Hulk Hogan’s TNA status might be up in the air at the moment, should he not resign with TNA could we see another Hulk Hogan WWE DVD in the future?
Some may say that another Hogan DVD is unnecessary, I however would disagree. The previous Hulk Hogan documentary was more than 10 years ago, and with the improvements with WWE features over this time a Hulk Hogan biography is a must. Plus let’s not forget this December will also mark the 30th Anniversary of the birth of Hulkamania!
So for the 29th edition of Fantasy Concept, let’s look at: The Immortal Story of Hulk Hogan…
Is there a name more synonymous with sports-entertainment than Hulk Hogan? The key figure in WWE’s rise from regional attraction to worldwide entertainment leader in the 1980s, The Hulkster’s superhuman size and undeniable charisma set the standard for what a Superstar should be.
Now relive the entire “Immortal Story of Hulk Hogan” with this career spanning documentary; hear from Hulk Hogan’s closest confidants, peers and the man himself. This three disc set is also packed more than 30 historic and newly discovered matches from his entire career.

Would this set interest you? It’s great to hear your feedback, so please use the comments section below or tweet me @_MarkD_

– hulk Hogan vs hakeem ( SNME )
– hulk Hogan vs yokozuna ( 1993 in Germany )
– hulk Hogan vs vader ( superbowel 95 )
Honestly…. never cared for Hogan, as I thought he was a little overrated! But, this does look to be an interesting set! Great matches, great Doc., great cover! You got it down Mark D!!! Great Job! I’d buy it! Then again, I buy every WWF/E dvd that comes out… lol.
It sounds good to me, the only thing is I don’t have a bluray player, it would have to be regular dvd, but it does sound interesting.
I would like to buy it if it came out sound really good!
Can you do a fantasy concept on Buff Bagwell? He had a great career and does everyone remember that hat he wore in the nWo?
Buff Bagwell was a piece of shit egomaniac with a terrible work ethic and an over inflated sense of self worth.
Not a big Hogan fan but this looks pretty sweet…yeah…I’d prolly eventually buy it.
May I recommend u do a Ted DiBiase fantasy concept next?
nice concept but i’d be happy if wwe didn’t produce another Hogan dvd for the next 10 years.
I’d buy it! Let’s get this done! And make it only on DVD because Vince hates blu-ray! Viva DVD! Adios blu-ray, Brother!”
Vader. Nash, Hall, Owen Hart, JBL, Ron Simmons, pretty much every name who’s lasted long enough to have a definitive story that needs to be told through a documentary set.
I don’t need to sit thru an hour or more for JBL’s matches. His one year title reign was bad enough.
I totally agree with your picks. What about documentary sets on Demolition and Arn Anderson?
What about Rick Rude?
Demolition?! Lol!
You should do a fantasy concept on Kevin Nash, a lot of people wants to see a Nash set.
Why anyone would wanna see a Kevin Nash dvd for? He was just a big slow guy with very limited skill set who wcw title reigns were mostly tainted. if anything, i’d rather see a scott hall dvd. that guy has a better story to tell, he had charisma, could wrestle and a great mind for pro-wrestling altogether.
I’m not against another Hogan set and this one would be a very interesting one. I’d also add his match with Taker from Tuesday In Texas and Sting from Starrcade 97. The reasons why should be obvious – Hogan beat Taker and his match with Sting was the end to WCW’s biggest story line.
With all of that said though, Hogan’s had many sets out already while there are other deserving names who haven’t even gotten one set yet. Vader is one of those names that come to mind. He’d make a great topic for this column.
This looks like a very interesting concept which I would be interested in buying when it became cheap or was in a sale, due to not being a huge fan of Hogan’s work. Nevetheless, he is always entertaining and the scope which this DVD would cover is pretty remarkable so it would be a great set I’m sure. Great job once again. =)
They’ve already done the “Hulk Still Rules” DVD. What new could they possibly add to it? Just the stuff that he did with Shawn, Orton, and Vince. That’s hardly enough to warrant a whole new DVD.
In the spirit of the “Fantasy” idea, I’d remove the Halloween Havoc match with Warrior, and add something from the ’88-’89 feud with Macho Man. That was a pivotal feud in his career, and this match list covers nothing from it. Otherwise, I’d take out the Beverly Bros. match (there’s no purpose having a squash match on a DVD) and swap it out for another WCW match (very little of that era of his career is covered). I think the Wrestling At the Chase match is a brilliant idea. Nice touch! I would personally keep the Hogan vs. Andre match from Pontiac off (it was on the first DVD) and swap it out with another match they had that possibly hasn’t been seen.
Non-match footage I would try to add would include the contract signings for both major Andre matches (leading to Mania III, and the one at the first Royal Rumble that lead to their Main Event match).
It’s a good idea for a first, but it will be the second, and there’s not a lot you can add to make it much different than the first, other than matches, angles and promos.
That’s awesome brother! Something like this definitely needs to happen for Hogan. I liked Hulk Still Rules but it was one of the earlier WWE documentary DVDs and was probably an experiment at the time, It worked pretty well obviously but has been surpassed to say the least and it really skimmed over a lot of things. A lot of heavy shit has gone down with Hogan since then too.My list would probably be slightly different. I think I’d include e.g. Savage (Superstars London 1989) and Savage (Uncensored 1998) as well as one of the tag team mateches with Bret Hart, among others. If they bring the Hulkster back I think a blu ray on the same level as Stone Cold’s would be essential, brother!
Good set, but I would have Hogan vs. Flair from the November 12, 1991 Challenge taping. Also, the Hogan Andre contract signing was on Superstars February 28, 1987.
Holy crap!! I’m not kidding, I was literally imagining this last night!! I was thinking “I wonder what a new Hogan dvd would be like…” Get out of my mind, Mark D! 😉
this would be one heck of a set, I would also make a bonus feature of a few episodes of Hulk Hogan’s Rock-N-Wrestling
I wouldn’t mind seeing the entire series of Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘N Wrestling released in a box set.
Plus 1 on the Rock N Wrestling episodes 🙂 This Hogan Fantasy BD sounds like a dream!!! I’d buy it in a heartbeat!!
There’s only been 2 Eddie DVDs.
This would be fabulous! But WWE would much rather release a sixth DVD on Mysterio or Eddie
The DVD cover looks like Hogan’s first WWF Wrestling Spotlight magazine cover
You’re absolutely right. The Fall 1988 issue.
Meant to say Winter 1988. Savage was Fall 1988, the 1st issue.
I’d buy this.
This would be a awesome set
I was never a Hulkamaniac but this set would be a good collector’s set
Love this idea. I hope he and TNA part ways and he returns home to WWE. A proper documentary for Hogan is way overdue. A cool bluray feature would be the story behind the angle with Russo at Bash at the Beach 2000 and why he layed down for Sting at Halloween Havoc 1999.
When does this come out? I haven’t heard anything about it
November 31st
This would be a great dvd.But i dont understand why the wwe wont do a ultimate andre the giant dvd ?
I would love a Andre documentary, long over due
Would definitely buy this.
WWE would photoshop the block logo on Hogan’s bandana if they were to use that cover picture.
With that match listing I’d buy it. Though I’d like to add the tag title match from Vengeance 2002. That match needs to be a DVD or Blu-ray that’s not a crazy price on ebay.
A question to Mark D, from the titles on your list of stories I have a good idea what they’re all about except one. Starrcade 83. What does that have to do with Hogan?
Hogan was originally suppose to team with Wahoo McDaniel to take on Bob Orton & Dick Slater on the first Starrcade, but didn’t.
Never heard that one before. I think it’s safe to say he made the right choice.
Hogan was actually suppose to have a tag match at Starrcade 83 with him and “Chief” Wahoo McDaniel vs Dick Slate vs Bob Orton Jr. before returning to WWF.
Untrue. Read the Gary Hart book, he was the booker of Starrcade 83 and he defunks this rumor ( since he would know) and also talks about that famous PWI issue with that made up Starrcade line up.
I meant debunks not defunks lol.
I’m not a big Hogan fan in the least but man, this Blu-Ray looks so good and would love for one day, this to come true. Like, the WWE sees this concept and decides to make it and give you royalties for the concept. MONEY! Excellent work.
I’m not too fond of Hogan anymore n i’d rather see a DVD/Blu-Ray concept for Shawn Michaels, though it looks good the way you’ve done it.
Please get WWE to make this!
Hogan will not resign with TNA ! Saw it on Wikipedia ( Sorry for the Spoiler !)
A 2 Documentary would be great ! It also would be nice to see the Hulkster at Wrestlemania XXX 🙂
i meant 2 Hour Documentary
I don’t think many people are going to view Wikipedia as a reliable source, so it’s not really a spoiler.
What’s going on is that Hogan’s contract with TNA expires on Oct. 1st. They shot some stuff at the last taping that could go either way depending on if he chooses to renew his deal or not. That’s it. Nobody knows if he’s actually leaving or not.
