Well that's just real fuckin' great.

If there's anything more American 80s than Hulkamania + Gene Okerlund, I've not seen it.

He is one of the few non wrestlers I remember from when I watched WCW in the 90s. Sad.

I moved away from wrestling during the Hulkamania/NBC days and never came back.

To me, Mean Gene was the flagship of the Verne Gagne Minneapolis enterprise in the 70s and early 80s. In the days before cable TV, at least in my parents' household, Gene and Bob Luce were the staples of my Sunday morning, heartily endorsed by my grandmother (who was an avid watcher and introduced it to me) before she passed in the mid-70s.

Bernstein says he had to do a google search to figure out who Mean Gene was.

HawaiiBernsie. I'm not even a WWF/E fan and I knew who Mean Gene was.

He came over from AWA to WWF and it was never looking back. He was just as important as Hogan was to bring Pro Wrestling to the top! RIP.

Yep! Bob Luce and Yukon Moose Cholak (Big Fella). Great memories watching that stuff with my pops. Remember they would end the broadcasts singing...
