      If you listen to Shultz's interview, he claims Hogan was insecure and afraid that Shultz would take liberty and really try to beat and humiliate Hogan. It's hard to believe everything wrestlers say because sometimes it's a work, but I could believe that. I know Hogan wrestled Shultz once on Saturday Night's Main Event, but don't recall any other matches. Hogan probably didn't want to work with Shultz because of his insecurities. Who knows the real truth?

D was to go out there and cut a foul mouthed SCSA type of promo it would have all been over. Time was not right.

      @@streetsofsouthphilly Nobody believes, or ever really believed, that they were actually fighting. It’s a show, like a movie or stage play. the wrestlers maintain kayfabe out of respect for the business, but also out of respect for the fans. It’s a couple of men in their underpants fake fighting, right? Suspension of disbelief is part of the show.
      So if the wrestlers were to laugh in your face about it afterwards, that would be disrespectful. In this respect, they maintain the illusion for the sake of the fans.

    Greg Valentine with the real talk. He was a badass and not to be played with. Also remember his father, Johnny Valentine was not the one to screw around with. That was in the days when the wrestlers actually did grapple as much as they staged.

    I always loved his matches. To me he was always believable but watching these interviews... He is a straight to the point without an ego wrestler that cared about the business... However, I read or heard that if you took liberties on him that he didn't approve, he would stretched you in the ring and really mess you up. He was tough in a world of tough men and respected.
