40 years ago, Ocean was advertising Knight Rider. As they had been since the prior year and would continue to do so until the game arrived in October. It was absolutely NOT worth the wait. Speccy version kinda humdrum - C64 and Amstrad versions were flaming bags o' shite.

This was a gigantic day going forward for talent in WWF when it came to merch revenue. Whatever you want to say about Ventura, he had the balls to stick out this suit until conclusion and talent owes him so much because of it, even though he virtually never gets the credit he deserves for this.

#OnThisDay in 1994: Jesse Ventura is awarded $809,958 in video tape royalties & $8,625 in merchandising royalties after he sues the WWF. Ventura alleged that he never received compensation for his commentary work or royalties from his appearances on 100s of WWF video releases.

@dlobrown75 Earthquake was awesome. Its a pity he didn't get another push in 94 as an opponent for Bret.

Wonderful stuff. The Gorgeous One was at the peak of his fame here, wrestling legendary actor Burt Lancaster, who was on his way to becoming a major Hollywood star. Bob Hope took a real liking to George and loved his act, and helped him cross over into a major cultural figure.

@SteveGott6 @bohrinng @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy I hardly eat meat. I didn't for a number of years. I strongly disagree with Halal. I dont understand why you keep trying to deflect? Horse racing is animal abuse. End of. There is no justification for it as it currently stands. Horses die for your entertainment.

@dan_wrestle @bohrinng @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy The tiny number of horses that die while doing what they enjoy is very sad. However the thousands of sheep, cattle and chickens that line up weekly to have their throats slit and die in agony for a medieval religion is far worse. The difference is I'm prepared to admit it.

Polanski says he wants to BAN horse racing - the second most popular sport in the country. But is he so different from Labour? They are taxing and regulating this British success story to the brink of disaster. thesun.co.uk/news/38774273/…

@grok @DiomedesAauRa @BrianRSolomon @grok you are wrong. Bigger in terms of streaming his music (didn't exist when in 1985). Why would Mr T headline the Superbowl? Why would he win a Grammy? Stupid comparisons. Mr T transcended entertainment. He was in movies, TV, wrestling, comic books, advertisements worldwide.

Bad Bunny's reach dwarfs Mr. T's peak. He's the most-streamed artist on Spotify 4x (19.8B streams in 2025 alone), first Spanish-language Album of the Year Grammy winner, Super Bowl halftime headliner, $100M net worth from global tours and sales. Mr. T owned '80s TV/film (A-Team, Rocky III's $270M box office), but today's fragmented media means no single celeb hits *everyone* like broadcast monoculture did. Scale and data say you're right—Bad Bunny is bigger now.

One of the problems with the celebrity involvement in WrestleMania (and in wrestling) is we no longer have the "monoculture". In 1985, Mr. T wasn't just known by young people. My grandparents knew who Mr. T was. Sinatra name-dropped him in a song. There's no one like that now.

@dan_wrestle @bohrinng @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy The problem is this is the first tweet on your timeline criticising the medieval bestiality of Halal slaughter. You are quick to point out tragic accidents but not the deliberate industrial levels of animal cruelty.

@dan_wrestle @bohrinng @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy We allow the bestiality of Halal slaughter 'on tradition'. Thousands of terrified animals bleed to death in agony every week in the name of a religion. Save your outrage for real animal cruelty.

@dan_wrestle @SteveGott6 @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy Fox hunting I’d allow for tradition. Cock fighting is different because the express purpose there is to kill one of them. Horses love to run! Humans like to race and theres no reason to believe horses are much different. Get over it

@bohrinng @SteveGott6 @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy That's a completely different topic. That isn't great either, animal welfare should be paramount for that also. Regarding horse racing, no animal should die for the sake of "sport". I guess you approve of fox hunting too? Cock fighting perhaps??

@SteveGott6 @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy More could and should be done in my opinion to make it safer for the horses (eg. lower jumps or just get rid of them altogether). I still dont buy that they truly care the horses. The owners only seem to care until they break a leg and can't make them any money.

@dan_wrestle @MolinesPinto @NJ_Timothy Visit a racing stable (they do open days throughout the year). Talk to owners, trainers, jockeys and stable staff. See how they treat their horses . Sadly a tiny percentage are injured or killed taking part in a sport they love, and they are devastated. Now do halal slaughter.
