  • Rest in peace Gorilla Monsoon, there will never be another legend like you.

    Oh, and a big middle finger goes to tdpdx. You can say whatever you want about pro wrestling fans, but nothing is more disgusting than an elitist pig who pretends to be "above" one form of entertainment or another. Kindly remove the pelican beak from your anus at your earliest convenience. Or jam it in further, whatever works.

  • this trick can't see ...gorilla did chop and slap hogan in the top of the head!!!

  • if Gorilla Monsoon could take a world heavyweight boxer Muhammad Ali to school and didn't fear him, he sure as hell didn't fear anybody. Whether people liked him or not, they damn well better have respected him as former WWE president.

  • Ohnoes, she broke da kayfabe.

  • 4:00 "He can knock a guy down without touching him" .....you idiot he just slapped the hell out of his chest ARE YOU BLIND!? lol

  • SOOOON OF A BITCH!!!!! Ha, the samoas speaked english.

  • i wish some one will trow pee p at Cena

  • this doc was done to put down wrestling and the people who enjoyed it. Very bias and trying to wrestlers and fans as clowns. Speeding up the ring action takes away the serious of it then slowing it down to show punches being pulled. When you saw a news story on wrestling in the 70s thru the 90s reporters were always trying to "break the story" not taking it for what wrestling was...a spectacle which suspended belief.

  • @nWoWolfpacTV I am talking domestically. I understand your point.

  • @steveislove Maybe huge dometically in the US & if it was 1980 the WWWF still would have been very much territorial i believe. When Hogan returned in 1984 the WWF was expanding not only nationwide but WORLDWIDE. I know for a fact nobody in the UK in 1980 knew who Bruno & Larry were let alone they were fighting at shea stadium.

  • @3:58 Listen to her gettin' all sassy

  • Hogan taking shortcuts? I think he means learning to actually wrestle.
