This is going to be excellent. Now, once I have seen the event, I will post the highlights😀
First off, Hulk Hogan was one of My childhood heroes. Sadly, kids today will never know the magic that Hogan and wrestling in general in the 80s - the early 2000s unless their taught. How many guardians today are teaching their young ones important stuff of the past? I was a full blown Hulkamaniac much younger than 11. Wrestling was, is and forever will be a huge part of My life❕
WWE & NXT as well as TNA & AEW did this tribute to Hulk Hogan😰 NXT this past Tuesday was great on The CW with Mariah May aka Blake Monroe and others. It opened up with a big tribute to the "The Hulkster". I'm including the current Then, Now, Forever because you see Hulk Hogan first as well as Mack Man, Adre the Giant & The Ultimate Warrior :(
I want Tony Khan to say that he regrets what he said & did during 2020 about the great Hulk Hogan and his family, but I seriously doubt that he will ever😒 I hate that stupid politically correct and going with the current times and what TPTB wants😖
I'm glad that Tony Schiavone did this :)
Now, moving on to My own. Today is "The Immortal" Hulk Hogan's Birthday. For years and years I have memorized his B-Day. This is the first one that is now without him :(
Here's Hulk Hogan's B-Day special from 2014 on WWE Monday Night Raw, this was so darn cool with the legends especially with "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorf & "Rowdy" Roddy Piper :)
This will be an EXTREMLY SPECIAL SHOWCASE. This will be from 1990, 35 years ago this year :o First, before I start My item, I gotta post this video because this is how it all started, I was/am a Hulkamaniac at an early age and kids today have no idea how that is unless their taught by their guardians. So, do you remember when "The Hulkster" got squashed by the major heel lead by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, The Canadian Earthquake on The Brother Love Show? Well, here's the iconic scene from the great Summer fun year of 1990😀
Now, Hulk was hurt bad by that monster. The WWF was urging it's fans that if your a Hulkamaniac, to write to him and send him your good well wishes. Well, in My child mind, I loved Earthquake because of his size but also I was very sad of what he did to Hogan. It was at the last days at Our great old house that I got a wonderful, I mean an absolutely superb Postcard from the WWF & Hulk Hogan😲
This is still one of My most prized pieces of wrestling history. I've only seen one other person online that has one and they didn't seem all that grateful, some of the plebians today are so fickled😖Here's the back of the Postcard and what it says❕
Now, here's this promo of Hogan thanking his fans and that he's ready to take on The Earthquake at WWF SummerSlam 90❕I remember this like it was yesterday when I first saw this of WWF Programming😃
Look at that date from Van Nuys California...August 31, 90...that's 35 years ago this year😀
Look at the Trademark next to Hulk Hogan's name. Also, there's the 1990 Copyright of Titan Sports. Also, there's what I was talking about, about Hulk Hogan's name and MARVEL :o As I've always said, look at those copyrights on your collectables regardless of what they are, the "supposed experts" never tell you to do so. I have been doing this since I was a youngster and I hope that if anybody is reading this, heeds My advice because they will be very glad that they did :)
For a special size comparison, here's My special WWF Hulk Hogan Postcard and My very first WWF Hasbro Wrestling Action Figure which was none other than "The Hulkster" himself...look at that pure history right there :o
Now, I'm not done yet for Hogan's B-Day. It was very late 92 or early 93. I saw a totally awesome Birthday Cake over at Schnucks on Iron Street that I deeply expressed earlier on in My VHS Westling Collection. It was a B-Day Cake of Hulk Hogan who left the WWF right after WrestleMania 8 in 92😳 Now, I could only find one picture of it from My Family Album stuff and I'm very thankful for it. When I went to the WWF House Show 91 special that I took pictures with My TMNT Camera. Well, here's My pic that I took with it...look at that :o
Here's a close-up of Hogan and a TMNT icon on the right
This was My 12th B-Day and it was something else. As you see, it says I'm #1 Hulkamaniac😀
I still have the special Hulk Hogan & WWF Emblems that made the Cake what it was. Here's the awesome Hogan one that got My attention all those years ago😮
Here's the 1992 Copyright of Titan Sports & Wilton Enterprises❕
Here's the great WWF Logo Emblem.
Here's the 1992 Copyright of Titan Sports & Wilton Enterprises❕
Here they both are together...LOOK AT THAT :)
Now, that there is one of My most special showcases with such historical items however, I didn't want to post these under bad circumstances like this😕 Happy Birthday to Hulk Hogan, one of My heroes :) More to come soon, until the next one, I'll see you around😎
Here' a tiny bit of what was seen during the broadcast on WTBS Superstation during much better & simpler times.
This is one of My all-time fave moments in wrestling when Hulk Hogan entered the Dungeon of Dooms's Cave with The Master King Iaukea and "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan. Unexpectedly, he got choked out by The Giant then the DOD attacked him (The Zodiac Man, The Shark & "The Ugandan Giant" Kamala. The man they call Vader came to the rescue while "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, Macho Man Randy Savage & Sting was there to escort an injured Hogan out of the DOD's lair🎃
Now, right after that ended (it's still like that on Peacock), they aired the extremely brief but totally awesome Judge Dredd action figure two-pack commercial of the radical Mega Heroes series by Mattel. I'll never ever forget when My Grandparents got Me them at the old Target on Hampton & Chippewa around these superb fun times in 1995😀
That's all for now, more great stuff to come soon😎
Here's My all-time fave episode of The Crocodile Hunter. Its Africa's Deadliest Snakes. Today is July 30th. It aired in the year 2000, 25 years ago this year thus celebrating it 25th Anniversary❕ I think this is so funny and downright insane. Here's the entire episode including the cool intro in 5 short parts😀
There are very few people that you'll find on the web like Me that does what I do. Its July and that means Shark week. This will be a special one❕
Back in 2017, I went to My local Marcus Theater that I have that is in South County in Ronnies Plaza.
Fathom Events, who focuses on re-releasing old classic stuff, sports, operas and much more.
They released a special called Shark Week at the Movies on July 18, 2017 by The Discovery Channel. It focused on a previous episode of 2016 plus a new episode that hasn't aired yet for the 2017 season. This wasn't part of the $5 Tuesday deal, it was standard at $15 but it was worth it, When I saw this at that show on the big screen, I thought it was fantastic. There wasn't a big crowd to see this but there were a few people. Here's three short preview videos that was on-going for this one night only special event❕
Now, when it was over, they had free Shark Week Hats made out of foam on tables and I'm so glad I got this souvenir to remember My cool fun time back then in 2017😀
Here's a look of this nicely detailed Hat on My head.
Well, that will do. I have a lot more to come, until the next one, I'll see you around😎
OK, before I get to the highlights of the big WWE Weekend, now today is July 16th. Here's a special Anniversary of something that has it's 30th Anniversary on this very day. On WWF Wrestling Challenge, 7/16/95, Again, 30 years ago this year, a new wrestler debuted with no hype, not vignettes, no nothing...just BUPKIS. It was PHANTASIO❕ He was a babyface Magician Illusionist Mime from the USWA (real name is Harry Del Rios, he was also known as Spellbinder) when they had their partnership with the WWF. In this brief match, he faces Tony Devito (the future leader of The Baldies in ECW). Phantasio along with his acts predated a lot of stuff in future wrestling including modern wrestlers such as Serpentico's streamers❗ I would have loved to see a dual act with him & Doink the Clown or get involved with The Undertaker and Papa Shango🎃 Here's Phantasio's only televised match in the WWF during such fun & simpler times😄
Now, he didn't have a Theme however, here's this theme that was inspired made by The Demolition Icon. He made this Tron really, really well :)
As a big bonus, here's this.
And here's this interview with him just several short months ago with Hannibal❕
This WWE weekend which starts today is a huge one, it's a basically a triple header beginning with NXT Great American Bash, WWE Saturday Night's Main Event and WWE Women's Evolution❕
First off, WWE Wrestlemania 42 is right around the corner and even Money in the Bank 😳
Their getting ready for the WWE Survivor Series❕
This is brought to you by Dollar Shave Club...
Wing-Stop...
and C4!
WWE Evolve on Tubi has really been cool.
Now, here we go about the this great WWE Triple Header which doesn't come often but seems like it wants to be a big trend which is totally fine with Me👍
NXT has been red hot ever since their move to The CW last October😎
Mariah May has debuted in NXT as "The Glamour" Blake Monroe and she is looking really good! I really like how there doing vignettes like they did for newcomers & returnees back in the 90s.
NXT Great American Bash will be live at The Center Stage in Atlanta, Georgia.
The former WCW event has been anticipated for a while now
The CARD looks great😀
Oba Femi (c) vs. Yoshiki Inamura for the NXT Championship: This match is gonna rock!
Ethan Page (c) vs. Ricky Saints in a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the NXT North American Championship: Here we go again, what a feud this is!
Sol Ruca (c) vs. Izzi Dame for the NXT Women's North American Championship: I think Dame is gotta do it here but Ruca has become one hot champ.
Jasper Troy vs. Je'Von Evans: I'm really impressed with Jasper.
Blake Monroe & Jordynne Grace vs. Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne & Fallon Henley) (w/ Jazmyn Nyx). What a bout this is going to be and a prelude for Grace!
TNA CONTRACTING SIGNING with TNA Champion Trick Williams, Joe Hendry and Mike Santana!
All in all, this looks like a solid event!
Here's the Countdown Show!
WWE Saturday Night's Main Event will be live at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia on NBC and Peacock.
Since its return last year, the event has been really cool & nostalgic.
The CARD looks pretty good.
Gunther (c) vs. Goldberg for the World Heavyweight Championship. The event happens in Bill Goldberg's hometown of Atlanta, GA.
This happen on July 7th on WWE Monday Night Raw on Netflix, and it was great!
This is supposed to be Goldberg's final match, somehow, I don't think so.
Solo Sikoa (c) vs. Jimmy Uso for the WWE United States Championship. Wow, what a match this is going to be!
Drew McIntyre vs. Randy Orton: Still yet another between these two.
Seth Rollins vs. LA Knight: This is going to be fun.
Also from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia is WWE Evolution❕
Its an all-women WWE PLE👸
This has been anticipated for years now as it has been a long time since the first one😲
You can get your WWE Evolution Merchandise at the WWE Shop.
It's about time this event has returned❕
The CARD looks really stacked & stunning to say the least.
IYO SKY (c) vs. Rhea Ripley for the Women's World Championship: WOW, this going to be awesome!
Tiffany Stratton (c) vs. Trish Stratus for the WWE Women's Championship: Trish is back. I hope there is teenage boys and young men eyeballing her because society is so different now compared to when I was a teenager in the 90s in the Attitude Era when I first saw her before she was a wrestler!!!
Becky Lynch (c) vs. Bayley vs. Lyra Valkyria in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Women's Intercontinental Championship: Another hot match-up here.
The Judgment Day (Raquel Rodriguez & Roxanne Perez) (c) vs. Alexa Bliss & Charlotte Flair vs. Sol Ruca & ZARIA vs. The Kabuki Warriors (Asuka & Kairi Sane) in a Fatal Four Way Tag Team Match for the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship: Wow, this going to be superb!!!
Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Jordynne Grace for the NXT Women's Championship. Now this had a great build-up for weeks and is one of the finest and exciting stories in wrestling recently. First, it all began with this really good series of eliminator matches.
These are the four women that one going on to a Fatal Four-Way the next week!
When it was all done and dusted, Grace won it and like she said...she HAD TO!
I really hope that Jordynne wins after all of this.
Naomi vs. Jade Cargill in a No Holds Barred Match: This might steal the show!!!
Battle Royal for a future Championship Match. NXT is a major part of this year's Evolution, here's a great sample of it👸
I'm very thankful that I can watch all of this on Peacock. Once I have seen these WWE PLEs, I will post the highlights in time😀
