Weekend Retrospective: The night Andy Warhol crashed Hulk Hogan's locker room

The date: February 18, 1985. The place: New York, NY, at the Garden. The era: the dawn of professional wrestling's golden age. Spearheaded by the "Rock N' Wrestling" promotional campaign, the lead up to the first Wrestlemania (which would take place the following month) saw Vince McMahon and the then-named WWF put on the show The War to Settle the Score. The main event that night saw Hulk Hogan successfully retaining his WWF championship over the hated heel Rowdy Roddy Piper. After the match the locker room was a joyous place, as you can see. Cyndi Lauper, Captain Lou Albano, Mr. T, they were all in the back for the festivities - but amid all the chaos that evening Mene Gene Okerlund happens to find an unexpected interloper: pop art icon Andy Warhol. He's "it's so exciting," Andy "doesn't know what to say." via WBE
