Thought we would mix it up a bit for this post and review a programme. In the spotlight today is the Summer Tour 1993 Official Souvenir Programme. This was a European tour that covered Austria, Germany and the United Kingdom. Also interesting to note, considering what a big presence he had in the programme, was that this was Hulk Hogan's last European tour before leaving for WCW.
This post will not be as text heavy as a magazine review as I'm sure you can understand but what we will be doing is listing the superstars contained and how much space they were allocated in the programme with a few pictures along the way.
First up is an open letter to the fans from Jack Tunney along side an advert for Silver Vision's newest releases.
On the following two pages we have our first superstar which is, of course, Hulk Hogan. The text on all of these pages is written in both English and German.
Next up is Yokozuna, another two page spread with pictures and text.
Following Yokozuna is Hacksaw Jim Duggan, another two page spread featuring text and pictures.
Crush follows Hacksaw with a two page spread, again featuring text and pictures.
After Crush we have The Steiner Brothers, again, text and pictures on two pages. The Head Shrinkers have the same, two page spread with text and pictures.
The centre pages are focused on Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania. These pages feature a series of photos of Hulk Hogan in and out of ring with and without fans. A sentence accompanies each photo.
After the centre pages we move on to the one page superstars.
Up first is Tatanka with Bam Bam Bigelow on the opposite page, both with text and one additional picture each along with the main picture.
Papa Shango sits to the right of an advert for the Royal Rumble video game. Again, he has text and one additional picture, same as the picture above.
El Matador sits opposite two adverts. One for badges and one for t-shirts.
El Matador also has text and one additional picture.
Next up is Predator ( Horace Hogan, nephew of Hulk Hogan) with, as you can see, text and one additional photo on a one page spread.
Bastian Booger follows Predator with, you've got it, text and one additional photo.
Terrific Terry Taylor and Brutus 'The Barber' Beefcake are next. Both with text but Brutus does not have an additional photo.
The last two pages hold adverts.
Back page is a German advert for WWF Magazine.
