I love the WWF of the eighties and early nineties! I especially love the videos you do about wrestlers interacting with the fans! As we share our hearts and lives with each other! I also truly enjoy almost all of the biographical videos, as I have always felt very deeply connected great majority of the superstars. I love learning about their lives and their families outside of the Ring! On myself have Bret Hart as a very heartfelt favorite, I was blessed enough to meet Bret.in 1995! In the month of July. It was the 26 of July 1995 to be exact! I also wanted to marry Bret Hart ! This is when I was quite a bit younger! Amazing man, very sweet!

This section was very informational. I did not realize what had become of these wrestlers from the 80's as many stars just drop out of sight as the WWE has a habit of not divulging the real situations with most wrestlers when they leave the organization.

this would be an excellent ongoing series. maybe like 3 historic wrestlers an episode "where are they now." I'm not a hardcore wrestling fan by any means. But I do often find myself looking up wrestlers to find out where they are up to. sadly, there's a lot that I just find out are dead.

My family and I used to literally live our lives around the schedule of WWF programming and television especially me. I haven't watched it as much since my daddy passed away in 2007. There's nothing like the wrestling indoor entertainment whatever you want to call it of the 1980s and 90s I also have just about every piece of music but the people of the WWF ever released! Also I think it might be nice to have a video on their history of the cartoon series Hulk Hogan's rocking wrestling! Just a few ideas and suggestions for you I promise you don't have to take them all. Thank you very much for your attention operation and consideration.

Though I did follow wrestling in the 80's, there are a lot of names I never even heard of... And a lot of great names that were left behind (don't know if the argument is that they were still big in the 90's, but their biggest time were during the 80's)... You talked about Tito Santana, so how could you forget his partner Rick Martel... What about all the great names: Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant, Ravishing Rick Rude, Jake The Snake Roberts, Road Warriors, Rougeau Brothers, Dino Bravo, Ultimate Warrior, Randy Savage, Brett Hart (yeah, he was in the 90's as well) and so many more, a lot more popular than those mentioned...?

I am 40 years old, and I grew up with the 80s and 90s of the WWF. Hulk Hogan Bret Hart long Michael Macho Man Randy Savage Hillbilly Jim the Rockers Shawn Michaels and Marty jannetty the Hart Foundation Misty Elizabeth Jim Powers and Paul Roma the young stallions Jimmy Hart Rockin Robin Wendi Richter and many others I'm sure I'm forgetting some. I also loved the heart of people like Andrew's Martin AKA test I loved to see Shawn Michaels rise as a Christian. A testament to what I knew already. The humanist and heart of WWF wrestlers and their plans. Also wouldn't mind marrying Shawn Michaels if he wasn't married to Rebecca. Same story with Brett when he was younger. Same story with Andrew Martin AKA test if he hadn't passed away. I also truly do miss the WWF magazine. I used to read the articles and look at the pictures A-list magazine all the time would you be willing to do more videos on Mesa Street the WWF magazine and the superstars who were regularly a part of it? Also loved Kevin Nash as Big Daddy Cool Diesel. This is when he had the really dark brown hair, his heart just seemed to really come through during this time of life in the WWF.

I will never forget when my now ex wife then girlfriend said to him "Nikolai how are Hillbilly Jim and Elizabeth doing?" said "there fine" as we walked away I could have swore that he made a comment to the person sitting next to him saying "how in the hell should I know" I never felt so embarassed in my entire life, until (Heather Geddes, my girlfriend and ex wife) said that to him

It shouldn't have been a surprise Koko made it to the Hall of Fame. Indeed, Koko should have been inducted a lot earlier. That little guy drew crowds, just not to the level others did. He was a brilliant house warmer. Funny, with more of an in ring push he could have been even bigger than he was. At the time he was making it in the mid-cards smaller guy's and black blokes really weren't where the money was. In many way's Koko was years ahead of his time and with more diversity and another gimmick (the "Birdman" sadly probably wouldn't go over with today's fans) he may have been something of a Mysterio. Koko was a great acrobatic technical wrestler and I'd have loved to have seen him work with guy's like Rude, Hart, Steamboat, Savage, Flair, Sting, Valentine, etc. I recall he did some gigs with the Rockers at some point?
