TheOlympicHero Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Which Smackdown did triple h go mental and smash a tv camera in the middle of the ring? I remember Vince warned him not to but he did it anyway. Â Also was wondering if I was dreaming or not but I saw a pic of Hogan confronting Giant Gonzalez in 1993 at a house show. Now at mania 9 the fans were yelling for Hogan when the Giant laid oiut the deadman on a stretcher. Were their any plans for this feud? I know Hogan left in July following the tour but seems strange having this confrontation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Vince warned him not to but he did it anyway. It was in June 2002, and I think he went mental on Billy & Chuck as well.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted May 18, 2010 Paid Members Share Posted May 18, 2010 (edited) A bit of an obscure question here guys... Â Must have happened around October 1996. Shawn Michaels is in the ring giving his standard going-on and on interview. Camera swiftly cuts to the back, and Psycho Sid is there with some young guy by the throat. Sid then says "This is what is going to happen to you at Survivor Series!!!". Kicks the guy in the stomach, power-bombs the bloke onto a table. Thing is, the table doesn't break and we have the hilarious moment of the guy bouncing off and zooming right past Sid like he's just running by him. He then lands face-first on the ground. I remember the power-bomb looking particularly brutal. The guy was a big bloke too. Â Who was this guy? and what was his supposed connection to Shawn Michaels? Thanks there.
