There are two theories floating around. The first being that they thought it was a possible merchandise opportunity, the other being that Hogan's hairline was receding, fast. So they tried that as a way to cover it up. -

He made his wrestling debut in 1977, which would put him at 24. He was in Rocky III in 1982, which would put him at 29. Apparently, doing Rocky III caused Vince Sr. to fire Hogan Patterson was the booker around that time. There's an urban legend that Virgil got his job with the WWF by walking into Patterson's office, whipping his dick out, and placing it on Patterson's desk. Virgil, that guy is a character all of his own. Some of the stories that involve that guy make Hogan's lies seem somewhat reasonable. And here's where he can be found slinging his goods. -

If you want an indication of how long it probably took for these movies to be made, this is what he's like when trying to remember lines Which segways nicely into another peach. "I would rewrite all of my movies, but there was a legal thing that means I didn't get any Writing Credits." "The reason why my movies didn't do as well as they should have done is because, in my early 20s, a Hollywood producer came onto me, and I rejected him, I was blackballed ever since." So, the reason such well written, modern classics like "Santa With Muscles" didn't do well isn't because they were TERRIBLE, but because he was blackballed for not accepting the advances of a gay producer. Which makes the video all the more ironic, as he says he was "The right gay, at the right time". -

Ali would probably still be in a knot to this very day. -

I have no words for this. He actually wrestled in this for a brief period. -

Well, MMA was first conceived in the Ancient Olympics with Pankration, that was basically a free for all, where they weren't allowed to poke eyes or bite, everything else was good. Then, in Brazil, you had Vale Tudo and Lutre Livre (obviously, not to be confused with Lucha Libre haha). It's funny though, they actually made the Cro Cop/Takada fight in PRIDE so it would be like Ali/Inoki. Difference being, Inoki FUCKED Ali up, when you hear about what happened to Ali's leg, Ali was messed up. -

When a guy is going to have a fight with Muhammad Ali, and Ali and his camp say "Fuck this, we need some rules in this shit", then you're a bad motherfucker. -

Okay, some more "I actually killed Antonio Inoki in the ring, but they brought him back to life with CPR. I couldn't leave Japan for a while, because the fans and the Japanese Mafia wanted to have me killed because Inoki is so well loved over there!" Inoki wasn't even close to dying. Inoki had to take time off, so they ran an injury angle to write him out of events until he was ready to come back "It was actually my idea for the WWF to start releasing merchandise" It wasn't "I had this idea about having entrance music, we did it, and was the first guy ever to have his own entrance music" He wasn't -

Funny thing about The Nasty Boys, HHH has said "As long as I'm here, those guy's aren't coming back here, ever", because of the way they acted when they had a dark match try out to try to get back into WWE. They made their entrance, which takes them about 15 minutes, which fucked up the entire timing of the TV Taping. When they FINALLY got into the ring, they took massive liberties with Drew McIntyre, who (at the time was a 22 year old rookie), to the point where his Tag Team partner (Dave Taylor), tagged himself into the match to protect Drew, and when he got back into the match, Dave told him to stiff them back. So, the match basically turned into a fight. Drew was commended for not whining and bitching about it, and following the instructions of his coach, and actually standing up for himself. So, even though he's in 3MB, and is a jobber right now, Drew's probably got a job for a long time, not only because of that incident, but he also saved Alberto Del Rio when he was jumped a few months ago. -

Well, I have a feeling that they're Spaghetti-o's at a 300% mark up. -
That was an awesome piece. Street Fighter could be an excellent movie if they did it more akin to the Manga Animated Movie, which focused on Ryu (as it should, it's a Street Fighter movie). They make a live action version of that. Then they'd really have something.

Or, the recent thing with MVP buying up the company, and what they did horribly wrong. 1) When the "new owner" showed up, instead of having him turn up in a limo, he turns up in a van, not a hummer, or anything like that, a van. 2) The guy is a former Mid Card guy in WWE, so, what they've basically said is that a mid carder in WWE is paid well enough to buy a controlling stake in TNA. WCW was just a law unto itself. JJ Dillon, who was WCW's Talent Relations guy said that there were guys working harder to get out of work than they were in the ring. Nash backed it up and said he saw guys in the locker room saying "I don't give a shit if I'm not on the card, I've got 3 years left on my contract." Although, it was alright for Nash, he was on a favoured nations contract. When WCW folded, he was making a guarunteed $3m per year. -

The best one was when he showed up in TNA, his first show, they show this limo pulling up, and Hogan getting out of it, commentators losing their shit "HOGAN IS HERE!!" Then, his first line in a TNA ring "I've been in the back all day, brother!" Hogan fucked TNA right up. -

The funny thing is, Eric Bischoff buying the company could have saved it if Jamie Kellner didn't come into the picture at Turner and say "Fuck you, we're not having any Wrestling on our network" (he didn't say it like that, but that's the gist of it). So, Bischoff's people said "If there's no distribution, there's no money" and pulled out. They sold it to Vince for $3 million dollars. A figure that Chris Jericho said "If I knew it was going for that much, I'd have bought it myself." WWE actually did try shop WCW around different networks, but Buff Bagwell and Booker T had a TERRIBLE match, and fucked up the deal. And then there's the Stasiak incident at WrestleMania. -

Yeah, the version that Nash tells (who is a bullshit artist in his own right) said that they went to Hogan, he said no, they went to Sting, he about pitched a temper tantrum, there was even talk of trying to lure the British Bulldog over too. Then Hogan "saw the Money Train leaving the station" and decided to hop on. Here's something funny about that whole nWo thing, because of the pay structure in WCW, they actual LOST money on nWo shirts. Ooooh, they should to Ready to Rumble on the show. -

Now, I know we've been taking the piss out of Hogan, but he does possess something that very few people have, and that's the most amazing eyesight the world has ever seen -

Okay, I found one which continues the "Hulkster in Heaven" story, and takes it to an entirely new scumbag direction. "I read the story of Jamie Bulger, and that inspired me to write 'Hulkster in Heaven'" Now, if you don't know the story of Jamie Bulger, just don't look it up, for your own sake, it's a horrendous story, which makes it even worse that Hogan would use it to make himself look good, especially considering he told a completely different story in the book. "I originally came up with the idea for the New World Order group in WCW. But, I wanted it to be Brutus Beefcake, The Nasty Boys and myself." (WCW didn't even come up with the idea for the nWo, they stole the idea from New Japan. What makes it even better, they pitched the idea of him joining the group, he shot the idea down, said he wanted to be a good guy, even though he was getting booed out of all the arenas, and wasn't until he saw how well Scott Hall and Kevin Nash were being booked, and he changed his mind) -

Well, you'd think that, but this is Hogan, he means entirely new belts, the exact quote from his novel... I mean "Autobiography" was "10 or 12 title belts a month", so they'd throw out the title belt, and buy an entirely knew one. -

No I didn't avoid it, I was just sharing hilarious bullshit, but feel free to share whatever. He also threatened another kid who was trying to pull Brooke, he told him that he'd send Hell's Angels to his house to break his legs and that the kid was (and I wish I was making this up) "Messing with Hulkamania, brother". -

Okay, some more from the Huckster "I was in a charity "Boxer vs. Wrestler" fight with George Foreman, and I hung in with him, he even hit me with a shot that made my legs go numb" (There's absolutely ZERO evidence that this "charity fight" ever took place, none whatsoever.) "The Rock broke almost all of my ribs at WrestleMania 18 with the Rock Bottom, he wanted to end the match there and then, I told him to relax, and told him to give me another Rock Bottom for good measure" (For those of you that are unaware of what the Rock Bottom is, take a looksee at this... Now, the infamous, rib shattering happens at 2 minutes into this compilation "I used to sweat so much, Vince McMahon had to keep on buying new belts, he would buy 10 or 12 belts per month, because I was sweating through them" (Hogan held the WWF World Championship for 2,185 days in all, it's about 73 months, if Vince was to buy 10 belts a month, whilst you can buy a replica for about $250, a genuine, TV belt, that sets the company back A LOT of money. The current WWE belt cost $50,000, so, imagine laying that much out, 10 times a month) "Harley Race showed up to the building in Kansas City, and threatened the WWF staff with a gun, he then set the ring on fire. He then told them that he was coming back later to break both my legs, and then put a bullet in them... Harley Race came back, I was sat on the toilet and Davey Boy Smith ran into the bathroom and said "He's here!" So I got up without wiping my ass, went out to confront Harley... he stuck his hand out, and thanked me for what I had done for the Wrestling business, and asked for a job in the WWF" (Harley Race is a fucking badass, so if he's gonna threaten someone, he doesn't need to use a gun, he once intimidated a Doctor into giving Mick Foley free medical treatment just by talking to him. Also, Harley was the NWA World Heavyweight Champion in a time when the NWA was huge, so him asking Hogan for a job when he was one of the biggest stars in the world is ridiculous). -
