In the 80s he was Geetered to the gills with Cocaine and Roids. Right here he's off of both. Hogan was in the ionosphere in the late 80s with Randy Savage.
Such a good-natured, easy to get along with, not easily offended fella! And such a great performer wherever he went! I think he cared mostly what kids thought of him and kept his image that of someone they could all look up to. He wasn't going to let Jay bring him down in this interview and kept his persona friendly and likable. He was and always will be wrestlings Golden Child! Long live the Hulkster!
JMastFlex ToyWorld Thanks!!!1 ;*D Especially when he first became "dark Hogan" to play the mind game with Sting in 1995, wearing black and shaving off his moustache!!!! ;*O
STEJTHEGREATEST he looks younger to you because this is during the years that he was off of steroids. In his book he talks about how when he got off the juice in the early 90s, he lost a lot of weight and looked like a popped balloon, with his face and body getting really slender looking because he got off steroids cold turkey. Eventually towards his WWE return in the 2000s, he started to get his old look back, with more of the swollen hulk look with the thick neck and pudgy face. Also, I wouldn't say 1990/1991 was the height of Hulkamania, I mean he dropped the belt and passed the torch to Warrior in 1990. 1987/88 was the peak, and when he was in his prime. He was the full time champion selling out 80,000 seat arenas, enjoying a 4-year winning streak, in top physical shape, not yet relegated to his later part-time attraction status, and as over with the fans as he would ever be.
Hogan was actually 41 years old in this video. He had considered retiring in 1993, but decided against it less than a year later when he was offered a contract to join WCW. At the age of 59, Hogan's most recent appearance in wrestling was on an episode of TNA Impact that aired on 8/23/2012.
Update: last apperence in wrestling was last night at the WWE hall of fame. Inducted as a member of the nWo along side Nash, Hall and Syxx aka X-Pac aka 123-Kid aka Sean Waltman.
@@jamaali2358 Yes, for those who are his. His love for us was so strong, that he gave up his life freely. To be tortured and crucified. To put our sins onto him. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, for whomsoever believes in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. His love is everlasting but he does chastised those who he loves. Like a father would do to his child. He disciplines those who he loves. Also he won't be mocked. We will reap what we sow. Let those who are heartbroken, worry, saddened come to the lord and lay their burdens on his shoulders. For the devil, comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus comes to give us life everlasting.
I grew up watching hulk Hogan Like when I 1st came out is Red and yellow and when he was with the nwoAnd when he came back as read in yellow He will always be my favorite wrestler
Mortgage Financing : Holy fucking shit you're stupid . Lol . You really think anyone that is the same shape Hogan was in this clip must be on steroids ? Stop smoking crack , you dumb bitch .
Jay can only relate to fellow nerds. But that's what makes his interviews so good you feel like throwing something at the TV when he interviews jocks or macho guys. You know they're thinking wtf. I've yelled at him when he asks goofy or silly questions but in the end you can't help but like him. Of all the post Carson guys in my opinion he's by far the best. I think hes actually a decent boxer cause his dad was amateur boxer.
1:18 We desperately need all of Thunder in paradise! Heck I'd live with a VHS version of the show. Only the 3 two-parter movies are on dvd. NOW! I think internationally there is a release, as they is a bootleg online.
God I played lion with my Russian sweetheart for hours and hours and we loved it.. Especially she... she just could not get enough of me... I said wait let me just take a one more nice line and I am good to Rock n Roll ;) God I miss those times... had others lionesses after her too and they were good as well but not as my Russian beauty :) I be back :)
Looks like he lost all that fat around his arms. 19 inches of muscle + 5 inches of fat = 24 inches. In all do respect, he had bigger arms than a lot of people in that time even when he trimmed down
He had really slimmed down by this point in his career, he hardly looks like a wrestler anymore.. I don't know when this interview took place, I'm guessing maybe about 15 years ago
OK first off, his physique still looks good. And this interview was in the early 90s. He is not as bulky as he was because this is around the steroid scandal. So during that time he dropped a lot of weight. But, I think he looks quite athletic and still stronger looking than many other wrestlers. He regains some of his bulk during the 90s after they start juicing again.
Wow, so weird seeing him back in the day. That wasn't THAT long ago yet he looks way different. It was a long time ago though, just not a super long time ago.
CheddarBob39 off the steroid injections for over a year because of WWF and Vince McMahon was on trial at the time. He's only 41 here so he looks good lean and young
@wrestledon Yes I am sure. He said he when was filming Thunder in Paradise he got down to around 240lbs. Look at him here, he's skinny as heck. He only claimed to be 275lbs when he came back to fight the Rock in 2002. And he was alot bigger then than here. Still 6'5.5" and 240lbs with almost zero body fat is pretty big. Like I said though, he was well over 300lbs at various points in his prime.
What does Hogan say to Leno at 2:00 mark? He laughs at Leno's joke, but for the life of me I can't understand what Hogan says back to Leno? Can anyone answer this because it's driving me crazy? Lol
Bobby Solorio not quite Bash at the Beach 94' is his WCW debut vs Flair during the steroid scandal of WWF. It was 96' bash at the beach when he turned heel
@AzEvanz Dwayne was listed 6'4 in college football (they always add extra height so NFL have your attention) he's about 6'3 barefoot, he was also listed 6'3 in his new movie... case closed. Hogan was same height at him at WM18, with a footwear advantage... hogan was 6'4 peak and is 6'3 today. there's no evidence of any major height loss
Interview with Hogan in Impact magazine in the UK in 94. He said he got down to 235lbs in 94. Looks 10lbs or so heavier here. I met him in 2014, he was still massive. Prob 6’3.5 but ridiculously large. Freakishly big. He never looks it on TV. I’d guess he was 6’5-ish here.
@@zackvanhalen Oh ok, also I didn't even realize when I replied to this that you posted this 9 years ago, so thanks for replying, most just fade away and don't reply back.👍
Hogan is the only guy in history who could pull off wearing spandex with cowboy boots.
Philip Bland Don’t forget Macho Man.
David Lee Roth maybe
@@travismcdonald6576 "Oh Yeaaaa"
Its so weird that hogan looked younger in 1993-1996 then he did in 1984-1988.
Less drugs
Because in the early 90's he got off the steroids after the scandal in WWF
In the 80s he was Geetered to the gills with Cocaine and Roids. Right here he's off of both. Hogan was in the ionosphere in the late 80s with Randy Savage.
It's because he lost a lot of weight here
Less of a grueling work schedule helped too.

hulk was In great shape here
He was off steroids. I thought he looked much better myself.
Hogan was a frequent visitor on arsenio. Even he could tell which way the wind was changing.
Hogan with his red and yellow gear. I like that.
Who would have believed it at this point if someone told you in just 4 years these two would be wrestling each other in the ring?
Love the Hulk! Hulkamania for life!
rockys201 exactly brother
He shook the black mans hand he is not a racist.
All the stuff he did with Mr. T in the 80s he isn't a racist.

@Cheryl oh yeah!!👍💪🤠
Believe it or not, I actually thought Hogan looked younger here in 1994 than he did at the height of Hulkamania in 1990/91! ;*(
Yeah, right there with u bro. I thought so too. In fact I actually started realizing this when the hulkster made his debut in WCW

Lack of juice will do that.
Just four years before the feud with DDP, Mailman and Leno himself :)
Hulk looks Great here
"I'm gonna get him in there and show him"
4 years later Leno and Hogan have a program together 😂
lol
The guy sitting next Hogan is Franklin Ajaye. He played Neil Diamond's best friend, in "The Jazz Singer".
0:18 talk about foreshadowing...
What Hulk doesn't realize is that Linda told on herself during that conversation
98 road wild they wrestle each other
Hulk hogan around 1994 thuder in paradise was just 1 season
Hulk Hogan is still on great shape
Love him or hate him, but Hogan was a master here
I will always be a hulk Hogan fan
🔥🔥
Wow, Jay Leno did an awful job here. Credit to Hogan for continuing like a pro.
rw98
I like Leno but sometimes he irritating because he keeps cutting off the guest. He still does it nowadays with his UA-cam channel
He's always like this. He's a shit interviewer

Good Stuff! Great interview with the Hulkster!
It was scary when Hogan suddenly slapped his hand really hard, and the sound of it filled the whole studio!!!!!!!! ;*(
He looked damn good here. I always thought he looked better slimmer. Grew up watching him and love him to this day.
he bulked up again later on , 1997 or so . looked huge in 97 compared to here
Yes healthy abd lean
🔥
The woman; that Hogan is talking about, had to be Sensational Sherri!
Thunder in Paradise. 90s Trash at its best. I loved this show.
Dude, I had a crush on Carol Alt for a year. lol
This is the tiny version of HH!
1994 was the year he went to WCW.
I grew up watching hulk Hogan Like when I 1st came out is Red and yellow and when he was with the nwoAnd when he came back as read in yellow He will always be my favorite wrestler
Hogan seemed like he could have been a successful 90's comedian
He was and still is the range of all the colours in the 90s xD
He was leaner in this time period. Taking off weight definitely makes you look younger.
So Linda was a gold digger from the very beginning.
Damn hulk was so skinny...id say 225 or so. He looked like a track and field runner rather than a heavyweight.
the hulkster looks roid free here
lol ya right
He was roid free here. It was right after the steroid scandal where he dropped a lot of weight. He began taking his "vitamins" again later :D
Mortgage Financing : Holy fucking shit you're stupid . Lol . You really think anyone that is the same shape Hogan was in this clip must be on steroids ? Stop smoking crack , you dumb bitch .
I'd not call him small fuckin hell 6ft6 270 that's massive ok not not big to his 330 in his prime even now walks around at 295 but still big hear

+willkittwk I'm with you. After the great Johnny Carson, Jay was easily the best and most engaging interviewer on Late Night.
I was a Hogan fan growing up, but I gotta say it looks like he got Christian Cage's legs here.
At 0:07 - 0:08, you can tell that table was SO gimmicked for it to fall apart when Jay flipped it like that!
+folger1 or it was just very cheep.... ?
I love the bit about George Foreman.
Hulk Hogan is my hero, he has ben my hero for more than 3 dakeds. I love wathcing wrestling on tv espechely wen Hulk Hogan is there.
1:18 We desperately need all of Thunder in paradise! Heck I'd live with a VHS version of the show. Only the 3 two-parter movies are on dvd. NOW! I think internationally there is a release, as they is a bootleg online.
I liked this, he actually seems like a cool guy to chill with! Back then anyways..
Cool guy unless you are an up and coming wrestler lol.
@@BrokeNerfing not true
Still is I bet.
Hogan looks in great shape here
41 year old terry bollea
4 years later these two wrestled on pay per view 😂
Huh
In happier times . . . .
Little did we know then how Hulk's kids would turn out
Hulk Hogan looked bigger when he was on the Arsenio Hall show.,
yea but his arms looked biggest on Johnny Carson
Off the steroids
He looks so young here
I liked the tonight show when johnny was hosting--jay was good too--i like to see the set look like johnnys.
Hogan looked so young, lean and healthy here! ;*( It's a shame he couldn't have stayed off the roids for good at this point!! ;*(
4 years later... these two men would wrestle each other on PPV. Whoa.
He did stay off the roids. He never got bigger after this point, to the present day.
@@husqua5362 yup he was huge again when he went back to WWF in 2001.
Hogan is so slimmed down here. And the WCW Hogan branding was all wrong. Just something off about it
Does anyone know where I can get those boots?!??!?
Greatest wrestlers. 1. Macho Man 2. Hogan 3. Ric Flair 4. Ultimate Warrior 5. Steve Austin
low and behold 4 years later Leno was in the main event.
Funny how Hulk Hogan invited Jay Leno to get in the ring only 4 years later they would face each other. lol
Two Years earlier the Incredible Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior appeared at WWF Wrestle Mania 8. Go back and watch the tape.
Lmao when hogan didn’t understand what Leno had said. Hogan 4 life brother!!
Hulk looks ripped here.
He was small here, coming off the steroids trials. And not juicing really took its toll on his muscles and body
small? you an idiot
HH is definitely not small. probably just changed his diet and training which is why he's a bit thinner. still about 6'7,300lb. Definitely not small.
+MrPernell27 and no steroids. He's 275 here
Hulk was NEVER 6'7". Billed weight and height is always wrong. Hulk is 6'4" tops.
+Blake Hardy nonsense! HH is taller than Scott Hall and he's at least 6'4
Hulkamania is still running wild
Hogan had slimmed down a lot from his WWF days.
What happened with those 24inch arms?. Are they gone???
God I played lion with my Russian sweetheart for hours and hours and we loved it.. Especially she... she just could not get enough of me...

July 12th, 1994.
look at jay's hair!
