Warrior Wisdom Fridays Interlude: Mega Powers Meditation
October 9, 2009 | Posted by Chris Sims
As a service to our readership, each installment of Warrior Wisdom Fridays will provide an inspirational (and actual) quote from the Ultimate Warrior so that those who read it may take it to heart and reflect on how it may improve their lives. On occasion, however, we wish to broaden our scope to include alternate viewpoints, such as those of the Mega Powers. The differences and similarities of these philosophies should be considered carefully, so that each reader may arrive to his or her own personal Truth through meditation accompanied by strong tea or softly played music of Jimmy Hart.

I am now centered and at peace, brother!
That’s right, brother! All the good little Hulkamaniacs are taking their vitamins and saying their prayers, man! Those are words to live by from America’s Greatest Philosopher, brother! Whatcha gonna do?! When the twenty-four inch zen koans run wild all over you?!
It bares mentioning that the background photograph was taken at the precise moment to best capture what experts call “wide eyed insanity”.
I hope for/look forward to Snake Wisdom Saturdays.
(short ride bad landing/my favorite little pet/was a little fun)
I just saw a promo for a semi-local news station’s high school sports coverage that featured Jimmy Hart.
I have no idea why.
IS this also an accurate description of DC/Marvel crossovers?
Or at least Kool-Aid Man versus OMAC.
I saw Jimmy Hart on my local news program the other week too.
BTW, is the Madness being referred to in the above meditation, in fact, Macho Madness? You know, the one true religion?
He is in fact referring to the words of the Macho King of Macho Kings, Randy Savage.
Hence the mega-tagteam “The Superpowers” had a relatively short life – the Hulkster and the Macho Man wisely broke the partnership up before they went critical and China Syndromed the continental USA
Hogan’s promos were the best. The one right before Wrestlemania V is one of my favorites, where he goes up against Andre the Giant, is all about him slamming Andre through the Trump Tower, and cracking off the fault line from New York down to Tampa, destroying a huge swath of the East Coast Galactus style, and how Donald Trump is a Hulkamaniac. He alternates between crying and mania in that interview, while Mean Gene holds the microphone up to him, with a barely held in laugh on his face.
You know, if WWII had occurred in the 80s, that guy would have been our Captain America.
(I’m not sure who the Red Skull would have been. Either Billy Idol or that kid who played Urkel.)
Vanhelsin, it’s lucky for Donald Trump he IS a Hulkamaniac! That way, he’ll know to let go of his material posessions when the Hulkpocalypse is unleashed, brother! And Andre the Giant, you may be nine and a half feet tall, brother, and 1250 pounds, but when the power of all the little Hulkamaniacs across the land flows through their television sets and into the Pontiac Silverdome, brother, and crystallizes inside the twenty-four inch pythons like backwards Raiders of the Lost Ark, brother, there’s no force on Earth that can stand against it!! WHATCHA GONNA DO?!
No, but seriously? I used to love Hulk Hogan.
I remember watching the broadcast that kicked off the whole “MegaPowers” thing. I went from marking out like the prepubescent kid I was, to feeling the whole thing was just weird and overdone, and then back again, and so on.
Ah, the memories of youth.
That promo about Hogan destorying the eastern seaboard was totally at Wrestlemania IV. As a wrestling blogger, it’s my duty by law to point that kind of shit out.
I also fully endorse more words of wisdom from ’80s WWF Superstars. I think Honky Tonk Man might have a lot to teach us about succeeding through cowardice and intentional disqualification.
My mistake. I knew that the Hulk Hogan/Andrew the Giant feud went on for a year, but I was not sure which Wrestlemania it was from.
“Well you know, Mean Gene…” is to Hulk Hogan what “Good news, everyone!” is to Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth. Everything that follows it is in the voice of the Hulkster and there isn’t much you can do about it.
So, apparently Hogan also went through a “cosmic power” phase in his philosophy. This is an avenue that Hoganologists don’t explore as often as they should.
vanhelsin: I picture Andrew the Giant to be an entirely different character. Possibly someone who wears a sweater all the time and speaks with a nice scottish burr.
Those 1:45 AM posts will create new characters, I tell you!
