War is Raw Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hulk Hogan really shined on the podcast. Felt like he is finally at the stage of his life where he has been humbled and is more genuine and coherent than before. We could always try and question and fact check his version of history, but he could pass a lie detector because he believes it. (Does it really matter who had entrance music first in the WWF or if he invented selling t-shirts or if he scripted Andre and Warrior's matches without Patterson or if he wanted to become "HHH" at WM?) I don't want to focus on the nitpicks, though. This was a good walkthrough of his early career and enjoyable podcast. I felt his timeline of events was even better than when he testified in the Gawker case. It jived with other interviews and books from Dr. D, Brian Blair, Grahams, Gagnes, Backlund, et al. Bottom line, though, is he came off as a wrestling fan and someone who is self-aware of the criticisms of his ego. I hope fans take a closer look at his earlier work to see how he controlled the crowd, and how it's kinda dumb to knock his formula. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomethingSavage Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I haven't been listening since Austin returned, but I'm gonna go out of my way to check this one out. Appreciate the heads up & the review, man. Hogan came off really well in his appearance on 83 Weeks also. It was brief, but Hulk sounded like he was genuinely enthused and delighted in discussing Dusty Rhodes. Hulk talked about his own fandom & his Japan stuff a bit there, too. Very cool and worth seeking out if anyone hasn't heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Jackson Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I thought the Hogan interview was good, but my fave is still the one he did with Jericho from a few years back, as far as most laid back and least bs is concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 9, 2019 Report Share Posted August 9, 2019 I have no trouble believing Hogan thought about turning heel against Warrior, even going as far as to say he had the Hollywood Hogan character in mind at that point. I've got to think it was at least on his mind some during this time, if he even considered it an irrational business move. And when the time came several years later it was probably he just had it in mind to call himself that, even if his movie career was going down the tubes, compared to 1990 when he could at least be in something which had a life in theaters.

flyonthewall2983 Posted September 30, 2019 Report Share Posted September 30, 2019 His recent interview with Big Show is pretty good, talking a lot about him growing up and his new Netflix show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Anyone want to talk me into listening to the RVD episode? I could see that going either way but would prefer to hear someone say its interesting before making time for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
