I didn't know about any non-wwe wrestling until I was in the 6th or 7th grade. I was at my grandma's house, then all of the sudden there's wrestling on tv, but it wasn't WWF wrestling. I was mildly confused, then bored. Later on, after Hogan joined WCW, I was watching TV and all of the sudden I see Hulk Hogan with a pair of brass knuckles holding at least 6 heels at bay. Part of me died seeing that. It was the first instance as a wrestling fan that I couldn't allow my sense of disbelief to kick in. I watched Papa Shango use voodoo and bought it, but not Hogan with a pair of brass knuckles holding off 6 guys.
