If you were a kid who grew up watching pro wrestling in the 80’s, there’s a high probability that you wanted to be Hulk Hogan. He was the biggest name in the industry (still is, as far as Pop Culture goes) and seemed larger than life. If not Hogan, maybe Dusty Rhodes, Ultimate Warrior or Kerry Von Erich was more your cup of tea. Whomever it was you idolized, they likely all had one thing in common: They were a ‘star’.For every Hogan, however, there were countless guys you never gave a second thought. Many of these guys were extremely talented in their own right, but perhaps due to bad luck, wrong place/wrong time, bad body, poor promo, or a lack of the ever-elusive “it”, found themselves relegated to a life of staring straight up at the ceilings of every VFW, armory, theater and arena all across the nation, 3 seconds at a time.
