[RERUN] Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling (as painful as a camel clutch to watch)
With the recent passing of Hossein Khosrow Ali Vaziri (AKA the Iron Sheik) at age 81, I thought I would pull this review out from the archives. Unlike most of my RERUN reviews, not much will be changed except fixing a broken video. I remember a live-action clip from the show that featured The Iron Sheik and his then-partner Nikolai Volkov getting their hands stuck in cement, but I can’t find it anywhere on the internet. If anyone can find it, please let me know in the comments.
Instead, in honor of the fallen Legend, here’s a clip of the late Mr. Vaziri at his best!
youtube
(Thanks to The Best Wrestling Promos of All Time)
[As a side note, Vaziri was in the US for over 40 years before his death. I don’t think his English EVER improved!]
If you would like to see the original review (with the broken video fixed), you may do so here.

Blame psychelynx for this. They requested it, and I’m doing it (under protest)
OK, confession time again. I’m a long-time fan of professional wrestling. I also grew up in the northeast, so the only wrestling I could get was the World Wrestling Federation (now known as World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE. Damn pandas...). Later, once I was able to see “southern style” wrestling through World Championship Wrestling (WCW) I realized what I was missing.
These days, I still consider myself a wrestling fan, but a lot of what’s on TV is a far cry from wrestling, but that’s a rant for another day. We’re here to show how much the World Wrestling Federation (I will not be using their acronym as I don’t wanna get sued by the World Wildlife Fund or WWF) pandered to kids in the era of Hulkamania (and how dumb they thought kids were in the 80s)
[NOTE: A few of the wrestlers featured had an allegiance shift and/or were fired during the original airing (or shortly after), plus their popularity may have faded due to later events. I am therefore just looking at the show as its own “universe” outside the World Wrestling Federation, though I will note how things may have differed.]
The “cast” were as follows (and I will have to explain who’s who, as they don’t look like their namesakes and the voice actors don’t sound anything like them either)
For the good guys (or “babyfaces”, to use wrestler lingo) we had...
From front to back: Hulk Hogan (note that his cartoon version has a full head of hair when even in 1985 his hairline was receding down the back of his head), Tito Santana (I actually had to watch a couple of episodes to be certain who it was), “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka (who was decades away from being arrested for a murder that happened before this aired), Captain Lou Albano, Wendi Richter (who was fired while the show was on the air), Junkyard Dog, Hillbilly Jim, and Andre the Giant (who was about a year away from becoming a bad guy and challenging Hogan for the title)
For the bad guys (or “heels”) we had...
Big John Studd and “Rowdy” Roddy Piper (just months before becoming a babyface and leaving to film They Live) along with...
Nikolai Volkoff, the Iron Sheik (who never actually had abs that looked that good), Mr. Fuji, and the Fabulous Moolah
Also featured on the program were...
Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and...
“Mean” Gene Okerlund
[Looking at the cast of characters, it’s kind of sad how many are no longer with us. I think Tito Santana, Hillbilly Jim, Wendi Richter, and Hulk Hogan are it!]
The shows featured two short cartoons (or one full-length cartoon) filled with plots that would have been rejected by the Three Stooges (such as Junkyard Dog and Piper in a race for the right for their car to be crushed by a giant robot dinosaur) and the wrestlers are complete idiots (such as Andre trying to hide a radio the babyfaces need by sitting on it (keep in mind that the real-life Andre the Giant was billed as over 450 pounds))
In between this comedy “gold” (more like lead), we are “treated” to “comedy” sketches by the real-life wrestlers such as this lunacy...
youtube
(Thanks to Saturday Morning Deathgrip)
There is one minor bright spot (just for the sheer comedy...certainly not for the music) that came from this show. It repeatedly showed this little ditty, a cover of Wilson Pickett’s Land of 1000 Dances, performed by pretty much the entire lineup of the World Wrestling Federation
youtube
(Thanks to morrisonAV)
Holy crap, is that Meat Loaf on drums?
[BTW, anyone who can identify everyone in this video has my undying respect, as I don’t remember everyone and I grew up watching the World Wrestling Federation!]
Of course, given what was on World Wrestling Federation programming in the 80s, I guess you couldn’t be too surprised by any of this.
If you would like to see this lunacy, it’s on Internet Archive. If you would like to see an episode reviewed...uhhh, NO!
(Thanks to WWE)

Hypnovember Day 9: Magic/Fantasy
Seems @mathhypnostories is having a bit of trouble with day 8, or I missed it, possible too, but I hope this will give him some motivation
Based on an idea for a longer Merlin fic I though of a few times but ain’t planning on doing till I at least finished 2/3 ongoing studd of mine. Maybe I’ll revisit it. Probably.
"Release the prisoner. And leave us alone.”
“And leave the good and righteous king with the meanie and powerful sorcerer, your highness- Are you kidding me? Really? They follow your orders even when they’re so dumb?”
“Our guards are trained for years to follow blindly orders. No dissident thought is allowed.”
“Well, that does explain why you seem so stuck-up. And that makes it even easier to sway the kingdom in one way or another, you know that, your majesty?”
“Silence! Do you know what you stand accused of?”
“Sorcery. But I promise I always used it for benevolent purposes…”
“So you admit to treason?”
“URGH……”
“What is this light coming from your pendant? Turn it off! It’s blinding!”
“NO! Look at it! It’s pretty, isn’t it? Shining so many colors, shifting shape.”
“yeah- YES! Pret..ty.”
“And it’s so relaxing, isn’t it? So, so relaxing…”
“Yeah… So relax…ed”
“See? magic isn’t so bad.”
“I.. I guess so???”
“Tell you what! I stay around, rather than be executed, and I can show plenty of pretty, relaxing, tricks like that, and convince you that magic isn’t bad! You love the idea, don’t you?”
“Yea… Yeah? But what is your endgoal.”
“If I can convince you of welcoming magic, how about… You make me the court wizard? That way, I can show you the pretty lights forever. You would LOVE that, won’t you, princess?”
“yea…Yeah… i would love…. Your Princess”

[Ardite woke up in an infuriatingly familiar hive, sitting up in the violet bedsheets with her hand on her head. These past few weeks haven’t been easy for her—they were filled with running and hiding and humiliation. The last place she expected to be was fucking Erriss’s hive.]
OH, GOOD. YOU’R= FUCKING CONSCIOUS.
[Erriss waltzed into the room, a small robot following him with a tray containing one (1) glass of water.]
xxErriss? What...?xx
[The violet let out a laugh at her disorientation.]
WHAT? DID YOU THINK M= TH= TYP= TO L=AV= A FRI=ND D=AD IN A DITCH??
xxDo you want me to answer that honestly?xx
[He put an offended hand on his chest.]
YOU WOUND M=, ARDIT=. AND AFT=R I SAV=D YOUR LIF=, NO L=SS.
xxI’m not selling you any more help.xx
[He laughed again—but when Ardite didn’t laugh with him, or so much as crack a smile, he frowned.]
...YOU’R= NOT KIDDING.
xxNo. I’m not.xx
SO YOU’R= FUCKING BRAIN DAMAG=D???
xxErriss, I haven’t enjoyed my job for a long time. I can’t keep brainwashing other trolls—they have lives. Loved ones. I can’t do it. I’m done—
[He grabbed her by the throat and yanked her up to his face, eyes livid.]
OH, SHUT TH= FUCK UP WITH THAT. NO—THIS IS ABOUT THAT DUMB FUCKING BRONZ= YOU LOST AFT=R YOU GOT SHOT. DO=S IT R=ALLY JUST TAK= A F=W B=ATINGS TO G=T YOU RUNNING SCARED??
[Disappointment was all over his face, now inches from her own.]
WH=N DID YOU G=T SO FUCKING PATH=TIC?
[He threw her back down onto the bed. She gasped for air, rubbing her neck.]
G=T UP.
xxErriss—
DID I FUCKING STUDD=R? TH= FUCK DID I JUST SAY?
[She forced herself to stand on shaky legs before Erriss yanked her by the hair out of the room, forced to follow close behind him.]
xxErriss—Erriss wait, you can’t—
[He gave her a harsh yank, earning a yelp.]
I CAN’T WHAT, ARDIT=?
[She shut her mouth.]
I’LL T=LL YOU WHAT I CAN’T DO. I CAN’T L=T A KNOWN ASSOCIAT= OF MIN= WALK AROUND ACTING LIKE A FUCKING PACIFIST. YOU WANT TO HUG AND KISS RUSTBLOODS? FIN=. I’ll JUST TR=AT YOU LIK= ON= UNTIL YOU COM= TO YOUR FUCKING S=NS=S.
[As they led her down to the basement, panic started to flood Ardite’s bloodstream.
xxErriss, please, you don’t—
[He yanked her hair again.]
SHUT. TH= FUCK. UP.
xxBut—
[He pulled her forward and slapped her, hard enough to leave a blue handprint on the side of her face. If he wasn’t holding onto her hair, she likely would’ve been sent to the ground. He pulled her back up, the poor girl now dizzy from pain.]
YOU’R= NOT IN MUCH OF A POSITION TO B= STUBBORN, DUMBASS.
[By the time the sting faded and she was finally able to focus again, Erriss had her hands in shackles, placed too low on the wall to be able to stand comfortably. The violet pushed her to the floor. He leaned down and patted her cheek, a cruel grin on his face.]
A N=W TOY~! W=‘LL HAV= FUN TOG=TH=R, WON’T W=?

THIS IS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED WITHIN A FIC! GET READY CUZ IM ABOUT TO START RAMBLING ABOUT A LOT!!!
FOR STARTERS, AHHHHHHHHH THANKKKK YOUUUUU SOOOOOOOOOOO MUCHHHHHHHH I LOVEEEEDDDD EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!!!!!!!
I SEE YOU ADDED HUELLYYYYY!!! X3
ALSO I LOVE HOW LENA DROPPED A HINT BUT WEBBY WAS OBLIVIOUS BOTH TIMES! XD LIKE
“Exactly, Dewey cares about you..I just don’t understand why Louie cares for me..”
LIKE THAT WAS A BIG HINT WEBBY!! BUT I GUESS I CAN SEE WHY YOU DIDNT GET IT! YOU TWO ARE SO OBLIVIOUS!!!! XD
Ok so I wanted to talk about how I see how Louie deals with falling in love and etc,
So I’d say he’d fall for Lena in a very funny way, like we all know he flirts with anything really! XD So he probably tried flirting with her, not being ready for her to flirt BACK! This caused him to blush and not know why for a while!! Until he feels all weird inside! Like he’s normally the flirter, not the one who gets flirted with, so Lena caught him off guard, he didn’t see it coming!!!
Louie loves girls who play hard to get, and Lena is one to some extent, but Lena knows how to play hard to get RIGHT, to the point it drives him crazy, and he doesn’t know why, cause he isn’t used to being flirted back with! He wasn’t ready! Then when he realizes his feelings, I imagine you’ll be able to obviously tell if Louie is in love with someone, he’d be helpless in a way, like he would NOT flirt with Lena, he’d be more...scared around her I guess, not scared, but nervous I guess? Idk, well if Louie doesn’t flirt back with her, she’ll start realizing somethings up!
That’s just what I believe, Louie’s a complicated one! But that’s just if he’s in love, now if he liked someone, he’d try and flirt with them non stop! Ya see where I’m going with this?! XD Yeaaaa...
Huey: The nervous and jittery one, that tries to find books to understand what’s wrong with him and how to talk to Shelly(also terrible at flirting) talks about Shelly a lot, without even realizing. (Huey and Webby are kinda the same)
Dewey: The hopeless romantic, denial at first, is terrible at flirting, melts easily at her touch, laugh, giggle, literally anything. ONE BIG MESS, CLEAN UP A MELTED DEWEY ON AILE 4 PLZ! XD(his is my fav honestly) Suffers a LOT! Tries to distance himself BIG TIME! Gets lost to easily within her eyes when she tries talking to him, he has to always ask for her to repeat herself. Thinks about her too much for his ow health! She drives him crazy ok?! XD
Louie: Never has his guard up, doesn’t understand why, doesn’t flirt back or with if in love, (flirts if he just likes someone), obvious to Lena.
Webby: AS OBLIVOUS AS ADRIEN! (That’s all you need to know! XD) Is more giggly, blushy, and twirles her hair more. Gets TONS of butterflies to the point she could literally be 10 feet in the air. Talks about Dewey a lot around Lena!
Lena: She’s the hardest to decipher!!! It’s hard to tell when she likes someone, or in love! She’s a tough cookie! XD She hides her feelings better then the others! Tho she may let a few blushes slip! Flirts a bit. Plays hard to get! Ignores her feelings. Would ask why someone likes her and thinks they got their feeling mixed up. (While in love, she may secretly want to here comforting words, and wants to believe that she can be loved. But she’d never tell anyone, she has a reputation to keep)
Shelly: (tell me if I get this right) Tries to drops hints as much as she can! Gets annoyed at times with how oblivious Huey can be. Worries a lot with how Huey sees her. Tries not to be those jelouse types. Distance herself to cool down. Heart melts when Huey looks into her eyes. Faint blushes. Is embarrassed around him at times. She may love him, but GOSH he can be annoying! Wants to tell Huey that not everything is by the book, she should know! Is playful, wears his hats a lot, that’s her way of flirting. Another way is by fighting over something dumb, while she adds a flirty sass to it. Is even more sassy then Huey can be. Loves when Huey studders, gives her butterflies. Loves to tease Huey.
Don’t @ me, I’m a sucker for romance! XD @sophfandoms53 @debbigail-lover THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS THO SOPH!!!!!!💚💜💚💜
“Wanna go out sometime?” Louna plz?! X3
Louna Fic Time!!! I’m excited for this cuz this ship is growing.
Louie is 15 and Lena is 16!
-
She noticed the glances. The try-hard smirks. The slight blush. The nervous tapping on his phone screen. She noticed everything.
Lena wasn’t an idiot. She recognized all the signs from a mile away. Louie had a crush on her. It was obvious. It would be foolish for her not to noticed. Everyone noticed.
Something she didn’t understand, was why? Why did he have these feelings towards her? Why her? After everything she did. Why? She even consulted Webby on this for another opinion.
“Why wouldn’t he like you?” Webby asked innocently, sitting on her bed legs crossed.
Lena leaned back onto a desk, “I can think of a few reasons Webby..”
Webby smiled at her friend, “Okay so maybe you don’t have the best track record but.. none of that was your fault. Magica was the one who made you betray us. You had no control over your body. You can’t honestly think Louie would hold that against you, do you?”
Looking up Lena said, “Well.. his brother does… so why wouldn’t he..”
Webby jumped out her bed and walked over to Lena, “Dewey and Louie are two different guys, Lena. I’m not entirely sure why Dewey holds this grudge towards you but-”
“We both know why he holds it, Webby.” Lena said sternly.
She was right. Webby knew the reason… well.. part of the reason why Dewey held Lena’s actions in the past against her. “Okay well…. Dewey’s just protective of me is all.. he just wants to make sure I won’t get hurt again..”
“Exactly. Dewey cares about you..I just don’t understand why Louie cares for me..” Lena said.
Her best friend placed her hands on her shoulders, “Of course he does! Lena, you’re smart, beautiful, fun and you’re the coolest girl I know! But you’re also artistic and sensitive. That’s a side of you Louie has attached himself to. It’s a side you let him see. Lena trust me, Louie has every reason to care about you.”
“Should I do something about it?” Lena asked.
“Have anything in mind?” Webby asked.
Lena smirked, “I have one idea.”
Making her way downstairs and towards the living room, which is where Louie would be during the afternoon. Usually the couch was where he’d be but right now Lena noticed the couch was occupied by Huey and Shelly.
The duo, who became an official couple a few weeks ago, were cuddled up in a blanket on the couch, watching a movie and having a discussion over the movie’s merits.
“I just don’t think Steve Duckers should be against Tony Storks in regards to the accords. Tony is just trying to protect the citizens.” Huey said. (I’m subtle about this reference aren’t I lmao)
Shelly nodded against his chest, “I see your point but Steve is only against it because it doesn’t exactly help him and his friends. Especially Ducky Barnes. If he signs, the government controls them and wouldn’t that put the citizens in more danger?”
“I guess that makes sense..”Huey said.
“At least we can agree the addition of Spider-Man was great.” Shelly smirked.
Huey scoffed, “You’re only saying that ‘cause you think he’s cute.”
Shooting her head up, Shelly responded, “I am not. I mean yeah he’s cute but his motivations to protect people is admirable.” She then snatched Huey’s hat and placed it on her head, “A word that seems to be missing in your vocabulary.”
Huey smirked and chuckled. Wrapping his arms around her waist he held her closer to him, “Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say, Shelly.”
“It’s sickening how touchy they are huh?” A familiar voice spoke.
Lena looked over and saw Louie coming downstairs. She smirked, “Jealous much?”
“Of my older brother and his girlfriend? Ew no.” Louie smirked, “I mean I can’t be in any worse situation than Dewey.”
Chuckling, Lena nodded, “That’s true.” The duo began to walk towards the kitchen, “Ya think Dewey will ever tell Webby?”
Louie shrugged, hands in his pockets, “I hope so.. but knowing Dewey. Not likely.”
“Why not though? She’s Webby. And we’ve all seen how she is around him. Giggly, blushy, she even twirls her hair.” Lena said, “There’s no reason for him to worry.”
Louie began to blush lightly, “Maybe he doesn’t want to say anything because he doesn’t know for sure she feels the same…If that’s the reason I’d understand him..”
Opening the door to the kitchen Lena said, “How so?”
“Well-” Louie began but stopped when he saw Dewey sitting at the table, “Oh hey Dewey.”
Looking up from his book, Dewey greeted his brother, “Hey Louie. Uncle Donald left your pep in the fridge for you.”
Louie nodded, “Thanks. Uh Dewey.” He nudged his head in Lena’s direction, hinting to Dewey to greet her.
Blinking boredly, Dewey replied, “I see her. What’s your point?”
“Dude.” Louie said, “C’mon. Would you drop this already? She’s been back for years Dewey. Let it go.”
Dewey picked up his glass of water, “I’ll let it go, when she proves to me she’s changed. It’s called showing, not telling.”
Lena sighed. She really did try to prove how she isn’t that same person who Magica controlled. Everyone seemed to have trusted her again, Dewey being the only exception. And it sucked because she knew how he felt towards her best friend and she wanted to help him with Webby. But of course, he probably wouldn’t let her help.
Louie went to defend Lena again but she stopped him, “It’s alright Lou. I can handle Dewey disliking me for Webby’s sake. You know especially since he’s in love with her and everything.” She smirked, not exactly helping her case but she didn’t want Dewey knowing his attitude affected her.
Dewey rolled his eyes, “Bringing up my unrequited feelings for Webby, very smart.” He stood up and held everything in his hands, “You’re proving my point extremely well. Thanks. Good Luck Louie.” With that he walked out of the kitchen leaving the two by themselves.
“I’m so sorry about him, Lena. I really don’t understand why he won’t let that go.” Louie said taking his can of pep out of the fridge.
Lena sat on top of the counter, “It’s alright Louie. I understand where he’s coming from.. but still. I just wish he’d understand I’ve changed and I’m really trying to fix what I did..”
Louie’s eyes sparked up at Lena. He really felt for her. Having this image of herself that she’s trying to prove is true but his brother refuses to listen.
He walked over and placed a hand on Lena’s knee, “I believe you, Lena. I know you’ve changed. And if you need someone to talk to.. I… I’m here…”
Lena smiled and blushed from Louie’s physical content. She placed her hand on top of Louie’s, “Thanks, Louie.. I appreciate it.”
“Anytime.” Louie smiled softly, gripping her hand, “Hey Lena.. there’s something I-”
“Let me.” Lena said, “I think I know.”
“You.. you.. huh?” Louie said
“You like me. A lot. And you were afraid to tell me before because you weren’t sure if I’d feel the same back. Yeah I know.. you didn’t exactly hide it very well.”
Louie blushed deeply, “Uh.. well… umm.. Would.. Would you wanna go out sometime then?”
Brushing her fingers through his soft white locks Lena said,
“I’d love to.”
-
I hoped you liked this Izzy! So much fluff I think lmao. Anyway hope you enjoyed!!!
