https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Zdn3Me8X-M#t=103 Hulk Hogans connection with the WWF, WCW and WWE audience is considered to be a thing of legend. Much like a thing of legend, the reality is somewhat different smaller, less impressive and in some cases just some guy in an alligator onesie getting his mates to take blurry pictures of him pretending to destroy Tokyo. Case in point: Hogans promo intended to shore up excitement for the 1987 Survivor Series pay-per-view. Clearly given little in the way of preparation except being told to look fired up and hungry, Hogans team constantly do that 1980s-WWF thing of rubbing their hands together, laughing maniacally and staring off into the middle distance, while Hogan shouts gruffly and incoherently in front of and over the top of them. About hunger, mostly. Theyre all so hungry. This promo is where Ryback gets all his stuff from, isnt it? Busted. In fairness to him, back when wrestling was as real as Hogans 24-inch pythons he really could talk thousands of people into the building: in a booming voice, hed invite his male siblings to allow him to speak to them, call them Jack and miracles would occur. But then a lot of wonderful things happened in the 1980s that could never happen in real life, and Hulk Hogan was one of them.
