  1. I can't wait to hear how Hulk Hogan became a star with absolutely zero input from Vince McMahon and WWF.

  2. GREAT AMERICAN TURKEY HUNT……….COL DEBEERS VS JAKE MILLIMAN Eric, you gotta defend this…..

  3. A lot of good people got started in AWA. Ric Flair, Hulk, and Eric B just to start the list. AWA was very important as was NWA. Some folks seem to over look these facts.
