When I was nipper my old man’s pal was working in Norway. He had satellite tv that showed “American” wrestling. He recorded tapes of the wrestling and sent them back to England for me to watch because he thought I’d like them ( he was right). This was around the time of Wrestlemania 3. I was immediately hooked and loved the Hulkster. Then in 1989 the WWF as it was known then had its first overseas event in London at the Docklands Arena. My dad, unbeknownst to me, bought tickets and surprised me. The main event was the Hulkster against Randy Savage. Obviously the Hulkster won and I was absolutely delighted. To say I’m gutted by this news, and on my birthday, is an understatement. I’m just pleased by
@Selassie I story above which shows what a great man he was. RIP Hulkster.
