Bravo to the shots of LJN Tito Santana and LJN King Kong Bundy taking in this emotional moment. If you notice he seems to have placed several guys together based on the Wrestlemania 3 card. Savage/Steamboat, JYD/Race, and Jake/Honky. I didn't catch any others.

I can’t lie, being a kid during this era made me a little choked up over this.

I can’t lie, being a kid during this era made me a little choked up over this. I was a kid a little after this era, but still got me a bit. Mostly from thinking of my kids and the things that make them feel safe, and like everything is going to be just fine.

Yep. In front of 100 million screaming Hulkamaniacs.
And then a couple days later Andre died.

He also has a song about watching the nude scenes in Friday the 13th A New Beginning as a child. So I guess he an I lived the same childhood.

He slammed him a couple of times back during their 1980-81 feud including a match in Shea Stadium but that doesn’t count because Hogan was the heel and Andre was the face plus Andre was lighter

I wasn't even born in 1987 but yeah i for Years thought like many others WM 3 was the first Slam. The Slams before looked way more impressive cause Andre was less overweight and way more in Shape.

Yep. Hogan slammed him hard enough to crack the crust of the earth, in front of 5 million screaming Hulkamaniacs, and Andre died on impact.

Wait, Hulk Hogan bodyslammed Andre the Giant?!?! At what obscure, undoubtedly sparsely attended and never referenced again professional wrestling event did this take place at?

Nah, the way I like to remember it was Hogan saying how he was gonna do it, but Andre bitch-slapped him and Hogan was shook and had the angle called off.
