      There's a Christopher Guest comedy movie called "For Your Consideration" and it has a scene where an interviewer is asking a screenwriter a question, and the question just goes on and on for like 2 minutes straight. What Neal did here reminds me of that scene exactly, I wish I could find the clip from the movie to link it.

    I don't follow wrestling, but when he says that wrestlers get tested more than anyone, does that mean a bunch of wrestlers have also been busted for using steroids and then disqualified? Because that happens in sports all the time, and it is a bit suspicious if it doesn't happen in wrestling

      @GutsBatman Před 14 dny +1

      Hogan wasn't a bad wrestler overall. He knew what he could do well and what he couldn't do well, and worked to the former rather than the latter. What changed around Hogan was fans expectations of what a match should look like in the ring. It's a lot like what's happening with the NBA right now with the talk about yesterdays stars, players and game play compared to now. It's definitely true that Hogan's in ring style didn't evolve with the time, but some of that was kind of out of his control.
