Let me tell you something, brother. Whatcha gonna do, when Hulkamania runs over you? It was the question we demanded being answered by every opponent of the Hulkster in the mid-1980s. Hogan was the one who combined this business and entertainment and did so with catch phrases, training, saying prayers and eating vitamins.
Every little kid believed in the canary and red. Even when he turned his back on the good of the business and turned heel, we all imitated his bad as cool attitude.

I've been a fan of this business for over 40 years and have been writing about it for the past 20 years. I'm an old school NWA guy who believes in the Texas Bull Rope Match and the wrestlers from "parts unknown". Yes, the Midnight Rider was robbed and should have been NWA World Champion. Wanna know more? Just ask more. Or better yet, read my work.
