'People have a hard time separating the character from the person' Hulk Hogan is the king of that, he truly believes the hype around Hulk Hogan so much that he's forgotten he's actually Terry Bollea
I'm probably a few years older than you because Bob Backlund was the first "good guy" I connected to. the a couple years later Skaland threw on the towel when the Sheik had Backlund in the camel clutch. after that it was Hogan all the way. actually, it wasn't until about 5yrs ago that I finally saw some of Hogan's japan matches. holy crap! what a difference in match style. some of the moves I saw him do I never saw him do once while in the AWA, WWF or WCW. I know he was told at least by Gagne to only wrestle 'big man' style matches while in the states. I have to assume Vince told him the same and I assume at some point his body couldn't perform a Japanese style match anymore. had the pleasure of seeing Hogan wrestle Rick Rude at the Boston gardens once. I saw him on CCTV at Wrestlemania from the Boston gardens and one Monday Nitro match from the Boston gardens. can't recall the date on that one. I do miss going to the house shows back in the 80's. they were fun and it's often unpredictable. sorry. I realize you didn't ask for my wrestling history autobiography.
If you weren't there you have no idea, none, you know who else was my favorite wrestler? Ultimate Warrior, you know why? Because I didn't give a shit that he would blow up before the match, he was entertaining, you know what's not? A freaking Circus de Soleil performance where dude knock each other out without even touching each other, the rating prove that.. 90million people watched Hogan and Andre on SNME ,now your a hit if you get 2million...because it's not entertaining, kids don't watch it, that is the demo that used to be the most important, now..just a bunch of 30 year old dudes. So my point, if you weren't there, shut up and let the grown ups talk😊
I'm 48, I was there, I saw a larger than life American superhero. I was emotionally invested in the character of Hulk hogan. The CHARACTER not the man, you know why? because I didn't know him. Meltzermarks read this dudes shit like it's gospel....it's an opinion. Hulk Hogan changed the industry, that is a fact, Dave Melzer has ruined it.
A lot of hate on Hogan, I get that he is kind of a clown in today’s industry BUT none of the guys or gals would be where they are without him, certainly the business would not be what it is today
Its not hate on hogan....it hate on the constant and obvious lies he constantly spews...he has lied so much now that he himself cant remember what is true and what is a lie to the extent he has even contradicted himself on several occasions...for example he had several interviews on tv about his wrestlemania match with Andre the giant and when asked hpw much did Andre weigh he has said anywhere from 500lbs to 800lbs.he also publicly said that Lars Ulrich from Metalica asked him to try out for the band and when lars heard about it he publicly stated he does NOT know hogan,he has NEVER met hogan,he NEVER asked hogan to try out for them and that it NEVER happened....
Hogan defeated Thanos by getting all the rings and snapping him out of existence. Then he went into the multiverse and wrestled 3030307283 hours in a row in different universes
B 2:08 Bishoff has a great point on kayfabe just totally being gone now. They have these type of shows, who help break down those kayfabe walls. I think it's sad that part of kayfabe is gone forever. The new age of phones everywhere just changed everything. Now wrestling is all about shows being done, and these type of outlets, channels, that break down all the kayfabe. Everyone wants that time to explain what really went down. I liked it better when we had to use our imagination to fill in the details we don't see.

Wow at WM9 Hogan looked amazingly good for a guy that took a jet ski to the face, was unconscious in the water, had to be taken to the ER and almost lost his eye. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Well people can hate on Hogan all they want, but wrestling would have NEVER become what it did in the early 80s and on, without him. Yes Vince was the one who put an end to the territory days, but he needed Hogan as his front man & face of the company to do it. Vince has done interviews where he’s said that it wouldn’t have worked without Hogan. At the end of the day, he’s just a person & has his flaws as we all do. So the first person who has NEVER told a lie, embellished a story, or never done anything wrong in their entire lives, go ahead & raise your hand…
@@RG-lr4pk There is no union due to Hogan turned in Jesse Ventura who was trying to organize the guys. Jesse has told this story many times, Ventura was future endeavored shortly after.
Hulk Hogan was done in WCW before The NWO. If it weren't for Kevin Nash and Scott Hall, wich they were the coolest wrestler in WCW at that time, Hulk Hogan would have banished from wrestling. He ride a free wave thanks to The Outsiders shadows. 4:34
You don’t get to be the biggest name in any business or field without being a bit selfish at times. But like it or not EVERYONE knows who Hulk Hogan is. He is elvis level famous.
I used to live in Tampa. You could literally bump into almost any wrestler at any given moment. I’ve gotten multiple pictures and autographs from several of them with the exception of hulk hogan. This wasn’t an instance that he was with his family or trying to stay low key and private. It was at a place of business. I approached him and asked for a picture and he said “I don’t flick bitch”. So I guess when bischoff says he’ll go out of his way to make that person feel special it must be when all eyes are on him and he has to put on the show.
I don't flick? That doesn't sound like him but you could have caught him on a bad day . Even in 2000, Bret wrote Hogan used to stay for hours signing autographs
After careful consideration, I can actually see Hogan saying something like this. If you've ever heard him on Bubba's show(which blows my mind considering the guy secretly taped him banging his wife...I guess weirdos stick together) he likes to talk like a teenager from the late 90s. Saying things like "shi-zit"(shit) and "gri-zeen"(green) the guy is a "di-zouche bi-zag". But I am surprised he called you a bitch without being provoked.
Al seems to have found the secret to the universe's most unique voice modulation, morphing his words into a vibrato that would make a synthesizer jealous.
HOGAN is WRESTLING!! Like it or not. He is the SUPERMAN or SPIDERMAN of the WRESTLING industry. Watch him in Japan. He could wrestle. He put asse's on seats for years and years.
I think Al talks a lot of sense but didn’t Austin’s move set diminish more with his neck injury, which did help the Stone Cold persona, but he did have to modify what he could and couldn’t do in the ring mainly due to the injury
At the end of the day Bobby Heenan said it best. The only people that hate Hogan are the ones that never were able to make money with working with him.
@RG-lr4pk yes. Some guys that never made money working with him couldn't work with him because of his politics he'd pull backstage. Specifically the 2 you mentioned. He did bring wrestling into the spotlight on the 80s but at the end of the day he's a liar and a backstabber
@vibdictiveraider or the people he held down with politics; or black people; or the family of the poor guy his son hurt in the car crash; the list goes on
It's SO FUNNY about people "in the closet" about their love of professional wrestling. There have been many a times WHERE I AM DISCUSSING WRESTLING and a boss or person you look up to goes "you watch that crap" and you immediately go "when I was a kid..." hahaaha.
@@KKFWB Vince and Hulk made wrestling far more popular. It was making more money because it was more popular. I used to watch a cartoon that Hogan and other wrestlers were in.
There’s wrestlers who did everything Hulk Hogan’s been accused of doing with the “backstage politics”, and they’re praised by people like Jim Cornette for “protecting their spot”. Look at Steve Austin leaving WWE, and breaching his contract over “creative differences”. But because the smarks don’t like Hogan, they make him out to be this self serving manipulator, who spent his entire career steamrolling people. Even The Rock is guilty of this outside of wrestling. He stars Black Adam, which is a Captain Marvel/Shazam villain. Despite a Shazam movie coming out a few years before, he fights to have any and all connections with that film removed. Instead, he wants to tease a fight with Superman, as he’s the “bigger draw”.
Sooo, basically, Hogan was in pain just like every other wrestler. Hogan got divorced (his own fault by the way) just like every other wrestler. The only difference between him and other wrestlers is Hogan was so self-serving he sucked dry not one but two wrestling businesses. Hogan famously used and abused his power to the detriment of several wrestlers. It’s to the point everyone has lost count of how many wrestlers Hogan has used and abused. Yes, he changed the business. However, he has done so many negative things that the bad outshines the good.
I disagree. There are a lot of wrestlers that have done a lot of bad things, Chris Benoit, Steve Austin, Jimmy Snucka, Ric Flair, Jake the Snake, X-Pac etc... People hated him because of success, and trust me, they would trade sets with him in a heartbeat and probably do a lot worse than he did.
CM Punk burying a guy he has never worked with, never met, doesn't know, never outdrew (lol, that's not even a fair comparison) AND a guy without whom CM Punk probably wouldn't exist and Phil Brooks would be flipping burgers or bagging groceries today.
Eric bishoff is a pretty good guy to do what he did for Hogan. Brett Hart called him a maggot but he talked about being a hero to kids to look up to but he partied on the road cheated on his wife right there is enough not make you a hero for kids. Good teaching Brett
Eric is a maggot and every wrestler from the 70s and 80s were known for partying and cheating on their wife's bret (one t in his name btw) was one of the minor offenders why do you think vince put the wwf world title belt on bret during the steroid scandal, hulk was a well known supplier of steroids and other drugs, bret admits everything he has ever done openly, hulk on the other hand makes up stories on a daily basis 😂
Like Brtty never cheated on his wife ? Lol. And I'm sure Brett must of had a drink or 2 whilst on the road, especially on a SUNNY DAY ? Brett is 1 of my all time favourite wrestlers.. He's 'The Excellence Of Execution", but like Terry he ain't no saint.
Me too a different generation... where I was ok with warrior beating hulk... kinda the equivalent when stone cold vs the rock... but I'll stick with the wwf era those years were the best
Hogan is by far the most important wrestler of all time and to this day is still the one who fascinates the public the most which is why we still see so many shoot videos about him and so many people who weren't even born when he was in his prime talking (often ignorantly) about him. A great wrestler is one who draws money like Al Snow said. But in addition, to be the very best ever, a wrestler has to have longevity and be know mainstream. Austin made money, but he didn't have anything like Hulks longevity and wasn't anywhere near as famous to a mainstream audience. Rock was known mainstream, but his wrestling career was nowhere near as long and successful as Hulks. Rock was more successful as an actor, but as a wrestler, he didn't have a career nearly as big as Hulks. Flair had the longevity but wasn't nearly as mainstream famous. Hogan had a career that spanned from wrestling thee most famous guys in the business as far back as Inoki and Andre. Then onto Macho Man for probably the greatest long term story in wrestling history which grew from before Mania 3 with Andre to Mania 4 and the formation of the Mega Powers to feud with Andre and Dibiase, then up to the eventual explosion and main eventing Mania 5 together. A truly groundbreaking feud and story told perfectly by all involved. From his Rocky 3 appearance, to his crossover with the MTV audience to having his own cartoon and starring in movies before anyone else did it, he really was far bigger than anyone we have seen before or since. Into the 90s, he then feuds with Flair and Undertaker. Headlines almost an entire decade of Wrestlemania from 1 to 9 and then joins WCW and puts that company on top with the NWO and heel character. Again wrestling more legends of another generation like Sting and Goldberg. After WCW he returns to have the Rock match at Mania. The match between the 2 biggest box office stars ever. And goes on to wrestle guys like Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle or HHH, Vince himself, HBK and Randy Orton in his later years. Who else has wrestled such big names as Antonio Inoki and Andre the Giant, Ric Flair and Randy Savage, The Rock and The Undertaker, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Such big names over such a long spell whilst becoming so big that they are known mainstream, worldwide, starring in movies, being a cartoon and still getting talked about regularly 45 years after the began wrestling? I didn't know who John Cena was when I stopped watching wrestling for a long spell. Why? Because he wasn't able to become so famous that I, as a then non wrestling fan, knew who he was. I don't think I know a single person over the age of 20 who wouldn't know who Hulk Hogan is. There has never been anyone in the entire industry who has been as much of a box office draw as Hogan has. And I say all this as someone who as a child ALWAYS wanted him to lose. He was the first wrestler I ever heard of. I didn't even see wrestling till I was 7, but somehow I knew who he was before starting school at 5. I don't know how that was possible. All other wrestlers rank below Hulk in the great pyramid of wrestling. There's the Hulkster ... Then there's everybody else. BROTHER
The thing with Hogan he has has so much success he was one of the guys who brought wrestling business into the mainstream why does he have to lie it baffles me he literally has no reason to people would gladly hear about his time in the industry with awe but why does he have to lie
I have always liked and respected Eric. When I hear people shoot hard on him, I always write it off as pure jealousy. If you noticed though..people like Disco Inferno and others that did not get main event pushes, they always say he was fair! You cannot push everyone to the moon!
Really, that's why wcw went under, his mismanagement of salaries, and Hogan creative control, they had to s of talent and Hogan ego always had to be the face, aging stars Maineventing was not good business. Same story lines
I'm no Hogan fan, BUT everyone says to beat WWF---they HAD TO GET HOGAN! HOGAN wasn't going to come unless he had the deals in place----and overall, Eric wins with those big salaries---for 83 weeks he wins-----until Russo comes in and puts Jay Leno and David Arquette and himself as champion and makes a mockery out f the business...and if you listen to all the xperts shoot-----whomever came up with Godlberg LOSING should be fired----but whomever green lit it---worse. Im just saying---taking on the WWF is not an easy chore ----but Eric did beat them....regarrdless of whether you love him or hate him or love to hate him@@USABRANDED1776 d

Hogan is a Carney, I don't think people understand how legend worked back in the day, you had to lvie it. he will insert himself into any story, make owt up. You don't have to like him, but its helpful understanding him. Also he is probably better at his job than your favourite wrestler,. he defo is over mine
You can say what you want about the dude, but you cannot deny the fact that his is the most popular PROFESIONAL wrestler in the history of the business 90million people man..
Um..... Tom Cruise is actually a licensed pilot rated for small single engine up to commercial airlines up to military aircraft thats what he does for kicks he has dozens of licenses
I disagree with Eric Bischoff. Just because you are depressed, at your lowest point or whatever, you don't say all of a sudden racist things. Your self-control might be lower, because you're down without much energy, etc. but if you're starting to shit out discriminating stuff out of your mouth, you had that already in yourself.

to me it kinda to me sounded like Sullivan is hinting it was his idea just the way said Nash is a good soldier
Actually im pretty sure Tom Cruise can fly those combat jets in real life.
Tom cruise actually can fly a fighter jet
1:06 Cruise flies fighter jets on a daily basis sometimes....and he does his own stunts....sh!t that Mick Foley might think twice about.
nicely articulated.
Eric bishoff is a pretty good guy to do what he did for Hogan. Brett Hart called him a maggot but he talked about being a hero to kids to look up to but he partied on the road cheated on his wife right there is enough not make you a hero for kids. Good teaching Brett
Eric is a maggot and every wrestler from the 70s and 80s were known for partying and cheating on their wife's bret (one t in his name btw) was one of the minor offenders why do you think vince put the wwf world title belt on bret during the steroid scandal, hulk was a well known supplier of steroids and other drugs, bret admits everything he has ever done openly, hulk on the other hand makes up stories on a daily basis 😂
Like Brtty never cheated on his wife ? Lol. And I'm sure Brett must of had a drink or 2 whilst on the road, especially on a SUNNY DAY ?
Brett is 1 of my all time favourite wrestlers.. He's 'The Excellence Of Execution", but like Terry he ain't no saint.
Al Snow's voice gave me a headache
Couldn’t listen to the guy who starts talking at the 13:26 mark because he sound like a robot.
After all these years Beefcake is still selling for Hogan. Any true wrestling fan knows how he really got that black eye.
I don’t give a fuck what he’s said, what he’s done, or what he’s lied about, I’m a Hulk Hogan fan and always will be.
Um, Tom Cruise knows how to fly a fighter jet. That's exactly why people loved Top Gun 2.
No. He knows how to fly jets, but civilians aren’t allowed to fly military aircraft, so no, he can’t fly one.
@@JohnDoe-zr8pc he owns several genius.
@@thefunshow2024 Proof?
Like it or not, without Hogan, wrestling ends in the 80's.
Hogan might be nice and kind but lies his ass off 😂
We gotta get this thing back on track. It's time to stop playing hide the ball, pop the weasel, package the taco.
Getting people's attention - "your job is not to just go out there and be a great wrestler" = everything wrong with AEW in a nutshell
NOBODY Has Ever or Will Ever Cut Better Promos Than Hollywood Hogan...NOBODY
The rock, stone cold Steve Austin, roddy piper, mankind and ric flair there's five
I agree 💯!! Hollywood Hogan 4life!!
I have been a hulk hogan fan since 1985. I am still a Hulk Hogan fan right now.
Good for you , he's still a asshole
@@vampirascoffin870So? You probably are too.
Me too a different generation... where I was ok with warrior beating hulk... kinda the equivalent when stone cold vs the rock... but I'll stick with the wwf era those years were the best

Great podcast pertaining to the views of Hulk Hogan
Who the hell is Hole Kogin?
Hogan is by far the most important wrestler of all time and to this day is still the one who fascinates the public the most which is why we still see so many shoot videos about him and so many people who weren't even born when he was in his prime talking (often ignorantly) about him. A great wrestler is one who draws money like Al Snow said. But in addition, to be the very best ever, a wrestler has to have longevity and be know mainstream. Austin made money, but he didn't have anything like Hulks longevity and wasn't anywhere near as famous to a mainstream audience. Rock was known mainstream, but his wrestling career was nowhere near as long and successful as Hulks. Rock was more successful as an actor, but as a wrestler, he didn't have a career nearly as big as Hulks. Flair had the longevity but wasn't nearly as mainstream famous. Hogan had a career that spanned from wrestling thee most famous guys in the business as far back as Inoki and Andre. Then onto Macho Man for probably the greatest long term story in wrestling history which grew from before Mania 3 with Andre to Mania 4 and the formation of the Mega Powers to feud with Andre and Dibiase, then up to the eventual explosion and main eventing Mania 5 together. A truly groundbreaking feud and story told perfectly by all involved. From his Rocky 3 appearance, to his crossover with the MTV audience to having his own cartoon and starring in movies before anyone else did it, he really was far bigger than anyone we have seen before or since. Into the 90s, he then feuds with Flair and Undertaker. Headlines almost an entire decade of Wrestlemania from 1 to 9 and then joins WCW and puts that company on top with the NWO and heel character. Again wrestling more legends of another generation like Sting and Goldberg. After WCW he returns to have the Rock match at Mania. The match between the 2 biggest box office stars ever. And goes on to wrestle guys like Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle or HHH, Vince himself, HBK and Randy Orton in his later years. Who else has wrestled such big names as Antonio Inoki and Andre the Giant, Ric Flair and Randy Savage, The Rock and The Undertaker, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Such big names over such a long spell whilst becoming so big that they are known mainstream, worldwide, starring in movies, being a cartoon and still getting talked about regularly 45 years after the began wrestling? I didn't know who John Cena was when I stopped watching wrestling for a long spell. Why? Because he wasn't able to become so famous that I, as a then non wrestling fan, knew who he was. I don't think I know a single person over the age of 20 who wouldn't know who Hulk Hogan is. There has never been anyone in the entire industry who has been as much of a box office draw as Hogan has. And I say all this as someone who as a child ALWAYS wanted him to lose. He was the first wrestler I ever heard of. I didn't even see wrestling till I was 7, but somehow I knew who he was before starting school at 5. I don't know how that was possible. All other wrestlers rank below Hulk in the great pyramid of wrestling. There's the Hulkster ... Then there's everybody else. BROTHER
The thing with Hogan he has has so much success he was one of the guys who brought wrestling business into the mainstream why does he have to lie it baffles me he literally has no reason to people would gladly hear about his time in the industry with awe but why does he have to lie
Sorry, Tom Cruise owns and flies a P-51 Mustang - which is a fighter jet.
Eric Bishoff was sharing facts about hulk hogan profile.
Beefcake is such a liar 😂😂😂
Bischoff is the biggest apologist for Hogan I’ve ever seen.
Being in pain, on medication or getting divorced doesn’t suddenly make you a racist.
He and Hogan are alike. If they tell the truth, it's by accident.
I have always liked and respected Eric. When I hear people shoot hard on him, I always write it off as pure jealousy. If you noticed though..people like Disco Inferno and others that did not get main event pushes, they always say he was fair! You cannot push everyone to the moon!
Really, that's why wcw went under, his mismanagement of salaries, and Hogan creative control, they had to s of talent and Hogan ego always had to be the face, aging stars Maineventing was not good business. Same story lines
I'm no Hogan fan, BUT everyone says to beat WWF---they HAD TO GET HOGAN! HOGAN wasn't going to come unless he had the deals in place----and overall, Eric wins with those big salaries---for 83 weeks he wins-----until Russo comes in and puts Jay Leno and David Arquette and himself as champion and makes a mockery out f the business...and if you listen to all the xperts shoot-----whomever came up with Godlberg LOSING should be fired----but whomever green lit it---worse. Im just saying---taking on the WWF is not an easy chore ----but Eric did beat them....regarrdless of whether you love him or hate him or love to hate him@@USABRANDED1776 d
No wonder why you’re single
You think I am single??? hahaha Try dating models---married to a model for 12 years before moving on to another one! ;) Suck it! @@BruceFlame-zz7xb
24:16 Barber Beefcake's body language and narration tells me that he's absolutely lying. Plus how long does he ramble on, only to say Hulk has a Jet-Ski accident ? Just feels off to me ?
PS. Best promo BTBB ever did, It's really sad.
Okay but Cruise is actually a pilot and could fly a fighter jet if he had proper clearnace. He has flown a P51
Cruise does fly a P-51 propeller-driven fighter plane, as well as some helicopters, but doesn't own a Jet Fighter, nor has he f;own 1.

Al Snow's voice really grates on me these days. When did he adopt that?
Since he started roiding
@@rubenarriaga3029 out of all the people I know who did roids, not one of them changed their voices.. LMAO
@@stevenjames3242 fr 💯 😅
Hogan said the Chuck Norris talks about Him.
The warrior was right about hogan
When he said a day with out the sunshine is like a day with out my weed
For a very long time there has always been a top 3 Faces and Heels, if you get to work with them you will make money even if they don't put you over.. wrestlemania 18 was 2 of the biggest icons and still Hogan was there to draw money
Hulk Hogan is a big time Jabroni
Hollywood Hogan is without a doubt the biggest ICON in wrestling!!
Remove the "I", and you'll have it.
@@1980bwc And he is the greatest also!! NWO Hollywood rules the world and Hollywood Hogan is the best leader too!! 4 LIFE brother!!
It’s still real to me dammit 😂@@slavenpetanic
@@pedroalejandro1122 It is 😂😂4life🤘🤘BROTHER💪💪
Hell hath no fury like a podcaster scorned.
Except Tom Cruise REALLY IS the guy you see on M.I. lol
Show some respect for the guy that slammed a 7'5 820lb Andre the giant on a boat in Southeast asia in between auditioning for Metallica and curing world hunger whilst delivering toys to all the kids worldwide......
Al Snow said wrestling is fake. Then if that wasn't bad enough, he implies everyone knows. 🤨🤨. Oh lord someone please help this dude out
There's a lot of these guys that should have never been allowed in the business much less a HOF ring.
Hulkamania is da best da man da 🐐 😘
Hogan is a Carney, I don't think people understand how legend worked back in the day, you had to lvie it. he will insert himself into any story, make owt up. You don't have to like him, but its helpful understanding him. Also he is probably better at his job than your favourite wrestler,. he defo is over mine
What is beefcake talking about
Eric is mostly right. I'm pretty sure Cruise owns and flies an old F-15.
Alot of people trash Bishoff ,but that dude would be the CFO of my company anyday...
Why do people give “that doesn’t work for me brother”? I stopped watching WCW when Hulk’s ego killed Starrcade 97.
You can say what you want about the dude, but you cannot deny the fact that his is the most popular PROFESIONAL wrestler in the history of the business 90million people man..
"Rock" is the highest paid actor in Hollyweird???? LMFAO.. That says enough about Hollyweird...
Pay is based on drawing power. If you put more bums on cinema seats, you get paid more.
Yes, you are correct@@J.D.1.
That black though. Wrestlemania 9. Who closed Mania that year? Wow. How that tag match the last one? Or did I miss something?
I love Al Snow but Al Talks like he's Growling 😆
Um..... Tom Cruise is actually a licensed pilot rated for small single engine up to commercial airlines up to military aircraft thats what he does for kicks he has dozens of licenses
I disagree with Eric Bischoff. Just because you are depressed, at your lowest point or whatever, you don't say all of a sudden racist things. Your self-control might be lower, because you're down without much energy, etc. but if you're starting to shit out discriminating stuff out of your mouth, you had that already in yourself.
Every person has some level of discrimination in them against one group of people or another. Anyone who claims they don't is a liar.
Actually, Tom Cruise does know how to fly a fighter jet. So that was a really bad comparison. 🤣
Hogan was cool when he went heel
