This Hulk Hogan obit from Meltzer has lots of interesting tidbits in it, Hogan was already getting NWA title shots in 1979, only his second year in The Business, and he actually won his very first one by beating Harley Race by DQ in Dothan, Alabama on June 22, 1979


They actually changed the rules for NWA title matches in St Louis because Hogan refused to be pinned in the 1st fall of a 2 outta 3 falls title match in 1981, so they switched to a single fall title match even though 2 outta 3 falls matches were the tradition going back to the 50's


The story about him and Terry Funk secretly wrestling against each other in South Africa, because they were working for different Japanese promotions, and then Hogan double crossing Terry by telling all the Japanese reporters about the match and Terry going to fight Hogan in a hotel is great, classic Hogan, never heard that before or if i did I forgot

Lapsed Fan broke that story down on their Terry Funk tribute. It's one of the most wrestling stories I have ever heard. I loved it
 
Oh dang, they fired Mack Brown huh, probably cause of that frickin NC State loss that I watched the other day on the ACC Network

I appreciate how all these networks start playing the best games from last season in the weeks and months leading up to the new one, most times ole Pete has no idea who won or lost so its like I'm watching it live in the middle of the season, I dig that

I love watching the condensed games.



Entire game in 20 minutes? Hell yeah.
 
Meltzer also says that Brutus Beefcake was gonna write an autobiography and Hogan threatened to sue him because of what he thought Beefer might say in the book

Thats interesting because of the Hogan-Savage-jet ski black eye story, the fact that Beefcake always stuck to the jet ski story, even after him and Hogan fell out, was what made me think it could be true

But maybe Beefcake never broke kayfabe because he didnt want to deal with Hogan's high priced lawyers, gonna be interesting to see if Beefcake now comes clean about it in the future
 


Fucking high schoolers getting booked to win things now. It's a new world.
 
Tried to play Elden Ring for the first time in like two years, half an hour in and I legit fell asleep holding a controller.

Boring ass game.
 


So a pro wrestling company working the fans is bad?

The distrust should be for these bozos covering this shit not doing their fucking jobs and actually seeing if a rumour they heard is actually true or not.
 
I listen to this song every workout. Sometimes multiple times!
THANK YOU, MR PETE!

I had some Shasta cola for the first time in like 10 years the other day. It was good! In case anyone was wondering about the happenings in Ol Rex's life.
