TROY.

preface - diggedy, if you are going to answer this blog, you are limited to two items. i know you could go on for days and days.

but today on Wex Wednesdays, we're going to talk about the top things you miss from the 80's. it could be a TV show (shout out to the now retired Bob Barker, who really hit his stride in the 80's), a popular toy, a movie, a car, etc. what was your shit in the 80's?

for me, it was:

1) The WWF (1985-1989). classic good versus evil battles. and yo, i've been in an old wrestling kick lately, where i've found myself a) displaying my kindergarden WWF lunch box in my apt, b) netflixing the first three wrestlemanias, and c) buying the VHS (!!!) documentary on Bret Hart. as you can tell, my girlfriend is VERY happy about this.
2) Transformers - the cartoon & action figures. and i'm not gonna lie, i'm kinda amped for the new movie. it's weird how some classic things never go out of style. my 4 year old nephew sleeps with his metal Optimus Prime every night - no matter how uncomfortable that may be.
3) Nintendo (NES!). i still have mine. still have mad games. still play them once in a while. what what.
4) Football/Basketball/Baseball cards & comics. i just went down to south florida (where i'm from) and went up to my pop's attic to go thru all of this stuff. i found all sorts of gems that i had forgot about. i found my 1989 score football factory set! is that even worth anything? mad rookies in that box.
5) Mr. T. without a doubt, one of the GOAT's of the 80's. i needed me some A-Team when i got home from school. as a sidenote, T can also be connected to some of my other fav things - like 80's WWF... and Conan O'Brien (he's had some recent brilliant skits on Conan).

hopefully digs and i will see some of you tonight at Angels and Kings.
