Truly a wonderful by gone era. Back when friends met in person & their own hangout spot, nowadays kids don’t leave their bedrooms & only communicate over a video game.

Social media has ruined so much in America, it has made people so lazy and people have lost their interest in so many of the things people did before cell phones,
My dad and I met him around 2005 in Tampa at hulk's daughters concert. My dad and I were there for Charlie Daniels. We got to meet hulk, great dude, my dad towered over him. I always looked at my dad as hulk Hogan. Rip Dad I love you
Hogan's fame as a wrestler at the time was quite pure. No social media, and there has been no sustained huge success for him in Hollywood. I was then in a remote village in the desert of the Arabian Peninsula. The village elders were gathering around the television. And they cheer Hulk Hogan like crazy. No internet. No live broadcast. But stardom created by freestyle wrestling and the charisma of Hulk Hogan. And when they thought that his time had passed. Hogan is back as Hollywood Hulk Hogan and has changed the history of wrestling.. again. And when they tried to cover his glory through young wrestlers. HOGAN back again to WWE and let the world see how big the rock and austin fans are in the wrestling world compared to Hogan. he has completely crushed their presence in the halls. as happened in the scenario of his rivalry with The Rock. Which was supposed to be an insult to Hogan (as in the shows before WrestleMania 18): "You're gone, Hogan, and I'm your replacement for stardom". And when it's time for the WM. The world saw who was truly immortal. This mixture of the '80s and '90s, Hulk Hogan, the rise of the wrestling world, and its accompanying stories will never be repeated. Everything that happened after that to Hogan will not erase this history that is as clear as the sun in the middle of the day.
@@dantegood2195 On the contrary, I love social media, and I consider the Internet one of the greatest aesthetics of this time, and like you, I am surprised by those who attack it. But I mean that the social media shortened the path to fame, before that it was not that easy.
@@dantegood2195 I wouldnt regard YT comments section as social media. Unless you have a really broad view of 'social media'. If so, youd have to include 90's bulletin boards & chat rooms. And almost nobody really includes that.
@@mrhand.j3bs Its strange, though. Social media helps people to achieve fame...but also LIMITS it. It helps to create, and sustain, so many more celebrities nowadays compared to yesteryear. But, because there's so many, not everyone can keep up lol. Bad Bunny is a great example. World famous rapper, sure, but when he wrestled in WWE most fans didnt know him. You practically gotta be Kim Kardashian-level celebrity for everyone to know who you are. Otherwise only your niche knows you (i.e. rap fans and Bad Bunny). Not saying social media made him famous, though. Perhaps a better example is some huge 'influencer', who most dont know about outside their niche.
Wow, what awesome footage- thanks for sharing! Look at all those people waiting outside! And what's with all those limousines? Hulkamania was running wild!!!
For those who don't know, hulk Hogan was in the category of Michael Jackson or Mike Tyson or Wayne Gretzky Michael Jordan. He was the absolute man at the time and still is
Say what you wanna say about em. When he pulled up in the limo with the theme music playing...i felt that. Also shoutouts to Iron Messiah, dude seemed crazy humble on the mic
He allready knew he's going to pass the title to Warrior & that he's gonna leave after Mania - so he had to lie in his fans eyes when he said he'll win & not going to retire...
He already lost the title to the ultimate warrior by this point...Wrestlemania 6 took place on April 1st 1990 and this was July 1990,and he seems more like he was ready to be done with this day than unhappy.....he was just returning to wrestling after 2.5 months off,so he was probably more like "Oh God here we go with this insanity again"
According to Hulk Hogan over a two week span he received over 16,000 letters a day. How many mailmen did that take to facilitate? A Hulkster injury is quite the strain on the US postal system.
This was uploaded 6 yrs ago and I'm just seeing it now!? With all the old WWF videos I peruse on UA-cam!? Nice algorithm... I was 10 years old here and the biggest Hulkamanic. I would've lost my shit if I met Hulk. I wonder what the Iron Messiah is up to these days?
agree he had to be top 10 most famous people in the world.....but from 97-01...no 1 in wrestling history sold more merch or turned the landscape of wrestling like stone cold....and I was a rock guy lol
Yep definitely, I met him and got his autograph in 2002, was in awe, couldn't believe the guy I idolized as a kid, was right in front of me, looking at me, lol
Can we get Iron Messiah for president? Sounds like an upstanding dude. Hugs not drugs, nice to be important but more important to be nice? Got my vote!
This video is pure fucking gold for every single reason. I'm going to put my D.A.R.E. t-shirt on, take a few bumps, call that dude in the ninja turtle outfit, have dinner at Pizza Hut, take a couple more bumps, put my head through a wall, and drive my 1989 Chrysler LeBaron into a KB Toys while taking a few more bumps. I LOVE BEING A TURTLE. HULKAMANIA RULES!!!!!!!
Iron messiah starts the show doesn’t get better lol! Worlds gym was a Mecca in our area for world class bodybuilding and wrestling and now all we have is planet fitness and manbuns
That time people were wondering if Hulk Hogan would retire or not. They didn't want him to, so he didn't. All these years later in 2022, the Hulkster still hasn't retired. He just became immortalized. 😝
Kayfabe was strong back then. People really did probably wonder if he was retiring. If the internet & social media was strong back then? No way. Maybe a couple years later, sure, when he became more active in Hollywood. But not in 1990. Everyone would have said "it's a work, brother".
No matter where he goes, Hulk Hogan will always draw a crowd. I'll take him over Dwayne (the sock) Johnson any day. Especially nowadays. When Hogan does great things for people, you never hear about it. When Dwayne Johnson does something, he has a film crew film the whole thing and then release's it to public so he can show everyone what he did. Anyway this truly is the best unknown Hulkster footage I've ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing.👍👍
That’s cuz hogan doesn’t do anything good fir anybody he just shows up at his beach store every now and then fur a hundred people maybe and signs the merch that they buy in his store for $50 a signature and yes he films it there’s plenty of videos of hogan at his beach store
In his peak he was 6'7. I read he beame 3 inches shorter in the reason of wrestling, doing leg drops through all years of his career and 10 back surgeries
@@elcomberro123 never 6'7, he was 6'5 and now 6'3. He also said he had the largest arms in the world at one point in the 80s. Also, he was invited to UFC 1 but they decided not to have him fight cuz he might really hurt someone!
@@soitsanightmare He was 6'5 IRL? That doesn't work for him brotherrr! But hey, I get it. Most wrestlers were tall back then compared to today. So, if Hulk wanted to be seen as a 'big guy', he had to be 6'7. Not 6'5.
me and my buddy spent a whole night talking about this lol we all agreed upon 6'5" we all figured he was close to his build weight of 303 pounds back in his prime I mean if He was 6'5" 285 pounds that's still a hugh man
LOL the company man. But its funny, I dont think fans were still calling it 'NWA' by 1990. As they officially changed their name to 'WCW'. But I guess its a little like WWE fans still calling WWE 'The Fed'.
It's crazy to think that this is before the age of the internet so they probably got a lot of mileage out of this appearance, going from City to city, town to town, making the same announcement over and over again..
Even just like 5 years later it'd have been difficult, given that a lot of fans were already online. And certainly by the end of the decade. But in 1990? Nobody but dirt sheet readers knew anything!
@@erikstorm8935 right... So they did the SAME SHOW night after night... And I bet there is video of this same "announcement" from some other podunk town days later...
Hulk has strong New England roots. I believe his parents were from NH. I remember going to the Old Garden & seeing Hulk live for the first time. Was the highlight of my then 7 year old life.
Wow great story, I met him in May 2002, at the then World's Gym, grand opening in Tewksbury, it was crazy, the line, I must have been waiting for like 5 or 6 hours, almost gave up, but I didnt. it was a freezing cold rain and sleet, horrible weather day, the worst, will never forget that.
Before people had cell phones, only true celebrities like Iron Messiah existed. And I guess this other dude in the red and yellow bandana whatever his name js
