Uncoached Moment: Hulk Hogan wins the Belt From Iron Sheik
I’m not even remotely kidding when I say I got goose bumps watching this video. I’m not sure if that makes me a total loser or just a guy from a generation who realizes how amazing Pro Wrestling was in the 80′s.
Granted I was 5 years old when this happened but I swear to God I can remember it like it was yesterday. Talk about an influential moment in the history of time.
Hulkamania shaped wrestling into what it is today: a complete commercial success that totally sucks compared to the days of Piper’s Pit.
