Watched it live. It was all the talk in the lunch room the next day. Also Alex Wright has a massive dick. Go AEW!

That was a silly decision to pop a rating for a week. Hogan should have held the title until Sting.

/pw/ zoomers may not know it but back in the day the rack was the most over finishing hold in the world for the span of like a year or two. crowds would go fucking crazy when luger signaled for it. it was so strong hogan tapped out almost instantly

It's underrated. Argentina Backbreaker is also a real gem.

torture rack and WCW Lex Luger were extremely based
still have no idea why Vince booked him like that in WWF. the narcissist as a gimmick doesn’t work when half of the heels can be described as narcissists

In 97? He was just starting to peak. He didn’t hit megastar until 98.
