I attempt to look at the fall of Hulk Hogan told throughout his career. From his time in WCW and Hogan in the NWO. To Hogan in TNA and his eventual demise. Hulk Hogan's rise to become a legend is full of exciting wrestling stories and some dark secrets which the Hulkster would probably rather we all forgot.

Linda: I want a divorce!
Hogan: that's not gonna work for me brother!
They will be reunited in hell, both vile human beings their parents should have worn condoms.
"Jesse Ventura was a governor and I've always been better, so I'm gonna be president."
Classy dude. And to his credit, Jesse Ventura first went into politics at a lower level (town mayor) and got a lot of name recognition and experience before running for governor. Hogan just showed himself to be made of hot air.
Also Jesse thought that it was better to be a 'public servant' and only did one term, despite assurance he would get in again. He thinks exactly the opposite of the power hungry, hypocritical Hogan. Imagine him running a state. He would be a puritanical, egotistical bigot. Makes you shiver! 😂
@@mccarthy5825 Dude offered to be Donald's VP. Tells you all you need to know. Man is a twat.
Hogan is made of rotten farts he stinks from 500 miles away.
Absolute Chad lmao
With his lies and massive ego, he would fit right in.
Hulk Hogan is the Steven Seagal of wrestling.
@Donnell Okafor Yeah, I'm sure a lot of 12yr olds know who Steven is. Also, you're using "smh" and you are calling me a child? Yeah, ok.
What's 12 yr old about my comment? It's the truth. Steven lies about all his history, just like Hogan does.
Maybe you should invest in a mirror and work on your fan boying.
Nah, Hulk maybe a cockbite, but Seagal is a monster.
Hulk Hogan is sitting on a lot more money than Seagal.
For one thing, that Gawker money can let him pass the remainder of his life as ridiculous as he can want to. He literally double his career earnings off that lawsuit.
@@lk5388 They're both liars and embellishers.
Perfect description.
Hogan is his own biggest fan and I was a kid in the 80s and when I tell you no one I knew liked Hogan. We were all fans of Jake the Snake and anyone who was against Hogan (mainly Warrior)
Blah blah blah. You don’t get any cool points for lying with the revisionist history. Everyone all the sudden was a macho or warrior fan during this time period. Why didn’t you die hards purchase merch, tix, etc when they were on top? Yes hogan is a POS but stop with this we never liked hogan shot during his prime. It’s false
I was a big fan of Jake Roberts, too. Also Roddy Piper. Hulkamania made me stop watching wrestling for about 20 years. I just couldn't stand Hogan's character or his overly predictable matches.
If you weren't there in '84, then you may not be able to understand the impact he had on wrestling back then. He was invincible for 5 years or so. The Andre angle was when it got to be too much for me. It was heartbreaking to watch wrestlemania 3. Andre's health issues weren't really publicly known then, but the look on his face...painful. Back to hogan-he was perfect for the time. I can't honestly think of any other wrestler who could have been "Hulk Hogan" back then. Just big enough to not be a freakshow, but big enough to beat anybody and make it believable. He cut some of the best promos ever. Vince has been trying to recapture that power ever since. Roman reigns sure ain't it.
HULK RULES
@@seanbarnes1151Stone Cold surpassed Hogan by light years Vince trying to recreate Austin
Hogan did a lot of heel things that just got ignored during his red and yellow run.
hey, the match with Shawn Michaels, Hogan was asking for.. you can't fault Michaels for being the equal to Hogan's ego.. he deserved it
Ideal a part 3. I wasn’t expecting a part 3 as I thought you covered the Hulkster’s career better in the first 2 parts than most channels too
Another part of his downfall is his stupid leg drop. God imagine having to take a 3 count and losing your title because the guy u faced gave u a leg drop 🤩
Bruh I always thought that was a dumbass move😂😭
Literally
Or a peoples elbow or a moonsault or a elbow from the top rope do u watch wrestling so many stupid signature moves lol
@@waffleman6666 in Rock’s defense, the Rock Bottom is the true finisher. People’s Elbow was just an insult on the way out.
@@waffleman6666 A diving elbow drop at least has the added impact of a person reaching a greater degree of velocity since they're leaping from several feet worth of elevation onto the opponent, same with a moonsault press. That's a person's body weight crashing down on you from that added height of the corner post plus whatever their vertical leap is. Is it sensical for a real fight? No, but in wrestling logic, I get it.
I guess the logic behind Hogan's leg drop is that he's a 300+ pound man dropping his body weight on your chest or neck from a jump, which would still kind of suck
I got to meet Hulk Hogan once.....Let me tell you that famous saying "never meet your heros" is so true. He was such an asshole. I was already grown, but he broke my heart like I was 8 years old again. It was at a "Hooters" in Fairfax Virginia by George Mason University. Snubbed my buddy and I when we tried to show love and say whats up to him. I was crushed, dude.
You were probably just being obnoxious fans. But f hogan
Idk that sounds like kts more on you. Just because you see them doesnt mean they want to be approached
Ljll770😅p@@odolwa1
^ Neither of you know the story but rush to judgment
I heard the term hotdogging first from Macho Man Randy Savage. Since he was talking about Hogan, I wondered if it was a reference to his leathery skin tone, like that of a hot dog and the fact that he wore the colors of probably the two most common hotdog condiments. Though it's probably just a fun coincidence.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad u did this series
That breakdown at 1:20 was amazing. You broke down exactly why I was never a fan of Hogan.
Echo that. Same story here.
Y'all don't get it.
He saved America and slew a giant.
We would all be dead if it wasn't for him!
He wasn't as tall as Andre as heavy as Yokozuna and his movies sucked. He is the most charismatic wrestler ever and was a massive draw in his prime. Hulk Hogan is the greatest attraction in professional wrestling ever.
Fucking flamed him lmfao
Same.
Are you sure Hogan wasn’t fighting Foreman over the licensing rights for the George Foreman Grill since missed the call from the company originally
Prayers for Scott Hall aka Razor Ramon
🙏🙏🙏
Just read they're going to take him off the life support. I've been a fan of Scott since he was Big Scott Hall tagging with Curt Hennig in AWA. RIP Big Man!
He was alive even the first two comments were made
He's been dead for years.
@@RemoWilliams1227 Hulkster it that you lying again?
Saying that Bruno was a bigger draw than Hogan is a big stretch. If you mean solely in Los Angeles and the North Eastern corner of the US and in Bruno´s absolute top years, perhaps you can call the statement true. But Hulk was a worldwide phenomenon and as for Bruno, even most wrestling fans in North America either hadn´t heard about him or couldn´t care less about him, because he never wrestled in their local territory and mostly stuck to wrestling in the cities, where he was already over big time. Outside of the US, it´s not even a competition between the two.
When Hogan turned heel, it would have been perfect time for him to have a new finishing move. It would have made him more over with the fans also.
Hogan is the ultimate heel, he convinced millions that he is good, I could tell he was rotten and vile from the start
And would have saved his back from more torment
Good God, looking at the aftermath of Nick Hogans car crash- how tf did he survive that!? They weren't even wearing seatbelts either. That's crazy.
Hulk Hogan... The larger than life hero stronger than anyone in the world... The true real American hero .. using the basic most overwhelming move ever as a finisher... A freaking leg drop. I mean come on. They really couldn't be anymore creative?
That's what always got me.....I'm an adult now, I see things different. If another wrestler did a leg drop, it wouldn't have just finished the guy off. It would be a nothing move. How many times has someone pulled off a camel clutch in the middle of a match, or a press slam, or a top rope elbow, etc (you get it) and it didn't result in a win? All that being said though, a fckn LEG DROP??!?!
If you weren't a little kid in the 80s (like I was) there is no way you would ever understand why Hulk Hogan was the most popular wrestler in the world at that time. Don't even bother trying to understand it. You never will. Just move on.
Agreed!
This narrator guy has absolutley no clue
He was also more of a cultural phenomenon. He steered the course of a generation of little hulksters. Wrestling never becomes what it is today without Hogan.
Hulk Hogan will always be more than just the sum of his parts.
I'm not the biggest Hogan fan either. Simply because of his out of the ring lies and non-sense.
But, his overall significance in the Wrestling sphere can never be overstated. He is amongst the very select FEW most important pro wrestlers of all time.
@@jamesdjl4359 Same here. Not the biggest Hogan fan either but I will never deny just how significant he was to the mainstream success of pro wrestling. I loved him as a kid though!
I agree, I made a comment about Goldberg and his career hasn't aged well with all these RUclips channels now but the originality was something else
Man , I can relate. I'm 29 and when I used to watch wrestling hogan was the last guy I watched. Hall was my favorite. Nash was amazing. Shawn Michaels. Edge. Jeff Hardy those were my guys
That's because you're 29 son.
Hogan wasn't even working for the WWE when you were watching, dumdum. 😹
The OSW shout at the beginning made me smile!
I marked out
The real boy stable
most of his career, he got a slap on the wrist, except for Vince Sr, who fired him, because he didnt want Hogan to do the Rocky movie, hence he went to AWA, when Vince Jr bought out his father, he brought Hogan back and he was more than willing to comeback, after the treatment from Greg Gagne, maybe old Greg was right about Hogan
One of the best thing Hogan ever did was destroying Gawker.
I grew up watching wrestling in the 80's, Hulk Hogan was huge no doubt about it. I liked him a bit but I was drawn more to Randy Savage, Greg Valentine and Roddy Piper in the WWF. Randy was the first wrestler to WOW me. Hogan was the biggest face and changed the business forever.
He came at a perfect time when the Iron Sheik was so big as a heel. Especially with all that iran stuff going on in the early '80s, and then Hogan was the All-American hero to beat him. That's what really launched him
this needs way more recognition , keep grinding.
Thank you
One of the most interesting ironies of Hogan to me is how he was always the master politician in protecting his interests at basically every stage of his career and clearly was always primarily focused on doing what was best for his personal interest even if doing so may come at the expense to the company like we saw in the later years in WCW. The primary thought that comes to everybody’s mind when discussing Hogans reputation is how selfish he always was in how he always protected his best interest but what makes the guy so interesting to me is that while he was always so protective of himself he also was extremely loyal to his close friends in the business and would use his influence to take care of those people as well. When it comes to taking care of your crew in pro wrestling over the years I don’t think anybody did so at the extreme that Hogan always did which is always really interesting to me since it’s such a polar opposite of his usual selfish nature when looking out for himself. It probably doesn’t spike interest from other people but for me it’ll never not be an interesting thing to see a guy who is ruthless in protecting his role at all costs but was also incredibly selfless when it came to his crew in doing what he could to make sure they were always taken care of even for guys who clearly took advantage of him for years and were just leeching off the guy as much as they could while offering little in return in the friendship and how he knew it and allowed it anyways
I've said it before in a more comical fashion, but I'll reword it here. The amount of work that went into this series seems daunting to me, and I can certainly appreciate the work and the results. Let's pray none of us ever fall into the Hulkster's ways, save for one: his money
Thanks mate, I appreciate it

Yes, more people should aspire to be like Chris Benoit or The Dynamite Kid! Workrate!
@@r.josedefraga1205 yeah, dead doesn't sound so bad. I agree. Good idea!
@@markwrenn5965, jajaja, oh man, it’s best to just allow your comments to speak for themselves.
Just binge watched the Hogan Trilogy. Well done, fantastic work and well put together. One personal note, I'm in the same boat, but started watching at Wrestmainia III, yep I'm that old and never liked Hogan.
I've always liked the smaller workers who show skill, talent and workability over the big guys with a limited move set, so Hogan was always my antithesis of a true wrestwrestler

I was in Grade school/Middle school in the Heyday of Hogan's WWF run. I will admit I liked him just fine. I had other favorites, but he was fine in my opinion.
I was never a Hulk guy. Idk, I just never liked who everyone else did. I always wanted Daffy or Elmer Fudd to get the best of Bugs Bunny. I always wanted Michael Jordan to get beat. I always wished Hulk would lose. Now I'm glad I never liked him. He is truly a vile human being!
Glad you got what you wanted
@@WrestlePod You should have WAY more subscribers. I've subscribed from a couple different accounts. With content like this, there's no way you won't blow up eventually. Keep grinding!
This is a lesson in leaving well enough ALONE… Saying less is more… My only regret is i never got to see Hulkamoron in a sharpshooter…
You would’ve just had to have been there during the 80’s at the height of hulkamania. I can tell you there’s no other wrestler that has ever touched hulk hogans aura and legend. Words can never explain it. I really wish you were there to have experience it.
Yeah true. But you can't live in the past
@@pika23 true. I dig the attitude era as well. It’s just that nothing compares to the mania. No video can do it justice. I’m happy I experienced both.
If you were in Texas when the Von Erich brothers were at their peak, their huge popularity especially in DFW, was, in my view, perceptibly, or relatively just as important to World Class fans as Hulk was to WWF fans. Everyone knew who they were and everyone loved them
Hulk Hogan sold out every arena or stadium he wrestled in. He's the greatest
I was there and hogan sucked... one dimensional... lame AF
I watched wrestling in the mid 80s to early 90s (from about 6-12 years old). He wasn't my favorite, but he had wide appeal. When you heard the entrance music, you'd get excited. And the matches against King Kong Bundy and Andre The Giant are classic. Especially when you're like 6-7 years old.
Him *Mock'n* & *Passing* On The
*_"GEORGE FOREMAN GRILL"_* Was The Best *Smack* of *Karma* The *Sulkster* Ever Got 💯% 😂😂😂😂
I’m old enough for Hogan’s heyday and didn’t see why he was so adored
I’ll be honest, Hulk Hogan is what got me interested in professional wrestling. The first match I ever saw him in, to my chagrin especially with his comments a couple years ago, was him versus Johnny Roz! Let that sink in for a long time fans!
But as I got older, and still a fan of wrestling, I became more of a fan of guys like Sting, Ric Flair in the four Horsemen, Bret Hart, razor Ramon, and many others. Looking back, I wonder why I was ever a fan of Hogan’s to begin with. And I definitely didn’t care for him during my college years.
Hulk Hogan the character I will always give credit, the man behind the character though is a piece of trash!
@@EVGriffinJr he brought me in but I preferred others like Bret the hitman, ric flair etc.
If someone else were in Hogan’s place as the top guy, the same things would be said. For instance, I felt that same way about Bob Backlund at one time, as I questioned why he has such a long run. But then I started looking at things objectively and came to the realization that for each era, someone’s going to stand out above the rest and be “the guy”, and many of us are not always going to be in love with who the majority may favor.
And that’s alright, however, seeing videos like what WrestlePod puts out, it’s plain to see a lot of people commenting on here seem only capable of telling others how much they hate Hulk Hogan, which is sad. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t so much about defending Hogan as it is about observing how many people would rather just point out how much they hate Hogan instead of discussing and paying tribute to the performers they did like.
After all there are MANY other performers that we can speak about without even having to ever mention Hogan’s name.
@@r.josedefraga1205 Very well put. When I talk trash about Hulk Hogan, it’s usually the man behind the character. The character himself was a great success.
And yes, there are many others who politic just like he did. He was just one of the most notorious at it. What one could argue that without him, professional wrestling might not have been at the level it was in the 80s and in the 90s with the whole Monday night war thing.
Love Hulk Hogan but the most hilarious thing I've ever heard him say was the fans weren't looking at Ultimate warrior when he won but they were looking at Hulk Hogan leave the building.
thanks bruh
When he said hulkamania will live forever back in the 1980s and it's 2022 40 years later he's still alive and 50 former wrestlers are dead
Bret Hart is the GOAT. Fantastic video.
Best there is, best there was, best there ever will be
To be a fan of Hogan it's more understandable if you witnessed his rise as it happened. I was a fan but I was younger. I was a fan of most wrestlers though. Even the bad guys. I grew up in Memphis and got to see tons of live wrestling and even when WWF took off they had a deal with Memphis Wrestling to send their biggest stars down here to wrestle at our local events. It was entertaining at the time.
I was born 1991. You? It's hard to dislike Hogan
Being American is clearly a factor in hulk love.
So happy I found this channel love my UK Wrestling youtubers! Can't wait to go back and watch the whole of your content!
Glad you found me mate
Just like every other human,he had problems as well(personal especially).
Mate if you upgrade the production value, particularly the audio, this channel could be huge. The content is great! I love the theme and style of the thumbnails too
I'm not sure why the audio quality keeps slipping. I have a Rhode mic and a Scarlett box with a good room to record in, I think maybe the wire is damaged as I haven't changed anything but the audio quality has lowered. I need help as it's my biggest weakness ATM
@@WrestlePod you are doing the world a huge favor by exposing this walking cesspool brother. WOOOOO
We all heard Terry's stories about his ego problems and politics, low wrestling abilities, and how bad and back stabbing shark or a fckd up person he is in life but at the end of the day even we like it or not he's the one who putted wrestling on the map and he is the original face of it.. just his character name is the definition of pro wrestling:
"HULK HOGAN"
Your ARE correct kind sir. But I still don't like him. I admit when I was 6 or 7 I was a hulkmaniac. But once I hit 12 it was The Heartbreak kid all the way.!
I'm having trouble finding part 2, did something happen to it?
Great channel! Been subbed since the start of this series. I’ll say the climate changed much in this country from 80’s compared to 90’s. Hogan embodied a patriotic, God fearing white male who stood for good, fam & friends. He obviously was very different behind the scenes, but the character he played was beloved by all! When the 90s came and movies like terminator made bad guys cool that white meat baby face appeal died off. I can understand you not being a fan of Hogan if you didn’t experience the 80s. It was a much different time. Not saying it was better or worse, just different.
Also I would say Hogan was more patriotic than Duggan (who didn’t have the flag gimmick til well after Hogan did it) was more imposing than Ultimate Warrior (6’7 vs 6’1) and cut a slightly better promo than Macho (subjective, but us 80’s kids lost our fucking minds when Hogan came on tv and would be PISSED if he wasn’t on the program lol)
Just my $.02, great videos though! Very entertaining
Thanks for your different view points on these topics, I was being overly hyperbolic perhaps
@Wrestle Pod There’s the Zeitgeist element. It wasn’t just Hogan that was a pop phenom, it was more that the other elements of pop culture at that time built Hogan. Not being from the era, it’s entirely understandable that someone might not “get it”. I had a similar experience trying to explain to kids (and this was decades ago) why Power Rangers was stupid, especially compared to Voltron. Then, upon rewatching Voltron cartoons on a binge attempt, I realized it was pretty stupid, too. I couldn’t relate to the Power Rangers era, because I wasn’t part of it in that way, and I realized that Voltron was only cool in the timeframe in which it existed, too. It’s totally a “you had to be there” thing.
Amazing vid and series, keep them coming 👏👏👏👏
The tragedy of this whole story is the destruction of the Toyota Supra. rest in peace

Hulkamania was over because of marketing and timing. It was the same formula that worked for He-Man, GI Joe, etc around the same time: cartoons, cereal, toys, and eventually the movie that would be bomb financial. Hulk Hogan had a consistent color scheme (the red and yellow) and an easy-to-remember catch phase and was easy to market to kids back then. When you're 8 - 10 years old, you're not picking your favorite wrestle based on promo skills or work rate.
Yes...Bruno Sammartino, Ric flair, Bret hart, rick rude, roddy piper, Shawn Michaels, Steve Austin etc were all better wrestlers and had better promos than Hulk Hogans without argument but either they were popular before or after the 80s cartoons, cereal, toys, formula, or just weren't as marketable to kids at that time. Was a guy like Rick Rude who came out to stripper music and swiveling his hips like a Chippendale dancer going to be the face of a cartoon and cereal?
Like it or not Vince's plan to make pro wrestling more entertainment than wrestling worked. It made him and Hulk Hogan a lot of money.
Did you seriously just say bret hart, Shawn Michaels, and Rick rude had better promos? If ya don't like Hogan it's cool. I don't like him. But it's just crazy when people act like he wasn't incredibly charismatic and extremely good in the ring for the time.
Um did you watch Brett Harts promos in the 80s...they were awful same with Brunos lol. Hogan did have skills watch his matches in Japan and in the AWA he had to work. He would if never got over without it. The low workrate formula worked in the 80s because he was charismatic and had the best promos at the time. I can always tell when someone is drinking the Brett Hart Kool aid
Hogan has his flaws but he could definitely cut a promo and connect with the crowd. Every bit as charismatic as the best in the business.
Absolutely agree
It feels so good to hear someone else say exactly what I have always said about Hulk!!! Thank god I am not alone! HATE this guy because he cant put on great matches and he always cared about himself ONLY. Dude did not put over anyone clean to help THEM. He only cares about Hulk Hogan. Excellent video!
Interesting trilogy, very eye-opening. Thank you for this. 💯Likes 2U! ✌🏿
Eric Bischoff - THIS is What Terry Bollea Is REALLY Like Away From the Hulk Hogan Character
Amazed that you only have 20k subs with such great videos, amazed. Keep at it!
Great video, I never liked Hogan either. Growing up my dads favourite wrestler was Piper idk if I just prefer heels or maybe I'm just too Canadian and all that red white n blue rah rah America thing just didn't do anything for me, I think Brett was a better role model for kids to look up to but again, maybe its just cuz im not a real American. Also yeah, Hall was the best thing about nwo, rip Scott, miss ya brother
You got So many vids on Hulk Hogan, makes me think you actually love the hulkster, BROOTHHHERRR!!!
Maybe…
I think timeline is important for someone liking or not liking Hogan .
If you grew up in the 80s ( as I did ) he was THE face of wrestling and all us kids wanted to be him.
If you saw him for the first time in the 90s he looked out of touch physically and for what was going on at the time but you could say the same of Andre the Giant if he had survived
As kids we all loved Andre but let's be honest he was a terrible wrestler and if not for his size he wouldn't have stood a chance.
It's all how it was portrayed and the age you were when you first got into wrestling.
I think people discount just how much your age impacts your perception of entertainment in everything not just wrestling. I think if we all take an honest look back we can all point out lots of things we thought were amazing as kids and then if we watch it as an adult have zero clue why we used to think it was so good. So the 80s kids who all loved Hogan who disliked him later is really super normal to em
RIP Scott Hall
On the fast count I’ve timed the Nick Patrick count at 2.86sec and his average count on other matches (20 matches) at 2.24sec with other referees’s average count time at at 1.97sec (again over 20 matches). I know it sounds sad I timed all those matches average time for a 3 count and that I probably don’t have much to do but I run 3 businesses (though I do have managers so I can do important things like time wrestling referee pin counts from 25yrs ago)
That's not sad. That's some thorough investigating.
Would love one on CM Junk.
I’m working on that as we speak!
I love all the people in the comment section that started watching wrestling as an eight-year-old during the Attitude Era.
You know everything about everything because you saw it on the internet.
Dave Meltzer and his buddies.
Some of them are post Dave Meltzer.
That would like be like me trying to comment on the atmosphere around Gorgeous George.
I'll never truly know.
I was wrestling Sammartino in the gardens before Sammartino was wrestling in the gardens, brother.
I planted that garden brother!
I was never a Hogan girl and I'm older than you. I was the one getting up cheering for Piper at live main events.
I was never a huge fan of his, despite paying him the reverence that is due. At the same time it's impossible to argue with the points you made.
However; a buddy of mine from HS got married and took his honeymoon in Clearwater Florida. He and his bride ran into none other than Hulk Hogan. Now despite going through some of the absolute worst days of his life, he still took the time to and effort to be "on" enough to take a picture with the newlyweds and congratulate them.
He absolutely would have been completely excused if he told them to fuck off but he didn't. He smiled and realized he's the most famous person those two may ever meet and treated them with kindness and dignity.
Exactly, that seems to be something this clown left out, I have NEVER heard of a single person who has met Hogan being let down, he has ALWAYS been like Richard Petty with his fans. He always treats them like they mean everything to him.
What was a rather good video about Hulk's demise turned into an exhausting rant about how much you hate Hulk. You definitely didn't need to upload a 5 hour long video about why you hate Hogan when this video already covered that quite thorough.
Also, it's a contradiction to say "Hogan, in fact, probably is racist."
Again, very good overall.
1:03:46 If nobody else is going to mention that spectacular wig then I guess I'll have to be the one...
I LOVED Hogan as a kid and still LOVE him to this day. HULKAMANIA is 4 Ever !
I took steroids brother!!!
Hulk never connected with me either. Born in 1980, I was a full blow ultimate warrior fan. I watched the follow ups but never really got back into it Warrior left and so did I 92-93. Checked in now and then. I was done in 97-98. Never tried WCW.
Pathological Liar & Uber Narcissist. I grew up in the 80's & The Hulkster was a hero, but I always loved Roddy Piper, Jake The Snake & Bret Hart as heels & never liked the Giant Ego that is Terry Bolleo. Wrestlemania 3 was freaking incredible though, & I got to watch it Live on T.V here, I'll NEVER forget it. Great Doco on this sad man, very fairly covered. Thanks, subbed👍🤟
RIP Scott Hall.
Rest in Peace Razor Ramon. NWO fan for life.....
younger fans who weren't watching in 1984-1986 just aren't going to like Hogan. If you missed his peak years, you just won't get it. I say that as someone who started watching during 1995/6. But the fact is, without him pulling the chariot in the Wrestlemania I era, everything else wouldn't have happened. I can understand why the rest of Hogan's antics outweigh his rock n wrestling contributions for younger fans.
I felt the same as a kid not connecting with him. I seen through him at 6. Maybe I was cynical then. I was a Macho Man fan and felt he should have had more spotlight due to his unique personality. I also liked him in the ring more. Hogan was an all time draw and the business was made popular on his back but man, he ruined the business by not doing business
wow what a documentary series brother
Savage saying they weren’t friends is just spit grapes. They were best friends for years.
I’m sure you know better than the person who made the statement…
It's just one of those things where you'd have to live through those times to be able to fully appreciate it
I love your videos and witty and cute humor.
Thanks Jake
Warrior diesel and razor were my three favorites...I 100% agree with what was said within the first minute or two but I also have mad respect for what hogan did for wrestling
I loved when he beat someone with his belt on wcw good oh days
So nostalgic for that time period or me
THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE. You wonder why people loved Hulk Hogan in 1983? What wrestling did you watch in the early mid 80's? It was lame-- and by the time Hogan went to WCW he wasn't anyone's favorite I knew of
Christ i miss wrestling in the 80s
Great series. Though I feel like Hogan’s last match in WCW would have been a worthy addition to Hulk’s downfall.
I don’t like how the on screen drama and events are presented like they were real
Before I understood the industry Hogan was my hero. As soon as I got 'smart' I saw him for what he is....a selfish, ego driven promo man.
Great video!! Thank you for all the hard work you do to entertain all of us💞💞💞👍🏻
Dude.. he was a bigger draw than Bruno and had more charisma than Dusty. I'm not a Hogan fan but come on you're reaching
Perhaps I am, hyperbole to make a point
Hogan was the biggest draw in the history of the business until Austin/Rock during the Attitude Era. That's not debatable.
Hogan was the biggest name in wrestling. Hogan was also the biggest jerk in wrestling. Both things can be and are true. The racist stuff is also true.
As a black man, I think he is a racist piece of crap. The character he played is also the reason why I ever started watching. I can't change either. Both are facts and 100% true.
All I gotta say is, thank God the Hulkster didn't do 'The Wrestler'. That was a fantastic movie and a brilliant performance for Mickey Rourke.
Thank you so much for this lets get you to 25k subs man cheers!
Hulk did what he did to survive and live well. He doesn't owe anything or any explanation to you, me or anybody else for that matter!
You had to be a kid in the 80's and ignorant to wrestling politics to really appreciate and really understand what Hulk Hogan was and meant pre internet. I wanted him to win every time I saw him no matter what. Now that I'm 43, I understand he has basically a selfish asshole. But back then, he was everything to me. By the time her got to NWO, I was over the Hogan hype by then
Being a black wwe fan Hogan was never a favorite of mine. My favorite is The Best There is, The Best there was and the best there ever will be.🖤💗💗🖤
The best Hogan documentary ever an amazing job buddy.
Thanks
At the end of the day I'm black and I was a Hogan fanatic you have to learn to separate the character he played from the person that he is and then you won't be disappointed WWE 2K 22 in stores now go by is dope
Unless you were a kid in the mid 80s, you can't truly understand how big Hogan was. Just like I can't truly understand how big the Beatles were in the 1960s. It make sense that you are not a Hulk fan, why would you be when there were bigger and better stars on the stage by the time you were growing up? The whole 3rd man thing was nostalgia for the 80s kids.
Guy was an absolute legend, a hero - the man!! Huge fan, until Hogan Knows Best, ruined him and all became quite sad and showed money is all he is interested in
Ironically, he could have coasted on the good-guy image he built in the 80’s-90’s, just doing appearances and motivational speaking gigs, and ended up with far more money than his quick-cash-in schemes in 2000+ got him.
Can't believe the judge let him get away with wearing that bandana in a court of law.... That's celebrity privilege for ya
Why did you spend so much time on the pin count in the Sting match?
"That doesn't work for me, brother," should be on his gravestone. That phrase has ended more pushes and careers than any other in the past 30 or so years.
