Division Street
coltras3531 March 2024
To help stop gang-related activities, Walker and Boomer Knight (Hulk Hogan) organize basketball tournaments amongst a group of rival gang members. When Boomer convinces the kids to stop working for a local drug dealer (Chaka Forman), the dealer takes his revenge by kidnapping Boomer. Now, Walker embarks on a manhunt to rescue Boomer and put an end to the drug dealer's reign.

Hulk Hogan acts well in this episode that is trying to do some public service - deter kids from joining gangs and going down a violent path. The series was known for doing such episodes, and though it's simple, maybe a little naive, its message is clear in trying to deter kids and show that they could put their energies in better things like basketball- it's well written and engaging.

A good dose of spirituality and Peace

This was a very well done episode. What it may have lacked in action, it made up for in Spirituality. Hulk Hogan plays Boomer Mcknight, a former gang banger who's been out of prison for 10 years. He opens a community center that helps to keep young people from joining gangs. Throughout the episode his center is broken into by a gang and a drug dealer who tear up things and spray paint graffiti on the benches. Boomer teaches Christian teaching which is that violence only leads to more violence and also peace. In one scene he confronts a group of young people with former inmates who tell them that if they go to jail their seen as nothing more than "fresh meat". At the end Boomer is kidnapped by the drug dealer who starts to hang him. Just then the two gangs, The guardians and the Blades attack the henchman and save him. They then start to hang the drug dealer until Boomer reminds them that they would go to jail for murder. I enjoyed the fact that they showed the reasons not to join a gang and didn't glamorize them as most TV does today. Bravo to this series for trying to deter youngsters from joining gangs.
