yes my dear

[lambert581]

Hogan said in several interviews that at first Andre The Giant didn't like and that Andre used to tan his hide he would beat the crap out of Hogan

[mrmuscle2007]

thanks my dear

hogan's foot was on the rope

The referee deserved the beating because Hogan's foot was on the ropes. I loved heel Hogan from 1979-81 in the WWF.

Hogan had hair? Tony Atlas had a thin waist? What crazy parallel universe is this in?

I remember when I was a kid my older brother telling me Tony Atlas press slammed Hogan and I didn't believe him for the longest time.

@Chrisdrumz.. I believe it was the Wrestler.. Definitely not PWI..

[Chrisdrumz]

@HardrockGX Was it THE WRESTLER that had the pic of the slam on the cover and the headline: "The Battle Between Wrestlings Supermen!"? Maybe it was INSIDE WRESTLING. I know it wasn't PWI.

Atlas was held down and descriminated against by McMahon Inc. He was a man, a wrestling man, and not a "boy." His moma didn't raise no fool.

@HardrockGX You got that right....I can barely stand to watch the stuff today. Somewhere along the way wrestlers have become whining politicians...every week there's somebody on a soap box pissing and moaning about how they're being held back or some other nonsense. Gimme the old days anytime.

[HardrockGX]

@Jonwood74 I was just thinking the same thing. Magazines showed the press slam, but they never mentioned the foot on the rope in this case. After all these years, first time seeing this match and Hollywood was robbed..lol Good match though. Better than the bullshit we're seeing today.

NO...Vince was not making an example of Atlas, Atlas was a idiot....according to people like Rocky Johnson, Atlas had a million dollar body and a 50 cent brain. Which his body was a million times better than Hogan's, Atlas was not very intelligent and he was a bad business man.
