I hate Hulk Hogan...let me rephrase, I USED to hate Hulk Hogan, now I hate Terry Bollea. I hate how he claims to be the person who made wrestling. He was shit. Shit in the ring, shit on the mic, he had some charisma which VINCE McMAHON MADE into Hulk Hogan.
I started watching wrestling in 1983, Ric Flair was the reason I kept watching wrestling, though I don't know what exactly the first match I ever saw was. I think I remember seeing a match that involved someone who's ring attire looked a lot like British Bulldog's in WCW...but as to who either of the wrestlers were, I have no idea.
For the recrod I don't recall ever liking Hulk Hogan. As a kid and teen I hated Hogan because I thought he was too one sided. He had nothing to interested me. No troubled past, no nothing...just a always do good guy. Same reason I never got into a lot of comic book heros growing up...Superman (at least back in the 80's and what-not...was just too one sided. I loved Savage and Warrior because I thought they could take Hogan's place, but saddly, no one know how to polotik it up backstage better then Hogan and it always came back around to him being number one (and being a fan of the time, I can tell you he did NOT always have the biggest cheers). The closest I ever came to liking Hogan was around the time of the nWo, but by then I had become quite a bit smarter about the business, and knew what type of a dick he was backstage, so it kind of killed it...though at least for the first time he became interesting to watch.
