“Upon the examination of the Galaxies of Space, images begin to appear. Images of strange and powerful forces.

But of all the forces of the Universe, The Two Most Powerful, Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior, prepare to explode.

Champion versus champion. Title for title. It’s the Ultimate Challenge. IT’S WRESTLEMANIA!.”

– Vince McMahon’s Intro to WrestleMania VI

If you were a wrestling fan between the ages of 5 and 12 in the year 1990, you probably loved the idea of Hulk Hogan v. The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI. I talk to so many wrestling fans each week, and while nobody ever says, “WrestleMania VI was my favorite,” I do notice that everyone has a lot to say when I  bring it up. Nostalgia at it’s best.While I understand it might be a newsworthy week in the world of Professional Wrestling, I have taken the week off from reporting and recording the current news. It’s important to take a break, recharge the batteries, and come back with fresh and exciting ideas. That’s my aspiration for this quick step away.

We’re coming up on the 50th issue of the Body Slam Brigade Newsletter. If you’ve been here from the beginning, thank you so much. You will already have seen this weekly letter evolve a few times. If you’ve recently joined me, welcome aboard! I’m glad your here!

Whether you’re an old friend or a new face, I’ll let you know now that I’m going to make some big format, frequency, and content improvements to celebrate the 50th issue.

As mentioned though, I’m out of town this week. I did release five awesome shows celebrating some great WrestleMania Events from years gone by. I hope you watch or listen to at least one. We had so much fun putting them together, so I hope you like them.

For your convenience, I linked all five You Tube Videos below. If you want the apple or Spotify versions, click the associated icons above this block.

I’m curious to know your favorite WrestleMania. Send me an email at [email protected] and let me know. I will do a show on whatever the most loved WrestleMania ends up being!
