digitally versatile, BROTHER!
THE BEST dvd purchase of the week, IF NOT EVER.
Anyone who knows me well knows that i hate DVDs and would never ever bring one into my home. THIS, though, was an exception; I'd been waiting for a collection like this featuring all of Hogan's classic matches for years now to alongside those old battered VHS copies of Mr. Nanny and Santa With Muscles. I have such fond memories of the Hulkster's title match versus the Ultimate Anthology at wrestlemania VI, and fortunately, not only has that famous match clearly influenced this boxset's title, but is also included here to preserve digitally for future generations to enjoy every Christmas.
And now, a trip down memory lane --
Hulk Hogan endorses Cheerios
Part of a balanced breakfast, brother.
Hulk Hogan smack-talks some Gremlins
Man, Gremlins 2. I remember seeing that thing 3 or 4 times in theatres whatever summer it came out in. Midway through the movie, during a random conversation between two characters, the film sputters and rips as if there's been a projector malfunction. Two sillhouettes of Gremlins then appear on the blank white screen doing shadowpuppets as if in the projection booth; they then start playing random stock-footage clips, and then this little interlude played with the theatre manager getting the Hulkster to sort the problem out. The whole scene would've made no sense on video, so they replaced that segment with one appearing as if your VCR was messing up, and then John Wayne saves the day instead. The film's novelization did something different entirely, with just a 2-page interjection by the "Brain" Gremlin, claiming he'd captured the writer and had temporarily hijacked the book, apologizing in the process for the lack of Hulk Hogan in this novel version, as that scene only appears in the movie. What impressive cross-format self-referential mindblowingness for 1990!!!
Hulk Hogan's a REAL AMERICAN
The Hulkster starring in Rick Derringer's music video for "Real American". There are no words.
Hulk Hogan's own movie
No Holds Barred. Wow. Makes a good triple-bill alongside D.C. Cab and Secret Of The Ooze. Welcome to my sunday afternoons in 1991.
A POEM, by Hulk Hogan
I always loved that Hulk needed such a MASSIVE book for such a stupidly short poem. There can't even possibly be OTHER poems from his ouvre in that book, as the title's "A" clearly implies only one. What are we, STUPID?!?!?!?
Hulk Hogan emcee's POKEMON DAY
"THE tenth-anniversary-party OF THE DECADE!!!"
