Hulk Hogan and the Rise of Hulkamania in the 80s
04/22/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
Before he was Hulk Hogan, he was Terry Gene Bollea. And before Hulkamania ran wild in the 1980s, he was carefully crafting the character that would not only change the world of professional wrestling but also break through into mainstream pop culture.
His later years would not be without their controversy, but in the 80s, he was like a real-life superhero for a new generation of kids. Today, we look back on Hulk Hogan in the 1980s; from bodyslamming Andre the Giant to the Rock n' Wrestling Connection and even prime time TV -- he managed to touch all areas of entertainment.

WrestleMania 3: The Biggest Event in Wrestling History (or Was It...?)
04/15/2026 | 57 mins.
It was billed as the biggest event and the biggest matchup in the history of professional wrestling. Held at the Pontiac Silverdome, WrestleMania 3 not only became historic from a wrestling perspective, but also set a new world indoor attendance record.
And it was all built on the back of Andre the Giant vs Hulk Hogan. A match that, even up to the day of the event, was still up in the air as to who would win. Would Andre pass the torch to recognize Hogan as the new face of the business going forward?
A lot was riding on WrestleMania 3, but on that night back in March 1987, history was truly made. Hulk Hogan would pull off the seemingly impossible, and a record crowd of 93,173 was there to see it happen. But was that historic number actually a myth...?

ET: The Movie That Stayed at Number One for 11 Years
04/08/2026 | 52 mins.
Steven Spielberg was extremely nervous... this was the most personal project he had ever created, and he wondered if he had made a huge mistake. That project was E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, a movie that, at its core, is about a child dealing with divorce and loneliness.
The movie had come together well, but was anyone going to see it, especially since it featured unknown actors, and no one had any idea what the alien even looked like?
Not only did people show up, but they showed up in historic numbers. ET not only touched an entire generation, but quickly became the most successful movie in history. A title it would hold for more than a decade.
