Counterevidence Watch: Hogan In Japan

With regards to Hulk Hogan, I would actually tend to agree with Stephanie if I had only seen Hogan's WWF/WWE matches.  But he didn't always wrestle in WWF/WWE/WCW.  He spent a few years in New Japan Pro Wrestling.  And they take Pro-Wrestling very seriously in Japan, much more so than in the US, as such, he had to show that he could actually wrestle, and he can.

The reader sends along a YouTube of Hogan wrestling Japanese legend Antonio Inoki. Savvy wrestling fans will find the fault in this comparison: comapred to Anoki, David Arquette looks like a good wrestler.
