Likely loaded with the usual Hogan tall tales and revisionist history. Maybe Schiavello, who is a huge wrestling mark, will call him on his bullshit, but I doubt it. Hogan puts that spell on you.

Hogan's got dat voodoo when you try to interview him, for sure.

Examples ?

I always hear that but always seems like guys are hesitant to say what it is or just allude to them in interviews.
Closest things Ive heard were him getting pissed at Ricky Steamboat after WM3 ,and bringing in/hyping the Big Show just to make himself look good beating him.

That should be either just plain awesome or hilariously awesome.

Can't wait to hear Hogan talk about being scared of Andre shooting on him at WM3, how he killed Andre with the bodyslam and other nonsense.

If he could ever be relatively honest, imagine the stories he can tell.

Like empire alluded to, Hogan has claimed in the past that the Andre match was actually a shoot, but Andre let him get the slam and pin. "Slam me, boss". He has also claimed that Andre was over 1000 lbs at the time (he was more like 450 - 480), and that Andre died a few days after the match due to the power of Hulkamania, brother (Andre died 6 or 7 years after the match, and was actually an active wrestler most of that time. He wrestled a match in Japan a few weeks before he died).

Hogan also wildly exaggerates attendace figures, payoffs, ratings, etc. All wrestlers do this, but Hogan is extreme. He once claimed 150,000 people were at WMII, which is laughable (the 93k WWE claims isn't even true).

A lot of his nonsense is likely bad memory, but he is also the ultimate con man and always working at all times. Basically, anything Hogan says you can assume is either fabricated or exaggerated.

Exactly @ Hogan "working" at all times. Dude is never off the clock. He's always Hulk Hogan, never Terry Bollea. He lost Terry a looooong time ago.

My favorite Hogan bullshit:

He claims while on the road, a then unknown appliance maker left him a messege on his answering machine concerning the endorsement of a revolutionary new product. By the time he got home and heard the messege, he claimed the company had already signed a deal with their seciond choice.

And thus, the "George Foreman Grill" was born.

You may recall, Hogan had a knockoff Foreman grill out a few years later called the Hulk Press or some shit.

Even when its not just about him, its still revisionist bullshit. There is a great clip of him explaing "his take" on the Montreal incident. Its just jibberish. Like getting a 6 year old to explain World War II - somehow there are disosaurs and the Playstation Network involved....

LOL

I believe it was "teeny tiny" Shawn Michaels pinning Bret Hart in a shoot at the Wrestlemania in Houston (2001).

 

[SHOGUN]

This is a pretty interesting watch.

Jeez, not 3 minutes into the thing, Hogan says Andre was nearly 700 pounds and how he tore a bunch of muscles in his arms, back with the WM 3 bodyslam.

Schiavello ate it all up. :facepalm:
