MicalJakson Favorite Person

Michael Jackson was indeed a WWE fan. The argument was made that Jackson was ilrelevant to wrestling. I think the following only validates the connection to Jackson and WWE, not to mention the fact that I believe Jackson had a such an impact on pop culture in the 80's that it effected and helped WWF around the same time. Michael Jackson revolutionalized music video's and combined visual and musical art together. During that time in the early to mid 80's you began to see wrestlers start to use theme music. One of the first was Kerry Von Erich using Rush's "Tom Sawyer". Hulk Hogan began using "Eye Of the Tiger" in 1985 WWF debuted it's first wrestling album. And of course who can forget WWF and MTV partnership which created such fued's as Roddy Pipper and Hulk Hogan and Wendi Richter with Cyndi Lauper by her side. It's incomprehensible for me how anyone could not see the direct connections between Jackson's impact on pop culture and MTV and WWF's rise to national level promonice and pop culture frenzy in the mid 80's. In my opinion Jackson clearly paved the way for a larger then life show that wrestling quickly saw and joined during this 1980's visual art revolution. Jackson made mini movies/video's the norm. Please then tell me how "Piledriver" the video is not a direct effect of Jackson's pop culture influence.
