My god this rocked my little world when I was a kid. I was such a huge hulkamaniac when I was a kid after this happend I wrote to the address to wish get well to hulk hogan šš¤£ I was so excited for his return at summerslam. I went to the house show the night before summerslam to see hulk hogan vs dino bravo at the Niagara falls convention and civic center.
The letter writing campaign to capture addresses for marketing purposes was a brilliant business idea.
For those of you who are unaware of this, the entire purpose of the letter writing campaign to Hulk was to capture your address so they could send you future promotional material and get you to buy merchandise and other things.
1990 is my favourite year as WWF/WWE fan, i was only 10 years old, Hogan,Warrior.The Macho King, Big Boss Man,Jake the Snake,what a time it was to be a kid.
So I remember they ran a promotion where you could write to Hulk while he was injured and address it to some PO box entitled Get Well Hulk and Tugboat was giving out friendship bracelets and all that. A few weeks after I wrote(I was about 9 years old) my Mom called me downstairs and said "you got some mail from the Hulk" I was so excited. I opened it up and it was a postcard addressed to "Dear Hulkamaniac".. even at 9 years old I was disappointed š
What a time to be alive and a wrestling fan. I remember every bit of this. I was 7-8 years old when this happened. This was awesome. Big Bossman FTW! He would work you with that nightstick. šš
