I saw him start as a rookie, and like he says, "If you like it or don't like it, learn to love it, because it's the best thing going today"

How true

Greatest tag team? Road Warriors, no need to explain

I have to give Vince credit for making incredible DVD sets about both even though their time working for him is not what they are most known for.

Greatest at what???

The whole ball of wax. Mic skills, building and maintaining heat, working GRUELING matches with the best in the business for three decades...and counting.

Make no mistake, it went beyond the figure four. He worked absolutely BRUTAL, TIME CONSUMING matches with the likes of Harley Race, Wahoo McDaniel, Ricky Steamboat, Magnum TA, Nikita Koloff.....yadda yadda...extensive tours of Japan. How's that for a mixed bag of ring styles?

It gets tricky, no doubt....greatest this, greatest that....

I actually consider Jack Brisco to be the greatest "professional-style" mat technician of all time. Buy a few throwback videos....he was toying with folks. He has gone on record as citing matches with Flair as some of his most memorable.

IMO, that right there speaks VOLUMES. That's what makes the wrestling world go round: IMO's.

Without IMO's, there's no heat.

Without heat, there's no feuds.

Without feuds, there's no barbwire ring rope matches!!!!!

If you want a funny book that goes behind the scenes I really recommend you get Pipers book. The stories & his delivery of them are laugh out loud funny. I also recommend Heenan's first book (while not a great historical behind the scenes book, it is also laugh out loud funny).
As far as the other books mentioned, Dynamite Kid's came across as too bitter for my taste & there were many inaccuracies in the book. He actually comes off as such an asshole you feel he deserves his current fate.
I didn't like the AA book because he tries to keep character & it floats between kayfabe & real which makes it really annoying.

Good post....
Pipers book is good, I have it, although some of his stories are hard to swallow, like the one after Wrestlemania 1 or 2 where Hogan and Mr.T and Vince left in the Limo and Piper was left wandering in the underground parking lot without a ride home, that just seems to out there to be true, who knows though....
Your right, Tom did come across as an asshole, but thats what made the book so good IMO, the honesty....The stories of the shit that went down between the Rogues Bros was great....
AA's book I havent seen yet, wrestling books can be hard to find around here....
Bobby Heenans books are great, although the first one is way better....
Even back when Bobby was managing I was cheering for his guys, I have always been a bigger fan of the heels, I remember I was PISSED when Randy Savage lost the belt to Hogan at W5, I actually went to see that at a closed circuit arena way before PPV's, I seemed to be the only one cheering for Macho Man, lol....

Hulk Hogan might not be around the WWE ring very often. But, after just one six-man tag, he already sees WWE Champion John Cena as a star.

"After the match with Cena, I told him "Brother, now that I've been in the ring with you. Now that I've seen how good you are. Now I want to wrestle you, so get ready." He was totally psyched, he told me it was like a dream come true, but I want to see what he's made of," Hulk Hogan told IGN, before calling Cena someone who can "carry the football for 15-20 years."
----------------------------
OK, another example of Hogan being clueless, this guy talks to everyone who will listen that wrestling is real, get a grip Terry.....

Hulk Hogan recently went on a rant in FHM in regards to his daughter's dating life and here's what he had to say:

"I run a tight ship here, and if you want to date my daughter, Brooke, you must obey the Hulk Hogan Demandments. They're not commandments - they're demandments. Obey them, and you might pass the test.

First off, you have to be clean-cut. If you're a jabroni-you know, tattoos, piercings, purple hair and all that crap-it's not happening. Not in this lifetime.

You must be respectful. When you come over to my house, I don't expect a present, but I do expect you to call me Mr. Hogan and that you bring your best behavior, values, and manners. If you come over, and for some reason I'm not around, stay out of my office and my gym. I don't want my stuff messed with.

Before you take my daughter anywhere, you need to spend some quality time at our house with the family so we can get to know you. That's also when I'll be checking to make sure your pupils aren't dilated and that your eyes aren't jitterbugging all over the place-drugs and alcohol are a definite no-no.

I prefer that you're not a wrestler. If you're meek and mild, I can put the fear of God into you more easily.

You have to be modest. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's cockiness! We had that Aaron Carter kid come by once wanting to date my daughter. He lasted about an hour in my house before I kicked him out. Brooke somehow talked me into inviting him over, and once he was here, he started putting his feet up on the furniture and going into the refrigerator without asking. Finally, I told him to hit the highway.

If I do finally allow you to take Brooke out, I demand that she's returned home on time and that she call to check in every half-hour. I have GPS installed in her car, so I know where you're going. I can also remotely shut her car engine down if I think something funny is going on.

Keep your hands to yourself-and that's not even a demandment, that's standard procedure if you want to live.

I've also taught Brooke how to defend herself. She's been boxing for three years now and can throw one hell of a right cross. I've taught her some submission holds if somebody puts their hand in the wrong place and basic self-defense stuff like the heel stomp, the crotch shot and the thumb-in-the-eye technique. But no one has been stupid enough to disrespect Brooke like that. It would be trouble if they did: I'm not afraid of a good lawsuit."

Is this guy for real?

This guy lives so far from the real word its unreal.....

[monkeythe]

The GPS idea is a really good.

he wasn't on, but in a sappy promo, an out of character Shawn Michaels got down on his knees and "begged" Hulk Hogan for help against Daivari and Hassan at the PPV Backlash. Im all for Hogan coming back, and in fact had talked about it well before Wrestlemania, how Hulk Hogan could come back and help "put over" mid card and lower card wrestlers. (including Hassan) I think there is a lot of usage and money left to be made from Hogan, as is evident from his standing ovations and "one more match" chants. So everything points out to Hogan returning to team with Michaels in a PPV match against a couple of Arab Americans- but personally I would love to see this turn out to be a really good wrestling swerve. something fans would not expect. Shawn turning on Hogan out of jealousy. Perhaps a screwed up dq or wrong pinfall could cause Michaels to "sweet chin music" Hogan in a really good heel turn. This of course could set up a nice SummerSlam classic never before type match with Hulk Hogan vs Shawn Michaels.
This would of course mean at some point during this, Kurt Angle on Smackdown, would turn face- in order to continue his feud effectively with Michaels, when either Michaels or Angle gets traded to the other brand- during the draft lottery this year.
But like I said earlier, this storyline is too exciting and compelling and we know that the WWE doesn't do shit exciting anymore- so scratch eveything I said after the words "but personally I would love to see this turn out to be a really good wrestling swerve" and put in the generic WWE storyline instead of Hulkster getting the legdrop of doom on Hassan and saving the day. Blech!

I expect my credit or royalty check in the mail within 5 business days Vince.

no doubt we'll see Hogan vs Austin at WME 22, but who is the marquee match up for Batista at WME 22? I'll throw Brock Lesnars name in there to take him on. One on One. In an interview, brock stated he wanted back in, and hopes Vince gives him another chance. There is good money to be made from a Batista vs Brock match.
Piper vs Flair or Sting vs HHH. c'mon Vince, make this shit happen. Steamboat vs Savage pt. II. Bret Hart beats the shit out of Vince and John Cena vs Chris Jericho with special ref Eminem. :D Britney Spears and Brooke Hogan dyke out for a bit in a topless, thong, chocolate pudding, paddle on a pole, spanking, lingerie pillow fight.
