Warning: This is a Hogan interview where he knows he's on a right wing show, so he's moving his stories to fit this base.
- Hogan claims he was out playing music at clubs as a teen until 3 am and in home room for high school by 8 am. His parents kicked him out of the house at 17.
- The pod host says watching the Vince doc made him like Vince even more than before. (He also makes Kamala McDonalds jokes....so surprise!)
- New Hogan story alert!!!: He talks about the AWA and claims "My crew booked a bunch of east coast dates and we were about to take over" Then Vince called him and offered him the chance to take over the world with him instead.
- Harley Race "was an ex-marine". (Race was a teenage wrestler) He put a gun to my head and set the ring on fire when we ran his town. (Last time I heard the story Race slapped Hogan playfully and they shook hands.
- NEW HOGAN STORY ALERT! - When he worked Terry Funk in South Africa (which happened IRL) he was robbed by the guys driving him, his mother went to the US embassy in Florida and got his payday back .
- "I hated seeing my idol Dusty Rhodes working the 2nd or 3rd match on the card below me..." (Never mind that he was headlining B shows, etc and literally feuded with the last 3 guys Hogan had feuded with - Bossman, Macho Man and Dibiase)
- Hulk finally realized he was mainstream when John Stossel interviewed him in NY for 20/20 and Hulk got mobbed by fans in the street. (Does such a clip exist on that segment? I can't recall)
- The only celebrity he was ever nervous to meet was Jerry Springer
- Hulk was at a party at the Twin Towers w/ Vince when Cher sent a limo to have him picked up for a liaison.
- Madonna did the same thing when Hulk worked MSG the same night Madonna was promoting an "S and M" book in NY.
- "Trump is a quality person when you get to know him"
- Hulk claims he learned how to treat kids at Make a Wish events from seeing Trump dealing with sick kids. (All the lulz)
- Hulk only followed the news in airports showing CNN, so he didn't catch on to FAKE NEWZ until the tabloids came at him. So that proves Trump is right because if he is being attacked there must be a reason they would try to destroy him.
- "I called Vince and told him to buy WCW after the TV rights deal with Eric Bischoff and Time Warner fell through"
- Hogan mixes up his own wrestling story and says he went to TNA after WCW, then after 4 years of dealing with that he finally went back to Vince and set up a match with the Rock.
- I got an offer from Bob Evans at Paramount to do the John Wayne thing, but wrestling is in my blood.
- I was selling merch and playing music in the AWA and Vince wasn't doing any of that when I came back to him in 1983. (All fibs of course)
- I was making more money from merch in the AWA than from wrestling. (Verne and Hogan had a falling out at least in part from Hogan not getting paid for the AWA selling Hogan related shirts....so just the opposite of the truth)
- "Vince was working harder than ever in the 2000s. He'd rip up a RAW script at 6 pm and rewrite it himself by 8pm. Then he'd do meetings until 2 am and come banging on my hotel room door to work out with him.
- "The Greatest day of my life, when my father was on his death bed..." Wonderful out of context quote at 1 hour and 3 mins in. He was excited his dad loved Jesus at the end of his life finally and also told Terry he loved him before he died. "It was a great day!"
- Hogan was hovering over his dad when he died. Hogan felt his Dad's soul leave his body and travel through his. "Like a bolt of electricity"
- Hogan claims this moment made him better as a person. Hogan's racism and affairs were all bumps in the road as long as he returns to Jesus he is fine.
- "I am now moving away from worrying about fame" as he's in the middle of a months long media blitz to promote his brand of beer.
- Hulk wishes he was rich like Trump because then he could help the poor like Trump does. (LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
- "Trump wants to help people. This is a spiritual revolution now." They tried to kill him in July, so after that Hulk inspired to alienate half my fan base to stand up for what's right.
- "I remember the country I grew up in" (*says the N word on sex tape) "was safe and kids played little league and walked home alone"
- "Trump doesn't want things the way they used to be, he wants things the way they SHOULD be"
- 1 hour 14 min mark. First truthful statement "I don't know what I'm talking about" Hulk goes on to bitch about funding Ukraine from Russian aggression.
- Pregnant pause as he's asked if he ever voted. "First time I ever voted was for Trump"
- I noticed how things were changing in 2016.... "I started to do my research on the internet"
- Hogan is not involved in the Ben Affleck Hogan film in production. He jokes he is going to sue them out of business like he did with gawker.
- The host wants a Hogan documentary. The other 30 out there aren't enough I guess. To be fair, Hogan changes his stories enough that it would be all new info.
- Hogan made his beer for under educated white people after Bud Light pushed the Trans agenda.
- Hogan had to be on his best behavior here as the podcaster had a fact checker with google handy to help highlight Hogan's stories.
I definitely prefer when Hogan spends 90 mins talking about slamming filthy wart-infested giants and not about Hogan slobbering on Trump's cock.
