WWF, Mid 80's
Note from Blade: Hulk Hogan dry humps Mean Gene on a flight of stairs. What can we say? We wanted a little something for the ladies.
WWF, Mid 80's
These days, it seems anyone even remotely involved in the business of pro wrestling gets in the ring and works. I mean, just look at the Diva Search and its aftermath - countless generic women getting into the ring for no apparent reaso. And while many of you may grimace when you see Candace or some other skank in the ring, just remember: it could be worse. It could be MUCH worse.
Just ask any WWF fan from the mid 80's, who were subjected to a matchup that pitted Mr. Fuji & George "The Animal" Steele against Hulk Hogan and Gene Okerlund.
Yes, MEAN GENE OKERLUND.
Not only that, but we got to see lots of footage of Gene training for the big event.
The Hulkster shows up at Gene's house (nice decor, no?) at 5:00 am. Gene is enjoying his breakfast: coffee and cigars.I think that's combo #6 at the Waffle and Steak.
Hulk chastises him,
and they head out to begin training.
Their workout seems to consist of Hulk carrying Gene up the stairs of the arena...
...then Gene carrying Hulk up the steps.
You know, come to think of it, these shots give the impression that Hulk and Gene had a very "special" relationship. Hmmm...
And I don't even want to get into this shot.
Or this one!
In fact, their workout even SOUNDED like a bad, grade B gay porno.
Anyway, they finally made it to the match. Gene gave Mr. Fuji the Big Boot, and Hulk lifted him up over the ropes, and dropped him onto Fuji for the pin.
And while you may think that Hulk putting his hand on Gene's butt is even further proof of their relationship, I would say that Hogan letting ANYONE other than himself get the pin is the real tell tale here.
How did they celebrate? Well, how do you think?
And of course, Gene had the traditional post-coitus stogie.
I could give you more details of the match, but really, why bother? Suffice to say it sucked. Amazingly, Okerlund would go on to wrestle again, this time in WCW against Mark Madden of all people.
And why did this happen? Because someone, for some reason, saw the footage above and thought it would be a good idea.
Frightening.
Mean Gene: "Well, Hulk - I'm just getting ready for breakfast. I'm going have some eggs, some pancakes, some bacon. Before I work out, I'm having a cigar."
