www.youtube.com/watch?v=YSVagi6zYwc This week’s moment takes place many many years ago.  It was before Hogan knows best.  It was before Hulk Hogan made an ass out of himself with a black beard calling himself the leader of the N.W.O or New World Order in the NWA, WCW, or whatever the hell it was back then.
