#4. What ya gonna do? (Hulk Hogan)

Let me tell you something...

It's probably safe to say that the 1980s were not generally the heyday for catchphrases. The makeup of the audience was very different, with fans basically following the kayfabe agenda, booing the villains and cheering the heroes.

It would not really be until the late 90s when fans would be encouraged to insert themselves more into the action by being vocal in a way that didn't necessarily follow the intended script.

But one catchphrase from the 80s has certainly stood the test of time, and it is no surprise that it originated from the Alpha-male of this time period, Hulk Hogan.

Hogan was many things to many people, but one of the first things you noticed about him as a kid was his ability to reach through your television set with those insanely aggressive, highly charged backstage interviews he used to conduct with Mean Gene.

You couldn't help but feel the passion of the Hulkster coming directly at you every time he talked up an upcoming match. It was delightfully over-the-top in a way that only 1980s WWF could get away with.

These promo segments would typically conclude with the words 'what ya gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!' Even after hearing this so many times, it is still enough to give you goosebumps.
