As I said about recently, the next WWE event is AAA's Triplemania which is their version of WrestleMania that started in 1993. This is going to be big and it's on tonight❕
This is from WWE:

Copa Bardahl Match
In the Copa Bardahl (Bardahl Cup), participants enter the match at timed intervals, similar to a Royal Rumble Match. Eliminations occur via pinfall. The last remaining competitor wins the Copa Bardahl trophy.
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😎
