M h.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
You're listening to Eyes up Here, the d c w's
want and Only Queen of ex Street Francy only on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
All right, let's get it going right here, right now,
let's his Eyes up here. If you like the title
of this one to lie.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Amnia, no, I don't think so, you know what, Okay,
if you're a hoping work review.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I don't agree with that term, but as consulted.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Look, we can go back and forth all day about this.
You know you are. You've said it before. You You
have professed your undying love for Terry Bulla to me
several times. So don't try to come off like you're
cool now and deny it, because you know you are.
You're a whole media I have.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
An affinity for one, mister Bulla, Yeah I do. But
we're going to get into some of the tall tales
that have been supposedly said by.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The Hulkster over the last few years.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But uh, we've got a little bit of a spin
that the Chad Star is going to put on some
of these tall tales that you know, Look, there's a
thousand things out there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Now, this is a very popular topic.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
All you have to do is type in Hulk Hogan
lies into the YouTube search bar. Tons of shows are
covering it. What are we going to do to make
ourselves stand out? And yes, I could call this lie amania,
but I'm going to switch it up a little bit, Francine,
and I'm going to ask you, just point blank, if
Hulk Hogan lies, then how come Hulk Hold never ever
(02:01):
lied about his time in ECW.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't think Haul Hogan is a fan of ECW.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Okay, I I really don't.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I don't think I think he would. I think he
would come off like so many of the other old timers. Oh,
I don't get it. That's that you know, garbage wrestling
or that Blood and Guts company. That's the way I
think he might come off. I could be wrong because
I've never met him. He's one of the guys in
(02:33):
this business, the legends that I've never had the pleasure
to meet. And let me just let me just say,
I would love to meet Halcogan someday, like you know,
who wouldn't be being in this business. I like to
meet my peers. But I was never a hawk of maniac.
I liked him when he was in the nWo. That's
(02:57):
when I thought he was super cool, Like I'm like, okay,
now he's heel, you know, and the black and white gimmick,
and that's when I really liked Hogan. I did not
like the red and yellow phase. Eh, I don't know.
It just didn't do it for me.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
But if he's such a liar, he sure would have
lied about being in e CW and.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Being a I don't even know about at the Bingo Hall.
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Look, he's holding the ECW title. Look, he's at the
corner of Swanson and Writtener.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Come on, he did and we just haven't heard that
story yet. Maybe he's going to come and say that
him and Paul were the ones who booked the first
barely legal Hm. You know, maybe maybe he'll say something
like that. I don't know. I mean, I look, he
might praise us, he might hate us. You never know.
Most of the old timer guys, they think e CW
(03:49):
was a joke. They think it was just nonsense, not
real wrestling, blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, you know,
and you know, I'm right, that's the consensus.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I do.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But here's where I think the discussion of Hulk Hogan
needs to begin.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, is the old timers. They tend to tell tall tales.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Okay, But I think a lot of these discussions that
these guys had in cars, that maybe stayed in cars
back in the seventies, back in the eighties, that now
are being told out to the media, out to fans
that have podcasts, and out to interviewers. They don't really
resonate because they're being fed to the masses.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And we could just fact.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Check that Hulk Hogan is arguably and this is the
mark in me, I guess say, in this the biggest
star in the history of wrestling. So what he says
is going to carry a lot of weight. And people
are going to say, no, that's bullshit, that's whatever. But
in his mind that's what happened. But he's been doing
this for forty years. So whether he believes it now
(04:55):
that that's what happened, or he's just maybe he's look,
what if he has dementia?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
What if he.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know, so he has dimension Now you said he's
been doing it for forty years, So when he was
thirty years old, did he have dementia or was he
just a.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Compos of liars. That's where I started to get off
the ring. But okay, so let me let me go
back to my point. So the guy getting.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Caught in your own lies right now, the old timers
that tend to exaggerate about things and tend to say
stuff that.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Look a guy that I know that has.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Been around for a long time, sometimes he says stuff
that I'm like, that doesn't sound like it's right, but
you know he's saying it. Maybe it is, maybe it's not,
but my marked them my time as a fan. No,
maybe I think he's incorrect, but I'm not going to
say anything right now. It happens, But I think he's
just Hulk Hogan and he's under.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A bigger microscope than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is this like the little white lie you tell your
children you think you have it rough? I used to
walk forty miles in the snow with no boots on
and and just the you know, socks and slippers, and
you know those little white lies that motivate somebody. Or
do you really think that he believes all these things happened?
(06:11):
Does he think that Metallica really wanted him as a
front man for a singer? Like some of these things
are so elaborate and so not believable that you have
to look at this guy and say what planet does
he live on? Like that is one hundred percent fabricated
and it makes him look like a tool.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, I think he takes stories that he's heard and
they like mold in his brain with other things that
happened in the business in his career, and that like
metestasizes into the actual story then that he tells.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You don't think that makes his credibility go way down?
I do. I do think maybe how many times can
you say say something that's not true? Like if I
was an interviewer and I got the chance to interview
Hogan and I knew it was gonna be a bunch
of eyes, I would just sit there and laugh my
(07:10):
ass off at him because you know, you're not going
to get any good content. It's going to be a
bunch of bullshit. Right, Why would anyone even want to
talk to him about certain things if he's just gonna
lie all the time, Because now he's a running joke,
like people make fun of him constantly, nothing to do
with his work ethic, because we know he was a
(07:30):
powerhouse in the ring, Like you said, one of the
greatest of all time. Possibly, But when you open your
mouth and all these lies come out and these stories
that are ridiculous, if you were went to school with
a kid like this, you would be like, bro, shut
the fuck up, you're an idiot, Like you know what
(07:51):
I mean. Maybe, but because he's no a hundred percent,
you would a hundred percent. But because he's Haul Cogan,
are you giving him a pass? Is it okay because
he's done so much for the business and he's you know,
larger than life or can you call him on his bullshit?
I love for somebody to just be like, Bro, that
(08:12):
wasn't true. Everybody that interviews him and he seems to
like tell the story, they're just like, really, oh that's great,
and nobody calls him on anything because they're scared to right.
Nobody's gonna question HAULK Hogan as ridiculous as it sounds
when it's coming out of his mouth. There's not one
interviewer that's going to say that never happened with Yeah.
(08:38):
Now after the fact, when you're listening to the people
talk and they're saying, well, that's not true, like you
hear someone like you. I think before we came on,
Jim Cornette, you mentioned Jim Cornette did a whole one
of these on it was calling him out on his bs, right.
Do you think Jim would tell him to his face?
I don't know what their relationship is. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Im in person, he'd they'd be let yucking it up,
he would give him a handshake.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't know if
they're like.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Hogan, Jimmy, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
How good is their friendship? Can somebody like a brutus
beefcake has always put over haul Cogan such good friends?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Not the best example of liars.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm just saying. Or Knobs. We saw Knobs, you know,
with him at the restaurant eating, so I'm assuming they're
really good friends. Can Knobs turn around and just be like,
what the hell are you talking about? And maybe Hogan'll
be like, I don't know, I'm just bullshit? Or is
he gonna say, bro, you sound like an idiot? Like
he's close enough to Hogan to call him out, but
(09:44):
an interviewer like I would never say to him, dude,
you are so full of shit?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And you know what, And somebody like Jimmy Hart or
Brian Kobbs, who's there with him when he's traveling might
say like.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He talking about h might.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Just say or something like that, Yeah, they have that
good friendship, you know. But somebody like me, who he
doesn't know from Adam and I'm interviewing the guy and
he says, oh, you know, I met Jesus Christ that
the Last Supper? Did you? Oh my god? How was it?
(10:20):
Was it great? How was he to you? What was
the dinner like? What to eat? Like? Am I gonna
say you're you're full of shit? Even though that story
is ridiculous? No? Why Because he's hault Cogan. Nobody's gonna
call him on his bullshit? No one. So that's why
when you hear these stories, they are humorous and and
(10:42):
they are entertaining. But to me, I look at him
and I'm just like, what the hell is this guy
talking about? Like you said, does he have dementia? Is it? Like? Uh,
you know, I hate I'm not trying to get political,
but Biden is talking all this stuff. He talks about
things that were like before his time, or things that
never happened, or things that he says he was at
(11:03):
and he wasn't. The world is making fun of him?
Is the world making fun of whole Cogan for telling
these elaborate stories.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yes, yes they are.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The wrestling world is the world.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
But let me grab something.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Hold on, one said, Oh no, that doesn't make my
buddy sitting on my line make it right.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That doesn't make it acceptable. Hold on now, talk you're
such a nerd. Look at it, ladies and gentlemen, please.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And this whole basement is the only wrestling thing that
I have down here. Yeah, the whole thing, only wrestling item.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, I keep it out because of the kids. But
I'm going to pull up an article by the Sportster.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, and I look at them all the time. I'm
gonna show you why I think he confuses a lot
of stuff. Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I think that he takes things he hears and things
that happened in his career and they become the giant
ball of thought in his brain. But you, I think
you hit the nail right on the head about nobody
calling him out when he says something egregiously ridiculous. And
I'll give the big one, uh, the guy Chris van
(12:14):
Valet or villain or whatever vlat whatever how you say
his name, mister pretty face and Spiley teaching.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Let's call him CVB.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, CVB.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
He's had plenty of chances to call him out.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He has it, No one has, No one has. That's
why in my mind, I'm saying, on the side, are
his good friends going, what what the hell? What was
that about? Like? What do you? And he is probably
who cares? Nobody cares, you know, I do what I want.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Look at this one.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Mike Tyson was scared to face him in a boxing match. Okay,
this one, I'm not going to read through the whole thing.
I'll just explain it to you. He goes into a
whole story about how there was gonna be a charity
boxing match between Hulk Hogan and Mike Tyson, and he
says it's the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
What he's confusing this with is that.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mike Tyson was supposed to appear for the w WF
in the nineteen eighties, but after he lost, when Mike
Tyson finally got beat, Tyson's people pulled out and he
never appeared. Okay, that he was supposed to appear on
camera with Hogan. Hogan claims that he was too scared
(13:34):
of him and he never showed up.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That was could they he'd be talking in in you know,
trying to work the people like like, you know, yeah,
keeping the gimmick up.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He's saying that they were supposed to have a boxing
match in the eighties. He's talking about he was supposed
to be on w w F TV as a referee
one time and because Tyson lost, Yeah, they they know
showed and they had to get some I forget who
it was buster.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
In this reference. I think he's keeping the gimmick alive
because you never know when Mike Tyson's going to come
back around and want to do that match.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Okay, next one. This is another one.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
That that is this is bullshit that people call him
on this. He was supposed to be the face of
the George Foreman grill. This is true.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
George Foreman has said this, that the Hogan camp passed.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I want to hear George Foreman say it.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I wish I had the time to pay I swear
a stack of Bibles. I heard George Foreman say that Hogan.
The way people rip Hogan for this because he said, oh,
I was driving my kids to school and I missed
the call from my agents, and they passed and went
to George Foreman after me. Very plausible in the non
(14:54):
cell phone era, in the in the mid nineties, when
not everybody had a phone on them all.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Right now, if you miss a call, you missed a
call from your agents. You don't think that he called
them back within the same day. Do you think that
literally they took the offer off the table within the
matter of five minutes because they couldn't get him right away.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Yes, I think it's very plausible. I don't in a
business sense. Absolutely, they need somebody right away.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, if they really wanted Hogan as the face of
this grill, they would have waited longer than.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Five I think they were looking for somebody just to
put on the grill.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And it didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Who I was even there. And you don't know what
the hell you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm just telling you what to.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See face for your man. And it's a bunch of
biss all right, let me get it, I'm telling you.
Did I tell you they called me second for the
George Foreman girl and I was in the bathroom and
I missed a call.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So here's one that I never heard that he wanted
to turn heel In nineteen ninety everyone else Hogan's epic
Heel turned nineteen eighty six, changeing into business. Yet he
claimed six years earlier that you know he wanted he
pitched the Vincy wanted to turn heel at WrestleMania.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Since I can't believe that. Why what is so unbelievable
about that?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I just can't see it happening. His movie career was
going to start.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
He's lying in this case, he.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Was the ultimate.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, because he saw how good it was when he
turned heel. He's easy to say, hey, I would have
turned hell earlier. And also because the Warrior failed that,
hey I would have if I turned heel, maybe I
could have made him look better.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I think this one I never heard.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That's okay, well I haven't heard any of these, so
I don't know. We don't know what happens. You know,
in meetings, this could have happened. I'll give him a
pass on this one. You need to find a ridiculous one.
I'm going to find one, because that's the ones that
I'm having a problem wrapping my head around.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Okay, So here's this is the Biggie the Makeaway kid.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You got to make a wish kid to show he
wasn't on.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Okay, this is the background for that Holkster in Heaven song.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So oh, now we know what the song's about.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Yes, So he claims that the kid who was the
inspiration behind Halkster and Heaven died before he could sit
front row at SummerSlam ninety two at Wimbley Stadium, but
he didn't make it to watch Hogan wrestle in the
main event of a show.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
That Hogan was not on.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He wasn't on it.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
He wasn't on it. And he said Hogan said he
was the champion. He was not in the company at
that point. He was out of the WWF during that time.
And Hogan said that he died in between meeting him
in the back and going to the ring, and that
he was in basically an iron lung, okay, and that
(18:01):
he smelled of death before while he was meeting him,
he smelled and reaked of like the scent of death.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What the heck is the sense of death? There is
no specific sense of.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Death, I guess like post death. When like, did he.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Really say that?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
This is what he said? Yeah, this is what he
said in an interview.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yes, that's terrible. At first I was going to say,
maybe he just got the shows mixed up and thought
he was at a different show.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
There's been two shows at Wembley Stadium, SummerSlam ninety two
and the one they just did.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, Well, I guess not then. Look, I am a
victim of pregnancy brain. I forget everything. It could be
pregnancy and concussion brain. I don't know what you want
to call it. Maybe Hogan has CTE. Maybe he's just
a little slow at this stage in the game. I
(18:56):
don't know. But when you open your mouth and you
say stupid, you're gonna be looked at as, you know,
somebody who's not credible anymore. And that's why I I
think people want to interview him just for the sheer
ridiculousness of what's gonna come out of his mouth next,
Like they're waiting for that next ridiculous story to drop.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It's not like because he's done so many interviews, so
it's not like I want to interview Hogan to talk
about all the great things he did in wrestling. No,
I want to interview Hogan to see what kind of
bs comes out of his mouth. Can he top that story?
You know?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Or to just say that they interviewed.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, yeah, that's a given. That's a given because you know,
if you're a wrestling fan, you are pretty much going
to know who Hauled Cogan is. You might not be
a fan of his, but if you're a journalist, then
you get the opportunity to talk with him, you're going
to jump on it. But like for me, like if
I'm going to talk to him, I would try to
egg him on to tell me something so ridiculous because
(20:01):
you know you're going to go viral with it. Oh
another hoganism.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Oh yeah, you're right, because that's where I think.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But that's why I get so incensed about it, because
I don't think it's about the hulkster telling you know,
a tall tale and this is the next one that
I'm going to present to you that you're going to
be like.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Oh, okay, this isn't that he's lying.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
This is more of an old timer who is trying
to maybe teach a young guy a lesson. Okay, And
now they're calling him a liar because everything he ever
said is being scrutinized and he's being called a liar ready,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Off of this pile driver, Yes, you could fit a
couch kutschen underneath his head. There's so much room. That's
what you call protecting each other right there.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yep. So that's the finish to uh uh Survivor series.
Nice nay one. Hogan kept warning him, protect my neck,
protect my neck.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Hogan's putting over the Undertaker at this show. Okay, he
was shocking victory at the time because nobody knew that
the Undertaker came out of nowhere. Hogan kept building him up.
Protect my neck, Protect my neck, protect my neck, and
the Hulkster, who would win the title back about six
days later, told him in the back, hey, brother, I
(21:27):
think he broke my neck. You know, Stinger, you know,
laying there in the ring, had the officials come out,
well help him to the back and everything, and led
Undertaker to believe for two years that he almost broke
his neck because of the tombstone and how he landed him.
But Undertaker watched the footage and said, basically, what you
(21:48):
just said that you could fit a pillow underneath.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh my god, the ring.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is that a lie or a vet trying to teach
a lesson to the rookie?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What kind of lesson? He protected him? This is this
is can you can't get him anymore off the ground.
I mean, his head's in his bullsack. For God's sakes,
he's nowhere near the mat. Seriously, Like, and when two
years went by, did the Undertaker just come to the
conclusion by himself or did Hogan admit it?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Oh, he watched the video.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He two years to watch the video, I guess.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I guess he didn't feel like the title match back.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
But then then years later, Undertaker would be a very
vocal opponent of him coming back to the company because
of that, because he said he's piece of shit, you know,
for what he did to me, because that was the Hey, look,
this is what these old timers do. They watched their spot.
You know, they don't want somebody coming in and doing it.
(22:46):
But that was an old timer move to this young
rookie at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
So why did he drop the belt only six days after?
Do you think it was punishment? Do you think that
Hogan went to Vince and said, hey, brother, he hurt
my neck. Yes, so he was a stooge on top
of yeah, and he wasn't hurt at all. No, see now,
(23:10):
all right, if his neck was severely hurt, though, don't
you think WWF at the time would have sent him
to a specialist to get checked out. And I mean,
you don't let your top star wrestle with a broken neck.
So why didn't they do anything to check to see
if this was valid?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, so what they're not.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Come on, they're not doing stuff like that back then.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you're gonna tell me nineteen ninety one, if I
go up to Vince McMahon and I'm the champ and
I say my neck is broken, he's gonna say, just
go out there and suck it up. He's not going
to make me go look at a specialist. Probably, Oh
my god, what the hell? I don't know, man, that's ridiculous.
(23:56):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's another one.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I never heard that one. So that see, that makes
me like him even less.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Now, okay, this is another one that gets scrutinized a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
In one year. Now, okay, we all know, well most
of us know, there are three hundred and sixty five
days in a year, sometimes three sixty six if you
have a leap year. Did he mean maybe he wrestled
twice in a day and he just he just worded
(24:30):
this incorrectly.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Like, so I think sort of, I think he meant
yeah the twice on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Twice, Yeah, like sometimes they had to work double or
did they did a run in they had worked two times?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, But I also think he could have meant And
they're showing the picture of him with a tiger mask.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Traveling to Japan.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That looks like Ray Mysterio right there, look at the eyes.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, but you know what I mean, like, losing today,
gaining today, losing to day gaining today, is that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Really plausible for one year though?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I've bet that that's the argument.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I I I just I think he's not thinking clearly.
I think he's saying things that he thinks add up
and they just don't, and it makes him look like
an idiot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Terry, I'm sorry. Hulk fans.
You gotta agree with me on the.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Come on, it's it's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous one.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
If this was anyone else, people would be I mean
all over all over them, you know what I mean.
But because because it's Hulk Hougan and he carries so
much pristine in the wrestling business. Again, who's calling the
guy out? No one behind his back.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yes, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Oh my god, we can go all day with this.
Good Lord, this is the longest one we've ever done.
He out drank John. Wasn't he dead?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yes, he died in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
WrestleMania six in nineteen eighty WrestleMania two is in nineteen
eighty six.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yes see I even knew this one. But well, that's
why he out drank him, because he was dead.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Here's where I'm gonna defend the hulsty.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh my god, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Do you think perhaps that Hulk Hogan, while being interviewed,
may have confused John Belushi with Jim Belushi.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Was Jim bel at WrestleMania two.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
This was after WrestleMania two, so he's in Hollywood. Hulk
Hogan was on the LA. WrestleMania three is in three locations, La, Chicago,
New York. Jim Belushi is a is a Hollywood superstar.
John Belushi would have been in New York if this
story made sense for WrestleMania two because of Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Jimbal would have been in LA because he's a movie star.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Perhaps the Hulkster made a slip of the tongue and
meant to say Jim Belushi, and everybody's running there being like, oh,
he's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Read the title. He out drank John Balucci after WrestleMania two.
For me, I would put together, Okay, was John Balucci
part of WrestleMania two. When you say after WrestleMania two,
it makes me think after the show they go out,
they go to a bar and they're drinking. It doesn't
(27:34):
make me think, Oh, WrestleMania two happened on so and
so date, six months after he met Jim Balucci in
LA and he out drank gym. No, that's not what
that means. That means that he had some thing to
do with WrestleMania two, and after the show is over
he out drank them. That's the way I take it.
(27:55):
You can't. You can't put months on two. Oh, well,
maybe it was after WrestleMania three or WrestleMania For No,
he's saying after WrestleMania two happened, yes, and he out drives.
So apparently John Bealucci was at WrestleMania too. They went
out afterwards and drank and haul coke and drank him
(28:16):
under the table. In reality, John's dead not a part
of WrestleMania too, So therefore it is a huge lie.
You don't get confused with his brother, who's not even
in the state or at the show. No.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Wrong, the article suggests that maybe he also confused him
with his brother as well.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, the article's wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
All right, I'm gonna give you two more.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If I say I met I met Matthew Perry from
friends after Barely Legal, after the pay per view Barely Legal,
how would you take that? I would take it? Oh
my god, Matthew Perry was in the audience at Barely
Legal and she at him. How cool? He's a wrestling fan. No,
after Barely Legal. Maybe it was five years after when
(29:07):
I went to a thing in California and there's Matthew Perky. No,
he's trying to say that after the show was over,
they went out drinking and he's dead. He's a ma
fat liar, that stir liar.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
All right, how about this one?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
This is a good one, kind of in the same vein.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh god, in nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Well, now let's do a little math.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
What what year was this?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Now the birth of Hulcomania, Depending on who you ask.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Either is in the Awa in nineteen eighty three, okay,
or in the WWF in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
And what year did Delvis die?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Nineteen seventy seven or seventy eight?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
So is he confused with an impersonator from Vegas? Thought
he might have met on the strip?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Do you think maybe the hockey talk man? I mean,
come on, how.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Can he say this with a straight face. He's losing
his mind. He's really out there. You can't justify this.
As much as you love him, you can justify this one.
You can't, dude, You.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Cannot was a little far fetched.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Bruh, it's a lot far fetched. This one's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
This one's out there. Hulkster broken in Memphis, right, so
there's a correlation, but hulks are broken in Memphis two
years after Elvis passed away tragically.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Elvis was a big fan of Jerry Lawler. Uh you
know there was a wrestling connection. But yeah, I don't
know where the Hulkster fits into this one.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
This is just this is exhausting. It's really this. This
one's too much. And why whoever interviewed him and he
told this story, why would they not say something because
he's hall cocin. I would have been like, oh, wait
a minute, sir, I think he was dead. I think
he was dead when you debuted. How do you and
(31:22):
and he would have squirmed. That would be a good one.
Like if somebody called them out during an interview, especially
a live interview where you can't edit it, Can we
book him for eyes up here? Because I swear I
would bury him. I don't care anymore. I'm going for
the journalism.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I would do this. I would remove myself.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
He would just Now, this.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Is one I haven't heard. We'll do this is the
last one. I mean the Metallica one. Really, Okay, here's
the last one.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Did you guys hear that he thinks he's the least singer.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Material was the bass player.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
It was that when they would looks player. And there's
like three versions of his story of it so plausible.
It's one I never heard. So this is the first
time I'm seeing this.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Oh, his fight with Randy Savage.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Savage on Saturday Night's Main Event was real. Now do
you know this story?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Now?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
So the Mega Powers exploded on the main Event, which
was the Saturday Night's Main Event primetime version of their
Big Their Their Big Main show back in the eighties.
This is where they started the build up for the
breakup of Hogan and Savage.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
What happened was Macho Megat's thrown out of the ring,
takes out Elizabeth, she takes a megabump, she gets wiped out,
and Hogan leaves ringside, carrying her to the back to
get medical attention. So he's at her side, right, and
Macho Man comes in mad basically saying like, why are
(33:03):
you at her side?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Why are you you know, coming in on my woman?
I get it okay.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well, according to The Hulkster and the Randy Savage documentary
that WWE had produced this past year, the infamous backstage
fight between Hogan and Savage that led to their breakup
as a team was brought up. According to Hogan, however,
this altercation wasn't part of the script. He claimed that
the ww cameras happened to walk in on them while
(33:31):
the two were engaged in a real fight.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well, now I would have to see the footage to
see if it was a work fight or if it
was a real fight, because I can tell.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Now the footage is pretty infamous because they were live
and the Hulkster is caught on camera asking the director
for a countdown.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
We lie.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So the Hulkster the Hulks are sitting there with Elizabeth
going like.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
This's like okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
He's like, okay, give me a countdown, and I go
we're back and he goes, oh, oh my god, yeah
see that and that one I've never heard before, and
again this one we can.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
I can have an argument for the marks think it's real.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
So he's just talking to the marks and they're gonna
be like, oh wow, it was real.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Oh my god. You guys really did hate each other.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
But how stupid are you if you have seen the
footage and that part is included that makes you look
like an idiot?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Not although I have to say you have to dig
deep for that one. I don't think everybody. If you
just are the layman and you just watching it casually,
you know.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
We're done with this because you have an excuse for
every lame thing that this guy says. Well, I mean
except for the Elvis one. That one. You know, God
is this You're blinded by love? That's what I texted you.
You're so enamorate that love is blind and.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You we before we get out of here, and you're
closing thoughts on ECW mania because this is the uh,
this is what's.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Going to draw people in. It's the time Hulk Hogan
almost came to ECW.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Is that what this is called? Because we're going to
be liar?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Well, if everybody says he's a liar, it's going to
be the time Hulk Hogan almost came to ec I.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Should name it Hogan reminiscences about the time he almost
worked for ECW.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Hulk Hogan lies and other Hulk Hogan lies and almost
came to ECW.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Question Mark, Well.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
No, that doesn't sound right, but we'll think we'll think
of the good Yeah, we'll think of a good Jesus fun.
This is ridiculous. It's so ridiculous, but it's entertaining, right, yes,
and it keeps people entertained. I just wish one person
would be like, you are so pull of shit, sir,
with all due respect, you're full of shit. What do
(36:06):
you guys think watching this? Do you think Hogan is
a piece of work? Or does he get a pass
because he's Hogan? And why is this e c w Amania?
What does ECW have to do with this?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Hey Flair almost came to ECW why can't Hogan.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Maybe that'll be the next story we hear, but this
has gone way too long.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
I appreciate that.

let's his Eyes up here. If you like the title
of this one to lie.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Amnia, no, I don't think so, you know what, Okay,
if you're a hoping work review.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I don't agree with that term, but as consulted.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Look, we can go back and forth all day about this.
You know you are. You've said it before. You You
have professed your undying love for Terry Bulla to me
several times. So don't try to come off like you're
cool now and deny it, because you know you are.
You're a whole media I have.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
An affinity for one, mister Bulla, Yeah I do. But
we're going to get into some of the tall tales
that have been supposedly said by.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
The Hulkster over the last few years.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But uh, we've got a little bit of a spin
that the Chad Star is going to put on some
of these tall tales that you know, Look, there's a
thousand things out there.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
Now, this is a very popular topic.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
All you have to do is type in Hulk Hogan
lies into the YouTube search bar. Tons of shows are
covering it. What are we going to do to make
ourselves stand out? And yes, I could call this lie amania,
but I'm going to switch it up a little bit, Francine,
and I'm going to ask you, just point blank, if
Hulk Hogan lies, then how come Hulk Hold never ever
(02:01):
lied about his time in ECW.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
I don't think Haul Hogan is a fan of ECW.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Okay, I I really don't.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I don't think I think he would. I think he
would come off like so many of the other old timers. Oh,
I don't get it. That's that you know, garbage wrestling
or that Blood and Guts company. That's the way I
think he might come off. I could be wrong because
I've never met him. He's one of the guys in
(02:33):
this business, the legends that I've never had the pleasure
to meet. And let me just let me just say,
I would love to meet Halcogan someday, like you know,
who wouldn't be being in this business. I like to
meet my peers. But I was never a hawk of maniac.
I liked him when he was in the nWo. That's
(02:57):
when I thought he was super cool, Like I'm like, okay,
now he's heel, you know, and the black and white gimmick,
and that's when I really liked Hogan. I did not
like the red and yellow phase. Eh, I don't know.
It just didn't do it for me.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
But if he's such a liar, he sure would have
lied about being in e CW and.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
Being a I don't even know about at the Bingo Hall.
You know.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
Look, he's holding the ECW title. Look, he's at the
corner of Swanson and Writtener.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
Come on, he did and we just haven't heard that
story yet. Maybe he's going to come and say that
him and Paul were the ones who booked the first
barely legal Hm. You know, maybe maybe he'll say something
like that. I don't know. I mean, I look, he
might praise us, he might hate us. You never know.
Most of the old timer guys, they think e CW
(03:49):
was a joke. They think it was just nonsense, not
real wrestling, blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, you know,
and you know, I'm right, that's the consensus.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
I do.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
But here's where I think the discussion of Hulk Hogan
needs to begin.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Okay, is the old timers. They tend to tell tall tales.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Okay, But I think a lot of these discussions that
these guys had in cars, that maybe stayed in cars
back in the seventies, back in the eighties, that now
are being told out to the media, out to fans
that have podcasts, and out to interviewers. They don't really
resonate because they're being fed to the masses.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
And we could just fact.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
Check that Hulk Hogan is arguably and this is the
mark in me, I guess say, in this the biggest
star in the history of wrestling. So what he says
is going to carry a lot of weight. And people
are going to say, no, that's bullshit, that's whatever. But
in his mind that's what happened. But he's been doing
this for forty years. So whether he believes it now
(04:55):
that that's what happened, or he's just maybe he's look,
what if he has dementia?
Speaker 3 (05:01):
What if he.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
You know, so he has dimension Now you said he's
been doing it for forty years, So when he was
thirty years old, did he have dementia or was he
just a.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
Compos of liars. That's where I started to get off
the ring. But okay, so let me let me go
back to my point. So the guy getting.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Caught in your own lies right now, the old timers
that tend to exaggerate about things and tend to say
stuff that.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Look a guy that I know that has.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Been around for a long time, sometimes he says stuff
that I'm like, that doesn't sound like it's right, but
you know he's saying it. Maybe it is, maybe it's not,
but my marked them my time as a fan. No,
maybe I think he's incorrect, but I'm not going to
say anything right now. It happens, But I think he's
just Hulk Hogan and he's under.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
A bigger microscope than everybody else.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Is this like the little white lie you tell your
children you think you have it rough? I used to
walk forty miles in the snow with no boots on
and and just the you know, socks and slippers, and
you know those little white lies that motivate somebody. Or
do you really think that he believes all these things happened?
(06:11):
Does he think that Metallica really wanted him as a
front man for a singer? Like some of these things
are so elaborate and so not believable that you have
to look at this guy and say what planet does
he live on? Like that is one hundred percent fabricated
and it makes him look like a tool.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Yeah, I think he takes stories that he's heard and
they like mold in his brain with other things that
happened in the business in his career, and that like
metestasizes into the actual story then that he tells.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
You don't think that makes his credibility go way down?
I do. I do think maybe how many times can
you say say something that's not true? Like if I
was an interviewer and I got the chance to interview
Hogan and I knew it was gonna be a bunch
of eyes, I would just sit there and laugh my
(07:10):
ass off at him because you know, you're not going
to get any good content. It's going to be a
bunch of bullshit. Right, Why would anyone even want to
talk to him about certain things if he's just gonna
lie all the time, Because now he's a running joke,
like people make fun of him constantly, nothing to do
with his work ethic, because we know he was a
(07:30):
powerhouse in the ring, Like you said, one of the
greatest of all time. Possibly, But when you open your
mouth and all these lies come out and these stories
that are ridiculous, if you were went to school with
a kid like this, you would be like, bro, shut
the fuck up, you're an idiot, Like you know what
(07:51):
I mean. Maybe, but because he's no a hundred percent,
you would a hundred percent. But because he's Haul Cogan,
are you giving him a pass? Is it okay because
he's done so much for the business and he's you know,
larger than life or can you call him on his bullshit?
I love for somebody to just be like, Bro, that
(08:12):
wasn't true. Everybody that interviews him and he seems to
like tell the story, they're just like, really, oh that's great,
and nobody calls him on anything because they're scared to right.
Nobody's gonna question HAULK Hogan as ridiculous as it sounds
when it's coming out of his mouth. There's not one
interviewer that's going to say that never happened with Yeah.
(08:38):
Now after the fact, when you're listening to the people
talk and they're saying, well, that's not true, like you
hear someone like you. I think before we came on,
Jim Cornette, you mentioned Jim Cornette did a whole one
of these on it was calling him out on his bs, right.
Do you think Jim would tell him to his face?
I don't know what their relationship is. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:00):
Im in person, he'd they'd be let yucking it up,
he would give him a handshake.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
I mean, I don't you know, I don't know if
they're like.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Hogan, Jimmy, how you doing, buddy?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
How good is their friendship? Can somebody like a brutus
beefcake has always put over haul Cogan such good friends?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Not the best example of liars.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
I'm just saying. Or Knobs. We saw Knobs, you know,
with him at the restaurant eating, so I'm assuming they're
really good friends. Can Knobs turn around and just be like,
what the hell are you talking about? And maybe Hogan'll
be like, I don't know, I'm just bullshit? Or is
he gonna say, bro, you sound like an idiot? Like
he's close enough to Hogan to call him out, but
(09:44):
an interviewer like I would never say to him, dude,
you are so full of shit?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
And you know what, And somebody like Jimmy Hart or
Brian Kobbs, who's there with him when he's traveling might
say like.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
He talking about h might.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Just say or something like that, Yeah, they have that
good friendship, you know. But somebody like me, who he
doesn't know from Adam and I'm interviewing the guy and
he says, oh, you know, I met Jesus Christ that
the Last Supper? Did you? Oh my god? How was it?
(10:20):
Was it great? How was he to you? What was
the dinner like? What to eat? Like? Am I gonna
say you're you're full of shit? Even though that story
is ridiculous? No? Why Because he's hault Cogan. Nobody's gonna
call him on his bullshit? No one. So that's why
when you hear these stories, they are humorous and and
(10:42):
they are entertaining. But to me, I look at him
and I'm just like, what the hell is this guy
talking about? Like you said, does he have dementia? Is it? Like? Uh,
you know, I hate I'm not trying to get political,
but Biden is talking all this stuff. He talks about
things that were like before his time, or things that
never happened, or things that he says he was at
(11:03):
and he wasn't. The world is making fun of him?
Is the world making fun of whole Cogan for telling
these elaborate stories.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Yes, yes they are.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
The wrestling world is the world.
Speaker 3 (11:13):
But let me grab something.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
Hold on, one said, Oh no, that doesn't make my
buddy sitting on my line make it right.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
That doesn't make it acceptable. Hold on now, talk you're
such a nerd. Look at it, ladies and gentlemen, please.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
And this whole basement is the only wrestling thing that
I have down here. Yeah, the whole thing, only wrestling item.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Right.
Speaker 4 (11:39):
Well, I keep it out because of the kids. But
I'm going to pull up an article by the Sportster.
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Okay, and I look at them all the time. I'm
gonna show you why I think he confuses a lot
of stuff. Okay.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
I think that he takes things he hears and things
that happened in his career and they become the giant
ball of thought in his brain. But you, I think
you hit the nail right on the head about nobody
calling him out when he says something egregiously ridiculous. And
I'll give the big one, uh, the guy Chris van
(12:14):
Valet or villain or whatever vlat whatever how you say
his name, mister pretty face and Spiley teaching.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Let's call him CVB.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
Yeah, CVB.
Speaker 4 (12:26):
He's had plenty of chances to call him out.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
He has it, No one has, No one has. That's
why in my mind, I'm saying, on the side, are
his good friends going, what what the hell? What was
that about? Like? What do you? And he is probably
who cares? Nobody cares, you know, I do what I want.
Speaker 3 (12:48):
Look at this one.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
Mike Tyson was scared to face him in a boxing match. Okay,
this one, I'm not going to read through the whole thing.
I'll just explain it to you. He goes into a
whole story about how there was gonna be a charity
boxing match between Hulk Hogan and Mike Tyson, and he
says it's the nineteen eighties.
Speaker 3 (13:11):
What he's confusing this with is that.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
Mike Tyson was supposed to appear for the w WF
in the nineteen eighties, but after he lost, when Mike
Tyson finally got beat, Tyson's people pulled out and he
never appeared. Okay, that he was supposed to appear on
camera with Hogan. Hogan claims that he was too scared
(13:34):
of him and he never showed up.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
That was the end of it.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
That was could they he'd be talking in in you know,
trying to work the people like like, you know, yeah,
keeping the gimmick up.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
He's saying that they were supposed to have a boxing
match in the eighties. He's talking about he was supposed
to be on w w F TV as a referee
one time and because Tyson lost, Yeah, they they know
showed and they had to get some I forget who
it was buster.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
In this reference. I think he's keeping the gimmick alive
because you never know when Mike Tyson's going to come
back around and want to do that match.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
Okay, next one. This is another one.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
That that is this is bullshit that people call him
on this. He was supposed to be the face of
the George Foreman grill. This is true.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
George Foreman has said this, that the Hogan camp passed.
Speaker 1 (14:27):
I want to hear George Foreman say it.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I wish I had the time to pay I swear
a stack of Bibles. I heard George Foreman say that Hogan.
The way people rip Hogan for this because he said, oh,
I was driving my kids to school and I missed
the call from my agents, and they passed and went
to George Foreman after me. Very plausible in the non
(14:54):
cell phone era, in the in the mid nineties, when
not everybody had a phone on them all.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Right now, if you miss a call, you missed a
call from your agents. You don't think that he called
them back within the same day. Do you think that
literally they took the offer off the table within the
matter of five minutes because they couldn't get him right away.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Yes, I think it's very plausible. I don't in a
business sense. Absolutely, they need somebody right away.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Yes, if they really wanted Hogan as the face of
this grill, they would have waited longer than.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
Five I think they were looking for somebody just to
put on the grill.
Speaker 3 (15:32):
And it didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Who I was even there. And you don't know what
the hell you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
I'm just telling you what to.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
See face for your man. And it's a bunch of
biss all right, let me get it, I'm telling you.
Did I tell you they called me second for the
George Foreman girl and I was in the bathroom and
I missed a call.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
So here's one that I never heard that he wanted
to turn heel In nineteen ninety everyone else Hogan's epic
Heel turned nineteen eighty six, changeing into business. Yet he
claimed six years earlier that you know he wanted he
pitched the Vincy wanted to turn heel at WrestleMania.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Since I can't believe that. Why what is so unbelievable
about that?
Speaker 3 (16:16):
I just can't see it happening. His movie career was
going to start.
Speaker 1 (16:19):
He's lying in this case, he.
Speaker 3 (16:21):
Was the ultimate.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
Yeah, because he saw how good it was when he
turned heel. He's easy to say, hey, I would have
turned hell earlier. And also because the Warrior failed that,
hey I would have if I turned heel, maybe I
could have made him look better.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I think this one I never heard.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
That's okay, well I haven't heard any of these, so
I don't know. We don't know what happens. You know,
in meetings, this could have happened. I'll give him a
pass on this one. You need to find a ridiculous one.
I'm going to find one, because that's the ones that
I'm having a problem wrapping my head around.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Okay, So here's this is the Biggie the Makeaway kid.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
You got to make a wish kid to show he
wasn't on.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Okay, this is the background for that Holkster in Heaven song.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
So oh, now we know what the song's about.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Yes, So he claims that the kid who was the
inspiration behind Halkster and Heaven died before he could sit
front row at SummerSlam ninety two at Wimbley Stadium, but
he didn't make it to watch Hogan wrestle in the
main event of a show.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
That Hogan was not on.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
He wasn't on it.
Speaker 4 (17:40):
He wasn't on it. And he said Hogan said he
was the champion. He was not in the company at
that point. He was out of the WWF during that time.
And Hogan said that he died in between meeting him
in the back and going to the ring, and that
he was in basically an iron lung, okay, and that
(18:01):
he smelled of death before while he was meeting him,
he smelled and reaked of like the scent of death.
Speaker 1 (18:07):
What the heck is the sense of death? There is
no specific sense of.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
Death, I guess like post death. When like, did he.
Speaker 1 (18:15):
Really say that?
Speaker 3 (18:17):
This is what he said? Yeah, this is what he
said in an interview.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yes, that's terrible. At first I was going to say,
maybe he just got the shows mixed up and thought
he was at a different show.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
There's been two shows at Wembley Stadium, SummerSlam ninety two
and the one they just did.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Okay, Well, I guess not then. Look, I am a
victim of pregnancy brain. I forget everything. It could be
pregnancy and concussion brain. I don't know what you want
to call it. Maybe Hogan has CTE. Maybe he's just
a little slow at this stage in the game. I
(18:56):
don't know. But when you open your mouth and you
say stupid, you're gonna be looked at as, you know,
somebody who's not credible anymore. And that's why I I
think people want to interview him just for the sheer
ridiculousness of what's gonna come out of his mouth next,
Like they're waiting for that next ridiculous story to drop.
Speaker 3 (19:19):
Yeah, that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
It's not like because he's done so many interviews, so
it's not like I want to interview Hogan to talk
about all the great things he did in wrestling. No,
I want to interview Hogan to see what kind of
bs comes out of his mouth. Can he top that story?
You know?
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Or to just say that they interviewed.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Well, yeah, that's a given. That's a given because you know,
if you're a wrestling fan, you are pretty much going
to know who Hauled Cogan is. You might not be
a fan of his, but if you're a journalist, then
you get the opportunity to talk with him, you're going
to jump on it. But like for me, like if
I'm going to talk to him, I would try to
egg him on to tell me something so ridiculous because
(20:01):
you know you're going to go viral with it. Oh
another hoganism.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Oh yeah, you're right, because that's where I think.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
But that's why I get so incensed about it, because
I don't think it's about the hulkster telling you know,
a tall tale and this is the next one that
I'm going to present to you that you're going to
be like.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Oh, okay, this isn't that he's lying.
Speaker 4 (20:25):
This is more of an old timer who is trying
to maybe teach a young guy a lesson. Okay, And
now they're calling him a liar because everything he ever
said is being scrutinized and he's being called a liar ready,
I think so.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Off of this pile driver, Yes, you could fit a
couch kutschen underneath his head. There's so much room. That's
what you call protecting each other right there.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
Yep. So that's the finish to uh uh Survivor series.
Nice nay one. Hogan kept warning him, protect my neck,
protect my neck.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
Now.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Hogan's putting over the Undertaker at this show. Okay, he
was shocking victory at the time because nobody knew that
the Undertaker came out of nowhere. Hogan kept building him up.
Protect my neck, Protect my neck, protect my neck, and
the Hulkster, who would win the title back about six
days later, told him in the back, hey, brother, I
(21:27):
think he broke my neck. You know, Stinger, you know,
laying there in the ring, had the officials come out,
well help him to the back and everything, and led
Undertaker to believe for two years that he almost broke
his neck because of the tombstone and how he landed him.
But Undertaker watched the footage and said, basically, what you
(21:48):
just said that you could fit a pillow underneath.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
Oh my god, the ring.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Is that a lie or a vet trying to teach
a lesson to the rookie?
Speaker 1 (21:56):
What kind of lesson? He protected him? This is this
is can you can't get him anymore off the ground.
I mean, his head's in his bullsack. For God's sakes,
he's nowhere near the mat. Seriously, Like, and when two
years went by, did the Undertaker just come to the
conclusion by himself or did Hogan admit it?
Speaker 3 (22:18):
Oh, he watched the video.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
He two years to watch the video, I guess.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
I guess he didn't feel like the title match back.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
But then then years later, Undertaker would be a very
vocal opponent of him coming back to the company because
of that, because he said he's piece of shit, you know,
for what he did to me, because that was the Hey, look,
this is what these old timers do. They watched their spot.
You know, they don't want somebody coming in and doing it.
(22:46):
But that was an old timer move to this young
rookie at the time.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
So why did he drop the belt only six days after?
Do you think it was punishment? Do you think that
Hogan went to Vince and said, hey, brother, he hurt
my neck. Yes, so he was a stooge on top
of yeah, and he wasn't hurt at all. No, see now,
(23:10):
all right, if his neck was severely hurt, though, don't
you think WWF at the time would have sent him
to a specialist to get checked out. And I mean,
you don't let your top star wrestle with a broken neck.
So why didn't they do anything to check to see
if this was valid?
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Nineteen ninety one?
Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yes, so what they're not.
Speaker 3 (23:32):
Come on, they're not doing stuff like that back then.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
So you're gonna tell me nineteen ninety one, if I
go up to Vince McMahon and I'm the champ and
I say my neck is broken, he's gonna say, just
go out there and suck it up. He's not going
to make me go look at a specialist. Probably, Oh
my god, what the hell? I don't know, man, that's ridiculous.
(23:56):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
That's another one.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I never heard that one. So that see, that makes
me like him even less.
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Now, okay, this is another one that gets scrutinized a lot.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
In one year. Now, okay, we all know, well most
of us know, there are three hundred and sixty five
days in a year, sometimes three sixty six if you
have a leap year. Did he mean maybe he wrestled
twice in a day and he just he just worded
(24:30):
this incorrectly.
Speaker 4 (24:32):
Like, so I think sort of, I think he meant
yeah the twice on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Twice, Yeah, like sometimes they had to work double or
did they did a run in they had worked two times?
Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah, But I also think he could have meant And
they're showing the picture of him with a tiger mask.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Traveling to Japan.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
That looks like Ray Mysterio right there, look at the eyes.
Speaker 4 (24:55):
Yeah, but you know what I mean, like, losing today,
gaining today, losing to day gaining today, is that.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Really plausible for one year though?
Speaker 3 (25:05):
I've bet that that's the argument.
Speaker 1 (25:07):
I I I just I think he's not thinking clearly.
I think he's saying things that he thinks add up
and they just don't, and it makes him look like
an idiot. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Terry, I'm sorry. Hulk fans.
You gotta agree with me on the.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Come on, it's it's ridiculous. That's a ridiculous one.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
If this was anyone else, people would be I mean
all over all over them, you know what I mean.
But because because it's Hulk Hougan and he carries so
much pristine in the wrestling business. Again, who's calling the
guy out? No one behind his back.
Speaker 3 (25:52):
Yes, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Oh my god, we can go all day with this.
Good Lord, this is the longest one we've ever done.
He out drank John. Wasn't he dead?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Yes, he died in nineteen eighty two.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
WrestleMania six in nineteen eighty WrestleMania two is in nineteen
eighty six.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
Yes see I even knew this one. But well, that's
why he out drank him, because he was dead.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Here's where I'm gonna defend the hulsty.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh my god, give me a break.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
Do you think perhaps that Hulk Hogan, while being interviewed,
may have confused John Belushi with Jim Belushi.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
Was Jim bel at WrestleMania two.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
This was after WrestleMania two, so he's in Hollywood. Hulk
Hogan was on the LA. WrestleMania three is in three locations, La, Chicago,
New York. Jim Belushi is a is a Hollywood superstar.
John Belushi would have been in New York if this
story made sense for WrestleMania two because of Saturday Night Live.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Jimbal would have been in LA because he's a movie star.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Perhaps the Hulkster made a slip of the tongue and
meant to say Jim Belushi, and everybody's running there being like, oh,
he's so stupid.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
Read the title. He out drank John Balucci after WrestleMania two.
For me, I would put together, Okay, was John Balucci
part of WrestleMania two. When you say after WrestleMania two,
it makes me think after the show they go out,
they go to a bar and they're drinking. It doesn't
(27:34):
make me think, Oh, WrestleMania two happened on so and
so date, six months after he met Jim Balucci in
LA and he out drank gym. No, that's not what
that means. That means that he had some thing to
do with WrestleMania two, and after the show is over
he out drank them. That's the way I take it.
(27:55):
You can't. You can't put months on two. Oh, well,
maybe it was after WrestleMania three or WrestleMania For No,
he's saying after WrestleMania two happened, yes, and he out drives.
So apparently John Bealucci was at WrestleMania too. They went
out afterwards and drank and haul coke and drank him
(28:16):
under the table. In reality, John's dead not a part
of WrestleMania too, So therefore it is a huge lie.
You don't get confused with his brother, who's not even
in the state or at the show. No.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
Wrong, the article suggests that maybe he also confused him
with his brother as well.
Speaker 1 (28:39):
No, the article's wrong.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
All right, I'm gonna give you two more.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
If I say I met I met Matthew Perry from
friends after Barely Legal, after the pay per view Barely Legal,
how would you take that? I would take it? Oh
my god, Matthew Perry was in the audience at Barely
Legal and she at him. How cool? He's a wrestling fan. No,
after Barely Legal. Maybe it was five years after when
(29:07):
I went to a thing in California and there's Matthew Perky. No,
he's trying to say that after the show was over,
they went out drinking and he's dead. He's a ma
fat liar, that stir liar.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
All right, how about this one?
Speaker 4 (29:26):
This is a good one, kind of in the same vein.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
Oh god, in nineteen fifty six.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Well, now let's do a little math.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
What what year was this?
Speaker 3 (29:40):
Now the birth of Hulcomania, Depending on who you ask.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Either is in the Awa in nineteen eighty three, okay,
or in the WWF in nineteen eighty four.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
And what year did Delvis die?
Speaker 3 (29:55):
Nineteen seventy seven or seventy eight?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
So is he confused with an impersonator from Vegas? Thought
he might have met on the strip?
Speaker 3 (30:02):
Do you think maybe the hockey talk man? I mean,
come on, how.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Can he say this with a straight face. He's losing
his mind. He's really out there. You can't justify this.
As much as you love him, you can justify this one.
You can't, dude, You.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
Cannot was a little far fetched.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
Bruh, it's a lot far fetched. This one's just ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (30:35):
This one's out there. Hulkster broken in Memphis, right, so
there's a correlation, but hulks are broken in Memphis two
years after Elvis passed away tragically.
Speaker 4 (30:48):
Elvis was a big fan of Jerry Lawler. Uh you
know there was a wrestling connection. But yeah, I don't
know where the Hulkster fits into this one.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
This is just this is exhausting. It's really this. This
one's too much. And why whoever interviewed him and he
told this story, why would they not say something because
he's hall cocin. I would have been like, oh, wait
a minute, sir, I think he was dead. I think
he was dead when you debuted. How do you and
(31:22):
and he would have squirmed. That would be a good one.
Like if somebody called them out during an interview, especially
a live interview where you can't edit it, Can we
book him for eyes up here? Because I swear I
would bury him. I don't care anymore. I'm going for
the journalism.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
I would do this. I would remove myself.
Speaker 1 (31:44):
He would just Now, this.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Is one I haven't heard. We'll do this is the
last one. I mean the Metallica one. Really, Okay, here's
the last one.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Did you guys hear that he thinks he's the least singer.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
Material was the bass player.
Speaker 4 (31:58):
It was that when they would looks player. And there's
like three versions of his story of it so plausible.
It's one I never heard. So this is the first
time I'm seeing this.
Speaker 3 (32:12):
Oh, his fight with Randy Savage.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
Savage on Saturday Night's Main Event was real. Now do
you know this story?
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Now?
Speaker 4 (32:24):
So the Mega Powers exploded on the main Event, which
was the Saturday Night's Main Event primetime version of their
Big Their Their Big Main show back in the eighties.
This is where they started the build up for the
breakup of Hogan and Savage.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
Right.
Speaker 4 (32:40):
What happened was Macho Megat's thrown out of the ring,
takes out Elizabeth, she takes a megabump, she gets wiped out,
and Hogan leaves ringside, carrying her to the back to
get medical attention. So he's at her side, right, and
Macho Man comes in mad basically saying like, why are
(33:03):
you at her side?
Speaker 3 (33:04):
Why are you you know, coming in on my woman?
I get it okay.
Speaker 4 (33:10):
Well, according to The Hulkster and the Randy Savage documentary
that WWE had produced this past year, the infamous backstage
fight between Hogan and Savage that led to their breakup
as a team was brought up. According to Hogan, however,
this altercation wasn't part of the script. He claimed that
the ww cameras happened to walk in on them while
(33:31):
the two were engaged in a real fight.
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Well, now I would have to see the footage to
see if it was a work fight or if it
was a real fight, because I can tell.
Speaker 4 (33:44):
Now the footage is pretty infamous because they were live
and the Hulkster is caught on camera asking the director
for a countdown.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
We lie.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
So the Hulkster the Hulks are sitting there with Elizabeth
going like.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
This's like okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
He's like, okay, give me a countdown, and I go
we're back and he goes, oh, oh my god, yeah
see that and that one I've never heard before, and
again this one we can.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
I can have an argument for the marks think it's real.
Speaker 4 (34:24):
So he's just talking to the marks and they're gonna
be like, oh wow, it was real.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Oh my god. You guys really did hate each other.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
But how stupid are you if you have seen the
footage and that part is included that makes you look
like an idiot?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Not although I have to say you have to dig
deep for that one. I don't think everybody. If you
just are the layman and you just watching it casually,
you know.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
We're done with this because you have an excuse for
every lame thing that this guy says. Well, I mean
except for the Elvis one. That one. You know, God
is this You're blinded by love? That's what I texted you.
You're so enamorate that love is blind and.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
You we before we get out of here, and you're
closing thoughts on ECW mania because this is the uh,
this is what's.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
Going to draw people in. It's the time Hulk Hogan
almost came to ECW.
Speaker 1 (35:23):
Is that what this is called? Because we're going to
be liar?
Speaker 4 (35:27):
Well, if everybody says he's a liar, it's going to
be the time Hulk Hogan almost came to ec I.
Speaker 1 (35:32):
Should name it Hogan reminiscences about the time he almost
worked for ECW.
Speaker 4 (35:37):
Hulk Hogan lies and other Hulk Hogan lies and almost
came to ECW.
Speaker 3 (35:41):
Question Mark, Well.
Speaker 1 (35:42):
No, that doesn't sound right, but we'll think we'll think
of the good Yeah, we'll think of a good Jesus fun.
This is ridiculous. It's so ridiculous, but it's entertaining, right, yes,
and it keeps people entertained. I just wish one person
would be like, you are so pull of shit, sir,
with all due respect, you're full of shit. What do
(36:06):
you guys think watching this? Do you think Hogan is
a piece of work? Or does he get a pass
because he's Hogan? And why is this e c w Amania?
What does ECW have to do with this?
Speaker 3 (36:20):
Hey Flair almost came to ECW why can't Hogan.
Speaker 1 (36:24):
Maybe that'll be the next story we hear, but this
has gone way too long.
