"A Wild Slapnuts Appears" - One of the greatest contributions to wrestling, youtube and internet history

3:53 "There's only one F in mafia." "You put the F where the sun don't shine!"

That Scott Steiner segment at 3:12 was great, I love how that ended.

Dixie claimed that Hogan was the rocket fuel they needed to go to new heights. She was right, Hogan was the fuel. The gas that burned the entire building down!

I hope Hogan gets punished by the Wrestling Gods, for putting the six-sided Rings to rest.

The segment with Foley is the calmest I’ve ever seen Steiner.

The problem with Hogan is that he was just too old to be good for anything anymore. Between his ego and physical incapability he was just this prop people had to bump around. That said, Joker Sting is really underrated and it's a shame that a lot of people dismiss the whole thing as TNA just trying to run after a popular trend when Joker Sting actually did make total organic sense as a persona.

Poor abyss.... from mankind to Eugene in the blink of an eye

When Hogan came in TNA, I pretty much stopped watching that point. Last thing I need to see was that old man and his old friends go over the younger talent that I was enjoying watching. If I wanted to watch that s*** I'd watch WWE

Unpopular Opinion: The 6 Sided Ring is cool. It's one of the most unique thing about Impact Wrestling and made more sense than the Reverse Ladder & Battle Royale matches.

It sucks they never push matt Morgan during the aces and eights storyline they drop the ball with these guys.

Bubba " do the job Hulk" Hulk Hogan " that don't work for me brother" Bubba " but why Terry" Hogan " cause Steiner says your FAT"

19:35 "This moment right here." That statement hits hard. This man is pouring his heart out about a company that he loves reduced to a shell of it's former self. Like a great promo about wanting a shot at the heavyweight belt to become a legend, this promo is about the truth hitting hard. TNA wasn't the same after this moment. I saw the tweets. Every fan was disappointed and I fully understand. Keep up the great work, MarkyD123.

11 years ago now how time flies by. I remember it like it was yesterday seeing Hogan and bitchoff in that 4 sided ring. Knew the feeling of what are TNA doing bringing these two in knew it was going too be a massacre too the company.

“Lawyers couldn’t do it but wrestling could” 😂

I never knew sting brought a actual hawk 😅 also i liked sting joker gimmick it was entertaining

He was trying to squeeze the last few dollars out of the value of his name before Linda stole it.

19:30 TNA died here. Hulk Hogan left TNA looking stronger than a whole company and its owner.

hulk hogan angrily snorting is legitimately one of the funniest things ive ever seen

The reason why Hogan leaving the company felt like the end of impact is because after he lefted the company were drained of all their money. Most prominent tna wrestlers lefted.

There's only one f in Mafia. Yeah well you can stick that other f where the sun don't shine

Hogan entering TNA is what killed it. Not him leaving.

I said in 2010 that bringing in Hogan was bad for business. Turns out, it was.

FINALLY YES BEEN WAITING ALL WEEK FOR THIS

6:38 lol love the reference to Undertaker with that pronunciation of Hower Power

Honestly, thank you for being the only person who is a wrestling pundit of any sort who has ever treated that nuts slapping jabroni like he should be. And btw, no matter what he tries to claim these days, "Slap Nuts" is WANKING. Also, we should all start referring to "X-Pac heat", as "Slap Nuts"...as in "I'd rather go away and have a WANK than watch this lower mid-card jabroni try to convince the world that he's a main-eventer".

I need more Mick Foley/Scott Steiner conversations in my life.

2012 was the last year that TNA did a PPV for every month and starting in 2013 i really started to notice the downfall of TNA like it never recovered. Sure Impact Wresting now is ok to decent but it could of been even better if things were played right. Also i never liked the blue colour scheme TNA went with it was just very ugly to look at

Hogan killed TNA early on in his run, but it was a slow death. He moved them to Monday nights and killed their momentum stone dead in a vain attempt to get back at Vince McMahon. From there they never recovered that momentum and it was a steady downward slide. Towards the end you mention James Storm getting a title run during Hogan's time there, and while that's true, it had little to do with Hogan. It came later than it should've because Hogan said he "wasn't ready" to win the title, even though the crowd were reacting positively for him and were eager to see him win it. When it did come it meant way less than it should have.

I'd love to see you cover Dr. Death Steve Williams in ECW one day

5:12 “THIS, is where we shed our BLOOD, SETS AND TEARS!”

I love the image of the hulkster bleeding in front of the Konami logos. Big gamer energy from that.

Best Slapnut Sighting yet

Bound for Glory 2011 is the only TNA ppv I ever paid for.

I need more Scott Steiner in my life!

"Bischoff never gave me anything," Bischoff literally gave him a custom Harley on live TV

That's the first time I have seen that Mick and Steiner segment and it's gold

You said "hower power!" This nod to Undertaker has earned you a sub🤘🤘🤘

Great vid! There was one match that hasn't been mentioned though. His bout against Paul Wight in Memphis Wrestling in 2007. I think it was the last time he hit his Leg Drop as well.

1:17 a wild slapnuts used guitar shot, it was super effective

Dixie Carter = what happens when you let a Karen run a wrestling promotion

I remember watching around this time and that segment with Dixie begging on her knees hit me the same way it hit you. Like, it's over. It'll never feel the same. Having said that, give us what we want! Give us Wes Briscoe on Ring of the Hawk!

As a Hawk, you'd think you'd know that was a raven, not a hawk haha

@Markyd123 I don't even watch wrestling anymore, I've lost my faith in Kayfabe a long time ago but your channel is pure gold and highly entertaining. If Vince Russo was able to get his shot with the WWE from a writer for the WWE Magazine to a head writer for the WWE I don't see why they don't hire you for story writing or at least story editing.. you're a true fan with great insight, keep up the good work!!

Steiner and Foley interactions where always great.

I always loved how Sting constantly reinvented himself, but without stopping being Sting.

Hey hey hey now. Wrestle House won me over in the end. Also, a video on Wrestle House would be dope.

Mate the old 6 sided rings were so freaking good

Every segment has 20 people in the ring lol. All former WWE wrestlers, of course

Mark you are a shining light in the darkness of iwc

7:40 - not only is it impossible to sign a whole company over in one signature - but they aired this on nationally viewed television.. theres a thing called "duress" - and contracts aren't legal when signed under duress.

The end of this video made me feel very sad for TNA.

Joker Sting is supremely underrated. I think it’s an example of people hating something just because it was a part of a controversial time period of TNA.

Jeff Jarrett is the Rattata of professional wrestling.

WWE is the only wrestling Company he wasn't able to either completely destroy or almost destroy it.

I honestly believe, at the time Hogan left, Dixie had a golden opportunity, which she failed to realise. They should have returned to the 6 side ring. In fact I think if they did do today, it may raise them a step.

Scott Steiner is pure diamonds

The ending of this video hit me hard. I know EXACTLY what you felt/still feel about when Hulk left TNA. It's signified the end.

Great video man. It’s great to see you over 50k subscribers now.

Hogan claiming Bischoff never gave him anything was hilarious if anyone remembers WCW.. Man got him a Hollywood Hogan motorcycle for his "birthday"

Love The Hawk! Happy to find a British Wrestling youtuber who is not a Reddit smark. What Culture and Wrestle Talk make us Brits look bad. Also thanks Hawkster for shouting out Wolverhampton!

Hulk Hogan 2: The Search For More Money

The 6 sided ring was one of the coolest things about TNA back in the day. It really made them stand out. Getting rid of it was dumb.

I was there at Bound for Glory 2011

the last bust year of tan was 2012. because they were pushing their homegrown talent and the story lines were more interesting. the best years I would say was 2006, 7,8 and 12.

I hope this will be in the Chris Hemsworth Hulk hogan documentary🤣

The Joker Sting/Hulk feud was the last good thing either of them were ever involved in. Hulk would never wrestle again and Sting got back in good wrestling shape just in time for a really bad WWE run.

good vid, wasn't expecting joker sting to show up. You should do more 2008/9 vids since you say those are the best years

Professional wrestling has had time travelers, zombies, vampires, and people raised from the dead, but the idea that a company can change hands with a single signature is what breaks your immersion. Okay.

Joker Sting was the best thing that came from the Hogan/Bischoff era of TNA

1:18 i can't get enough of that music

Scott steiner kills me 😂😂😂

Thinking about the comment Hogan waking out segment at the end of his run, and the comment about Dixie looking like a fool I would like to interject that Vince McMahon made himself look like a fool constantly. It’s one of the most endearing things about him as a performer. On the other hand the Authority has been criticized for never looking weak and always gaining the upper hand. As for why this feels like such a blow ( and this is from a guy who wasn’t watching impact at the time) I think it’s because Hogan was probably the biggest name the company had signed and he just walk out without getting them to the promise land. It didn’t matter if he was a face or heel, wrestling or not, he couldn’t do for impact what he had done for WCW, WWE, and even a little bit for the AWA. It says that IMPACT would always ride a niche market but never crossover mainstream and become the number one company in US wrestling. And what’s worst is that Hogan just leaves. He doesn’t get anyone over on the way out. He doesn’t put over the company as a whole. There isn’t even some big thank you celebration. he just leaves and it makes TNA look like some kind of failed experiment, or worst, one of countless promotions that sprang up and then died out.

Tna died when the hawk removed the six sided ring.

“The idiot Abyss”

TNA quenched my wrestling thirst throughout the aughts(2004-09), I've got dozens of their PPVs on DVD and there isn't one bad card among them, no time wasted, total nonstop action. Sure, there were the 'fire Russo' gimmick matches, but even those were done better than their WCW counterparts. But the thing is that TNA had something for everyone: high flying action with the X-Division, awesome performers like AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal, Abyss and (the criminally, and eternally underrated) Fallen Angel, a solid Tag-Team division, some legendary hardcore material (do yourself a favor and look up the hardcore match between Chris Harris and James Storm). It was an amazing time to be a fan of Sting and Kurt Angle, as they both shined. And Knockouts > Divas. Also, I loved the six-sided ring. Then came Hogan.

15:17-15:40 😭😭😭😭😭😭the most cringiest promo of all time

Hogan could never defeat miss tna Bruce though

im sad i missed Joker Sting, that wasn't like the Rock making a come back, that was an actual evolution.

Wonder if British boot camp had much to do with Hogan off screen? Rockstar Spud took the ball and ran with it. He did so well. A video on what Spud did in Tna would be good. His teaming with Ec3 and later feud was good. A video on the careers of all involved with British Boot Camp would be good too.

You should do a retrospective on AJ Styles "Rick Flair" gimmick. If you haven't already.

Hogan not wanting his daughter around wrestlers is a very unfortunate piece of foreshadowing to a very real and very unfortunate turn of events later down the line.

Oh the Hawk once again strikes! LOVE IT! XD And I just loved the bit of Mick Foley and Scott Steiner, maybe it's just me, but that segment was one the funniest if because of Scott's honest responses to Foley's questions about Hogan.

Scott Steiner is so damn funny 😆🤣😂

Scott Steiner can predict the future!

Don't you just hate being controlled by a hower power.

Wow! Thank you for filling me in on all I missed during that time!

Wildest slapnuts appeared

You're right, TNA was great from 2005-08! Hogan's run was the drizzling shits, completely embarrassing brother.

2010's Hogan's run in TNA was 💩 I guess the later years was ok

So this also the origins for the birth of The Hawk. Debuted with Sting to terrify Bishoff

New viewer. Subscribed because of the Slap Nuts running joke

I liked joker sting. It was entertaining

Scott Steiner was awesome in that video.

They really hit Abyss with a brick

They should have done it in india,those stadium would never remain empty

Vee Infuso Jr.... Gold.

"Hogan got back in slightly better ring shape." Um, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't his back so messed up he couldn't even drop the leg on that horrific Hulkamania Tour and had to use the big boot instead?

Probably my favorite video from you hahah, “I love how he labeled a six sided ring “a play pen ring”

Scott f'n Steiner speaking prophetic words to Mic Foley about Hogan. Totally forgot about that (and i wish i could earase the entire Hogan-TNA stuff from history). Great viedeo as always hawk and keep up the good work
