People forget Vince had a fucking love affair with Kerry, he wanted him for years.

do you truly believe that Hogan, and no one else could’ve done it?

It’s possible but again not my point really. My point was that Hogan did do it.

Piper is probably realistic considering he actually got acting gigs.

well, i mean, that specifically was never in contention either. its a literal fact that happened lol

Wouldn't have been Kerry Von Eric. Loved the dude but he had too many demons

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

It's jus a shame that Kerry when he did come in had lost a foot, felt ashamed of it, and his career spiraled very quickly. Kerry in 1985-1986 though

and our point is it didn’t have to be Hogan. So no one’s disagreeing. Damn semantics

I really want Bob Seger at Wrestlemania singing Hollywood Nights but as LA Knight

Felt like someone people don’t really realize that magnitude of what happened is my only point.

And I don’t think any of the guys Grim mentioned would of achieved the success of Hulkamania for different reasons and I like them all more then I liked Hogan

It's cool how many varying degrees of fandom we have at this place.

 

[CakeWalker]

i dont even know what fandom means

 

[CakeWalker]

sounds like nerd shit

 

[Comrade Khan]

fair enough. I think ''the machine'' was what that got over more than the fact it was hogan. I think brilliant marketing was just as much part of his success than him being who he is. Im not going to take away the work he did in the ring or anything, I just, personally, think it was more or a right place right time etc than him being '' special'' . again tho, thats also due to me never being able to ever connect with any of his work or characters
