36 is a pretty damn strong number ...

And those guys played consecutively

Bruce Elia handed the 36 to Cousineau who handed the 36 to Marek who handed it to Spielman

…who handed it to… Judah Hermann

Rolle was good, but he did not really live up to the brief legacy of that number. No one has

Here’s hoping Gabr Powers can rekindle the tradition

Wilkinson was a good player.
Not first-pick-in-the-league good, but not a bust.

That’s fair. Never lived up to the hype, but certainly not on the tier of suckitude with those other turds. And Carter was hurt, so similar deal for him. But regardless, nowhere near what you expect from a #1 overall pick.

No one in the history of any sport had a higher peak than Hogan had at WrestleMania X8. Never seen anything like it. Neither Hogan, nor The Rock, knew what the fuck was going on. :lol:

I think Austin got there in the late 90s, but it was only for about 2 years. Hogan dominated from the early 80s to the middle 90s.

Wrestlemania X8 was a great example of feeling what the crowd wants and going with it.

The man wasn't great, he was flawed. The character is one everyone remembers - over the top, maybe a little cheesy, but as the X post says, at the time it was PERFECT. You hear the music and you immediately have an image of Hogan. Most guys my age pretended to be him at some point in front of a mirror. He was essential in taking what was a very regional pseudo-sport promotion and make it into a multi-media powerhouse that is worth literal billions.

Maybe others have had higher peaks, but no one has or will have the lasting impact Hulk Hogan had on both the pro wrestling business but also media and pop culture in general. And for a lot of us who are Gen X, this was a part of our childhood passing on.

Yeah, man. If you didn't grow up in the 80s, you don't understand how huge he was. I've always gravitated to the bad guys when I was into rasslin', so I was a Piper guy. Also was a big fan of King Kong Bundy and heel Andre. When he turned, 10 year old me cackled with glee. But, yeah, Hogan made it all possible. There will never be a bigger spectacle than Hogan/Andre at WrestleMania 3.
