...the other one is too long.

Back in the Hulk-a-mania heyday, I was a ring announcer for the WWF. I was flying with Hulk to Minneapolis one day from Los Angeles for a match that night. Hulk was drinking ALOT on the flight btw.

When the jet touched down, I looked towards the terminal and saw literally THOUSANDS of kids pressed against the windows waiting to see Hulk Hogan, their hero. Remember now, this was at the very peak of Hulk-a-mania, just a few months before he wrestled Andre' The Giant at Wrestlemania.

Hulk was drunk, walked down the jetway towards the screaming mob of kids and bellowed out, "Outta my way you little bastards, I gotta pee!" Classic.

In Minot, North Dakota, of all places, Adrian Adonnis was wrestling in a match against Barron Von Raske (Remember the claw?). Adrian boasted that he weighed more than any pro wrestler, some 500+ pounds at that time. Von Raske whipped Adrian into the ropes, which suddenly snapped, sending 500 pounds into the front row of spectators. Thank God I was on the other side.

One more...

The great Indian Chief Wahoo McDaniels was so fat he had a string tied to his dick and used the string to "pull it out" when he had to pee.

With a few more quality posts like this Zuluking could quickly become to wrestling what Dominic is to porn.

No, no. and no. Another story...

IN 1988 we had a show at the Iowa State Fair. The show was scheduled to start at 7pm. At 6pm we were informed by the Secret Service that Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis made a last minute change in his schedule and was going to speak at the fair at 9pm. Nobody would be allowed into the fairgrounds after 7pm.

Wrestling crowds are always late because they know that the "names" don't wrestle until later on the card. So by 7pm we only had 200-300 out of 10,000+ tickets sold! Vince happened to be there that night and at 8pm said, "Fcuk it. On with the show!" We invited everyone down to ringside and proceeded with the matches. Those 200-300 "early birds" got primo seats that night.
