Kids these days will never know when WWF didn’t sell itself as entertainment - it was ****ing real or at least so we thought. It would be the equivalent of the UFC coming out and saying their fights are scripted soap opera. So yeah we all gave a **** and Hulk Hogan was our Michael Jordan.
So weird how people identify with each era of rasslin. I always think the "downfall" of rasslin started with WWF. Long live NWA, AWA, Mid-South, WCW, etc!
The list of guys also includes his wife and kids right? And all the new era wrestlers. And all the older ones who he wouldn't sell for. And all the people that didn't like that whole "super racist" thing. And all the people who saw him act like a pedo billionaire was a good pick to lead a country... Ok so the list really isn't that short but you're right. His contemporaries did not hate him for being a racist.
