VHS Gold! Tampa, Florida. The name of the place escapes me, maybe it was the rec center, but back then, it came alive at night, mostly filled with single airmen. During the day, though, it transformed into a more relaxed space where kids were allowed in to play pool and the games scattered throughout. Sometimes we’d arrive before the staff had finished cleaning up. Beer bottles and leftover utensils still littered the tables.

One day, spotting a lone beer bottle, we spontaneously filmed a comedy sketch, a playful parody of the old “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drink and Drive” PSA. Moments like that captured the spirit of our youth, carefree and full of laughter. Tampa History MacDill Air Force Base MacDill is Awesome

I was truly honored to be contacted by ABC Action News today regarding the Terry Gene Bollea (Hulk Hogan) content I shared. They asked to feature part of the collage I created in their evening news segment, and I was more than happy to contribute. Many thanks to ABC Action News for the opportunity, and for the kind credit.

RIP Terry Gene Bollea (Hulk Hogan)

Though I graduated from high school in Montgomery, Alabama, my journey began at Robinson High School in Tampa, Florida — a place I’ll always carry with me.

Today, I’m deeply saddened to learn of the passing of one of Robinson’s most iconic alumni, Terry Gene Bollea, known to the world as Hulk Hogan.

Terry was more than a global wrestling legend. He was a proud Robinson Knight whose larger-than-life presence started in our very own halls. His strength, charisma, and heart inspired millions, and brought a lasting sense of pride to our school community.

My thoughts and heartfelt condolences go out to his family, friends, and the countless fans who grew up watching and admiring him.

He will always be remembered not only as a champion in the ring, but as a legend in our hearts. 💙🖤

VHS Goldmine. Tampa, Florida (Macdill AFB)
David Wise on the phone with Billy Barnes, and Chris Lancia, better known as “Grady”, behind the camera. It was only the second day of 10th grade, and my phone was blowing up ! Everyone wanted to know: where was the crew meeting up this weekend?

The plan was classic, we’d start at Steve Guerra’s house, then roll out to Robinson High’s first football game of the season. After that? Who knows. Mischief was never far behind when our crew got together. Dave Kolcun and Robert Bravo were locked in for that weekend, no doubt about it.

The room you see in this footage is now just a memory. That house, which held some of the best moments of my youth, was torn down in 2013. But here, captured on VHS, is a piece of one of the greatest years of my life. A time when everything was simple, and the weekends held endless possibilities. Gen Z (and younger) this is how we communicated before everyone had smart phones and social media.

RIP Ozzy Osbourne (1948–2025)

A legend has taken his final bow.

On February 27, 1983, Ozzy lit up the Garrett Coliseum in Montgomery, Alabama, delivering a night of pure rock mayhem that fans would never forget. The images in this reel are from a local promo used to advertise that unforgettable show—a glimpse into a time when the Prince of Darkness was at the height of his power, and the music echoed through the South with thunderous force.

Rest easy, Ozzy. The stage may be dark, but your voice still roars through the memories. People The Ultimate '80s Page MTVLA MTV News MTV

RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner (1970–2025)
Gone too soon, but forever in our hearts.

Came across this forgotten gem, Malcolm in the Whodini video “Funky Beat.” It instantly transported me back to a time, when music videos weren’t just entertainment, they were everything.

I can still see it clearly: hanging out at Brian Vizzina’s house on Gladpark Drive in the Pecan Grove neighborhood of Montgomery, Alabama. We were glued to the TV, soaking in the rhythm and energy, when suddenly...“Hey, check it out! That’s Theo from The Cosby Show!” we shouted in excitement!

It’s funny how a single moment can bring back an entire era. Thank you, Malcolm, for being part of ours.

I included only the scenes with Malcom. Enjoy!
