TRL Moment of the Week
Bam Margera on the show yesterday. He brought his uncle Vito with him, whom we planted outside to run a lemonade stand. As I'm heading outside in the middle of the show with Bam and Damien to do a segment at the stand, who happens to be walking in at the same time? Hulk Hogan and his family, here to meet with VH1 about his reality show, Hogan Knows Best. Bam, Damien, and I all introduce ourselves, shake his hand, and as Bam and Damien walk away, the segment producer and I ask Hulk if he wants to be on the show. Surprisingly, he says yes without hesitation. So we bring him outside, where Bam unleashes him to beat up his uncle as payback for his uncle having destroyed his Hummer. Definitely a Moment of the Year-worthy clip for next year's TRL Awards..

I haven't watched a wrestling match in at least 12 years, but Hulkamania and his 24-inch pythons were such a huge part of my formative years that he still merits freakout status. And this means that in a 6-week span, I have had two freakout-worthy encounters: Hulk Fuckin' Hogan and David Fuckin' Bowie. Who's next? Bill Fuckin' Murray? Don Fuckin' Mattingly? Brian Fuckin' Wilson? I'll keep you posted.

Hulk Hogan merits freakout status? Really?! Heilige Scheiße, werden Sie leicht beeindruckt.

This coming from the guy who creams his pants when he gets an e-mail from Mr. Random Washed-Up Punk-Rock Bum... that's rich.
