Sued him for that?? Of course, a cash grab. Beltzer was a little bitchy wimp. He asked for this. People who are antagonists are pathetic. They provoke, and antagonize. When they hit the person's berserk button, and get what they've been asking for, they cry and insist they're innocent little angels. Bullshit. Beltzer had it coming. LOSER!

I got passed out like that once. When I was out I found myself walking under a bright street lamp in a very dark street.

@@frankleaney6267 bro for once I honestly don't think Hogan was in the wrong here. Beltzer was being an antagonistic dick the entire show and then was mocking them asking to show a hold giving undertones that they the biz was fake and harmless; and I genuinely don't think Hulk Hogan knew he was out cold because R.B wasn't able to really give a proper tab/sub At least Hulskter helped him get back up and get his bearings lmao. Those light smacks to the face always make me lol
If he asked for the choke, then fine, but choking him out and dropping him from that height could have killed him if he hit his head hard enough. Hogan knew that and he didn't care. Ya'll are joking about it because you're too stupid to know any better, but it was dangerous af.
"I was in shock and didn't know where I was". And yet I knew I was on a TV show and told the audience, "We'll be right back after this word from you know who."
Well yeah that isn't totally unheard of similar things can happen if someone has a seizure, open waking up the first few seconds is very confusing until the brain snaps back to it. I had it once when accidently overdosing on painkillers
If this was after David Shultz slapped an interviewer down, then Hulk should have known better and decline the demonstration The WWF was sued over the David Shultz slap. He usually has better business sense, although he's had lapses (for example the sex tapes which led to the gawker lawsuit).
You still have to realize the mentality of guys in this generation of wrestling was to protect and respect the business. Even Hogan was trained this way. His first day in Hiro Matsuda's wrestling school involved him getting his leg broke.
@@bigdrew565 exactly. Richard belzer was making a mockery of the business and he really did push/press the issue it didn't need to go there and Hulk took it easy on him
@@InsShogunGage that was Belzer's act back then. I guess enough people felt it funny enough that he rated an HBO special and a talk show. Not me, though. I didn't mind seeing Hogan put his lights out.
@@bigdrew565 I get what you’re saying but, hogan was being trained, he was trying to be a wrestler. Even with Hogan choking him out he shouldn’t have let him hit the floor. You can demonstrate a move without hurting someone.
Wrong dude, Hogan ego got in the way Hogan could have applied pressure and let him go or he could have choked him out and sat him down. I’ve sparred and wrestled with pro athletes and they never took it this far because they have self control and they knew what they could do to me. Other wrestlers said that Hogan had an ego problem
didn’t have to drop an unconscious person onto the floor, letting his head smack the stage. Hogan lacks the “professional” part of that term. never had it never will.
In their defense, both guys, understand that they were both young, when this occurred. I am sure both guys have matured and gotten past this incident. I happen to think Richard Belzer is a damn fine actor. it is clear, he must be doing something right, he continues to stay on TV. Remember, he was one of the stars on Homicide: Life on the Street, Law and Order, Law and Order: SVU, and numerous other tv shows. He was also a movie actor. This was just a terrible time for both guys.
The way that Belzer's neck snapped back when Hogan released the hold and considering how hard the back of Belzer's head hit the floor-he was extremely lucky that he was able to get stitched up and suffered no lasting effects.
This was so bad what Hogan did, I thought at first it was staged. But looking at it I am not sure. I am going to say Hogan really did something this dangerous.
The little jerk was talking sh!t, and he didn't tap. He tells the story like he is a tough guy putting these guys in their place but what happened was he taunted the bull and got the horns. Why would you have Mr T on your show if you were going to pick apart the character he is playing. Everyone knows Mr T was all show and no go, you didn't need to call him out like you are some kind of reputable journalist exposing the lie. Stfu
Just because we couldn't see any blood doesn't really mean there was no blood. The dude does have a full head of hair, it's very likely some blood was absorbed. I'm not saying he wasn't being a dick, I'm just saying that little possibility.
I saw the other interviews. He didn't mention anything backstage prior to the incident or when he was in the hospital in those.. Hogan was a dick who got baited.. You're gonna kill a dude cause he used a partially intelligent word you didn't know?

I feel you but there are a lot of tv host that ask athletes to do stuff like this, Hogan took it too far. I’ve seen reports ask Tyson to demonstrate a punch combo on them but Tyson didn’t go all out and knock them out….he shadowed boxed or walked them through the combo and just pointed out spots on their body that he would hit, and he placed his fist on their body lol he didn’t go ok I’ll show you 100% body head body lmao
@@deautrs79 No, Hogan didn't take it too far at all, if anything he was extraordinarily gentle. That was a basic Wrestling 101 hold, Hulk cinched it in to make it a bit uncomfortable but there was no way Belzer should have gone out that quickly. Reason he did was because he was presumably coked up to the gills, Belzer was a noted fan of the 80s party scene, the coke had pushed his heart rate up significantly, and when your heart goes like that and you're put in a headlock it tends to put you out like a light switch. Hulk let him go like that because he didn't realize Belzer was unconscious, most people wouldn't be.
@@FerretJohn I see what you’re saying but your heart rate going up because of drugs and your wind pipe being cute off are two different things also because Hogan is a pro he should know how a limp body feels when someone is in a standing choke hold. I could see if they were on the ground but come on man I could also see if it was an MMA fight and his adrenaline was pumping and the person is trying to fight back, that’s also different because you’re trying to purposely choke the person out when in that position Hogan knew what he was doing
Tom no the fuck it isn't. He 100% asked for it. I've seen the original clip where he asked for a demonstration. And he never even tapped for Hogan to stop.. What self-respecting man doesn't know that rule? beltzer is a typical self-victimizing little Jew boy.
He 100% asked for a demonstration, or he asked to have a professional wrestler twice his size to cause him bodily harm? Why would he tap if it was just a friendly demonstration? Belzer is not in the business and should't feel the need to protect himself from someone who is. Hogan knew exactly what he was doing and took it too far. As Belzer stated, he was unconscious in Hogan's arms, which is pretty evident. Hard to tap out when you're immobilized.
Joseph, I know hes a lot stronger than Belzer. But im very experienced in how headlocks work, trust me friend, I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years. In class, Black Belts do demonstrations on beginners all the time, theres nothing wrong with it. He was expecting Belzer to tap him to stop if/when he needed him to. instead, Belzer the little girl just passes out, probably because he didn't want to feel like a wimp for tapping out on his own show, and he paid for it. If Hogan wanted to, he could've choked him out very quickly by applying more pressure, that's not what he did. belzer had more than enough time but failed to alert Hogan to stop.
We might all be commenting from Belzer's afterlife. Letting him fall that way on that floor, was probably worse hit than Bob Sagat's fall. Belzer's wake up reaction actually very funny. Meanwhile universe really cleaned Bollea's mess.
@@TheFailedmessiah $400,000 is the minimum he received. He sued Hogan for 5 million, and Hogan claimed the settlement was actually 5 million. So could have been more, maybe not. Even still, that 400k then would be around 900k today.
@Phyoomz Conor McGregor threw dollies at busses injuring people including women, beat up an old man in a bar for refusing his Whiskey, and hasn't spent a day in jail. Depends on who the person is apparently
The first, and last time Hogan put a normie in a wrestling hold Belz asked for that smoke, and he got smoked. What's he complaining about? He got all the publicity in the world! Before that, nobody knew he even had a show!
RIP to the man. But, Belzer was a weird "comic", more of a humorist. Never really did anything funny and after this controversy he went to dramatic acting.
It seems that Hogan was already mad at Belzer for arguing with Mr. T. So when he performed that headlock on him, Hogan figured this is his chance to get even.
This little weasel begged for a move to be demonstrated on him. Did Hogan apply too much force of course he did but I don't think he thought it would knock him out, he would have held him up rather than just release him IMO. The moral is don't ask for a 300lb wrestler to place you in a hold.
So I don't like Belzer. At all. But its very clear, whether it was obvious or not, that Hulk Hogan not only decided to a sleeper hold but just let him drop. That's where the fault lies...not how stupid he was in his interaction, or how bad a host he is, or that his retelling is not accurate. You injure someone, you're liable. Period.
thanks for making a reasonable comment. so many people have really weird opinions on this situation from reading the comment section. He let a guy drop who he had obviously knocked out onto the hard floor. He was the 'pro' wrestler who should have known better than to put a sleeper hold on a 100 pound dude.
Hogan didn’t let him drop, he loosened the hold but the guys body weight made him slide out and fall. Hogan didn’t know he went out. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
Right. He should've punched him in his face instead of doing the safest thing. Hogan should've known that Belzer was the weakest person to ever live apparently.
To everyone who is trying to exculpate Hogan -- after watching the footage, what was or wasn't said is irrelevant. You must proffer that Hulk Hogan doesn't know what the human head is for.
I would like to see a special anniversary encounter between these two... And Hogan could do us a favor and finish the job. Funny how THIS was the biggest thing in Belzer's entire career... Figures.
Guess he proved Mr. T right about that New York comment
Yea New York full of them lol they got a snitch for a mascot
All is well until you get shot in the clavicle by a 14 year old
Hogan never asked him to do the hold.

You're right. Belzer insisted. He wouldn't let it go. On top of that, he was being a total dick to Hogan and Mr. T. The small hat lies again.

Reason he did was because he was presumably coked up to the gills, Belzer was a noted fan of the 80s party scene, the coke had pushed his heart rate up significantly, and when your heart goes like that and you're put in a headlock it tends to put you out like a light switch. Hulk let him go like that because he didn't realize Belzer was unconscious, most people wouldn't be.
@@FerretJohn I see what you’re saying but your heart rate going up because of drugs and your wind pipe being cute off are two different things also because Hogan is a pro he should know how a limp body feels when someone is in a standing choke hold. I could see if they were on the ground but come on man I could also see if it was an MMA fight and his adrenaline was pumping and the person is trying to fight back, that’s also different because you’re trying to purposely choke the person out when in that position Hogan knew what he was doing
5 Million he got for that .........the show: Hot Properties- March 27, 1985 (partial) - UA-cam
Wow!
@@jimmyc6686 I recall Hogan saying it was more like $500,000 that Belzer got.
He got a house on the French Riviera because of this. I wouldn't have given him a nickle. What a crybaby.
You don't have one because you can't even spell "nickel."
This is assault, battery, personal endangerment etc.
Tom no the fuck it isn't. He 100% asked for it. I've seen the original clip where he asked for a demonstration. And he never even tapped for Hogan to stop.. What self-respecting man doesn't know that rule? beltzer is a typical self-victimizing little Jew boy.
He 100% asked for a demonstration, or he asked to have a professional wrestler twice his size to cause him bodily harm? Why would he tap if it was just a friendly demonstration? Belzer is not in the business and should't feel the need to protect himself from someone who is. Hogan knew exactly what he was doing and took it too far. As Belzer stated, he was unconscious in Hogan's arms, which is pretty evident. Hard to tap out when you're immobilized.
Joseph, I know hes a lot stronger than Belzer. But im very experienced in how headlocks work, trust me friend, I did Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for over 6 years. In class, Black Belts do demonstrations on beginners all the time, theres nothing wrong with it. He was expecting Belzer to tap him to stop if/when he needed him to. instead, Belzer the little girl just passes out, probably because he didn't want to feel like a wimp for tapping out on his own show, and he paid for it. If Hogan wanted to, he could've choked him out very quickly by applying more pressure, that's not what he did. belzer had more than enough time but failed to alert Hogan to stop.
Justin MZ Hogan is a professional ... he should kno not to actually choke the guy out..
He’s such a tool
We might all be commenting from Belzer's afterlife. Letting him fall that way on that floor, was probably worse hit than Bob Sagat's fall. Belzer's wake up reaction actually very funny. Meanwhile universe really cleaned Bollea's mess.
How do people spend like 6 mill in a year? That would last me a lifetime easy
+Watery Squirt By buying things most of us have no intention of buying.
He bought a giant house in France.
It was only 400k I think. That was settlement out of court.
@@TheFailedmessiah $400,000 is the minimum he received. He sued Hogan for 5 million, and Hogan claimed the settlement was actually 5 million. So could have been more, maybe not. Even still, that 400k then would be around 900k today.
"he started channeling Farrakhan"??? That's a hell of a racist comment.😂😂
He's so full of shit and twisted the entire story!!!!
I give him credit for taking the bump. imagine what would happen now a days.
really, Hogan would be in jail. lol
@Phyoomz Conor McGregor threw dollies at busses injuring people including women, beat up an old man in a bar for refusing his Whiskey, and hasn't spent a day in jail. Depends on who the person is apparently
"I had a dream I was a real man and not a snot-nosed fuck-stick who was literally broken in half in under 15 seconds..... then I woke up."
Hahaha
You put someone in a sleeper and they go out it doesn't matter how tough you are and yeah 15 seconds is all it takes.
Belzer is a liar....he egged it on, got over his head and paid the price....rip
People like this guy forget that your mouth can/will get you in trouble and that people don't have to be screaming angry to be violent.
Omg the same jokes in every vid I watch with this guy.
literally show biz is in my blood its on my jacket its on the floor hurr hurr what a douchebag lol
Vince covered half the cost didn't even get his name on the house
Who is Richard Belzer
The first, and last time Hogan put a normie in a wrestling hold
Belz asked for that smoke, and he got smoked.
What's he complaining about? He got all the publicity in the world!
Before that, nobody knew he even had a show!
Hulk hogan's face when he's see the back of dudes head is like OH SHIT😮
It says a lot about a man to sue another man for getting choked out in what was meant to be a lighthearted gimmick.
People should know their own strength and know when to dial it back or Hogan shouldn't have demonstrated anything.
The fact this has 14 thumbs up is astounding.
RIP to the man. But, Belzer was a weird "comic", more of a humorist. Never really did anything funny and after this controversy he went to dramatic acting.
Bruh, you literally begged Hogan to put you in the hold while live on TV.
It seems that Hogan was already mad at Belzer for arguing with Mr. T. So when he performed that headlock on him, Hogan figured this is his chance to get even.
Get even!!!!😅
This guy is so accurate on being put to sleep time changes...
Typical Hollywood Democrat I watch the video with my own eyes and bellsher story was the exact opposite
The jerk was asking for it! He should feel lucky, because he actually got off alot easier than he should have.
lol I 100% agree
There's only one person at fault here... One guy was forced to do something he didn't even want to do ... Ill give you one hint brother!
Beltzer is a tool He left comedy for a reason
That's that's why I hulk Hogan dropped him because he was talking alot of stuff out his mouth judging them because of their career choices.
He got what he deserves
congratulations, you're first steps in becoming a man
Hulk forgot he was not on a canvas floor in the ring. But a hard concrete floor.
Dude got his head cracked open and still comes on national television to be a complete smart ass about it
That was so unprofessional Hogan.
Belzer didn't know how to tap out.
OH FUCK BROTHER!!! LAWSUIT DUDE!!
This little weasel begged for a move to be demonstrated on him. Did Hogan apply too much force of course he did but I don't think he thought it would knock him out, he would have held him up rather than just release him IMO. The moral is don't ask for a 300lb wrestler to place you in a hold.
He said He was Channeling Farrakan
So I don't like Belzer. At all. But its very clear, whether it was obvious or not, that Hulk Hogan not only decided to a sleeper hold but just let him drop. That's where the fault lies...not how stupid he was in his interaction, or how bad a host he is, or that his retelling is not accurate. You injure someone, you're liable. Period.
thanks for making a reasonable comment. so many people have really weird opinions on this situation from reading the comment section. He let a guy drop who he had obviously knocked out onto the hard floor. He was the 'pro' wrestler who should have known better than to put a sleeper hold on a 100 pound dude.
Hogan didn’t let him drop, he loosened the hold but the guys body weight made him slide out and fall. Hogan didn’t know he went out. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
Correct it was the dropping onto to the floor. He did that on purpose and he knew Belzer was out. "Hogan" was a trained pro.
Right. He should've punched him in his face instead of doing the safest thing. Hogan should've known that Belzer was the weakest person to ever live apparently.
To everyone who is trying to exculpate Hogan -- after watching the footage, what was or wasn't said is irrelevant. You must proffer that Hulk Hogan doesn't know what the human head is for.
Vince McMahon wasnt gonna fire his Golden Goose. Dr D. Schultz wasnt so lucky........
I would like to see a special anniversary encounter between these two... And Hogan could do us a favor and finish the job. Funny how THIS was the biggest thing in Belzer's entire career... Figures.
You know he was on Law & Order SVU for like 17 years right?
Geeksiders Ahh... Big deal... He still can't apply a good camel clutch! Lol.
Haha! Very true
Isnt he dead
Keegan Scales nope. He's 73 and still kickin
Easy pay day, should have had the hulkster over for holiday weekends at Chez Hogan to show appreciation
You can hear his neck bones crack as Hogan applies pressure.
