I really didn't understand why WCW was getting higher ratings, and eventually that dichotomy sorted itself out. #Post#: 349340-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hulkamania Still Running Wild?

I spit out all the beer I had in my mouth the first time he said "it doesn't matter what your name is". It pained me to see how underutilized his talents were outside of the WWF. Hollywood didn't know what kind of talent they had. #Post#: 349352-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hulkamania Still Running Wild?

He has sex appeal for the ladies, he's really smart and compassionate, he identifies w the rich and the poor. Basically he's one charismatic mofo. There are those in political circles who want him to run for office. He's been enshrined in wax in Paris. He's still doing movies and voice overs in Hollywood as well. Once you do Disney and the DC/Marvel movies, you're in there. Believe me, he's good and most of Hollywood loves that guy. But back to wrestling....I seen "the Show" one night at PHL International Airport baggage claim. I didn't know who he was at the time, but my eyes were like saucers when I seen this HUMONGOUS male. I kid you not, I couldn't believe how large this man was. Not just in height, but weight, girth, hands, feet, shoulders, chest, everything inch of that mans body was abnormally huge. The few kids that were in the area recognized him and was jumping up and down, so I snapped a pic. When I got home I showed it to my brother who watches wrestling like clockwork, and he told me who he was. I can literally imagine what Andre the Giant looked like now. SN: in the same baggage claim area....Billy Owens. I instantly recognized him waiting on his luggage like the rest of us. No fans, nobody knew who he was. NBA bust but made a nice bag while he was there. #Post#: 349535-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hulkamania Still Running Wild?

And like Stone Cold fans couldn't help but love him. He got his box office money, but I feel like he was only half as entertaining as he could have been. #Post#: 349556-------------------------------------------------- Re: Hulkamania Still Running Wild?

Ur speaking in past tense about him. Did he pass away, walk away from Hollywood, been arrested?

For years after that he openly admitted to feeling ashamed about taking that role, and took low paying roles in other movies to recover his credibility. It's not all about money, though I can't say that money isn't great. *****************************************************
