And he still worked 400 days one year with his back muscles just detached and floating around under his skin…..he’s not the hero we wanted but he’s the hero we needed 🤣🤣🤣
By showing this footage we are now doomed to hear Hogan claim he developed games with Nintendo. “There was this guy I’d met while wrestling in Japan: Shigeru Miyamoto. He loved my mustache and decided that I’d be in this game fighting a gorilla. But the thing didn’t look right so they made the mustache brown, but there you have it: I’m Mario.”
Hogan claimed Mario was going to be based on him with blonde hair and a blonde mustache and be an Irish American hero, but the wwf threatened to sue Nintendo so they changed their minds! Such a missed opportunity for the hulkster!
Whatever little time Hogan had off during those 420 days of the year in Japan, he helped develop and promote video games. He co-created Sonic the Hedgehog and made music for Doom.
"Let me tell you something Maniac Mike, I've had video game challenges before. The hardest challenge I had was beating the first level on Super Mario Bros"
I feel like I've seen everything in video games and wrestling.... I have NEVER SEEN THIS before in my life. My mind is absolutely blown and it feels so early 90's end of the 80's nickolodeon/mtv game showesque.
The Host of the show here, Mike. I remember him from the 'Amazing Discoveries" infomercials that were on at night in the early 90s. When the "LifeStyle" channel closed its transmission for the evening, the infomercials would broadcast with Mike hosting each one. Id No idea about this "Gaming Tournament" , so this is an amazing discovery indeed! Loved the commentary and reaction to this, well done, mate.👍👍👍
The only episode of "Amazing Discoveries" I remember is this one where the inventor was this Cockney British dude and the absolute communication breakdown that happened between him and Maniac Mike.
@@dr.snakes His name is John , and I remember him on an episode of Amazing Discoveries selling a car cleaning product called "Auri". 👍😁 The full informercial itself is o YT to see. I threw it on after reading your comment and couldnt believe it was over 30 years ago when I saw it first!
Hogan probably wrote the code for this game back in the 80's but he was just too busy being a superstar so he left it to some random game company to do it for him. EDIT: that dude with the glasses was the same guy who was known for 'Amazing Discoveries' show from around the same time.
One thing though, this happened in the 90s. Not the 80s. It was after the WWE/WWF steroid scandal and it's multiple coding for multiple games the developer didn't have the rights for stolen from legitimate developers. Your joke kinda fell flat my dude. Just sayin. ✌️
@@michaelmorbid704 Yesss.. so Hogan.. would say he did it 10 years earlier and just slept on it til it was what it is now. He invented gaming, you know? Try and keep up with the rest of the class now. 😊
Honestly I think people are missing the charm here. Look at how much effort the wrestlers are putting in. They used the full energy they would have utilized for actual televised promos. Just 100 percent effort particularly by Coco Beware and Hogan. If I had ran across this on TV I would have watched it and been stoked as a kid.
That's advertising 101 - pay a celebrity a lot of cash to act inordinately excited about a mediocre product to con people into thinking it's really great banking on the fact that the number of people you dupe into buying the product will far outweigh the cost of the celebrity endorsement. I find it less charming and more scummy.
The biggest crime of them all in WGF, is that they never brought Randy Savage in this game show. Seriously he would've nailed this show, and would manage to bring such great promo for Hogan's Action 52 game. Every kid in the entire world would love to be on the Macho Man's team.
Michael Elson got his name in the second issue of Nintendo Power for scoring 999,999 points in Super Mario for the NES. I know this because WrestleCrap knows this.
It was actually T&C Surf Design. Unfortunately RUclips won't let me post the Nintendo Power archive link, but it's Issue 2 page 96. T&C Surf Design Mike Elson Great Neck, NY 999,999.
Hulk Hogan game dev of the 80s. They say he helped make Doom, Contra, Mario and last but not least. He was the lead writer of Earthbound but due to missing a phone call he was not credited.
The most affirming thing about this video is learning Hulk Hogan’s extravagant lies really aren’t a new phenomenon, he really has been doing it his entire life lol.
Think about it for a moment. There were a few years where if you were close enough to some guy who calls himself "Hulk Hogan". You could just say to him "I like money". And somebody would pay you for something. Also, I'm going to be honest, I don't think I could destroy an invading army of tanks. And I'm okay with that.
Mike Levey, the most famous pitch-man of the 90s. This isn't just Hulk Hogan flogging a scam cartridge it's him doing it next to the early 90s version of Billy Mays.
After I read this comment, I had to actually think about all the things he has said the exact same thing about throughout the years. Lol. Funny comment but could actually be a direct quote from The Hulkster himself.
First Souja Boy gives Drake "What's Happenen" then shovels unlicensed videogames Then Soulja Boy gives Hogen advice and he shovels unlicensed Videogames.
WB slowly becoming more enraged and stressed out the longer the infomercial went on was gold. Hogan trying to describe each game will never not be hilarious as well.
Some of the games on "Action 52" were so broken that they were unplayable. This might have extremely subpar games but at least they "play". I think it's level 4 in "Cheetahmen" on "Action 52" where it's impossible to complete the level because it's programmed so badly.
I had that precise thought as he said it. The more Hogan opens his trap these days, the more he damages his legacy. But he's always kept his closest friends in work, many following him into WCW in the mid-90s (ie. Honky Tonk Man), so he's always looked after those around him.
Even if this had been released with all 30 games advertised it in (which it should have) it still probably wouldn’t have been that good. While Action 52 was terrible it at least gave you a better deal since it cost $199.99 while this cost $149.85 and has less than half the number of games. The extra $50 doubles your game count.
I met Honky Tonk Man at a local comic con and he told me about that wrestling game. He was selling pictures of him and Hogan from the infomercial autographed by the HTM. He told me the game was never released though, but he said he still got paid.
💪What a tour-de-force! I had no idea Hulk Hogan and his fellow wrestlers did this infomercial!!! LOL What a trip. Wrestling Bios your work continues to impress! Also, that "Wrestling with Pixels" book is a fantastic read and reference. I own a copy myself and love it. Keep up the excellent work!!!
I wish the Hulkster spruiked every video game in existence, can you imagine all the rundowns of well know games? "Get ready for the intense action of Sim City brother! It's up to you to build a city for all your Simamaniacs to live in! Build bodacious buildings, radical roads and gnarly nuclear plants!"
Imagine scrolling through the TV channels in 1992 and finding THIS on at like 2:30 in the morning. It makes you wonder how many drugs were done with this production - the answer is ALL of the drugs. Mainly for Hogan.
That kid who 'pLAyeD aLL tHe GAmEs' is probably a huge wrestling bios fan who requested this so so he could be seen and discussed by his favorite youtuber. He's probably one of the top patreons.
4:35 I don't know if it's just the way I'm hearing it, or if it's just an unfortunate way that the audio mixes together, but to me, it sounds like Hulk is saying, "Let me tell you something Maniac Mike. I've had challenges in my Lifetime, but the NAZIVISION CHALLENGE is UNBELIEVABLE." I know he's saying "Maxivision" and I keep replaying it but I keep hearing that other thing instead. Haha! This might be another one of those cases like the "Brainstorm or Green Needle" audio hallucination (Seriously. Look that up on RUclips. It's cool and so weird.)
When Hogan first introduced the NWO, he reffered to it as the "New World Organization" instead of "Order", so him actually messing up names in possibility.
The best part is you actually subjected yourself to these horrible games, so the video doubles as both a nostalgic marvel AND honest review of all of the games. Top notch as always! Back to you, Maniac!
What's disturbing man is I used to have Captain Comic on DOS, it's actually worse there had the USMC hymn as the theme song and marginally better graphics.
Yep, as a long time viewer, this might by my favourite video ever. The combo of Hogan plus gaming plus sleazy business dealings is absolute perfection.
So wait a damn second... this guy released his illegal NES multicart during 1992, freaking 1992 when the 16-bit wars were in full swing when the Sega Genesis was # 1, the newly released SNES was slowly building itself, the Turbografx-16 was slowly rebranding towards the Turbo Duo and (most importantly) the NES was strongly considered last gen and out of date at that point where most people were abandoning the old 8-bit NES for one of the current gen 16-bit consoles.... What was he thinking???
NES still had games releasing up until 1992 when Little Samson was the last officially licensed game to be released for the console. Copies of that game go for anywhere from $2k-$6k depending on condition and completion. In fact most NES games released from 1990-1992 go for decent money, because most people had moved on to the SNES and Genesis.
Wrestling Bios is the Angry Pro Wrestling Nerd we need. i hope you make more videos like this, these post have been my favorites over the past couple of months. 😆
I was looking into unlicensed games on the NES some years back when I learned about the Maxivision cartridges. Nor did I know that people actually went so far as to make an infomercial for them, as laughable as it may seem.
I can't believe you don't need to buy a new machine to play this!!!! When I heard there's 30 games I was afraid I'd have to buy 30 NES's to play each and every game. Really impressive technological breakthrough. Especially considering the era it was made in. Its no wonder Nintendo sent the lawyers after Mr. Frick, they were jealous that they weren't able to develop such a cutting edge piece of technology. You see this type of thing all the time. Someone will create an astounding technological break through and then a larger company comes around and shuts it down out of jealousy and lack of imagination.
I love when you venture off into the more different or weird videos, because you make sure your editing and commentary is always extra hilarious. Much love brother thank you for the content, truly.
Michael Elson (Mr. 90's McBallBag) is from Great Neck, New York, posted a top score of 999,999 on T & C Surf Design as published in Nintendo Power Issue #2 from October 1988. Show some respect.
Yeah, but Nintendo retconned his high score after he endorsed this unlicenced product... So it officially never happened, like Chris Jericho's first WWF title win...

NES still had games releasing up until 1992 when Little Samson was the last officially licensed game to be released for the console. Copies of that game go for anywhere from $2k-$6k depending on condition and completion. In fact most NES games released from 1990-1992 go for decent money, because most people had moved on to the SNES and Genesis.
The Turbografix was an 8-bit system. Its hilarious though how many people believed it was 16 because it had 16 in its name.

Wrestling Bios is the Angry Pro Wrestling Nerd we need. i hope you make more videos like this, these post have been my favorites over the past couple of months. 😆
Man, Richard Frick was the OG Tommy Tallarico.
Hulk Hogan is the most complex human I've ever seen
Nah, nothing complex about it... Throw money at him, he will do what you ask... Likely, very badly...
You think hes short on money?
No he's all about the dollar dollar bills yo

Keep living ul see more than that 😂
I was looking into unlicensed games on the NES some years back when I learned about the Maxivision cartridges. Nor did I know that people actually went so far as to make an infomercial for them, as laughable as it may seem.
This is one of the best things i have ever seen. Why does no one bring this up in an interview with hulk
I can't believe you don't need to buy a new machine to play this!!!! When I heard there's 30 games I was afraid I'd have to buy 30 NES's to play each and every game. Really impressive technological breakthrough. Especially considering the era it was made in. Its no wonder Nintendo sent the lawyers after Mr. Frick, they were jealous that they weren't able to develop such a cutting edge piece of technology. You see this type of thing all the time. Someone will create an astounding technological break through and then a larger company comes around and shuts it down out of jealousy and lack of imagination.
13:33 I can’t be the only one who thought this would lead to a cut-in of Hogan’s ancient Chinese proverb 😂😂
I was like 14.. how did no one at school talk about this? We didn't see this
Yep. Hogan almost certainly cut a few lines of Rudolph's magic nose snow with one of those cartridges.
Hogan knew Miyamoto and he gave him the idea for Super Mario bros. “He named it after my favorite pizza place brother!”
Ah, the days when a drop shadow on certain sprites/tiles qualified as "3D GRAPHICS!!!"
I love when you venture off into the more different or weird videos, because you make sure your editing and commentary is always extra hilarious.
Much love brother thank you for the content, truly.
18:31 Hold up, isn’t that Bath Bubble Babes but reskinned to not be so, uh, lewd?
I think it is!
"It's basically Steve Blackman: The Video Game." 😂 Another great video, WB!
Michael Elson (Mr. 90's McBallBag) is from Great Neck, New York, posted a top score of 999,999 on T & C Surf Design as published in Nintendo Power Issue #2 from October 1988.
Show some respect.
He a-a-a 90's z list tv actor😊
Long island represent!
Yeah, but Nintendo retconned his high score after he endorsed this unlicenced product... So it officially never happened, like Chris Jericho's first WWF title win...
@@xancypillosi9497then why was he wearing a charlottes hornets hat
"Your dad is on a five year vaction...3 for good behaviour" Im remembering that one, thank you XD Lol
Man I love this video! 😆 150 bucks for that! Everyone Involved should have got prison time lol great video bud! I would call it maxipad vision but that's an insult to maxi pads 😂
13:33 Hearing Hulk Hogan say the phrase “Chinese legend spoke of 42 magical tiles” made my day.
From a collector’s standpoint this cartridge could be interesting to own. I wonder how much it goes for now
Wow, I have never heard of this. Well done Bios, well done.
