People close to Hulk Hogan had told me that they weren't happy that his management team was "running him into the ground" promoting his beer brand over the last year. Here is a clip from Logan Paul's podcast last summer talking about the grind and lack of sleep.

This was the beginning of an all-time great wrestling angle between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage that aired in October of 1987. The story lasted over a year, culminating in a match at WrestleMania 5 in 1989. And because it didn't air live, they edited it beautifully.

I just discovered that there was a pro wrestler in Germany in the 1990s who impersonated Bret Hart. His name was Franz Schumann. Here is a clip from a match in September of 1994 in Germany featuring Schumann against a Doink impersonator called the Evil Clown.

I re-watched Rock’s promo. Look at that camera work when he says he’ll do everything to make sure “you” walk out a loser - looks like he’s pointing at Roman. Oh yeah… Rock is a double agent on this one. #SmackDown

WrestleMania 31. Watching this live, I remember wondering why Paige was getting emotional after the match. As it turned out, AJ Lee's final WWE match was one night later on Raw.

I've come to realize that a lot of people in their 20s and even in their 30s, have never seen the Rocky movies. This for me is peak childhood nostalgia. I love them, I've seen them a thousand times. If you've never seen them, don't disregard them as "old movies". They are great. This is the climax to Rocky III. My friends still quote Clubber Lang (Mr. T) phrases to this day.

This is from WWE Raw on September 12, 2011. Based on the live reactions that they both get on a regular basis, LA Knight and Chelsea Green should sit next to Triple H in gorilla and just play this on a loop.

Despite fan commentary about how AEW is "minor league" and all the discourse surrounding ticket sales, WWE again proves through their actions that they perceive AEW as legitimate competition. Full episode of Fightful Wrestling's The Hump podcast:
