 Well let me tell you something Mean Gene, I know exactly what you are doing brother! Your up there and all of the angles are singing 'Tootie Fruitie' on top of those big white clouds. I know that you are puttin' the greatest tag match together brother. The tag match between the Macho Man -Ooooh Yeah, Randy Savage and the Ultimate Warrior. Versus Rowdy Roddy Piper and Me. Perfect. And i also know, Andre the Giant is a special referee brother. And I also know that you are probably breaking up a fight between your close personal friends Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby the Brain Heenan." -Hulk Hogan on WWE Monday Night Raw on 01/07/2019. |

You need a Jakks Monsoon. I should track that figure down but am hoping that Mattel will release one at some point. I really wish that we were getting Monsoon, Jesse Ventura, and Vince McMahon in their announcer roles from Mattel. However, we did get The Fink and Mean Gene this past year so perhaps... |

What I liked most about Gene’s tribute video is that they showed a lot of WCW. It was like 50% WWF 45% WCW and 5% AWA. Considering how much WWF footage they had of him and how much Vince tries to pretend that only what you accomplished in WWF matters, I figured the video would be 99% WWF and 1% other.

Same happens when a Collection is made of someone on the WWE Network. I was very surprised to see the nWo 4 Life Collection be ALL WCW. I was certain it was going to be like 4 WCW videos, and like 20 WWE videos. |

GREAT post OP!
That had me teary eyed last night watching Hulk on Raw!
Makes me realize everytime how short life is and the good old days are gone never to come back. I guess that why many of us adults are on here doing what we do and buying "dolls" LOL! There was nothing like the old days of wrestling and there was SOOO much of it. If heaven is like life here, there is one heck of wrestling federation going on up there!
Seeing the Mean Gene highlight reminded me i gotta back watch old awa stuff and early wwf 1980-1984.
I also just got a wrestling bug bite again like never before and watched some of raw last night. I stopped watching hardcore in 1999, dabbed a bit until 2002 or so and just stopped following it. so i literally got 17 yrs wrestling to go back and start watching again. im pretty excited.

There's definitely a lot more footage they could have used instead of so many still photos. And they had time to do it, I don't see why they didn't. |

You can pop the Jakks figure's head (can get on eBay) onto a Mattel suited body - example below from what I did:

My favorite memory is when he swore during a Summerslam interview segment with Rick Rude and Heenan when the background sign fell down

The video was pretty much the same video from when he went into the HOF... A few edits.

The Network "Mean Gene Collection" actually has a "Top 10 Hotline Plugs"! ten clips of Gene selling that damn hotline (teasing like crazy)....... you should check it out! |

Hulk, what did you mean by "big white clouds"?
Joke aside, awesome recreation of a certified tearjerker moment. Kudos.
