Just saw a Michael Jackson stan saying Thriller is bigger than 1989...

Agree or disagree


@davemeltzerWON The question is would wrestling have gond mainstream without Hulk Hogan


Is Hulk Hogan the greatest professional wrestler of all time?


#OnThisDayInWWE 35 years ago on Saturday Night's Main Event: A shocking experience for Tito Santana! โกโก Think this is one of the first times we hear the sound effect for The Mountie's shock stick/cattle prod Such a comical but clever idea! @MjcChioda @RealJimmyHart



@davemeltzerWON Also, Japan is not the world Dave. I am in Australia, TV was the very reason why Hulkamania was a HUGE deal here! Don't speak on behalf of other countries.



@hedgeguy78 @davemeltzerWON Yes- Austin peak equaled hogan peak hulkamania peak as the two hottest peaks of all time





Finished this up last night. I enjoyed it. I was not a 'Hulkamaniac' but there's no denying this: he was the most important and biggest pro wrestler, ever. Without him, the business does not expand the way it did in the 80's. Like the rest of us, he had his flaws, but at the same time he impacted (positively) a multitude of people..

Before streaming, the only way to watch a WWF or WCW pay-per-view you missed was to wait for it to show up at Blockbuster on VHS. That wait was often months. Coliseum Home Video handled WWF releases throughout the 1980s and 1990s, and a Friday night trip to Blockbuster to find a copy of WrestleMania or SummerSlam on the shelf was a legitimate event for wrestling fans. The VHS tapes were also edited. Matches were sometimes cut, run times were trimmed, and the versions fans rented were not always the full broadcast. For a generation of fans, a Blockbuster copy was the only version of a pay-per-view they ever saw. #WWE #Wrestling #WWF #RetroWrestling #Blockbuster
