Not my cup of tea I'm afraid. Used to watch Big Daddy on World of Sport as a kid. That's about it.

So the worst finisher ruined his back. I never understood why he chose the Leg Drop when he had massive biceps; he should have chosen something like a Forearm Smash or Full Nelson.
He was never a great wrestler, but he was very iconic and knew how to sell moves, sell tickets, and use his mic skills, charisma and catchphrases to become the biggest wrestler on the planet.

I think all that wrestling mania is good fun and Hulk seemed to be a great character.71 is so young.
It took you all this time to figure wrestling is an act and theatre like the Christmas panto and Shakespeare?
Vince McMahon admitted it in the 1980s, it's all entertainment to avoid taxes. Despite people knowing it was all theatre beforehand.

I was at the first WrestleMania at MSG. It was fun seeing Cyndi Lauper, Muhammad Ali and Liberace in one night.
The main event was a sloppy tag match.
