25 years ago today, on January 23, 1984, Hulk Hogan defeated the Iron Sheik in Madison Square Garden to become the WWF World Champion.
Hulkamania was born today, and with it the modern era of sports entertainment.
Check out the match as Hogan squashes the Sheik in 6 minutes, brother.

Yes. Similar to how a judge bangs his gavel to silence the courtroom, the bell was rung to keep the crowd's attention and quiet them down for the remaining announcements.
Same thing happens in boxing...or at least it used to.
