Check out the debut of Hulk Hogan when he started in the WWF, with Blassie as his manager! His mic skills were a LOOOOONG way from "Well, let me tell you something, Mean Gene!" Hogan can't even pronounce "DiBiase" correctly (kind of like "Paul OrnDOFF", LOL)!  Later! Todd C WTIC |

the ones he did in Memphis are kind of funny with a southern accent. "Monday night in Memphis daddy..."
that's right , where there is now "Brother" there was once "Daddy"

at least DiBiase got the e there..in some cases they dropped it and it was pronounced DiBias.

Thanks for the replies! It's fascinating to see wrestlers as they started out, and how much they change over their career! the ones he did in Memphis are kind of funny with a southern accent. "Monday night in Memphis daddy..." that's right , where there is now "Brother" there was once "Daddy" I'm not sure who Hogan picked up "brother" from. It was probably Superstar Graham, or Snuka! I did see footage of Hogan when he was known as "Terry Golden", with a BEARHUG as his Finisher! Who would have thought back then he'd be a HUGE draw in the 80's? Later! Todd C WTIC |
