What is mainstream? The peak of actual mainstream coverage of U.S. pro wrestling was 1926-35.

@davemeltzerWON The question is would wrestling have gond mainstream without Hulk Hogan
English
@DaveInTheRC If Hogan was Japanese, Meltzer would call him God!
English
Yes…
Doesn’t matter what Meltzer or any other choad says. Pro wrestling is relevant now because of Hulk Hogan.
Debate your mama.
Thrilla the Gorilla@ThrillaRilla369
Is Hulk Hogan the greatest professional wrestler of all time?

@MjcChioda I have a sore neck just looking at how tight that bowtie is brother! 🤣😂

The ref should’ve of seen that!! That’s when wrestling was wrestling!!!!

#OnThisDayInWWE 35 years ago on Saturday Night's Main Event: A shocking experience for Tito Santana! ⚡⚡ 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

@DougieFuckbag @davemeltzerWON Try again, I am saying WWF Hogan era was more popular than the 60s and 70s Aussie wrestling 🤦
English
@AFSBenJones @davemeltzerWON Do you have any idea how difficult it is for a Seppo to even acknowledge other countries let alone absolutely rinse you on not knowing your own country's history?
This is fucking shameful. It's like you explaining to Dave how you planned a school shooting.
English
Wrestling was so much bigger on TV in Australia before Hogan. It had national TV in the 60s under Barnett & Doyle and was the top paying place for wrestlers in the world. And I know historians who said it was even bigger in Australia prior to that.
Ben Jones #AFS 🇦🇺@AFSBenJones
@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.
English
@Immortalkillih @davemeltzerWON Of course it was popular in the 60s and 70s. I am saying that Hogan and WWF was more popular both domestically and internationally.
English
@AFSBenJones @davemeltzerWON No it wasn't
Hulkamania wasn't even the reason wrestling was big here in Aus , its been big way before that moron
You have 0 idea lmao
English
The U.S. isn't the world. Neither of their peaks as a TV product touched many people in many places.
Nurri30g@nurri30g
@hedgeguy78 @davemeltzerWON Yes- Austin peak equaled hogan peak hulkamania peak as the two hottest peaks of all time

@AFSBenJones @Yukxysm @davemeltzerWON I know being a Mets fan means you’re used to losing a lot, but take this loss and just move on. Do not debate wrestling history with the foremost wrestling historian.
English
@Yukxysm @davemeltzerWON Who are they? Hogan is a household name (globally).
English
@AFSBenJones @davemeltzerWON This simply isn't true you need to look up the houses that world championship wrestling run by Jim Barnett was doing. There are much bigger wrestling stars in Australia than Hulk Hogan.
English
@davemeltzerWON Please list those said more important wrestlers and explain why?
English
There were several wrestlers more important but I think he’d top six in that category. Maybe higher.
Steve Kim - the Thomas Sowell of Boxing@SteveKim323
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..
English
I was there man, the struggle was real damn it!

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

@TStephens91 @RefSuperDavePWD @WWE @Topps @Markout_Moments @DerekSabato @dlobrown75 @RefBrandonTolle @Drunken_Pop @Sting @DDPYoga @RealKevinNash @EBischoff @theraveneffect Isn't there a potential signed Randy Savage card in there???
English
I’ve caught wind the @RefSuperDavePWD bought some @WWE @Topps Chrome cards. I have SEALED product of Topps 1999 WCW cards. I’m thinking we should open these on @Markout_Moments…stay tuned

WrestleMania 3 Andre The Giant vs Hulk Hogan from the seventeenth row of The Silverdome.
There were two WrestleManias before it… but this was when everything changed. It was a defining moment in modern pro wrestling.
Watching in real time as a kid, nothing seemed bigger.

Thank you Sydney for accepting me as your own and believing in me hope you enjoyed it as much I did we family forever💜💍

@NBL We can't vote on you being a flog but you won that award and it's yours to lose.

@NBL Being a flog is what he will be remembered for most this season.
