@TheLapsedFan As soon as fat tubby bitchard appeared I turned it off. I guess I'll have to endure it to fully experience the deep dive (if you know what I mean)
@TheLapsedFan Just finished listening. Pristine work as usual! Just wanted to add that the Stampede style powerslam Hogan used as a finisher in those matches was called the California Crash. I thought the announcers called it California Clutch but it's listed as Crash in his Japanese Wiki page
@TheLapsedFan at 2:37 good old Bill Mercer mentions the younger brother of Hulk Hogan, Dizzy Hogan, coming in soon... Looks like it was Ed Leslie, did it ever happen?? https://t.co/7fCR1Uyiur
@TheLapsedFan https://t.co/JBE9ocEdnO I found this on youtube, this channel has a bunch of Birmingham, Alabama TV archives and has uploaded as lately as 3 months ago. There is hope ๐
@Nathanhickey101@LyricWrestling His last reign was even longer, won the title in early 71 and held it until the 76 when they retired the championship, wikipedia has it at 1837 days
@swerveconfident Log off this shithole for a while, it's a bunch of bots and braindead clowns, true wrestling fans and real people respect your hard work and what you bring to the table
@Music_and_Moi@davemeltzerWON That was just an expression he used all the time, about multiple wrestlers, even used to say they HAVE excellence of execution. Like "irresistable strength meeting the immovable object", he didn't just use it on Hogan vs Andre.
@IANdrewDiceClay It was also because they wanted to trademark his name and he didn't let them and Steamboat wanting to get paid what he deserved from video tapes
