the 1980's was on Fire

Thanks Hulk & Andre & Mean Gene for the Memories

Andre didn't need music, he just came in and was captivating enough to draw all the attention. What a legend.

There will never be an entrance like Hulk Hogan’s ever again. The buildings literally erupted when he came out in the “Hulkamania” Days.

These people were on a different pedestal altogether.

They were not just wrestlers, they were superheroes and this is what made it all magical :)

The most watched American wrestling match ever. Something like 30 million televisions were tuned in to watch it live

I was 11 years old, I remember this match vividly. My whole family sat together and watched, no phones, no tablets, no distractions. Miss those days!!! 😢R.I.P. Hulkster, Andre, Mean Gene, and Virgil.

Howard Finkel's iconic "AND NEW......" still gives me chills.

Love how the Hogan promo is with the older belt and he comes out with the winged eagle

@gregorystuart146 1 year ago

If you didn't grow up in this era, you will never understand it. I'm glad I did!

@Darth_Hitman_ 1 year ago

As an 80's kid, what a moment. Hogan got me into wrestling in 1985 and seeing his reign end that night was the Bruno moment for our generation.

37 years ago tonight ! I remember watching this show live on National Television like it was 5 minutes ago. How time flies.
