It's A Happening charts the course of the WWF from the beginning of Hulkamania in 1984, through all its major shows, pay-per-views and network spectaculars.
Wrestling is awesome, but unlike other wrestling sites, this doesn't aim to dwell on all the bad aspects of the sport/industry/entertainment. There will be some critical sentences here and there, but mostly it will aim to recreate the joy, fun and sheer enjoyment that wrestling at its best can bring. Enjoy, and in the words of Gorilla Monsoon, please remember, "It's a happening..." |
