Historian Hulk Hogan
By Scott Keith on 10 October 2024
Hey SK,
Finished the Vince documentary and I know it could have been better. But considering the whoppers Hulk Hogan told, and sticks to… it’s possible that Hogan has finally become the Abraham Simpson of professional wrestling.
So it begs the question, which is your favorite of all of Hulk’s outlandish tales? To me it’s the wrestling 400 days a year due to crossing the international date line. I am almost surprised that he didn’t claim he was able to reverse time by running backwards around the world causing the world to spin backwards and by doing so he was able to invent pro wrestling brother!
He’s not Timecop!
You know the sad thing about his 400 dates thing is also a point I made in my review of Mr McMahon. The most dates he ever worked, like at the peak of Hulkamania in 1986, was 138! And he didn’t even work Japan that year! So not only was he not working like the dog he portrays in these interviews, he was working way less than pretty much any pushed guy on the show. Hearing him and Jimmy Hart justify the WCW deal as some kind of masterful godsend that saved his career from the WWF grind is one of the dumbest moments of the doc.
