Now I see where Vince McMahon got 80% of the Hell In The Cell idea from.

I'm pretty sure Billy Graham coined the phrase "women's pet and the men's regret".

Austin Idol used to talk about how "Idol Mania" was sweeping the nation well before Hogan Hogan used the term Hulkamania.

Hogan also borrowed from The Super Star who originally spoke of his 24 inch human pythons.

Graham is the most emulated wrestler of all time and i believe he may have coined the term "often imitated,but never duplicated".

Hey Lance, market the fountain of youth drink you have obviously found would ya?!

[marathonriverrat]

when i was a kid watching this every sat. idol was one of my fav now. now im afraid he would be no more than a mid carder sad really. tons of charisma and the look also could work with anyone from dundee to hogan.

Austin Idol,another superstar graham fan and wanna be. its almost blasphemy to credit him with the phrase"the womens pet,the men's regret"....get serious!

Everybody is jealous of The International Heartthrob.

The women's pet, the mens' regret.

Jay Strongbow also did the Superman comeback, not sure when he began doing it.

[allennicholson]

is that the worst ref in history Jerry Calhoun?

[CombatSportFan]

@allennicholson Far from it. Calhoun was a very good and compitent referee that helped make the matches seem all the more legitimate.

Some of the worst refs are Earl Hebner (who got incredibly lazy in the mid-90s) and Frank Morrell (Foley has a few "nice" things to say about him in his first book.)

Bruno Sammartino also did the Superman comeback. There was plenty babyfaces who did that type of thing.

[tleatherland]

Lance hasn't changed at all. He looks damn good for a guy nearly 80 years old.

ahaha nice:>

I have been looking for this forever!! Thanks a million...

Hogan got the Superman comeback from Lawler, who got it from Fargo, who got it from Popeye.

[zaius316]

Looks like Hulk Hogan wasn't the only one who did the Superman comeback. In fact, I would suggest that Hulk owes a lot to both Lawler and Idol, as far as his personality and interview skill.
