Ever since Vince McMahon prospered in turning the WWE into a global empire, there has been a bevy of competitors vying to knock him off his perch. In the 80's countless regional outfits tried to compete with the WWE (then WWF) on a national level. These companies contained the Bill Watts owned UWF, Verne Gagnes AWA and the renowned NWA. None of which had the resources nor the business acumen to match McMahon. In the 90's, the Turner owned enterprise World Championship Wrestling, fathered a viable

Wrestling. Part II: Knowledge and Preconceptions. After being exposed to professional wrestling for quite sometime, I became somewhat knowledgeable of the sport. I became familiar with most of the wrestling superstars it produced, notably Hulk Hogan which many consider the icon of pro- wrestling.

Rey put both his hands straight in the air, lifting off the ground and slowly accelerating towards the heavens. The Hulkster pointed to the few living crowd members, and began what is traditionally known in weeb circles as the “Super Saiyan Shout.” Hogan stood the Giant up, got him locked in, then hit with a ferocious body slam. An explosion of unprecedented size destroyed the arena, and it was a few minutes before the smoke cleared. Although the arena was but a crater, as was all of Earth, the Hulkster

Current Issues Professional Wrestling When some people hear the word wrestling they think of “2 points takedown” or headgear and singlets. But most people think of the WWF, WCW, NWO, and the WolfPac.

Stereotyping the Mentally Disabled in the World Wrestling Federation The ongoing misperception of the mentally ill/disabled, has led me to research the topic in further depth.

Marvel Comics’ Hulk is a famous anti-hero who first appeared in the book The Incredible Hulk in 1962. The first thing readers notice is the green, hulking humanoid creature on the cover of the book; but, on the inside, this muscular monster’s alter ego is Robert Bruce Banner who is everything the Hulk is not.
