Precious Wrestling Memories: Pastamania Runs Wild at the Mall of America

At one point in history, Hulk Hogan was the proprietor of a pasta restaurant at the Mall of America. Watch as, in the same breath, he both extolls the virtues of Hulkaroos for growing young Hulkamaniacs, while promising to feed opponent Big Bubba a bowl as though it's a punishment.

Also: pasta keeps you slim!

Fun fact, the official Pastamania storefront awning survived the restaurant's demise and lived on the back of a warehouse in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood in Minneapolis for several years. I used to ride bike past it to work every day, the memory of Hulkaroos giving me the energy to make it through the work day.
