wraslin' memories




So, I got addicted to Hogan Knows Best tonight. They had a mini-marathon on. It was interesting to see him as a regular, overprotective dad of a 16 year old girl and a 14 year old boy. then to watch him get the call from Vince McMahon about being inducted into the Hall of Fame was pretty cool. He went to the ceremony and reunited with former wrestlers like the Iron Shiek, Jimmy Hart, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Sgt Slaughter and others. Then to watch him get in the wring with all his yellow and red garb on...it was pretty cool, and very reminiscent. I grew up watching those guys wrestle. My friend Dena used to LOVE wrestling (back when it was the WWF) and my brother (who I watched this stuff with) still watches it. He's had his daughters watching it with him since day one. I don't watch it anymore. It's not the same with....well, whoever is wrestling now, as it was when Andre the Giant and the Junkyard Dog were in the ring.
