    Hulkamania was running wild in the mid 80's. I remember thinking if I said my prayers, drank my milk and took my steroids that I too could grow up to be WWF champion.

    That said tho I always cheered for Brutus Beefcake back in the day. Can't for the hell of me think why, he looked like a loon and couldn't wrestle for shít.

    I have two of the Hulk Hogan cartoons on video. I remember going mental when my parents were watching Survivor Series 1991 with me and my brothers, they pissed themselves laughing when Undertaker tombstoned Hulk on the chair. :D

    I remember watching Wrestlemania VI and being torn between cheering for the Hulkster or The Ultimate Warrior.

    I ended up cheering the Warrior.

    Christ, the Warrior's promos were just bizarre.

    Early Macho Man gave him a good run for his money. (of course the amount of charlie he was snorting probably had something to do with it).

    Lol summed up best by one of the comments

    Eighties television. Here' a schizophrenic with enormous muscles and a funny hat. Enjoy! And we did.

    This promo popped into my head just now.

    I watched an episode of RAW recently (and my jaw dropped at how godawful it was). I concluded that I only ever used to like wrestling back when I was a kid because I didn't know any better.

    However the more I think of it I guess I might still like wrestling if they did it like back in the late 80s . They really had personality and good gimmicks back then. Todays guys are like the kind of actors you see in porno movies : Clunk in from stage left, try to remember line, recite line like a robot, fall off a ladder into a trashcan. Rubbish.
