    My sister worked at a hotel check in desk during the 80's in KC when Hogan and some other wrestlers came to check in. She was so star struck she kept nervously goofing up to which Hogan soothingly told her everything was alright and engaged in small talk to calm her down. He said 'Thank You' with a smile and said she did fine.

      @Donnell Okafor Amen brother. We've had our very soul ripped out by so called 'woke' leftists. My whole family watched the WWF until they went to cable-and out in the country we couldn't get it. (We were too poor for cable anyway.) I idolized Mr. T and loved the 'The A-Team'. It was great seeing a big, tough guy with a soft spot for kids on the show and he was a good role model also.

      When you say GOAT, for wrestling, it's a lot more complicated than something like Football, Tennis or Basketball.
      Hogan is on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling but i wouldn't call him the GOAT, it all comes down to what you consider to be a good wrestler, if we're talking the one to draw the biggest box office numbers and PPV revenue.
      That would be Stone Cold in modern times and Andre the Giant in the old days. Hogan was actually a bigger draw in Japan in terms of the spectacle he would put on, in the US it was mainly a big marketing thing.
      If we're talking about the best technical wrestler with in ring abilities, as far as professional wrestling is concerned, the gimmick too, is a lot more subjective, but i would probably have to go for either Undertaker, Bret Hart or HBK.
      But if we're going to talk about legitimate tough badass, probably Brock Lesner, Ken Shamrock or Dan Severn.

    Cena has that overreaching star power but even at his peak he wasn’t as over as some of the 80’s and 90’s guys.

      I get the point you’re making and I agree with it overall that nobody really had as much mainstream popularity and awareness as Hogan which was eventually blown out of the water with how gangbusters the rocks success in Hollywood and in his outside business ventures but I do think people should always keep in mind to an extent that for a Stone Cold or Taker it’s not a totally equal comparison as it applies with outside popularity because neither bad or accepted the same level of outside opportunities as those available to the rock at the start of his entry into Hollywood.
      When the Rock began his acting career it helped matters when his first leading offer was a project that actually had a chance to do well compared to Hogan, Austin or Cena who had WWE Studios tiny budget films as their entry into acting and severely hinder the level of success financially and the perception of how you perform on the film and the chances that you will have a chance to pivot into main stream roles that can see actual success to elevate your status in Hollywood like we’ve seen from the rock. Hogan never had any decent roles during his acting career with pretty much every movie he was in being low budget kids movies with cheesy storylines and had low potential to really achieve anything. Stone Cold has had a few supporting cast roles in some strong projects like longesr yard, expendables and grown ups 2. But of the 13 movies he did his first lead role was a WWE Studios movie and 8 of the movies he’s been in were direct to video movies so the chances of seeing any major growth in the industry was low. He has had some pretty successful years hosting reality competition shows though so it hasn’t all been a loss. But those shows are not going to lead to the mainstream impact of major films.
      In terms of Taker who knows what he could have grown to because he didn’t take outside projects for such a long time to protect his character as undertaker so his popularity being contained in wrestling was kinda self imposed to an extent since he limited anything he was involved in to ensure he didn’t do harm to his wrestling persona. Cena fell to the same fate in outside projects too at the start but thankfully he has now been able to get better projects thanks to the rock opening that door for it to be available now. And he’s been doing pretty well. But in the end nobody will hit the level the rock has and that isn’t an insult really. Pretty hard to hit the level where you become the highest paid actor in Hollywood like the rock rose to. But thankfully for future popular wrestlers the success of the rock demonstrated that it’s possible for future people to make the pivot over and have a genuine chance to hit it big when in the past you weren’t going to see much options for leading roles outside of the WWE studios stuff so maybe there will be another wrestler who hits major highs like the rock has been able to do.

    I just came across your channel via this video. As much as I know about this sport I still class it as a sport and with you to narrate it, it becomes like it was the first time I watched wrestling as a kid.
    I commend you for your service on being a fan. I also enjoy the fact I can watch your video and not say at the end "well it's fake so who gives a shit" (the cuts and some hits are legit hardcore and the emotions of the wrestlers are real but also apart of fabrication)
    I legit enjoyed it and am going to watch more of your videos. Just another sub to the bank.

    The Rey Mysterio cartoon looks great though. Rey is a wonderful wrestler who mixes exciting high flying with technical wrestling and incredible charisma so he feels tailor made for a show.
    It's gonna be on Cartoon Network soon and from what I've seen it's really fun. It's made in Mexico (which fits since Rey Mysterio is an iconic Mexican wrestling legend, maybe even on the level of El Santo and The Blue Demon).
    It looks like a fun watch that kids and older wrestling fans can watch if they're into fun action scenes of Rey Mysterio doing cool stuff. I've always loved Rey and he's always been in my top 15 fave wrestlers so seeing him get his own show is great. I still love his matches with Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, CM Punk and Psicosis. Some of the best wrestling you'll ever find.

    His peak to me was until '88. When he started teaming/feuding with Randy, he always had to save Randy. Then Randy turns on him, and he still wins the match vs. two giants? That's where his ego and/or booking was getting destructive. How could we ever doubt he was going to beat Randy?
