|  #1 Posted on 18.9.04 0130.19 | Instant Rating: 1.51 | With all the news regarding Hogan's surprising return (for now a one shot deal), it reminded me of that mega huge 10 minute standing ovation pop from Smackdown a few years ago. I have been trying to think if there has been a moment as surreal and exciting as the way the crowd reacted to him. Not even The Rock or Steve Austin in their prime ever received a non-stop 10 minute standing ovation from the entire arena. Can anyone think of a crowd reaction that even comes close? | Promote this thread! |           | TopTenPro

"Abuse of power!!" all he could scream at Eric Bischoff, a great moment.

They would have cheered for Flair for two hours that night. Flair realized that there was a show to do, got on the mike and delivered a great promo.

WWE was letting the man who made them celebrate the fans as they celebrated him. As bad as people talk about Hulk, this night belonged to the fan.

The 10 minute ovation, he was overcome with emotion (understandably) after all the rumours and power struggles the fans still loved him. That is the ultimate mark of respect for a great man.

Maybe it wasn't a long ovation like the others (although they went off the air so i don't know how long it lasted) but possibly the biggest pop I've heard.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.

That match had the biggest pop of all time at the end. But it was when Stone Cold's music hit and he came down and drilled the Rock with a chair giving Foley the win.
The glass shattered and the place freaking exploded.

All you coud hear from his music was If ya and that was it. I will the loudest pop I ever heard live was for Foley at this year's Rumble, I lost my damn voice.
Hogan is an icon and something from days gone past where the good guys won and no one cared about backstage politics or buyrates or ratings. Its not to say it never happened and Hogan should have dropped the belt to Piper or someone of that nature, but he will always be a part of most of our childhood. He should get standing Ovations and a big return. However, he should not be put in the title picture or most main events. I am hoping for Hogan to have one last run, putting over most of the new guys and then retiring into the night. | TheBucsFan

I love when criticisms of Hogan, or anyone really, don't even make sense. Who said anything about a last run? He's appearing in a pre-taped segment on Smackdown last I heard, the same deal Austin and Foley are getting. Hardly a cry for attention. If anything it will brighten up a dismal product, having, you know, actual stars appear on the show instead of no-name hosses attempting to sodomize commentators.

Same here. His return on Raw after being "banned" from the WWF at Fully Loaded '99. "No Chance" hit and the fans were expecting Shane, and out strolls Vinnie Mac to defend his wife from Triple H. It was surreal.
That match had the biggest pop of all time at the end. But it was when Stone Cold's music hit and he came down and drilled the Rock with a chair giving Foley the win.
The glass shattered and the place freaking exploded.
Agreed. Every single person in that arena jumped to their feet and the noise drowned out the entrance music. A truly classic moment.

Agreed. Austin's always had huge pops when his music hits (even during his heel run), but that night was something else.
I was in the Georgia Dome when Goldberg won the title. There was a hell of a lot of shit being thrown after he won. I got completely doused with drinks. Extremely loud is all I can say.

That said, I too hope Hogan's done with WWE. Last thing I need is my childhood wrecked by him having to job to Orton.
