How much did the average fan know about Hulk Hogan in the 1980s? They knew about the training, the prayers, and the vitamins, and Venice Beach, and the 24" pythons....and not much else.

These days, one can learn everything about one's favourite wrestler with a few clicks, and any details not available can sometimes spill from the wrestler's own mouth (or keyboard, as it were.) Now you can know your favourite wrestlers' shirt size, favourite colour, and preferred brand of beer because of the connectivity of social media.
