Drop Kickin' It Old School Review

Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling ... the animated saga continues in vol. 2.

Two episodes...

AMAZONS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN: A blatant reference to Cindy Lauper in the title. The gang (faces) are en route when their plane has problems and lands in the Amazon. They are eventually captured by a group of Amazons who, stranegly enough, resemble each of the WWF wrestlers. Hogan's counterpart even wears a title belt of some sort. Which, brings us to two points: (1) in this show, Hogan always wore his title belt and (2) cartoon Hogan had much more hair. The wrestlers befriend the Amazons and go on to defeat some treasure hunters. Evil treasure hunters at that. No Chyna in sight.

THE WRONG STUFF: The Government goes to the wrestler's club house with an emergency situation. "Uncle Sam" wants the wrestlers to go into the space program. Upon arrival at space camp, we find Piper's group was also recruited. Hoagn (of course) and Nikolai Volkoff win the competition and go into space. Since when did Volkoff win anything? Anyway, despite Piper and Shiek attempting to foil Hogan's space launch, the American and Russian manage to become heroes. How about "The Bad Stuff" as a title?

Typically bad cartoons, even for nostaligia's sake. These are truly hard to watch.
