Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan 🕊️💐

To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included.
In 1984, I gave you your “HULKSTER” headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. You were wrestling “Mr Wonderful”, Paul Orndorff that night in the main event. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren’t for me, you’d have no way of getting that exact one made again. You promised me that you would get more made and give me a Hulkster headband of my own as a thank you gift.

A month later in Madison Square Garden, you did just that. You kept your word, with a handshake and a “thanks kid”.
And that meant the world to that little 12 year old boy.

Just 17 years later, and still a kid at the age of 29 years old — I’m standing in the middle of the ring and facing you - one of my wrestling heroes in the main event of WRESTLEMANIA.

The match was to decide who would go down in history, as The Greatest of All Time.

When you kick out of my Rock Bottom finisher - just listen and FEEL that crowd go ELECTRIC…
all for you. I’ve never felt anything like that in my entire wrestling career. It takes two to tango, but that historic crowd reaction was all for you.

You may have “passed the torch” to me that night, but you, my friend….

… you “drew the house” meaning you sold out every arena and stadium across the country in your prime as Hulk Hogan, on your way of becoming the greatest of all time.

From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever…

Thank you for the house, brother…

Thank you, for the house.

RIP Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan 🕊️

A thread 🧵

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

The evolution of tennis through the wear and tear of the grass in the Wimbledon finals

In any image of the finals of the 70s, 80s and 2000s you can see how the grass is very worn both in the baseline and in the volley area. And it is not just that now the gardeners have better technologies for the care of the grass that avoid wear, there is also an explanation of the evolution of tennis at a technical level

Previously on grass the main strategy of tennis players was the serve and volley. Back then, the Wimbledon grass in the volley area barely made it to the final. In recent years the service boxes are pristine on the last day of the tournament and it is the baseline area that is more sand than grass

The explanation is simple: serve and volley are no longer used as before. Wooden rackets were more suitable for this style of play, they were heavier and it was impossible to finish the point from the back of the court, so they tried to win at the net

Wooden rackets stopped being used at the end of the 80s and in the 90s, with the revolution of carbon fiber, graphite and other material rackets, the type of game changed. Since then, the game from the back of the court has become the norm on the circuit. With the evolution of materials and physical preparation, today's tennis players follow a common pattern: they are tall, hit hard from both sides, serve very hard and finish points at the back of the court.
