Hansen in No holds barred

By Scott Keith on 15 June 2018

Hey Scott-
Any particular reason that Stan Hansen got the nod for the movie? 
He would be good for the wrestling scenes obviously and was unknown really to the wwf audience.  But why not use one of your own talent in that role.  You could have done the whole “he got mad at Hulk for something he did in the movie” storyline.  And for that matter. They kind of wasted doing that storyline with Hansen himself.   
I’m sure he would have had no problem working the circuit and then going back to Japan.

Keep up the good work. 

There was no real reasoning, they just decided Hansen was the best guy for that role.  Definitely Stan could have done business with Hulk in 89, though.  Probably would have been fun!
