Maybe I'm just somewhat young and stupid but can somebody explain to me how Linda got to keep all of Hulk's poo poo including his car and house after they divorced? Wasn't all of that because of Hulk or am I missing something that Linda does with her life?

Pinstripe Hourglass posted:Multi-Level Marketing. It's Mary Kay party poo poo, you agree to buy a hugely expensive "starter pack" of some average or slightly above average product, then try to sell it to your friends (at exorbitant prices) to make your money back. poo poo takes over people's lives but they keep buying more and more packs because the MLM company operates like a self-help/motivational speech tour and convinces people it's their one shot to be rich. And also because the constant attempts to sell overpriced stuff to their friends drives off all the person's friends not associated with the product. God, the latest craze of this kind of poo poo is these bullshit It Works weight loss wraps. Like a dozen of my friends won't shut up about them on Facebook.

Would Hogan tease a heel turn on the regular in WCW prior to nWo? I was watching World War 3 on the network from 95 and he's in all black and then switches his gear to the red and yellow.

Yeah, somewhere in the Dungeon of Doom feud he goes "NOW I'M UNLEASHING THE DARK SIDE OF HULKAMANIA BROTHER" or somesuch. And then he stopped.

It wasn't a heel turn or anything, though. He was still Hulk Hogan, but wearing black instead of red & yellow. It would be like if Cena said he would show Bray Wyatt his dark side and just, wrestled exactly how he always did, but this time he wore black jorts.

On the other hand, the hilarity of his promos went up by a few notches once he got into that Dungeon of Doom feud and became Darkside Hogan. In the span of a year we got "the rare white bengal tiger", "it's not hot!", Big Show as Andre's son (complete with monster truck sumo and falling off buildings), and "the internet's got the scoops".

Disgusting Coward posted:Also, who was the dude who would show up doing squash matches sometimes on early-to-mid 90s WWF? Really buff Asian dude with a coolie hat and writing all over him who would do massively stiff kicks and a ton of handstands and stuff. I remember being terrified of him as a child. To add on to GWH's answer, he wrestles primarily in Japan as Jinsei Shinzaki, but also did a few matches under that name in ECW and Chikara. He's had a really good career. Ditch can hook you up with his best stuff, but this is a neat little rarity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2swfqkMm44Q

It's weird to me how Shinzaki started off with amazing momentum coming into the WWF, considering he was feuding with Bret Hart early on. Then all of a sudden he loses to Barry Horowitz and forms a horrible face tag team with him, eventually just disappearing. I was glad to see him work a match at ECW and see he was still performing solidly in Japan via Youtube years later.

ZDar Fan posted:Which episode of Raw has an audience member audibly yell "kill yourself" in the middle of a Beefcake promo? Episode 4, I believe. Somewhat related question. So, Hulk comes back to win the WWF Title at Wrestlemania 9, then his next title match is at King of the Ring, where he loses the belt back to Yokozuna. Then he leaves WWF for WCW. What is the point? I don't even know if he had a televised match between the two.

Jerusalem posted:Similarly I've always laughed when a guy loses and attacks the winner post-match, and after a certain amount of time the attacker's music starts playing. That, and an unexpected surprise return seems to take over the Titantron and PA system the second said return crosses the threshold from Gorilla position. Like the set is sentient and detects when someone important is nearby. Web Jew.0 posted:Cena beating Rey for the title same night he won it is way worse. He took the title from a beloved face who's way smaller than he is. Bret was incapacitated and Hogan beat a heel who's huge and Japanese. Also, Hogan already wrestled at WM9 whereas Cena was fresh. While not for the title nor at Wrestlemania, I'd also call it a self-serving dick move for Cena to book the ending of the Team Cena vs Nexus match to be him recovering from a concrete DDT and coming back to beat two Nexus members during a feud that was supposed to make them into a massive threat. This is further represented by Jericho and Edge both telling him it was a stupid idea for him to go over, and Cena immediately realizing after the match that it was indeed a stupid idea for him to go over. Even though they followed it up with Cena "joining" Nexus, it essentially killed them as a threat and Barrett was no longer taken seriously as a main event player.

Of all things, I really hate what that did to Justin Gabriel since they'd been booking him as a straight up killer prior to that, and ever since he's spent years on end barely being on TV.

The old Jakks Pacific Titantron set taught me how this works: each wrestler has a special chip in their foot that activates their music when they cross through the Gorilla position.
