Of course. He was the first guy to make the kind of money he was making when he became THE FACE of the first national organization......and they gave him more control over his character than anyone before him. In a business where a mistaken or sloppy move in the ring can put a guy out of action for a year or even end his career, anyone with a functioning brain is going to try to stay on top for as long as possible.
Can't blame him for that if I was in that business I'd want to be that guy just like with UFC I'd want to be the guy like Conor McGregor who is selling the product and making the money otherwise it would seem really pointless to put your well being on the line
People didn’t think of the business like he did. He knew what it took to be at the top, and if he didn’t see it in you, he let you know. Can’t hate on him for wanting to put over something that will be almost or just as big as his run. Why drop your spot for someone who could potentially ruin what the sport is supposed to look like at that time? But he did hold on to that ego for a long long time!
Why every other fatass mark acting surprised when they agree w hogan. He dominated the business for a long time and knows both old school and new school mentality (territory days to now) and always kept himself on top everywhere he went. He knows more about wrestling than you, any internet mark, and 95 percent of wrestlers w their crappy podcasts
Most professional wrestlers are in it for the money million dollar Man said in a recent interview he wasn't bothered about titles as long as he got paid now warrior had this same attitude but got bashed for it by others for year's
The done thing back in the day was to give the heel a cut of your merch money during the run you had with them. They helped get you over and they made no money in merch. “That doesn’t work for me brother”
Yup! Gorilla Monsoon used to say if you were in wrestling to do anything but make money, you were a fool. And Hogan is proving right here that he's no fool!
Outside of Vinnie Mac, Hogan is hands down the greatest business man in the history of wrestling. Dude saw 5-10 years down the road before anyone else.
@@matthewalkman386 He is always honest...but he is the biggest liar in pro wrestling. Hogan, like many golden era stars, have repeated these lies so many times that they actually believe them.
I hate it when some one calls wrestling fake. It’s staged, but the bumps are real. How many of our childhood wrestlers (for me the 80’s) have passed away. Seeing Piper one time say, tearied eyed, all my friends are dying young. I never met Hogan, he was my main wrestling hero. But I’m happy he is still among us. Going to his shop and meeting him would be a dream. Not sure I can keep it dry though. 😅
Hogan Was always a business man in a business full of marks. Even Kevin Nash said there's only two things that are real, the money and the miles. Make the money while you can
Everybody always wants to hate on Hogan on how he did business in wrestling but he knew how the business operated and what it took to get to the top and he did just that. That’s why he’s a legend
Heres the thing with Hogan. He may not be the BEST guy in the world. He may not be the BEST father. Or the BEST wrestler. He might be a liar at times for his own ego. Hes not perfect. But dont think hes not intelligent. He was smart enough to treat this industry like a job. He knew what he had to do to make money. And hes a damn hard worker. A lot of times the most succesful people you see, in any job, are people that werent afraid to step on others toes, or stretch the truth to their benefit. Its surprises me 0% to see hulk speak intelligently and truthfully about the business after so many years. But hes definitely that guy weve all worked with that go promoted faster than everyone, but was a total prick. That was hogan. And like it or not, it was a smart move to take over an untapped industry and make yourself the #1 emoloyee.
I'm gonna shoot for your weed merch brother! Reminds me when Bruno Sanmartino had me go to Jamaica to wrestle him for the ICW.championship I did, but there was this weird guitar player there who everyone hated named Bob Marley. He knew the song I wrote with Frank Sinatra back in 38 so I brought him to the US to record the album for a little garage band named Metallica. Vitamins.
End of the day he navigated the business better than anyone else for a very long time and that's gotta be respected despite the fact that he wasn't perfect and has questionable recall of facts 😂. The undeniable fact is that he knew the game and played it like a pro whilst also being the Hulkster brother!!!
Hulk hogan doesn't deserve any respect from wrestling. He literally is saying that he ruined others in order to stay on top. He always managed to take the spot light from everyone he worked with. He also never truly pass the torch to anyone. How can you say that you respect a man who's whole carrier depended whether the Iron Sheik would pass the torch to him? If Hulk Hogan would've pass the torch or at the very least help those that build him up then I wouldn't think he was such a piece of shit. He fucked up or screwed every wrestler he worked with. Iron Shiek, Andre The Giant, Randy Savage, Kurt hanging, Rick Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Bret Hart, Undertaker, The Rock, Shawn Michaels, Everyone in WCW, Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton ect.. notice that everyone of those names are regarded as greatest or are more important, significant than Hulk Hogan, and they didn't need to put others down or fuck up someone's push. Hulk Hogan was and industry hack that never considered that if he played ball and was a team player, then he would've made more money impact and had a perfect legacy. Non of those guys and others wanted to work with the fucking guy after he pulled his creative control. You must be a casual or new fan to even consider respect and Hulk Hogan in the same sentence
It’s a shame he lies so much about trivial things, because he has so much wisdom to give on the business. Then when he does say something worth listening to, people are less inclined to take him serious. For example, he’s speaking truth here, but let’s remember, this man said Elvis was a massive fan of his; however, Elvis died shortly after Hulk performed one of his first house shows ever. Also I have to throw this one in here because it’s just so priceless; Hulk said he’s fought roughly 400 days in one year, as well know there’s only 365 days in a year. But Hulk said this was due to the time change between Japan and America, he would wrestle in one country and then fly to the other country and compete twice in the same day. For Hulk to have done this he would have had to competed every day of the year which is not humanly possible. But let’s just say he did wrestle ever day of the year, for roughly 30-35 of those days he would have had to wrestle in Japan and then come back to America to wrestle because Japan is 14 hours ahead of America. A nonstop flight from America to Japan takes roughly 11 hours and 30 minutes. My head is going to explode typing this, that’s how much this doesn’t make sense, so instead of going into all the ways his statement of ‘wrestling 400 plus times a year’ is wrong, I’ll just leave it at that. Even if a super human lived somehow and could possibly have the energy and to do this, mathematically speaking, this is wildly impossible brother! Despite saying all this, I am a huge fan of Hulks lies and I hope he continues to weave these beautiful webs of lunacy. Keep fighting on for all the Hulkamaniacs out there brother. Good stuff! 🇺🇸
I get why so many Wrestlers hated hulk to be Frank. As a matter of fact, I will also say that I believe many other wrestlers when they say that terry was a compulsive liar. I really do believe this guy is the original HHH. The only thing Hulk didn’t do was get married with Stephanie. However, I will say this: This business is DOG-EATS- DOG. During hulks time you didn’t just have to be a shrewd businessman/promoter like Vince in this business; you had to equally be as ruthless as a wrestler/talent to get the spots you could manage to obtain. Terry (Hulk) was simply using his appeal to the audience to get that top spot and get as much money as he possibly could. To many wrestling purist, not wanting to put another talent over or keeping the top spot for himself; not wanting to help the youth or speaking to mid-card talents or not wanting to do jobs for rising talents is sacrosanct. But something I realized was Vince McMahon didn’t actually pick out traditional minded wrestlers during his time. Let’s not forget that hulk is a byproduct of Verne Gagne-the original OG who kept his company strap to himself and his family. I think this interview solidified the fact that hulk was a piece of shit from the perspective of the Bret Harts of the wrestling world, but in my view, Hulk was simply taking full advantage of what he could to continue to entertain his massive fan base (that included me and I am still a hulkamaniac) and to maintain relevance in the sport. God knows many old talents are jealous of hulk because they didn’t have the will or smarts like hulk did.
This is why wrestler promos were so real before because how good their promos had a big impact on their drawing power at the live event and PPvs and hence their pay. So the promos were shoots.
finally somebody told the truth. I got so tired of wrestler & executives talk about how wins and losses don't matter surely you can overcome some losses with a good push but wins and losses ultimately do matter. Only so long fans will back and put money into a loser 🤷
Hogan is smarter than everyone man, sometimes you don't have to let the marks in on everything. It's all about the money, not "work rate" money will look after you when you retire, not how good of a worker you are. Very simple concept most fans that think they're smart can get their heads around.
Some wrestler get multiple chances to reinvent their character and image before they make it big, some wrestlers didn’t even get the first chance. Also you can argue that Vince stifled professional wrestling as much as he made it grow. It took Vince over a decade after WCW was created to finally create a second weekly show called “Smackdown” when the whole reason guys left his business in the first place was because they weren’t getting enough money, exposure or ring time due to the explosion of new wrestlers wanting to come in and prove themselves. The sport grew tenfold, the fans grew tenfold and so did the roster backstage and yet almighty god of heaven and earth Vince continues on with his Monday night raw which at best could fit maybe 7 or 8 matches at most. Between tag team matchups and backstage promos you could give maybe 15 guys some half decent exposure to the crowd. And how about the fact that he kept the writing as simple and retarded as possible and had no in-house acting classes to help character development? Because good writers can make any character entertaining and it upsets the stranglehold that a handful of guys have on the entire industry… “And that just ain’t gonna work for me, brother”.
The entire industry was built upon throwing no names to the wolves before they could find their groove and make some decent money in the business. Also Vince made more money off of you by owning your character, so you were pressured by upper echelons to go along with something that was chosen for you which makes you even more uncomfortable than you originally were, making it harder to be entertaining but it didn’t matter, Vince was gonna make a couple million off of your merchandise sales and then kick you to the curb after you confront him about not having enough money to live. A cut throat business man who you definitely want on your side, but definitely would never want to work for. So greedy however that he stifled the entire industry for a good couple of decades in my opinion.
He gets way too much credit for the NWO. He only joined Hall and Nash(who btw were already the most popular act in the company without Hogan) bc ppl were starting to boo his Hulkamania gimmick. Ppl were tired of having him at the top and he found a way to sneak his way into the hottest thing in the company. I really believe Macho Man would have been a better leader for the group when they started and would have finally put him on that level with Hogan when it comes to all time lists.
Savage was the best option as he was, he wouldn't have had to change anything about himself but his allegiances and actions but Hogan turned himself into legendary heel in every way.
Yeah but Hogan being the biggest baby-face EVER in wrestling then going heel to join the nwo was HUGE and SHOCKING to fans I don't think anything else would have worked
No. As popular as Hall and Nash were, it absolutely WAS (it's not a debatable point) the shocking heel turn from Hogan that MADE the NWO. Again, this isn't disputable, it's factual.
As if Bret Hart wasn't a mark for himself. He was such a mark for himself that both Scott Hall and Mark Callaway had to basically say to him that this business isn't about just you and we deserve our spots and much more money as well.
Every wrestler was a mark for themselves in the 90s. Hogan Warrior, Savage, Nash and Hall, Austin, Rock, HHH, HBK, Bret, Goldberg, Undertaker etc. Its because the business had more larger than life mega stars at the same place, same time.
In this world, not the next. Everything appointed to you is to distract you. Save up for yourself treasures that moth and rust do not destroy and thieves can’t break in and steal.
It’s not about that hulk just cared about the business of making money no matter who he had to step on he is not on my Mount Rushmore just because of the way he handles himself outside of wrestling that has to factor in
Hogan dropped some serious knowledge in this interview
This everyone is why he was so protective of his spot.
Of course. He was the first guy to make the kind of money he was making when he became THE FACE of the first national organization......and they gave him more control over his character than anyone before him. In a business where a mistaken or sloppy move in the ring can put a guy out of action for a year or even end his career, anyone with a functioning brain is going to try to stay on top for as long as possible.
And I don’t blame him one bit.
Can't blame him for that if I was in that business I'd want to be that guy just like with UFC I'd want to be the guy like Conor McGregor who is selling the product and making the money otherwise it would seem really pointless to put your well being on the line

Can’t hate on him for wanting to put over something that will be almost or just as big as his run. Why drop your spot for someone who could potentially ruin what the sport is supposed to look like at that time? But he did hold on to that ego for a long long time!
"This work is gonna shoot for me, brother.."
😂
🤣
😂 this is awesome
😂😂
This shoot isn't going to work for me, brother!
He made complete sense here, to me
This is probably the most profound thing Hogan has ever said 💀

Yeah but those who eat the ass never taste the shit 😂😂😂
That’s quite a claim

Like Captain Lou said, the only thing real is the money and the miles.

Hogan dropping some real knowledge with this one.
Absolute legend brother 🙌🏼
👍💪🤡
This man is a wrestling mastermind. In evey facet of the game.
It all about the game and how you play it.. HHH Hollywood Hulk Hogan
Finally, something knowledgeable and not a blatant lie from Terry😊
Legend! Hulk was playing chess while everyone around bitched and played checkers 😂
Best statement of all time. The rest just bitched and moaned.
He was obviously way smarter.
Well, according to some stories I’ve heard; nobody else even had a fair shot.
Bro took the quote from Shaq at Kobe Bryant’s funeral💀
@@Noah_Evers You think Shaq made up a quote ?
Hogan is 💯% on the 🤑 money! LOVE it!
The done thing back in the day was to give the heel a cut of your merch money during the run you had with them. They helped get you over and they made no money in merch. “That doesn’t work for me brother”
Makes sense. Kinda the right thing to do. IF the heels merch did poorly. If he killed for some odd reason then, no dough. Simple.
Yup! Gorilla Monsoon used to say if you were in wrestling to do anything but make money, you were a fool. And Hogan is proving right here that he's no fool!
"that works for me brother"
The most honest thing I've heared him say in a while.
Outside of Vinnie Mac, Hogan is hands down the greatest business man in the history of wrestling. Dude saw 5-10 years down the road before anyone else.
For himself he pretty much booked himself to win every match that caused wcw to go out of business
@@JuanMorales-hy2lt AT&T/Time Warner not wanting wrestling on their network put WCW out of business
@@JuanMorales-hy2lt LOL, HH lost multiple times in WCW, he was far from the reason why it went out of business.
@@JuanMorales-hy2ltwcw wasn't even close to competitive to wwf untill Hogan went there.
@@JuanMorales-hy2ltYou think a wrestler caused WCW to go out of business. What a pathetic mark.
Hulk is goona work himself into a shoot brother.
He’s always honest
@@matthewalkman386 He is always honest...but he is the biggest liar in pro wrestling. Hogan, like many golden era stars, have repeated these lies so many times that they actually believe them.
@@Gwildor2020because his life doesn't revolves around his real name terry but his character Hulk Hogan so theres bound to be so lies here and there
Rare clip of Hogan telling the truth 😂
And it had to do with money 😂
Wrestlers are taught from the first day to be deceptive and trick people, it’s never a shock to me when they BS about stuff. It’s part of the game.
I hate it when some one calls wrestling fake. It’s staged, but the bumps are real. How many of our childhood wrestlers (for me the 80’s) have passed away.

100% Facts!
Damn hogan having an off day...actually being an honest lol
I guess they finally figured out who the NWO was 🤣 and that is Scott Hall in the background (the coolest member) 🙌🏼
This may actually be the most factual thing hes ever said
I'll always love Hulk Hogan. Not necessarily Terry Bollea, but I'll love the Hulkster until my dying day.
"The safest place for a wrestler is in the ring!" Tony Atlas
This is how Terry the Man really thinks
Backlund - I'm making more money than Hogan.
Hogan - That doesn't work for me Brother.
Heres the thing with Hogan.
He may not be the BEST guy in the world.
He may not be the BEST father.
Or the BEST wrestler.
He might be a liar at times for his own ego.
Hes not perfect.
But dont think hes not intelligent.

At least he's honest....
on this point at least.
This is how pro wrestling is a sport. Combination of skill and charisma. And no set ratio. Some succeed more on ability, some on charisma.
Cant blame hulk for being selfish. Blame the people that let him get away with so much.
HulkRules for life
I get why so many Wrestlers hated hulk to be Frank. As a matter of fact, I will also say that I believe many other wrestlers when they say that terry was a compulsive liar. I really do believe this guy is the original HHH. The only thing Hulk didn’t do was get married with Stephanie.
However, I will say this:

Shoot in his eyes means he was aiming to make more money than his opponent.
This is why wrestler promos were so real before because how good their promos had a big impact on their drawing power at the live event and PPvs and hence their pay. So the promos were shoots.
He was just the right guy in the wrong time at the right place, but the wrong guy in the right place at the right time..uh.. brother!
The right gay guy promo was hilarius 😂
finally somebody told the truth. I got so tired of wrestler & executives talk about how wins and losses don't matter surely you can overcome some losses with a good push but wins and losses ultimately do matter. Only so long fans will back and put money into a loser 🤷
I would say it matters more so on the babyface. Hard for fans to get behind a guy that loses every week. Wyatt is the perfect example of that.
The guy that has the belt always got the most money
Works for me Brother
This clip is awesome and hilarious
When he said it does matter if u lose or win. All I can think about is WM9
Hogan is smarter than everyone man, sometimes you don't have to let the marks in on everything. It's all about the money, not "work rate" money will look after you when you retire, not how good of a worker you are. Very simple concept most fans that think they're smart can get their heads around.
It's anti union in all it's glory
The money & the miles!
Thats true. Thats what happened with John cena all the kids love him
All I can hear is Will Sasso "Wull... Wull... Hold on Dude! Thats a Shoot Brother!
I think there's a big difference between people who work because they love the business and people who shoot because they love the money
😂😂 Hogan rules!
Hogan just explained 30 years of questionable behaviour and it made sense.
That aint gonna work. “ brother “
Hulk Hogan made wrestling! 100% TRUTH!
Is it me or is the more recent stuff of Hogan he's telling the truth more often
He basically just said it was all a game and he played to win😅
Finally, Hogan said something true.
He had another interview where he said something true as well
Never got the hoopla for backlund
Hulk Hogan knows my father $300 hahaha
The first thing that hogan has ever said that made me think
Uhh, what?
He's a liar with brain dead takes but this isn't that. Surprisingly
hogan never lies everone must be wrong hogan for presedent brother.
Hogan already said this multiple times if this is the first time hearing your a mark brother
Love Hogan
Well Hogan is 2 for 2 now. Good job
And everyone else had to work twice as hard to make Hogan look like a wrestler
People shit on this guy but everyone at the very top is a politican. Dude played the system accordingly.
Pretty sure Piper sold a bunch of merch. But maybe it was 2 to 1 🤷♂️
That’s not gonna work for me, brother.
It's A Business Of Course It's About The Money!!!!! WTF!!!!😎😎😎😎😎
Hulk always took all the food $$ of the table while his competitors left it on the table$$
Back in the day but good guys made more money than bad guys

Don’t trust a word this man says brother
Just realized that he looks like aaron rodgers
What’s a shoot ? And what’s a work ?lol
Actors get paid differently, it doesn’t mean the movie is real. What’s his point?
He must have been mad at Steve austin then lol
As if the nelk boys are internet wrestling fans who know what “work” and “shoot” mean. Total mark
?
Cant remember qhich it was 1 wrestlemania he made more money than all the other wrestlers combined
Hogan is a huge mark for himself
As if Bret Hart wasn't a mark for himself. He was such a mark for himself that both Scott Hall and Mark Callaway had to basically say to him that this business isn't about just you and we deserve our spots and much more money as well.
If you aren't a mark for yourself then get out of the business!
Every wrestler was a mark for themselves in the 90s. Hogan Warrior, Savage, Nash and Hall, Austin, Rock, HHH, HBK, Bret, Goldberg, Undertaker etc. Its because the business had more larger than life mega stars at the same place, same time.
This Script doesn't work for me Brother .... I'm shooting hard Brother .
The first time hulk Hogan told the truth
Hogan put butt in the seat main event WrestleMania after mania after mania Hogan made vince jr and saved McMahon in 94
"That shoots for me brother"
I wonder if non-wrestling fans understand what he’s saying
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He put tons to people in the seats and made McMahon Tons of Money Vince should be kissing Hogan ass
This is a fucking shoot brother
In this world, not the next. Everything appointed to you is to distract you. Save up for yourself treasures that moth and rust do not destroy and thieves can’t break in and steal.
Don’t work yourself into a shoot
It’s not about that hulk just cared about the business of making money no matter who he had to step on he is not on my Mount Rushmore just because of the way he handles himself outside of wrestling that has to factor in
