@davemeltzerWON only probably becuase he was not watching in the mid to late 80's he was to busy Knocking boxers out in record times and being youngest to get the strap and training hard.

Tyson's favorite wrestlers were Bruno Sammartino, Mil Mascaras and Superstar Graham as a kid.
Los Coliseinos@_LosColiseinos
Mil Máscaras y Mike Tyson. El encuentro se dio el 8 de enero de 1991. Máscaras fue invitado por el CMB debido a que Tyson declaró que Máscaras era su luchador favorito. En el encuentro también estuvieron presentes Ricardo López, Rubén Olivares, Humberto González y Pipino Cuevas.

@TheBobHolly dude when Brock Lesnar came out and took those chair shots and his monstrous triceps i mean my god now that's a debut , OBA dances most of the time.
English
@nicklopiccolo @davemeltzerWON have you read this ? a bit long but great read lol
English
@nicklopiccolo Hogan just tore his shirt off in puragtory after reading this glorius piece 😂
English
@davemeltzerWON I'd even say Warrior was worse then Hogan lol
English
Nobody is holding it against anyone. It's the myth that everyone in the world knew the guy in the 80s which is nowhere near accurate. Even today, there are many place where there is almost no pro wrestling knowledge whatsoever by the public. It's like saying Bruno was known worldwide and me pointing out that wasn't the case, and arguing that if Vince's father got TV all over the world he would be. That penetration is the key to everything.
English
Not in primes. In the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and a few other countries for sure. WWF only had penetration in Europe, US, Canada, Japan and Australia/New Zealand in the 80s. It got much bigger since Hogans prime. Even in Mexico, Hogan was not known (Ernesto Ocampo has brought that up this week). Hogan was very well known in Japan in his prime for New Japan, not WWF.
Richard Dowle@RichD_00
@davemeltzerWON Hogan was more globally recognisable in his prime than Cena. Go to any developed country in the world and ask them to name five wrestlers throughout history, Hogan will tally highest. Rock’s unparalleled fame is through movies. Hogan’s cultural icon status is through wrestling.

@DaveBoyce @WWE this would be epic also we have bc place pack 50,000 plus easy with open or closed roof , WWE needs to remember canada has some of tbe best crowds.

@ClownBall9 can we believe for nearly a decade we wanted nothing to do with this guy and now he is our saviour i know he had a 1300+ day run he just has this god mode aura on him now , probably finally great for him to finally get that after all the hate he got for so many years.
English
@CodyModyMody44 @davemeltzerWON Dave your not just mad because you were not featured in the Hogan documentary are you 😂 JK
English
@davemeltzerWON You absolutely will. Bruno hasn't been lost, Hogan won't go away. Do a poll, go into different cities around the world and ask people who on your important list of people in pro-wrestling they know. Hogan will win hands downs. That's importance.

@WrestleOps He's Junior Soprano. He is the "boss" in name only. TKO runs the show
English
Triple H has signed a new multi-year employment contract with WWE to remain in charge as Chief Content Officer.
(via PWlnsider)
English
Yep, that's why he's ranked so highly and I'd put him ahead of Sammartino even though Sammartino drew far more in New York.

@davemeltzerWON this is true but Dave were talking on a world wide scale not just NY, my immigrant parents were fans of Hogan , hell there parents knew of Hogan half way across the world , Hogan expanded wrestling to places we probably never heard of all we are saying .

Hogan's MSG drawing record was FAR behind Bruno Sammartino, Pedro Morales or Bob Backlund, and I think Rocca and Billy Graham but I'd have to go back and look. Billy's record is spectacular. When Billy & Bruno died I listed both of their records at MSG in articles on their deaths.
Chris Todd@ChrisTodd420
@davemeltzerWON Hogan gave Vince sellouts at MSG time after time by himself. You forget that? Hogan sold out MSG, Vince was along for the sellouts.....big difference. How many Andre the Giant shirts did Vince Sr.orJr. sell? Few, Hogan was the moneymaker. Hogan left, so did the sellouts at MSG.
English
@DirtyDomDom i don't know about invested lol story line was actually getting annoying same thing every week since last summer almost lol and then on top you gave no idea what they were saying.
English
Kairi Sane’s release feels less like business and more like personal.
✅ WWE invested months into the emotional Asuka bullying storyline.
✅ Fans were fully invested, waiting for Kairi's epic revenge and ultimate payoff.
✅ Instead, after a brutal RAW segment, they just pull the plug and fire her?
✅ Complete disrespect to the Sky Pirate. She deserved a much better ending! 🏴☠️
English
@davemeltzerWON but Dave tell me this didnt Vince basically put all his stock into WM1 and if it failed he would have never recovered , he took a major gamble and with mostly the help of Hogan he succeeded.
English
I'd agree with that. His was a huge favorite with kids during the 70s.
Roy Lucier@roylucier
@ocampoxlaw I’ll make the argument that Mil was MORE popular in Japan than he was in Mexico
English
@davemeltzerWON put it this way my parents, immigrants knew hogan and were fans hell there parents in the old country knew who hogan was lol anyones else no maybe my dad since he watched in the late 80s to mid 90s.
English
Ric Flair does not belong on any WWE Mount Rushmore and Andre wasn’t there long past WM3 explosion. It’s Austin, Hogan, Cena, Roman, Rock, Undertaker and HBK fighting for the four spots.
Rocinante@Roci_Reader
The Rock reveals his WWE Mount Rushmore picks. Who’s on yours?
English

English
