It's so cool watching early WWF Hulkamania

[Ol Dirty Dastard]

When he first came back and turned face. First of all, I don't give a fuck about what anyone says, the man could fucking work like a motherfucker. Maybe not a technical genius, but he was as rough and tumble as a Stan Hansen and always brought it, and for a man his size could move quickly.

Also awesome was that eye of the tiger was his original theme which I'm sure many of you know but I did not, so fucking cool to see him come out to that. I just figured he had no music, but I guess it was his music in AWA and it carried over.

I think what was so amazing about him all the way up until even the Macho Man feud (because I say that's probably when he peaked as a performer up until his run in the nWo) is that he was LEGITIMATELY a super hero. He was a full on comic book super hero, and some how and some way it was so fucking believable even watching it now. Just perfect timing, well done feuds, great facials. When he wrestled a match, he always made it a titanic struggle and he was great with subtleties, his psycology was ALWAYS there... he made the little things matter. I honestly think he is the only guy that embodied being a full on cartoon/comic book character. He legit was "immortal" in his own way.

And there's all these little things I find cool, like how he didn't always wear the red and yellow, but often had blue trunks. I always though it was the #redandyellow. I also love seeing "The Incredible Hulk Hogan" as a heel vs. Andre and also as a mega face in AWA. Just cool as fucking shit.

The moral of the story is the access we have to all this oldschool wrestling is fucking awesome because it really helps you appreciate it all. I'm not even a Hogan mark, but holy shit was he cool as cool in his prime, and I would venture to say damned near untouchable.
