violent and staying true to his cannibal gimmick! Now thats psychology. The Desert Storm match is only better because it has a fireball and fireballs are fucking bitchin'. Hogan needed to have more insane gimmick brawls in his career.
WWF World Heavyweight Champion Hulk Hogan vs Kamala - MSG 1/19/87 No DQ
One of my all-time favorite Hulk Hogan matches and maybe his best match of the 80s against a monster heel. After watching a couple Kamala matches for Tag Teams Back Again (on the Place To Be Nation!), I thought he was fantastic at committing to his character, timing his bumps and working larger than life. I went back to watch this match and it is a doozy! I love Kamala's entrance with the mask and Kim Chee and The Wizard. Hogan in war paint is always bitchin. Kamala jumpstarts the match and whips Hogan like the dog he is with the belt. Hogan fires back and smashes the belt upside Kamala's head. The MSG crowd is molten hot for this match. I need to check out the matches leading up to this. Hogan gets distracted beating up on the Wizard and ends being felled by Kamala's biggest weapon his overhand chop. Kamala busting out the heavy artillery with headbutts and a nice side kick. I love the Kamala splash, he really leaps into it. He only gets two! Imagine Kamala as the World Champion that would have been badass. Kamala tries to go up top, but misses and then misses again. Here comes the Hulkster! Hogan choking with the tape and generally kicking ass. Big bodyslam gets a huge pop! Kamala only goes down when he needs to maximize these pops. Hogan misses the elbow. Kamala bites the injured arm. Staying true to the cannibal gimmick AND using psychology. I marked out hard for that. Hogan throws powder in the face of Kamala. Punches Wizard in the head to get the magical horn, rams that into Kamala's head and hits the leg drop for the 1-2-3. It is not Cena vs Umaga, but it is tons of fun! ****1/4
