Did dusty Rhodes ever wrestle hulk hogan? Vince seemed to miss two huge matches with flair vs hogan and with Rhodes vs hogan.

Rhodes vs. Hogan would have never worked. Both were fan favourites and I don't think the chemistry would work anyhow if both men faced each other in a match.

only time that it could have happened was during Hogans first run in WWF as a heel. Dusty had a cup of coffee or two, mostly at MSG I believe, but I dont think anything happened.

They wrestle one another in this tag match, and I seem to remember a one-on-one match between the two either in Japan or the WWF prior to Hulkmania. However, that might have been a house show where no footage exists.

there was the tag match posted, another tag match that featured hogan teaming with hansen vs backlund and dusty, and after a bit of digging i was able to come up with these two matches: - hulkhoganhistory.weebly.com/1977-1983.html wouldn't be quite the same thing, but dusty rhodes feud with superstar billy graham was fantastic, and those matches are certainly not difficult to locate. |

Wait, so Dusty is 2-0 against Hogan? Well, we know what match will be on the undercard at Mania next year. No way will Hogan let someone be undefeated against him. |

With all the coke Hogan's blown in the last 30 years, do you think he even remembers who Dusty Rhodes is? |

Yeah so all pre hulkamania days. I kind of think Venice wouldn't have done it because if he went face vs face hogan would have gotten schooled boo'd even if we were all hulkamaniacs back then. Rhodes just oozed charisma, more so than hogan.
I am surprised there was not an NWO hogan vs Rhodes match.

I won't deny Dusty's charisma (or toughness and athleticism) but he went through a period in the late 80s where some fans began to boo him because they felt the feud with the Horsemen never ended. Of course, by the time Dusty got to the WWF, Hogan's popularity was starting to erode a bit as other major babyfaces were being established. It may well have been a mixed crowd. |
