They actually used to put The Hulkster up on a box to make him seem even bigger during his interviews with Okerlund.

He was one of the reasons for the first big Wrestling run of the 80's. Rip.

It's sad that all the protagonists of Andre's heel turn on Piper's Pit are now gone - except Hogan.

Mean Gene was never in the best of health, he made 76. He's in the top three of the best wrestling promoters along with Jim Ross and Ernie Roth (Abdullah Farouk).

Mean Gene and Bobby the Brain were the best of the best! The guys they have today calling matches couldn't hold a candle to these legends.

Mean Gene never called any matches. He just did interviews.
