    Hulk Hogan is an icon of professional wrestling. He became very hot in the AWA, he became a megastar in the WWF, and he helped WCW fight the competition when he jumped ship to wrestle for Ted Turner. Hogan is easily one of the most recognizable people in all of pro wrestling, but he also tells quite a lot of lies.
    This video looks at some of Hogan's greatest fibs. Lies include Hogan getting offered to play bass in Metallica, Hulk having more than 365 days in a year due to travel and conflicting stories regarding who suggested Hogan should turn heel in WCW.

    Bully Ray (Bubba Ray Dudley) mentioned in a podcast that old school wrestling schools didn't reveal to students right away that it was all predetermined, from one side to protect the business, and from another to make the student into the most convincing shoot-fighter they can be. He even mentions that some of those old students only learned that it was predetermined the night of their first match.

      I think it was more a way to weed out aspirants than a strategy to protect the business. Most people have known that wrestling was a work, or it had scripted parts since like... Well, forever. I dunno in Hogan's case specifically, but a friend's grandpa told us stories about how he could hear the wrestlers calling out spots being in the audience.

      @@thepubknight6144 There's a group of fans and journalists (does the term even apply to wrestling tbh) that are all about how many stars a match got from Ol' Dave and will nerd out about work rate and spots but they forget that at it's core pro wrestling is about the stars and the spectacle. If a match/wrestler is over then it's because the fans want to see and cheer/boo them, not because they know 24621 holds and had an obscure match with an obscure legend wrestler in an obscure arena in Kamurocho in 1994.
      Hogan was a very limited wrestler (mostly because he didn't have to be) but was more over than all the valued indie darlings combined could ever hope be in their entire careers. So was Andre. So was Austin. There's great workers and great stars. Some are both, but if great work is your only asset then you won't be a great star, while you can be a great star while being a mediocre worker.

But he has told a lot of tall tales but he has so much charisma that he probably thinks he can convince anyone of anything. I used to listen to a soundboard(a selection of Hogan catchphrases) and I listened to it so much that I started acting like the Hulk. I kept saying "brother" and my mother got so irritated and she said "stop calling everybody brother!" I quit but it took me a day to do so. Needless to say, I don't listen to that anymore.

    I remember reading Hulk's non WWE book. I remember him talking about injuring himself slamming Andre, but I don't remember anything about tearing all of his back muscles. I remember it being one specific muscle, and that is more that believable when considering the fact that Andre could barely move by that point. Hogan did legitimately have to lift a large portion of that weight.

He lied about never injuring anyone. He lied about being able to draw a singular dime in his career. He lied about Hogan refusing to shake his hand (at a house show in Saskatchewan in 1992 🤣) even though Hogan was barely around at the time. He lied about not being a politician. He refuses to be honest about his feelings about Owen Hart. He refuses to acknowledge what his pimp Vince McMahon did to his father. He refuses to acknowledge what his pimp Vince McMahon did to Bret.

    About the traveling back and forth to Japan... I've flown from the US to Asia many times. Going there you lose a day. Like if I left on a Wednesday I'd arrive on Thursday night. Coming back you do effectively gain time. But how it works out is that if I left Asia at say noon on Monday I'd arrive home around noon on Monday (plus or minus a few hours). So you lose a day going and get it back on the return, making it even out.

    “And I called Vince and I told him, brother, just get him in the Scorpion move…huh? Yeah the ScorpionShooter Lock and have Dave ring the bell. The plan was to do a run with Batista at 18…the mania after that but I couldn’t get out of my WCW contract. David Arquette was booking at that time and he wouldn’t let me go…Jimmy Hart was there too”

    Makes me wonder how the industry recovered.
    We had Moolah being a fiend.
    We had Hogan being an actual racist and liar in essentially full control of backstage politics.
    Then there was Michaels and the Kliq where everything you hear displays the era as an absolute cesspool.

    Well, my faith in the Hulkster has been shaken. If I were told that he wasn't even a real intergalactic bounty hunter and he didn't really quiet down those rowdy gremlins in their second movie, why, I don't know how I could live with that.

    Hulk is the best. I still remember when Alice Cooper was in his corner when he fought the Honky Tonk Man at Wrestlemania Seven. That was the night Andre the Giant teamed up with Rey Meysterio. Watching them given simultaneous 619s was amazing. I really enjoyed when Andre did a moonsault to the outside onto Rick Flair.

    Disco Inferno had an interesting take where he claimed that Hogan has never felt the need to address the media as anyone other than 'Hulk Hogan' and thus felt no need to tell the truth because he's just talking in character as 'Hulk Hogan.'
