I saw him a few times at the Union Avenue French Riviera working out with Sid. I went up to him to say hi and he replied "Hey, yo." It was great, he couldn't have been nicer.
Razor Ramon walking out of the crowd to the ring that night on Monday Nitro ignited and revolutionized the wrestling industry forever. It was the birth of the NWO and the beginning of the biggest run in the history of the business. And it all started that night when he walked out to the ring and announced he had arrived and he was there to start a war.
All the key players have testified that his vision of it played a huge role in everything, including the "Hollywood" Hogan character. Sting said he practically created the entire "crow era" where sting was the superhero avenger standing against the NWO.
Hall played the central and key role in the entire NWO-Attitude era.
How much different would the industry have looked if he had never jumped ship in 1996 like that? That single move led to Kevin Nash deciding to follow him, the birth of the NWO, WCW's 83 week run, Stings crow run, Hogans 2nd career as a heel, and basically forced the entire WWF attitude era.
It really all happened because of him.

I'm not quite 40yo. Is that true? Hogan was based out of Memphis?!
Memphis was a HUGE part of grassroots wrestling! So cool. I didn't grow up in Memphis so I missed so much!

The tv show Young Rock just wrapped up it's season 2. I'm not a yuge fan, but actually enjoy it when I happen to catch it. I saw the next to the last show of season 2. It's all about Memphis rasslin'. Go back and watch it if you get the chance. I believe it's season 2 episode 11.

I worked at the Coliseum from 78-85 off and on. When I saw the "HULK" on TV I remembered him from back then. This from Wikepedia:
After wrestling a show for Continental Wrestling Association (CWA) in Memphis, Jerry Jarrett, the promoter for the CWA, approached Hogan and Leslie and offered them a job in his promotion for $800 a week; this was far more than the $175 a week they would make working for Tillet.[31] Hogan and Leslie accepted this offer and left Tillet's territory.[31]
During his time in Memphis, Hogan appeared on a local talk show, where he sat beside Lou Ferrigno, star of the television series The Incredible Hulk.[32] The host commented on how Hogan, who stood 6 ft 7 in (201 cm) and weighed 295 pounds with 24-inch biceps, actually dwarfed "The Hulk". Watching the show backstage, Mary Jarrett noticed that Hogan was actually bigger than Ferrigno, who was well known at the time for having large muscles. As a result, Bollea began performing as Terry "The Hulk" Boulder[33] and sometimes wrestled as Sterling Golden.[1]
On December 1, 1979, Bollea won his first professional wrestling championship, the NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship (Northern Division), recognized in Alabama and Tennessee, when he defeated Bob Roop in Knoxville, Tennessee. He dropped it in January 1980 to Bob Armstrong. He briefly wrestled in the Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) territory from September through December 1979 as Sterling Golden.
