My son loves watching wrestling and I have been showing him old matches from the 90s WWF and WCW. He loves both and is a big fan of the Hogan, Macho Man, and Sting team vs the others. Tonight, I showed him when Hogan leg dropped Macho Man and was the third member of the NWO. My son was devastated and had the same look I had at nine years old when it happened lol. I told him it’s a cruel world out there.

You obviously were too young to see the day when Christopher George “Buck” Robley attacked Ken Mantell in the parking lot. He went from a good guy to a bad guy, earning his nickname -“Yellow Belly Robley. I was sick. That was day Championship Wrestling in LA changed forever.

I always wondered what happened to Hogan. One day I was watching wrestling and noticed Hogan was dressed in all black with a black beard and I was like WTF. Now I know.

I can't believe he turned his back on all the little Hulksters. He went from telling them to take their vitamins to telling them to eat shite.

That was when Skandor Akbar burnt Hacksaw Jim Duggan in the eye with his cigar.

I was in college when it happened. I remember the following morning on campus hearing people who weren't even wrestling fans talking about it.

the NWO was the perfect situation for Hogan to turn heel in, but it should have happened sooner.

People may not remember this, but his act was kinda stale at the time and people were really started to get tired of the whole schtick.

Him turning heel wasn't THAT shocking

That’s not wrestling, goofus. That’s a show with the word “wrestling” in the title.

It changed for me when David Von Erich died. The Freebirds vs the Von Erichs was never the same.
