Yep, plus he played the long game, knowing that a wrestlers career is tentative. He played his cards right and made a good run. Gotta respect the dude.
honky tonk man gracious to make $50,000 payout back then putting over new stars. meanwhile there's a bunch of no talents in wwe right now who shouldn't be earning 50 cents with million dollar contracts sitting in catering every week because they're supposedly veterans of the business.
I'm sorry but I seen alot of people who couldn't wrestle and I like the honky tonk man but he really couldn't wrestle about as bad as warrior but not quiet
Yeah 4 million was probably the minimum guaranteed then there were bonuses for appearing on Nitro, ppv, wearing an NWO shirt on tv, etc.,etc.,etc.......I'm pretty sure I saw a video where they showed parts of his contract it might have been on the podcast with Sean Oliver and Nash
I was there that night at the Meadowlands Honky, in the nose bleed section. I think it was February 1988. This was a few weeks after Hulk lost the title to Andre.
I could literally listen to HTM talk or tell stories all day or night long. I believe HTM is telling the truth when he’s talking about the wrestling business. Plus the ring name Honky Tonk man was a Johnny Horton song which I’m a huge fan of.
I was going to comment the same thing. Jake had a couple house show main events with Hogan and the crowd chanted "DDT-DDT-DDT" so Vince scrapped that program. Hogan and Rude could've been a Mania main event at certain points but I think Hogan avoided Rude for some reason. They worked one on one on only a couple of occasions.
Bruno, Pedro, and Hogan all challenged HTM for the IC belt. And in all of those matches, it was painfully obvious that HTM would get DQ’d since a former World Champion becoming an IC Champion was something that just didn’t happen back then.
Smaller runs but probably no return matches that lasted months. I saw Rude vs Hulk in Baltimore and I know through my cousins that they had matches in Philly and NYC.
Got to remember a run back then didn't necessarily mean a run on TV or PPV. A run could mean a run on the house shows as WWF ran multiple crews so you could be mid card on TV but in the main event on the house shows.
Yeah jake only had one match against hogan. 1987 providence center. People were cheering g and shouting DDT , hulk stopped that run real quick. I don’t blame him though. Wrestling is cutthroat, you have to do what you have to do to stay in top. Hogan made a lot of money and had two massive runs. WWF1984-1990( left in 93) but was running in fumes though last few years. But then obviously he had that NWO run tooo.
I don't remember Dino Bravo getting that run, and I thought it was well known that Hogan would NOT work with Rude? And I would argue that Bossman delivered in that spot as well as anyone.
They had 2 different crews, one crew would be in Georgia working Augusta and Macon, while another crew would be in North Carolina working in Charlotte and Columbia, South Carolina.
@stacymirba1433 With house shows they did what they did with Wrestlemania 2 with 2 sometimes 3 crews labelled as A, B, and C shows. Hogan would be on the A show cards in larger cities with bigger venues able to sell it out just by Hogan being on the card then use top guys like Warrior & Savage to main event B shows in smaller cities with smaller venues able to sell out with those smaller cities not getting wwf house shows wrestling events all that often
Honky is delusional, even though we all know Wrestling is scripted there has to be the illusion of believability. In NO WORLD, in NO SITUATION could ANYONE believe that The Honky Tonk Man could have beat Hulk Hogan. The Bossman DESERVED that run because the Bossman was a credible threat to Hulk Hogan. The Honky Tonk Man was a Screaming Norman Smiley level talent in the WWF, nothing more.
honkey stating that American badass taker may not work & the taker character may not be long left in wwe --- the interview was done in 2000 , taker only retired few years ago ( watched htm interview dec 2024 )
honkey always mixed truth,lies,and crying...and was always consistent with it in every interview so i give him that....but overall this did not age well lmao
The selling out of buildings and arenas back during the 80s was the WWF brand and not who was the main event, we didn't know who would be on the card let alone who would actually show up, and we bought our tickets months in advance as soon as we knew the WWF was coming to our city or town.
Mean Gene used to cut promos in the media room in front of a bunch of monitors announcing who would be wrestling at the house shows coming to your town. That’s part of what got people to buy tickets. Same way he did the Wrestlemania Report.
Not sure how or why anyone gave this a thumbs up, but I’m going to assume it was either casual fans who weren’t paying attention or people who weren’t even born at the time. We had Event Centers running down the cards and who was supposed to be there, and in my city they ran newspaper ads promoting the top matches. The whole “it’s the brand, not the wrestlers” thing has only come about in the last 10 years when the roster became completely homogeneous.
Jake never got a run with Hogan they squashed it because Jake was getting more over than Hogan. There's an unpaired Snake Pit segment where Jake DDTs Hogan to set up an angle that never happened.
Not entirely... this was recorded around the late attitude era/early ruthless aggression era... the Deadman character really didn't work during that time which is why they tried the American badass gimmick.. once they started shifting toward the Cena/PG era, they were able to bring it back and it fit again.
Honky is just so full of it. There's no way Vince promised him a run with Hogan, because Vince intended to bring Honky in as a babyface.Just watch his first couple of appearances. He turned into a heel when people - to nobody but Vince's surprise - didn't eat up a wrestling Elvis impersonator as their new hero. And back then, face vs. face didn't happen, especially not in WWE. Not until 1990 with Warrior and Hogan. And that was only because Vince and Hogan expected the latter to gradually phase over into making movies fulltime, another hilarious misjudgement by Vince.
Serious Question here. Was the WWF charging more for tickets if Hogan was headlining the card? I wouldn't know if they were because I am from a smaller town and the WWF/WWE has only been there twice. They came in 1988 to the High School gym and Duggan/DiBiase worked the main event. The advertised Main Event was the with the One Man Gang but this was around the time they switched his name to Akeem.
think he meant 2 one saturday and 2 on Sunday. they used to do that back in the late 80's, I remember seeing the exact a show in the city I lived in in at 1 in the afternoon and the exact same show winners and matches at 8 pm 2 hrs from my home town, I was 11 or 12 at the time
Another dude who couldnt face the music he just wasnt as good as he thought, or that the peak he reached, was just another step. He was over, and he was great, but he was no savage, hogan or any of the guys he mentioned in comparison, but thats not to say, he wasnt a big deal, he just wasnt THAT BIG of a deal.
Vince McMahon was famous for, among other things, dangling the carrot of a run with Hogan or winning the belt from Hogan in front of a LOT of the talent ... and then not delivering on the promise. But can you really blame Vince for keeping Hogan as the champ or at least as Top Dog for so long?? Hogan was still more over in the days when Hulkamania was waning by 1992 than guys like Bad News Brown or even Honky ever were.
I have always liked Honkey. Sure he comes off as a bit of a prick sometimes, but he takes what he does seriously. I dont think he is a nostalgia guy. Very serious about the business side of things. He wants the correct compensation for the work he does and the gimmick he created. I remember the interview when he said he didnt ask for a job with the WWF back in his Calgary days because he didnt think he was good enough. I didnt expect that kind of humility from him.
That Hogan knew how to milk 🥛 the cow man. But he did get guys paid. They're mad because he was able to get all residuals. I heard from bam bam that Hogan helped out a lot of wrestlers. Hogan got bossman paid in 1989 a $12 k pay day for a Saturday night main event. That's pretty good for a Saturday night in 1989. I heard bossman quit his job and dedicated his self to wrestling.
Im telling y'all it breaks my heart to say it i think owen broke austins neck on purpose the money difference for being in that ic spot is the reason thats alot of money for his family and owen was all about his family
9 shows per week... 4, 4!!, on Sunday!!! Vince was working these guys to death, no wonder so many of them died early(besides the roids). Honky Tonk Man/Wayne seems like a classy, well spoken guy who clearly understood the business. He's definitely one of the all-time greats PS: yet another person confirming "good ol' JR" was a work, in reality JR was Vince's hatchet man doing all Vince's dirty work for him
Honkey has a reputation of turning even little kids away at shows if they don’t have 10 bucks. I’m not saying he should work for free , but I’ve heard multiple stories of him just flat out refusing little kids. I get a teen and definitely an adult. But a kid ??? Come on.
One match. We’re talking about a feud which never happened between Rick Rude and Hulk Hogan. With all do respect you really need to go back to school if you did not understand my question. I truly hate no nothing answer which is basically what you gave. There was no story or feud between Rick Rude and Hulk Hogan. Honestly it’s like talking to an 8 month old with your pathetic answer
Maybe Honky just wasn't any good that's why lol Somebody quick name a good Honky Tonk Man match hahaha Only thing he did in his career was win that IC belt.
HTM good heel but dude to complain about SAVAGE you ain't even close and you're take on the UNDERTAKER well I guess you really don't know what you're talking about do you
the cameraman is horrible for this interview shaking the camera laughing not worth the chump change they probably pay him. a tripod would be better than this guy.
There could have been quite a few who could have done as well as Hogan, or even better. The thing is, the fans were and still are, complete mongoloids who never realize what greatness is. A few I can name offhand are Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, Ricky Steamboat, Jim Duggan, Tito Santana, and those are just the ones from the Hogan WWF era. Hogan got lucky with the timing as his adversaries put him over all the time.
@@CannedHam2479 I am a bigger Hickomanius than both of you combined and I only disagree -- because he understated it. HTM would have been 1,000 times bigger than Hogan with 1/10th the booking. To only say he could have been bigger is too mild, the reality is, HTM was actively held back in order to keep him from easily overshadowing Hogan. It took every booking decision they could make to do it and even then it's arguable that HTM was a much bigger star than Hogan.
Well I can tell you us kids in the neighborhood back then, not Honky Tonk fans, boring to watch and was int champ for WAY too long it was an early meme watching him bs those matches.

Stop it. HTM was great at selling and was an above average worker. If he was as bad as you say, how come you're the only one saying it?
He doesn't hold a grudge on anything. Just live n let live.
No fn wonder hes still alive today.. and healthy
I enjoy honky's interviews. Always liked him.
"His days as the Undertaker are probably finished." You were only off by about 20 years lol
Exactly underestimated the deadman 😂
The Undertaker faded into oblivion. Honky called it!
@@905JimRaynor faded into oblivion?? Clearly that's what happened 😂😂

the only reason undertaker stayed "relevant" during the next 15 or so years, its because he was mostly a part timer for most of that time...
Loved the shake rattle and roll
I love his interviews!
4 million a year for Hogan in WCW? I think it was closer to 10 mill
Yep, I bet the 4 million was only Hogan's base salary.
@ indeed
@@CatsClaw44Yea. Base salary. In sure incentives and bonuses were the bulk of his pay.
Hogan was making 5 mill per year from WWF in the mid-late 80's!
Yeah 4 million was probably the minimum guaranteed then there were bonuses for appearing on Nitro, ppv, wearing an NWO shirt on tv, etc.,etc.,etc.......I'm pretty sure I saw a video where they showed parts of his contract it might have been on the podcast with Sean Oliver and Nash
Why are all of these zoomed into his face so close. Great Interviews I cant stop watching them.
I love honky Tonk Man and his interviews are the best❤❤❤
This is amazing!
I love Honky Tonk...the person.

Rude had a Saturday night main event match was great.
The match with orndorf and hogan was an awesome match. It’s on YT.
Anyone that watch Taker come out for the very 1st time and thought it wouldn't make it was delusional. You could hear a pin drop during that entrance.
He had no tattoos, pale white 285 solid muscle walked the top rope. Always thought he wasn't same as later taker
@@m.i.smooth810 it was a stupid idea by vince. but mark took it and made it decent.
I don't remember Rick Rude and Jake Roberts having runs with Hogan.
I was going to comment the same thing. Jake had a couple house show main events with Hogan and the crowd chanted "DDT-DDT-DDT" so Vince scrapped that program. Hogan and Rude could've been a Mania main event at certain points but I think Hogan avoided Rude for some reason. They worked one on one on only a couple of occasions.
I commented the same thing.
Honky is way off.
I don't recall Dino Bravo getting one either. If so it was brief AF.
@mac888spectral7 if anything, it was simultaneously with Earthquake. But there was never a Hogan vs Bravo program
They didn't. Neither did Dino Bravo or Savage as a babyface
Back in the 80s. Tht was insane money for tht time👏
Yeah. I heard Hogan got bossman his first 12k payday for 1 Sat night main event. Pretty good for one fucking Sat night.
Bruno, Pedro, and Hogan all challenged HTM for the IC belt. And in all of those matches, it was painfully obvious that HTM would get DQ’d since a former World Champion becoming an IC Champion was something that just didn’t happen back then.
Golden Era of wrestling for this wrestling fan!

Same way he did the Wrestlemania Report.
Not true, it was all about Hogan not the brand, things didn't start going in that direction until he was gone.
A Hogan Maple Leaf Gardens crowd was totally different from a Maple Leaf Gardens card without Hogan.

That’s not true Rick rude has never wrestled Hulk hogan
Once in Boston he did.
Rude had a run against the Ultimate Warrior
Boston Garden in '88 before the infamous Main Event screwjob and a brief encounter at the inaugural Survivor Series prior.
Yes he did, and Vader, hulk wrestled both guys.
Rude did wrestle him but he never got a run with Hogan.
Jake never got a run with Hogan they squashed it because Jake was getting more over than Hogan. There's an unpaired Snake Pit segment where Jake DDTs Hogan to set up an angle that never happened.
That’s what Jake says. Who knows.
@@kelbob00It was actually confirmed.
@@kelbob00 My point is The Honky Tonk Man wasn't giving totally correct information. I don't think that was intentional.
Because Jake got a babyface pop from the crowd when he hit the DDT.
I also don't remember Rick Rude getting a run with Hogan.
Everyone got a run with Hogan. He buried all of them
Hogan said he work 400 nights a year
i thought dibase and bossman were good heels
Hogan in one match. Would make more then most working stiffs make in a year
I don't think Jake got a run with Hogan
Not a TV or PPV RUN. Live events
Boy was he wrong about the undertaker lol

it wasn't a mistake by vince. Yes, hogan failed to be on the movies, but he left wrestling for hollywood in 93..and he was mostly retired after wm8...
Honky was a heat magnet as IC champ though.
Had a good program with Jake heading into Mania III.
Serious Question here. Was the WWF charging more for tickets if Hogan was headlining the card?
I wouldn't know if they were because I am from a smaller town and the WWF/WWE has only been there twice. They came in 1988 to the High School gym and Duggan/DiBiase worked the main event. The advertised Main Event was the with the One Man Gang but this was around the time they switched his name to Akeem.
One Man Gang interviews are great. He said he'd lose to Hogan on those loops a lot and made great money. He was happy to do it.
MackMan. Thats that Tennessee in him
Valentine said honky gave him ghb on a plane once and Greg got them caught and in trouble.
Where was he doing 4 shows a day at?
think he meant 2 one saturday and 2 on Sunday. they used to do that back in the late 80's, I remember seeing the exact a show in the city I lived in in at 1 in the afternoon and the exact same show winners and matches at 8 pm 2 hrs from my home town, I was 11 or 12 at the time
Might have meant TV tapings, too. They often taped multiple shows in one day.
Sounds like more than Hogan didn't like the DF
HTM always whining about money 🤣
That had to been an old interview with Wayne because he a lot older now & it been few years he was basically gray headed & showing his age.
Yup, this was recorded in the year 2000. 24 years ago.
Jake and rick rude never got a run with hogan... rick rude only had 1 dark match as did jake with hogan. But it didn't work for hogan brother!
