That was nice, I liked it. PulseMM (11:28:23 PM): I’m glad they are televising Piper and Hogan. PulseMM (11:28:33 PM): These were the guys I grew up hating and loving. Not James Dudley. You guys read this yet?

PK’s supposed to be Madden, but he’s being too quiet. PulseMM (11:32:45 PM): Interesting that Cena and Austin are in the front row with the McMahons, and Batista’s a few rows back. PulseMM (11:33:00 PM): And WE’RE back with Mene Gene and a Hogan video compilation. insidepulse (11:33:41 PM): i wonder when that vince interview footage is from PulseMM (11:35:18 PM): Wow Vince, Bischoff, Cena, Heenan I understand … but Bob Costas and Will Sasso being interviewed for this video?? insidepulse (11:35:33 PM): costas gives it real sports credibility (11:36:00 PM) baddasspk has left the room.

They’re all marks at heart. PulseMM (11:41:54 PM): Brooke Hogan’s like 8 feet tall. PulseMM (11:42:26 PM): Anyone else interesting in the crowd, PK? PulseMM (11:43:55 PM): Ok! PulseMM (11:45:45 PM): Stallone’s there, praises Hogan as a performer and giant. He mentions Terry Funk as getting him into wrestling, and Hogan "making me look better than I really am." PulseMM (11:46:14 PM): Hogan comes out to "Real American" and the crowd’s nuts for him — and he starts to pose as we go to commercial.

I think the camera caught it for a split second, and I was thinking to myself, damn, Vince looks emaciated. baddasspk (11:49:31 PM): ya baddasspk (11:49:43 PM): I thought it was Vince too…but the purple hair gave it away PulseMM (11:50:22 PM): The crowd’s going nuts for Hogan, chanting his name, and you can tell Nick Bollea wants to take a bow. insidepulse (11:50:35 PM): nasty nick? baddasspk (11:50:37 PM): I love the bandana/tux look PulseMM (11:51:23 PM): Hasn’t said a word in 3 minutes and another standing O. baddasspk (11:51:24 PM): In case you cant see it, they are all actually cheering for Horace, who is on the side of the stage PulseMM (11:52:13 PM): I’m such a mark, I’m eating this up.
