    Sometimes I wonder about how life was like i the 1980s. I was but a wee one, born in 83’. Not old enough to remember Hulkamania running wild in 85, when Hulk slammed Andre the Giant.

    I see the fued he had with Macho Man Randy Savage, over Miss Elizabeth’s attention. And I wonder…

    Miss Elizabeth must have been out there every night at ringside in the house show circuit. Which is where they test things out in front of a non-televised audience to gauge audience reaction. In a time before internet, nobody knew the results of these shows. If it didn’t happen on tv, nobody saw it.

    So Miss Elizabeth is out there, every night as Hogan and Savage practice their spots and plan their fued for tv. And every night Hogan drops the leg drop on Savage. Which is basically just hogan falling flat on his ass with a high impact to his tailbone.

    Do you think, in a homophobic society of the 1980s, but also a closeted gay accepting social structure like the locker room of professional wrestling…do think Hogan ever wore a vibrating butt plug, and Miss Elizabeth held the wireless remote control? She could turn it up to full power just as Hogan runs the ropes for the leg drop, so he cums as he sits on Savages face.

    And NOBODY would ever know…and now two out of three of them are dead.

        Radio waves, tho…

        The first mobile telephone was in the 40s using radio… that’s plenty of time for more niche adaptations… not saying they did happen, only that they could have. The battery pack or generator would be huge (which is why they were in cars).

        But ring a number for a bum jingle, why not?

        Clearly this person put a lot of thought into this but I dk if things being chronologically accurate mattered.
