Today, Boss Man would have clearly and obviously been cooperating with Hogan to set this spot up. And both of them would have been about 100 pounds lighter too so the bump wouldn't even look good.
Not trying to oversell it. This wasn't the best match of the era or anything of that sort. But it was a good spot that fit the context of the match and was much more exciting than seeing the same big spots over and over again every damn match, which cheapens the spot and makes them less exciting.
