Wrestling and I have a torrid history. I was huuuuuge into the glory days of the WW(insert letter here). Hacksaw Jim Dugan, Andre, Macho Man, all of them, but I was a massive fan of Hulk Hogan as a child. I'm one of the few people who can describe, in detail, most of the episodes of
Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling. However, Lil' Skav didn't get Pay Per View, and was still young enough to believe that "good guys won in the end," so when Hulk Hogan was scheduled to face The Undertaker, Lil' Skav knew it was a sure thing. The good guy would win, the bad guy would lose. Then at school, it broke. Hogan lost. Lil' Skav was crushed. He skipped the entire Attitude era, really only knows Dwayne Johnson from movies, and if he ever sees an episode while flipping through channels, he would lament the loss of colorful characters, great costumes, and how even
this could be laughed off without destroying a career.
This, of course, being years before he really knew much about the system, how broken it is, how dickish certain people were, and how Hogan really wasn't a role model outside of the ring, but, y'know, childhood heroes, right?
(However, I really have been enjoying GLOW. I have to watch it in bursts, it can feel a little too "real" sometimes, but that's also partly due to there being such an amazing cast. I know it ends prematurely, but I'm just getting into the third season.)
(But seriously, a series where a much more adult Annie Edison and Knives Chow wrestle? The only way it would have been better would be if it had just starred them and added the phrase "THEY FIGHT CRIME.")
As for Mordo, one of the few appearances of him I ever read was in David's X-Factor, where he goes up against Strong Guy, Monet, and Darwin, and believes he cured his cancer by absorbing life force from Monet, when in fact she used her telepathy to just make him think it happened. But he was easily a threat the three weren't going to be able to defeat by themselves otherwise.
