SHOW SUMMARY: In this edition of the Wade Keller Hotline, PWTorch editor Wade Keller continues his series on Hulk Hogan with various topics and cohosts. This is the second of a two-part conversation with pro wrestling historian George Schire, a former cohost of the “Pro Wrestling Focus” radio show from KFAN in the early 1990s.

This theme focuses on the influence of Hulk Hogan in the AWA and conjecture of what it would have taken for the AWA to keep him, a look at what the AWA did to try to patch together a roster that could draw after Hogan left, how long-time fans of that era reacted to someone as different as Hogan was from previous top babyface acts, was Verne a savvy enough promoter to be the victor in a national expansion war, how influential “Superstar” Billy Graham was to Hogan’s character, the circumstances of Hogan’s departure and whether the AWA deceived fans with dates Hogan was advertised for but wasn’t going to make, and more.

Part one of this podcast with George was published yesterday.

SHOW SUMMARY: In this edition of the Wade Keller Hotline, PWTorch editor Wade Keller continues his series on Hulk Hogan with various topics and cohosts. This is the first of a two-part conversation with pro wrestling historian George Schire, a former cohost of the “Pro Wrestling Focus” radio show from KFAN in the early 1990s.

This theme focuses on Hulk Hogan’s breakout years from 1981 to 1983 in the AWA when he was brought in as a heel, but was turned babyface by the fans who cheered him and ushered in a new era of what defined a modern babyface main event act. This includes insights from that era, including George’s many conversations with many wrestlers from that time period who worked with Hogan. They chronicle Hogan’s rise in the AWA, disputes with promoter Verne Gagne, Japan commitments complicating things, who helped hone Hogan’s overall promo skills and babyface act, theories on what would have happened had Hogan stayed in the AWA and not signed with the WWF in 1983, and much more.

This is part one and part two will be published tomorrow.
