Fortress is gonna view that badassery later, after work.

Warrior was SUCH a major inspiration for me.

He was an inspiration to many in the 80s

He was definitely my favorite as a kid. In retrospect he couldn't work for shit and by all accounts was a total asshole

Yeah, his dealings with Vince et al was not of interest to us in 1980

We only saw his electrifying rush to the Ring to them Guitars

Ultimate Warrior had a good look and entrance scene, but he couldn't wrestle.

His look , entrance, antics and clotheslines was enough to win us over back in 1980-1988

Warrior was more of what is known in pro wrestling as a "shooter" than a "worker", but he had the look the fans went for.  By all accounts a nice guy too.

Hercules in his prime was very underrated as a performer.  He should have been pushed more than he was.

Dude was thick.

McMahon: That’s stupidity!

Ventura: That’s not stupidity. He’s got the champion crawling on the mat. Hogan’s eating canvas out there!

My grandpa was/is a huge schmoe. He had made/recorded a tape or two of all the jacked WWF wrestlers back in the day and every time I'd visit I'd watch it. The Ultimate Warrior, M.Man, Hogan, Hercules, Rick Rude, Moroccan fella, Bulldogs...

It's insane how many 38-86.2yo's around the world were so affected and inspired by just a few wrestlers and actors (+ 1 singer in my case and Galeniko's). Millions of us, easily. Would any of us have used steroids and been obsessed with getting huge if Macho Man, U.Warrior, Hogan, Arnold, Sly and JCVD never existed? Would we be here today on getbig if they never existed? Would getbig exist if they never did? Probably not.
They (their roided-up muscles, really) corrupted everyone's minds. And not just us/men.


We have gone from hyper-masculinity in our day
to
well, the exact fucking opposite (today).

From Macho Man, to that overrated arab-indian looking zyzz clown, to the current SpiderMan twink.
Give it another 15 years and it will be a super-phaggy tranny who teen-boys will look up its skirt to.

I never found Macho Man to be jacked looking until he took that break in WCW and returned to feud with DDP.

He was huge and ripped in that Spider Man cameo. Looked like he was feeling the sides.
