>>15660339I recently rewatched it and it really is the epitome of pro wrestling. I'm not gonna do a tl;dr analysis but if you analyze all the details, how Hogan and Rock structure the match in relation to the crowd as a "third party", how it's paced, how the spots are laid out, every move delivered and every move sold, it's really beautiful. It's a magnum opus. Wrestling today is too rehearsed and choreographed. A parallell to this is stand-up comedy. Stand-up comedian legends improvised and constantly adapted to crowd reaction while a shitty comedian just runs his script and expects "insert laughter here" spots. A wrestling legend improvise and adapt to crowd reaction while shitty wrestlers run their script.
