It was a great time to be a kid. Even in high school, we couldn't be completely sure the nWo wasn't a real thing. Sure, we suspected, but we didn't KNOW for sure.

Hulk once said that promoters tried to arrange a fight between him and Tyson and that it didn't happen because Tyson backed out because he was scared.

It’s obvious he was contractually obligated not to harm the pretty boy. You could tell he was holding back and doing as told for a payday.
It was mutual imo. Neither guy ever jumped on the other the entire fight.

I remember pretty vividly trying to watch Hogan vs Andre in either late 80’s early 90’s through scrabble vision on cable since we didn’t have the channel.

That was just the introduction to scrabble vision as a young man.

Kind of an odd post. You think it was better to be a kid in the 80s because you couldn't watch the boxers/wrestlers perform? I'd prefer being able to watch them.
