Better to say it to him than to say it to Dr. Death Steve Williams lol. Or Vader if you have a nice coffee table.
These guys take a beating 200-300 days a year. They don’t get paid enough money IMO. These guys are amazing athletes.
I met him in Calgary at a Stampede event. He was real bloated. He told me to stay in shape brother. Only cost me 250$ with photo lol
I remember him hanging out on occasion at a local bar in Florida that was on my beach in the mid to late 70's. Just some big young guy named Terry that was sometimes around learning from veterans of the business that we all knew. He was almost shy. I did not see at the time what he was going to become. Wrestling was some rough shit in those days. You had to be tough as nails to survive. Five shows a week. No time to recover, and they definitely got hurt on a regular basis.
Hogan is such an American Icon. Recognizable anywhere, even if you don't follow wrestling.
For the money, brother

@@ibeethatoneguy7807 Money wasn't "good". He was divorce-raped by his greedy wife back in the early 2000's
After his divorce and his ex got the boyfriend that was as old as his daughter he made the “I understand OJ” comment. Then Linda put a restraining order against him saying Hulk threatened her life. But I agree and understand Hulks comment about OJ. Sacrifice your body and spend your life saving. Then your ex gets it. Gets a new boyfriend and spends that money on him. See him riding around town in the car you bought spending the money you earned the hard way. Yeah you’d go crazy too. Especially on yourself for not having a prenup. But you were in love and she’s like our love is real and we’ll never be break up. But it’s like Martin Lawrence said when he got in an argument with a female heckler. If you go in a relationship with millions and all she brings in is a purse a prenup should be mandatory.
320 matches a year, 320 leg drops a year. Basically from what, 84-92? Probably does a number on the spine

#Respect to Hulk for not taking the bait on "You are the GOAT" He didn't take the opportunity to put himself over
Hogan did what almost all Americans do. He spent every dollar he made, plus borrowed every cent a bank would let him have. He just made a lot more, spent a lot more and borrowed a lot more than the average person is capable of doing.
Can you guys just start uploading the full interviews? At least on Sirius...

"Yea it was in my spine...... Spinal"
Without watching, I'm guessing the answer is money
This is ten years old looks like it was filmed last week
If it was fake he couldn't be injured I went in 2015 saw a wrestling match live for the first time I was amazed.
It's from lifting so many weights - doing such intense upper-body workouts. The BONES in his back were not capable of handling the loads he was imposing on them!

Imagine doing your job, end up with 8 back surgeries, and people still telling if it's fake? Must make them angry in pain.
Why don't they just release the whole interviews instead of these 5 minute clips? All the Howard TV material is years old to begin with.

There was a real problem with cocaine use and steroids at the old WWF. Some wrestlers pissed away a lot of money during that period before Vince McMahon cleaned up shop.

I like him for being a part of PW's history but his ego was always something out of this world.
