Short filmTranscript
00:00:12You
00:00:20We all live in manufactured realities
00:00:25Soon as I was near who the hell's that
00:00:30We all follow that some sort of the script
00:00:38All of us in a way have a performative life as a father I am performative
00:00:48And in your own wedding you are performative and on and on and on and it's part of human nature
00:00:55of the human experience
00:00:56There's nothing wrong about it
00:01:00Three, two, four
00:01:01You know something maniacs
00:01:03I'm all pumped up about main event karaoke tonight brother
00:01:07I was walking down to meet you
00:01:09Well in case of Hulk Hogan it would be interesting to look into the performer and into the real Hulk
00:01:18Hogan if
00:01:20He still exists
00:01:21You know something Hulkamaniacs
00:01:23I was all pumped up about
00:01:25Hogan's main event karaoke tonight 8pm at Hogan's hangout
00:01:29When I was strolling down the beach in my banana hammock earlier today
00:01:33They were posing out in the parking lot
00:01:36They were posing on the beach
00:01:37Does he lift the illusion himself of being this character
00:01:43But let me tell you something brother
00:01:45Hulkamania is still running wild
00:01:47Now you know what it's all about brother
00:01:49So what you gonna do when all my locals start singing and they tear the house down
00:01:55Just for you brother
00:01:59We have to know is there something authentic something real something truthful about it
00:02:06That was harder than the workout
00:02:08Okay
00:02:09We'll see you guys down the road now
00:02:11I'll call you in just a little while
00:02:12How much has he adopted the role of Hulk Hogan in his own private life?
00:02:20Do you know his real name?
00:02:22Hulk Hogan?
00:02:23Yes
00:02:23Oh I don't even want to know his real name
00:02:26No
00:02:26Keep it your secret
00:02:38It's an awesome shirt
00:02:42It's there
00:02:43It's small
00:02:43Come back
00:02:44Come back
00:02:45Come back
00:02:46Come back
00:02:46Come back
00:02:47Come back
00:02:47Come back
00:02:54Drop your head back down
00:02:55Good
00:02:55Drop it down
00:02:56Excellent
00:02:59I'm gonna turn up the electricity on this side
00:03:01Just let me know in
00:03:02That hip on that side hurt stuck
00:03:06At this point you've done so much and here you are just to get out there and go through this
00:03:15You're a complete circle brother it's uh
00:03:20The job's not done yet man you gotta make sure this is an art form that if you love it
00:03:27it's in your blood
00:03:28Not even get a pair of boots from Santa for Christmas you know
00:03:33Following Wrestlemania 18
00:03:36Vince was back in love with Hulk Hogan
00:03:39And it was like hey we're gonna jump back on the Hulk Hogan train and all of us were like
00:03:43No like this is he got a nostalgia pop this thing will be dead in three weeks
00:03:53I actually should have quit back about 90
00:03:58I could have really ramped up the movie stuff and the TV stuff but instead I kept going back again
00:04:05So
00:04:06You see Hulk Hogan beating up the people
00:04:09Beating up the Hulkamaniacs
00:04:14Twenty you know thousand people roaring
00:04:22There's nothing like that
00:04:23You're walking that tightrope
00:04:25Hulk Hogan beating up the Hulkamaniacs
00:04:27This business is so tough to leave
00:04:30And you know they know I'm a step slower
00:04:33You know they know
00:04:34You know I'm
00:04:36You know I'm boneless time here and I love it
00:04:38And they respect that you know
00:04:40I'm the last of a breed you know
00:04:42And uh
00:04:44The respect they show me
00:04:47If I die I hope I die out there
00:04:53Everybody always says if you could do it over again would you?
00:04:57I would change one thing
00:04:58I started dropping the leg when I was in Japan
00:05:04My arms used to be really huge
00:05:06So why would you jump up and drop the leg and land on your tailbone every night for 40 plus
00:05:10years
00:05:10When you can use the sleeper hold and not take any bumps
00:05:14One thing about this business no one leave unscathed
00:05:18Every time Hulk Hogan did that leg drop
00:05:21Compounding on his back
00:05:22Every time
00:05:25Those were the small things over years add up
00:05:28You know I kind of like kept rolling you know
00:05:31But I wouldn't have been like this now
00:05:34You know I would have been like a normal 17 year old guy that I could walk around
00:05:37And wouldn't be limping
00:05:41The back surgeries, the knee replacements, the shoulder replacements, the hands and everything
00:05:46I was supposed to get three epidurals a year
00:05:51I was getting three a week
00:05:54But of course that's the price you pay
00:05:57You know it would be different, I'd be completely a different person
00:06:00But would you give up the other stuff?
00:06:02No
00:06:07No
00:06:07No
00:06:08Yeah
00:06:10When you look at Hulk Hogan, he went an extra lap
00:06:17Hogan at this stage of his career is incredibly limited
00:06:19He's old, he's beat up
00:06:23Shawn Michaels got their sharks here on Hulk Hogan
00:06:26Shawn Michaels was making fun of how old I was
00:06:28And how beat up I was
00:06:31Getting old brother
00:06:32When I got news for you
00:06:34I'll be a hundred and two years old brother
00:06:36By the time I step into the ring at SummerSlam
00:06:38And then for SummerSlam, he went out and oversold to make it a joke
00:06:49It's on Shawn to make the match exciting
00:06:55Even if you're a giant Hulk Hogan fan, you start to wonder what he's still doing there
00:07:00A year later, I wrestled Randy Orton
00:07:03So I had no idea that was going to be the last match in the WWE
00:07:24I mean, you relied on your physical body and performance for a long time
00:07:28And was that hard to not be able to lean on that again?
00:07:31Well, it's still hard, you know, it's still hard because you step back into the real world
00:07:37Ooh, hi
00:07:39Jeez, what a short night
00:07:42What did Santa Claus bring to you, huh?
00:07:46What the?
00:07:47You know, you have your highs and your lows and you have family issues
00:07:51And Zelinda was on her own there for a long time
00:07:55That was his life
00:07:58He was out of the house more than he was home
00:08:02I've been gone so much
00:08:05My family, my marriage was already pretty much in shambles already at that point
00:08:13And he would just sit there on the couch, he liked to watch a lot of movies
00:08:16Just kind of quiet, he didn't like to make a lot of conversation at dinner
00:08:19He really wasn't like Mr. Personality at home anymore
00:08:24When you're a celebrity, you belong to the public
00:08:26And I'm like, don't you have somewhere to be?
00:08:30We forgot cookies and milk
00:08:31We forgot gadgets
00:08:34Well, go get it
00:08:35Dad got a Segway
00:08:40I woke up one day and I was an old man
00:08:43They didn't know what happened
00:08:47I had missed the family unit
00:08:50The connection that me and Terry had
00:08:54I'd say, alright, let's at least do something nice as a family with the kids
00:08:58Just have fun, again, let's just do something as a family
00:09:01Alright
00:09:03Look back at me, guys
00:09:06No, we're not
00:09:09And then one day
00:09:12I got a call from VH1
00:09:15About doing a reality show
00:09:16Linduce
00:09:18And he called me Linduce, which means little Linda
00:09:20And we were all in the family room
00:09:21And he's like, hey, I got a proposition for you guys
00:09:24Do you guys want to do a reality TV show?
00:09:28And of course the kids are like, yes!
00:09:30You know, because we saw, you know, the Osbournes and Jessica Simpson and Brooke was all, you know, about that
00:09:35She's like, yeah, that would be cool
00:09:37Oh, my God, Mom
00:09:38I'm gonna cry
00:09:40Uh-oh, she's beginning to tear
00:09:42That was a pretty exciting thing
00:09:44It's so awesome
00:09:45You know, I think it was exciting for Terry
00:09:48He wanted that platform
00:09:50I explained to Linda that my prayer was that it would bring, you know, Linda and I together on some
00:09:57form or another to have something in common
00:10:00Where we could, you know, be excited about something and move forward
00:10:06We're in business
00:10:08Fuck it, alright, I'm down with that
00:10:10Yeah, let's do it
00:10:11I can't believe my dad said yes
00:10:13Like, I'm just praying to God
00:10:14I'm like, please don't let me wake up
00:10:15Please don't let it be a dream
00:10:17Brooke always wanted to be a singer
00:10:19She wanted to be the next Britney Spears
00:10:21And he was like, they want to make it like a stage dad thing
00:10:24Is that okay?
00:10:25That works for me
00:10:28Hogan knows best
00:10:30To help Brooke with her singing career
00:10:31To help Nick establish himself, you know
00:10:35So one day he wouldn't have to be called Nick Hogan or Brooke Hogan
00:10:38They could be the Boles and have their own career
00:10:41You know, I think Linda
00:10:43Let's see, how do you work my camera here?
00:10:46Always wanted to be in front of the camera instead of behind the camera
00:10:49Okay, cut
00:10:53And I said, some of the things that are gonna happen
00:10:56You'll be thrown into the celebrity world
00:10:58If the show does good
00:10:59And life, as you know, it will cease to exist
00:11:02It's the calm before the storm
00:11:06Like he said, just make sure you guys fully are aware of what we're getting into
00:11:11And I said, hey, I'm down, let's go
00:11:13Where is everybody?
00:11:24Hogan knows best
00:11:29She is really dangerous
00:11:30There was two months of having black all over our windows
00:11:35And people running through the house
00:11:37A big crew, like 28 people in the crew
00:11:39Eventually, we took the kids out of school
00:11:42It's just too much time
00:11:53I realized, oh my god, I'm a celebrity
00:11:56I'm always used to getting out with my dad
00:11:59It's weird for him to have gone through his whole life
00:12:01Being the icon that he has become
00:12:04Suddenly, it's happening for my kids
00:12:07People are asking me for my autograph
00:12:09We thought it was a really cool thing for all of us to be a part of
00:12:12Because this was kind of the first thing for us as a family to participate in
00:12:16Terry loved it, we all loved that show
00:12:21The Hulkamaniacs, you know, I was back here getting my hair straightened out
00:12:23Using the pink brush, Hulkamaniac would be over
00:12:28BH1 was very, very excited
00:12:30They were just stoked
00:12:31The numbers went through the roof
00:12:33Your show did phenomenally last season
00:12:36And now you're back for a second season
00:12:38V-O-Q, the radio star
00:12:42V-O-Q
00:12:43I know it was a huge upside to helping Brooke's music career
00:12:46She was so close to, like, really making it
00:12:49We thought this will really, you know, tip the scales and really get her out there
00:12:52It didn't really do anything for Nick
00:12:56Except paint him in the corner as a Dennis the Menace type kid
00:13:00They'd film me doing these, like, 12-year-old antics when really I was, like, 16 and I was going
00:13:07to, you know, work on a car with my friends or produce music
00:13:10You know, if the day was a little slow
00:13:12Hey, Nick, go fill some water balloons up and go across the street and film the people
00:13:17And next thing you know, the cops grabbed Nick
00:13:20Look, dude, I mean, I busted my ass, you know, to get it so we could be comfortable around here
00:13:25You guys are spending this money like it's water
00:13:27Love you, girl. Thanks for doing everything good
00:13:29That was really nice of you
00:13:30It's tough as a parent to see your kids grow up
00:13:33Seems like it was yesterday when they were just hanging out at the beach in the pool with us and
00:13:38drinking chocolate bottles
00:13:40I was working so much the last 15 years, I've missed the whole angel audit
00:13:45They show the soft side of Hulk
00:13:47He just has a good heart and I love that about him
00:13:52And he was good with the kids like that
00:13:56Are you listening? No kissing, this is serious
00:13:59The really great stuff was the fact that, oh my gosh, he's a father and a husband
00:14:05He's got problems with a wife
00:14:06What's that?
00:14:07He's just like us
00:14:08I know what boys are thinking about
00:14:10And I was one, and the boys' hormones are going crazy and all they can think about is sex
00:14:16The audience changed, you know, it became a huge female demo
00:14:20It was attracted to Hulk because there was a father and a dad and a husband
00:14:24Is that a miniskirt?
00:14:25Yeah
00:14:27Think miniskirts are good to ride on roller coasters?
00:14:30How old's Adam?
00:14:30Just turned 22
00:14:3222?
00:14:33It kind of like made things a little lighter than
00:14:36Hey, let me tell you something, brother
00:14:37And it's a screaming maniac
00:14:39The version that you saw of Terry was, in my opinion, Terry
00:14:43It was what I lived with
00:14:45It was the guy that was not in the red and yellow boots
00:14:47Not putting on a performance for the people
00:14:49They realized that Hulk Hogan was Terry
00:14:52And I was a normal dad and a normal person
00:14:54So there was a lot of good things that came with that
00:14:57But also, you know, the mistakes and the disagreements
00:15:01And the drama of trying to live life, you know, showing through
00:15:08You're 22
00:15:10Still with you
00:15:11That's because I love you
00:15:14I would marry you again if you asked me to
00:15:16Would you marry me again?
00:15:18Really?
00:15:20Would you sign a prenup?
00:15:22What would you put in your prenup?
00:15:23I don't know
00:15:23There's no reason for a prenup
00:15:25Sweet! I know
00:15:27If you divorce me, I'd kill you
00:15:29It doesn't really matter
00:15:29Oh, wow
00:15:30Being together 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
00:15:34The reality show Hogan knows best
00:15:37Was kind of like a recipe for disaster
00:15:40Everybody in this family's got that same attitude
00:15:42I'm tired of it
00:15:42No, I don't!
00:15:43So where was I?
00:15:45Right where you started, nowhere
00:15:47Having your personal problems with your family
00:15:51Being aired for public consumption
00:15:54Caused all kinds of turmoil
00:15:56Yolanda!
00:15:57How many times have I told you
00:15:59I don't want the maid in my closet?
00:16:02Whatever
00:16:02Why don't you just put the stuff back when you're done with it?
00:16:05I'm so sick of this
00:16:09It put everyone as a family in a very intense situation
00:16:14And then when real issues start to come up
00:16:17You know, you don't really have time to address them the way that you naturally would
00:16:23We could use the money
00:16:24You could always use the money
00:16:25No matter how much money I make, it still isn't enough
00:16:29You know, I would, you know, come home with a check, a 7 digit check
00:16:34And hand it to her and she'd take the check and throw it back in my face
00:16:38Is that all you got?
00:16:39It wasn't the old Linda, the happy one, you know?
00:16:42It was definitely a different person
00:16:44Toward the last season, things were weird
00:16:48He wasn't my soul mate
00:16:50I want to thank the master of the universe for agreeing to let me come along
00:16:55You're welcome
00:16:55After she abruptly changed her mind and said she didn't want to be around me anymore
00:16:59So thank you very much
00:17:01I just remember not even being there because I was just going through so much stress with my family
00:17:05And it was just so insane
00:17:07I think when, you know, you have fame and you go through struggles and hard times
00:17:11It's almost like a higher rise and a harder fall, you know?
00:17:15Toward the end it was like, uh, no more cameras, I need a break
00:17:21It'd take me about two seconds to pack up my friggin' closet and be gone
00:17:24Again?
00:17:25Yeah, again
00:17:26For good
00:17:27When we went into the couples therapy, you know, that was all kind of like real
00:17:31Some of our arguments have been so intense that Linda has verbally suggested
00:17:35Maybe we should go our separate ways or maybe you should get a lawyer and maybe we should just be
00:17:39divorced
00:17:39So the words were spoken
00:17:41Yeah
00:17:43Are you kids nervous about your parents getting a divorce possibly?
00:17:46No
00:17:46No, and even if it did happen
00:17:48It's not going to happen
00:17:48They love hard, fight hard, and it just wouldn't, it's not going to happen
00:17:51I want to hear what Nick's going to say
00:17:52You know, I don't, I'm not worried about it
00:17:54I don't think it's going to happen
00:17:55But even if it did, I mean, we're so close
00:17:57I think that we'd all stick together anyways
00:17:59Are you 100% in your mind out of this marriage?
00:18:02Who, me?
00:18:03Yeah
00:18:03No, I'm not out of it at all
00:18:04When do you think you'll be out the door if this continues?
00:18:07I'll probably be dead when it's over
00:18:10I always thought that, you know, it could be fixed for better or worse, you know
00:18:16I needed to hang in there
00:18:17I really don't understand at all how we got here
00:18:20Why we love so much and still might fail
00:18:25Out of touch, out of love, and out of place
00:18:28Losing you would be like living without ever seeing my children's face
00:18:32I stand here before you
00:18:39Everything is ripped, wasted
00:18:42It is definitely a mess
00:18:45It's just going to take forever and clean everything up
00:18:48I do know that he loved me
00:18:50I know that he loved me, I know
00:18:51I know that he did, and he was crazy about me
00:18:53Because being in love with you
00:18:55Only if for a second means
00:18:57I'll never live to regret it
00:19:06He was hiding something, you know
00:19:08He just wasn't acting like himself
00:19:09And I knew something was up
00:19:11My housekeeper came to me
00:19:12And she said, uh, is this yours?
00:19:14And it was a little gold hoop
00:19:16I was like, no
00:19:17And I go, where was it?
00:19:18In my bathroom?
00:19:19Where was it?
00:19:19She goes, in your bed
00:19:21Well, Hulk Hogan's daughter
00:19:23Might want to run her father over with a tank
00:19:26After he reportedly slept, get this
00:19:28With one of her close friends
00:19:29She was a person I was dating
00:19:31Who was part of the record company
00:19:33Almost like a chaperone for Brooke
00:19:36Brooke Hogan says her friend started having whoopee
00:19:38With the huckster in 2006
00:19:40While he was still married to her mother
00:19:41I'm out of here
00:19:48I was with him
00:19:49From the time I was 22 years old
00:19:51To the time I was 49 years old
00:19:58And that's half of your life
00:20:03I didn't know, you know, why he cheated on me
00:20:06I'm kind of scared to be out here
00:20:08I really shouldn't be out here
00:20:09And I just felt like a complete failure
00:20:12But when you get to that point where
00:20:15You're not really sad anymore
00:20:17You're just kind of more mad
00:20:19You're in self-survival mode now
00:20:23I came back from wrestling from Germany one time
00:20:26And the house was completely cleaned out
00:20:29You know, safes were ripped out of the wall
00:20:31Everything was gone except my clothes
00:20:38It's hard to, you know, have all your skeletons, you know, pulled out of your closet
00:20:42And just waved in front of everybody's face
00:20:44And humiliated in the world
00:20:46And then our families just go through all this stuff
00:20:50Coming and going from the courthouse for their bitter divorce
00:20:53The Hogans rarely shy away from cameras
00:20:58That's not the same person I married
00:20:59She's, uh, we pray for her every night
00:21:01It was terrible
00:21:03It was a very, very tough time
00:21:05It was to the point where we literally didn't speak to each other anymore
00:21:08At all
00:21:10And so everything had to go through lawyers
00:21:12Listen to me, Mr. Balea
00:21:14Mr. Balea
00:21:15Mr. Balea
00:21:16Are you gonna wrestle with me here?
00:21:18Are you gonna come across the cameras?
00:21:20You had your time to talk, you're done
00:21:22You are the person that has caused this issue
00:21:24It made it incredibly difficult for the kids
00:21:28I tried to call the kids for a couple months
00:21:30And couldn't get them, nobody would even answer
00:21:34I don't know if I really want to get into this stuff for this
00:21:37I just, I don't know
00:21:39Hogans lawyers say the $40,000 a month Linda is currently getting in alimony
00:21:43Is too much, and they want that amount reduced
00:21:45They brought a slew of witnesses to the stand
00:21:48To try and prove Linda is blowing all her money
00:21:51On drugs, fancy clothes, and her much younger boyfriend
00:21:56She was, you know
00:21:58Bouncing around, flying all over with her boyfriend
00:22:02Who actually went to school with Nick and Brooke
00:22:06And we were talking
00:22:07I asked him how old he was
00:22:08He said he was 25
00:22:08I was like, oh, okay
00:22:10Fine
00:22:11Great
00:22:11He was young, but what the heck
00:22:13You know, let's go have a margarita
00:22:15We were dating
00:22:15I don't know
00:22:16For like a couple weeks
00:22:18And then we went somewhere
00:22:19And then I was like
00:22:19Do you want beer or something like that?
00:22:20And he's like
00:22:21I'm not really 21
00:22:22And I'm not 25
00:22:24I go
00:22:25Now I really have fallen for this guy
00:22:27I'm like, oh my god
00:22:28Well, how old are you?
00:22:29He goes, I'm 19
00:22:31Are you not lying about that?
00:22:33Because if you're lying about that
00:22:34We got problems, you know
00:22:37The judge wouldn't let me live in my big house
00:22:39Or my little house
00:22:41So I had nowhere to go
00:22:44I rented an apartment
00:22:45And it was like
00:22:46In the top of this building
00:22:48Where I could see down the beach
00:22:49Where I could see my beach house
00:22:51It was tough
00:22:52Because I could hear my cigarette boat
00:22:54Start up in the morning
00:22:55And Linda's 18-year-old boyfriend
00:22:56Would back it out
00:22:57Well, I see something so cute
00:23:00It brings a gorgeous day
00:23:02And I thought, you know
00:23:03He's not going to know how it feels
00:23:04Until he sees it happen to me
00:23:05He'd come by me
00:23:06And he'd stop where my apartment was
00:23:08He'd sit in my boat
00:23:09And snuck a joint
00:23:09And I go, that's Terry
00:23:11Drive by
00:23:12I go, go in close
00:23:12Go in close
00:23:13You know, I was making all over Charlie
00:23:15And like
00:23:16You know, just driving in circles
00:23:17I was like, see
00:23:19How do you feel about that?
00:23:20It hurts, right?
00:23:21Ouch
00:23:23And I didn't mean to be such a catty
00:23:26You know, rub it in
00:23:27But I thought
00:23:28A little bit wouldn't hurt
00:23:31It was like throwing my face big time
00:23:33I would have trouble with a guy
00:23:3430 years younger than me
00:23:35Because I'm afraid he's going to yell out
00:23:36Mommy during sex
00:23:40You know
00:23:40Is that so wrong?
00:23:41No, I'm just kidding
00:23:43I'd had it
00:23:45It's as bizarre as it is shocking
00:23:47Hulk Hogan in the middle of a bitter divorce
00:23:50Telling Rolling Stone he now understands O.J. Simpson
00:23:54The magazine says Hogan is so bitter
00:23:56He sounded homicidal
00:23:58Saying, quote
00:23:59I could have turned everything into a crime scene
00:24:01Like O.J. cutting everybody's throat
00:24:04But Hogan says the quote is taken out of context
00:24:08I spent three days with Rolling Stone
00:24:10You know, and I thought the guy was my friend
00:24:13He warmed up to me
00:24:14We became buddies, you know
00:24:15And all of a sudden, you know
00:24:17We're sitting on my back porch
00:24:19And drinking beer on the beach
00:24:20And had a little buzz on
00:24:22He was asking me about O.J. Simpson
00:24:25I said, wow, brother, you know
00:24:26I've been that jealous and that mad at a girl
00:24:31That I completely understand how he flipped out
00:24:33Of course, you know
00:24:35There's that male instinct
00:24:36That you'd love to get him in the ring
00:24:37I could have even went out and been like O.J. Simpson
00:24:40But I chose not to
00:24:42Look, I would never do that
00:24:43I would never go there
00:24:45I wish I'd have never done the interview with Rolling Stones
00:24:47His wife's attorney says Linda canceled her flight home to Clearwater
00:24:51And is now in hiding
00:24:52And it's terrifying to my client
00:24:55Did you hear what he said?
00:24:56Oh, yeah
00:24:56About how he understands what O.J. was feeling
00:24:58You know, I'm happy
00:25:00Because I'm 5,000 miles away from him
00:25:03I went home
00:25:03I started drinking
00:25:08And, you know, started eating pills
00:25:10And I just went down this rabbit hole for a couple days
00:25:13And next thing I know, I'm sitting in front of my bathroom
00:25:16With a gun in my mouth
00:25:19And, uh, not knowing what I was doing, you know
00:25:27He was down and he was hurting
00:25:30And I was probably not the only person he could talk to
00:25:33But one of the ones he felt most comfortable talking to at that time
00:25:38And I told my wife
00:25:40I said, I think I'm going to go to Florida for a while
00:25:43And just hang out
00:25:44So when he come back, I said, I don't know
00:25:54He was in the darkest, most devastating part of his life up to that point
00:25:59Your wife's divorcing you
00:26:01And your doctor's giving you fistfuls of pills that would kill a horse
00:26:05And you're chasing it down with a quart of vodka a day
00:26:08I hit rock bottom
00:26:10I gave Melinda 70% of everything
00:26:12Because I just didn't want to ever talk to her again, be with her
00:26:16Never wanted to see her again
00:26:17So I gave her everything to get rid of her
00:26:21And after the divorce
00:26:24I had no money
00:26:27I was broke
00:26:30Hulk
00:26:31And so TNA saved me
00:26:33Hogan! Hogan! Hogan! Hogan!
00:26:35Hey maniacs! I can't hear you guys out there
00:26:37There is no single name that defines an industry
00:26:41More than Hulk Hogan
00:26:42The man, the brand
00:26:44Are you Hulkamaniacs?
00:26:48TNA was a deal that I put together for him
00:26:53Hulk was reluctant to go
00:26:55But he needed the money
00:27:00TNA formed after the death of WCW
00:27:03It was maybe a gnat
00:27:04That was kind of annoying around the face of WWE
00:27:06Wasn't competitive on a financial scale in any way
00:27:10But it was another place for guys to go work
00:27:12TNA! TNA! TNA! TNA!
00:27:14What's up TNA maniacs?
00:27:18When he first came in, I think he was an attraction
00:27:21A figurehead
00:27:22Immediately people are going to want to tune in
00:27:24Just to see what Hulk Hogan is going to do
00:27:27This is TNA's Reckoning Day brother
00:27:31The idea was he's going to wrestle
00:27:33And he's going to be an active member of the roster
00:27:37But it became very apparent very quickly
00:27:39He was in no shape to do that
00:27:48My body just had had enough
00:27:53In the emergency room here
00:27:57About 3 in the morning, my back
00:28:01Went into this major spasm
00:28:04There were a couple hip replacements
00:28:07A couple knee replacements
00:28:08As the surgery started mounting up
00:28:12I couldn't sleep in my bed
00:28:14I had to sleep in a chair
00:28:16You know?
00:28:17And if I just twitch my finger like that
00:28:20My whole back would spasm and torque
00:28:22The spine should look like this
00:28:28And this is your back
00:28:30So you can tear right now
00:28:32You know?
00:28:34After back surgery number 3
00:28:36I can't walk
00:28:37Surgery number 4
00:28:39I go back in surgery number 5
00:28:42I go back in surgery number 6
00:28:44Really getting over this crap
00:28:47Time to come back and take over
00:28:49I talked to E
00:28:51He said everything was cool
00:28:52TNA
00:28:55It was hard to see
00:28:56There were times when I felt
00:28:58Really shitty about myself
00:29:00For making him do it
00:29:02He wasn't doing the basic bits of pro wrestling
00:29:04All he could do was bleed
00:29:09But obviously there's a physical limitation to everything
00:29:11And he showed us those limits in the ring in TNA
00:29:15Oh my God!
00:29:16Doctors said, oh you need a spinal cord stimulator
00:29:20Okay, what is that?
00:29:22They said it's a battery
00:29:24You're gonna put in your back
00:29:25And you have a portable, like a TV clicker in your hand
00:29:27And every time there's any pain
00:29:30It shoots an electronical signal to your head
00:29:32And it blocks the pain
00:29:33Like it gives you a jolt of electricity
00:29:37His back was in so much pain
00:29:39I would literally have to go to his hotel
00:29:41And help him get out of bed
00:29:43To get into the shower
00:29:44To get ready to go to the shoot
00:29:46I mean he was contractually obligated to do it
00:29:48He wanted to do it
00:29:50I was taking 80mg fentanyls
00:29:53Two in the morning stuffing them under my gums here
00:29:56I had two 300mg patches of fentanyl on my legs
00:30:01And they gave me six 1500mg fentanyl lollipops to eat
00:30:06And I went to the pharmacy
00:30:07He goes, you should be dead
00:30:09We have never seen a human being
00:30:11Take this much fentanyl
00:30:14But he was in so much freaking pain
00:30:19I mean is it possible for any of us to have a crazy plant
00:30:21It doesn't seem like it, does it?
00:30:29We were in a room together alone about to film
00:30:30And he says, hold on, I gotta take this call
00:30:33And I'm sitting five feet from him
00:30:37Yep, okay
00:30:41Silence, okay
00:30:42Hangs up the phone and he looks down on his phone
00:30:46And he looks up at me and he says
00:30:48Yeah, I just found out there's gonna be a sex tape coming out
00:30:51And I'm in it
00:30:51Hulk Hogan has been described as the most recognized wrestling star worldwide
00:30:56But the international superstar born Terry Vallejo
00:30:59Was recently seen by millions in a different light
00:31:02After a tape that he claims was secretly recorded
00:31:04Was shared by the popular online media company Gawker
00:31:10And his legal counsel demanded repeatedly
00:31:12That Gawker remove that video from its website
00:31:15Gawker refused to do so
00:31:20Yeah
00:31:23Hold on one second, I gotta do one thing out of the way
00:31:25Ha!
00:31:26Hoa! Hoa! Hoa!
00:31:28New Zealand! New Zealand!
00:31:31New Zealand!
00:31:32Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma
00:31:36All right, who are you?
00:31:38My name's Ken Turkel, I'm a trial attorney in Tampa, Florida
00:31:41And I represented Hulk Hogan in the Gawker lawsuit
00:31:46Gawker was media company that had made its bones
00:31:49Essentially violating people's privacy rights, following people
00:31:53You know, they had a thing called Gawker Stalker
00:31:55Where they would find celebrities out and take pictures on whatever and post them
00:31:59But this was a surreptitious recording of Terry, of Hulk, in a private act in a private bedroom at his
00:32:08best friend's house
00:32:09Hogan is suing the website for posting a taste of him with the wife of his then best friend
00:32:14And Terry simply asked for Gawker to take it down
00:32:17They refused to take the video down
00:32:20Gawker's argument was that it was protected by the First Amendment as newsworthy
00:32:24When they hit the go button, there was nowhere to hide
00:32:28You know, and now Terry, boy, the man wasn't allowed my privacy behind closed doors
00:32:35And, you know, that's pretty much it
00:32:37And there were a bunch of people in the media who saw it as like, oh, you know, look at
00:32:41these First Amendment champions
00:32:42And how dare we interrupt the discourse and dialogue of America
00:32:46We weren't doing that, man
00:32:48This was shitty under any, any evaluation what they did here
00:32:53Gawker's attorneys suggested the tape was a publicity stunt
00:32:56But the pro wrestler laments it was devastating to his personal and professional life
00:33:01It was at a really low point in my life when I was in a previous marriage
00:33:06When things were bottomed out completely
00:33:08And I was with some friends, I made a wrong choice
00:33:12And now all of a sudden it surfaces, you know, over six years later
00:33:18He was horrified at the idea of a little kid Googling him
00:33:23And seeing that
00:33:25Genuinely horrified at
00:33:26I was completely humiliated
00:33:28The kids can't separate the character from the real person
00:33:31Well, let's start with the person
00:33:33Well, the person is sitting here today under oaths Terry Bollea
00:33:36Now as the character, I've body slammed elephants
00:33:40You know, I've surfed on tiger sharks
00:33:42The only similarities to me are
00:33:45I wear a bandana on my head as Hulk Hogan
00:33:47And sometimes I wear a bandana as Terry Bollea
00:33:51I think for the first time in probably 30 years
00:33:54The Gawker trial actually forced Hulk Hogan to think about the difference between Terry Bollea and Hulk Hogan
00:34:01That the mailman sees me, they don't go, hey Terry
00:34:04They go, hey Hulk, so I have to go, hey, what's up, brother?
00:34:06Give him a little edge
00:34:07Happy turkey like brother
00:34:10It really makes me realize the only safe place is in the house
00:34:16I don't know of anyone who had less privacy than Terry Bollea did
00:34:19By being a big celebrity, if anything, in those places where you deserve your privacy
00:34:24It's actually that much more sacred
00:34:28That's the entire point of our case
00:34:32An expert claiming Gawker made millions of dollars when it published the tape
00:34:36So now a Pinellas County jury says Gawker should pay Hogan $140 million
00:34:44He wanted to send a message back out that like, look, this was wrong
00:34:48And he wanted to get his integrity back from this
00:34:51I think we made history today because I think we protected a lot of people from maybe going through what
00:34:57I went through
00:34:58So we're very excited and very happy
00:35:00So during the Gawker trial, he wins a giant verdict
00:35:04But then the transcripts of the tape came out
00:35:08And it's what we haven't heard on that tape, a racial slur that has caused the Hulkster the most disgrace
00:35:14A very strong man learned today that his own words can hurt him
00:35:18Bollea reportedly uses racial slurs
00:35:24The person that got very mad about a personal situation, I used a word
00:35:29Yeah, I regretted because even under that heavy, crazy fire, I should have remained still
00:35:36I kept my mouth shut
00:35:38But what I said resonates and has an echo effect
00:35:41Keeps vibrating for years
00:35:43He released a statement saying, quote, it was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language
00:35:48There is no excuse for it and I apologize for having done it
00:35:54Bro, I've driven the car, I keep hitting the wall and crashing and burning, saying stupid stuff and messing up
00:36:01Whenever I say I have regrets, it's because I didn't man up when I said it
00:36:08I never should have said what I said
00:36:10It was wrong, I'm embarrassed by it
00:36:12But a lot of people need to realize that you inherit things from your environment
00:36:20At that point, there was still a relationship, business-wise, between Hulk Hogan and WWE
00:36:26So when all the stuff came out
00:36:28I'm the guy that had a call and say, yeah, we can't move forward here, Terry, so, you know, we're
00:36:34done
00:36:36The WWE saying in a statement, we are committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds
00:36:43Your image, your likeness, your name, erased
00:36:47Yeah, like I never existed
00:36:48My whole career, my whole life, was like it never happened
00:36:53Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest legends in the history of this business, that's undeniable
00:36:59But, I didn't fire Hulk Hogan
00:37:04I fired Terry Balaam
00:37:17He was at such a low point
00:37:22But he never told us about it
00:37:27Because he kind of separated himself away from us, too, you know
00:37:33Everything in his life was falling apart
00:37:41I had been through so many years of craziness and drama and negativity and stuff
00:37:47For years, there was so much, woe is me
00:37:51Oh, woe is me, the world sucks, life sucks, and then you die
00:37:55And then, uh, right when you think you're done, the universe goes, here's something else to be grateful for
00:38:01That you didn't even expect
00:38:05I was at a local restaurant
00:38:08I looked up and the whole queue had formed in the corner for people who wanted their picture taken
00:38:12I was sitting there with a girlfriend of mine
00:38:15She said, you know, Hulk Hogan's over there, we should go over and get a picture
00:38:19And I said, I'm not going to do that
00:38:23I've lived in Clearwater for almost my whole life, so he's been around, I just never met him
00:38:28So I just, you know, I knew he was a wrestler, and I knew that Clearwater loved him
00:38:33That's what I knew
00:38:36He looked up, and our eyes met, and it was just like that zing
00:38:41And they asked me on a date
00:38:43I was just, did my second divorce
00:38:46And, uh, it was, it was a rough one
00:38:49I would speak out loud in my house, like, why is this happening to me, why is this still happening,
00:38:53why is this still happening
00:38:54I actually fell asleep in my chair and I heard
00:38:56I'm putting into a cleansing
00:38:58I looked around, there's nobody in the house that actually heard those words
00:39:03So where they came from, or who sent them, you got me, but I heard them
00:39:06He said he swore he would never date another blonde, and then he saw me, and he goes, oh no
00:39:11He was just coming out of a divorce
00:39:14And healing from, I think it was his 10th back surgery at that time
00:39:17You know, I was still bah humbug
00:39:20You know, the woe is me crap
00:39:22She goes, are you just going to keep complaining?
00:39:28Uh, you're right
00:39:30I'll shut up
00:39:32Are you going to be grateful for the fact that we're here together and this is such a beautiful day
00:39:38She invited me to go to church with her
00:39:42I went to church with her
00:39:45And, uh, actually listened to what was being said
00:39:49You know, that he gave his only begotten son
00:39:52That whoever believed in him should not perish but have everlasting life
00:39:54And I got hooked, baptized, you know, born anew
00:40:00Forgiven for all my sins
00:40:02You know, that was the beginning of me
00:40:04Starting my comeback
00:40:07You know, she's so dialed in with what's important that it rubs off on me
00:40:11Attitude is everything, and everything is attitude
00:40:13I should be thanking God just to be alive every day
00:40:17Some of these people have been waiting 40, 45 years to meet me
00:40:22They've, like, stuck with me through thick and thin
00:40:24Whether I'm a good guy or a bad guy in the wrestling business
00:40:27Or a good guy or a bad guy in real life
00:40:31They've stuck with me
00:40:32Oh, my God
00:40:36Look at all the kids that stayed out of school today
00:40:39You know what, brother? Do a U-turn
00:40:42Logan! Logan! Logan! Logan! Logan!
00:40:45Logan! Logan! Logan!
00:40:45Can I get a selfie?
00:40:47We're rolling
00:40:47I mean, there's two realms that I have to exist in
00:40:52There's the spiritual world
00:40:54And then this human incarnation to keep one foot in
00:40:57Terry Bollea was not the greatest person all the time
00:41:00And the character was impeccable
00:41:01Even though I wasn't, I just loved the greatness of the character
00:41:05I was ready to jump on the Hulk Hogan train once again
00:41:10Wow! What a good crew this is
00:41:15We got him, brother
00:41:17He's doing a lot better now
00:41:19I'm just happy to be here
00:41:21Hulk Hogan has been reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame
00:41:24They invited me back to the WWE
00:41:28I feel like I'm home again
00:41:29I feel like I'm still the champ
00:41:31Hulkamania, run away
00:41:33And the Hulk Hogan brand is still alive
00:41:38The immortal Hulk Hogan!
00:41:43Instead of, you know, going and sitting out and watching the sunset every night
00:41:46And each year being the dog year making me seven years older
00:41:49I decide I'm going to go back to work and have some fun
00:41:51All right, I'm going to get in here with you guys
00:41:53All right, what's up?
00:41:58Now we're going to get our next one
00:42:00I am Hulk Hogan! I'm Hulk Hogan!
00:42:06Love you too!
00:42:08How are you doing today? What's your name?
00:42:09My name's Lucas
00:42:10Lucas, I'm going to meet somebody special
00:42:12Terry Bollea, the man was as good as the character
00:42:14But the character helps people
00:42:16In whatever way it helps them, it helps them
00:42:18That's all I know
00:42:22What's up guys?
00:42:25How are you doing?
00:42:28How are you doing?
00:42:29Without you, there's no wrestling
00:42:31I got remarried
00:42:32My wife has an 18-year-old autistic son
00:42:34I fell in love with him and he can't do nothing but tell the truth, man
00:42:37I love it
00:42:39Hulk, would you like me to have a picture with you?
00:42:42I wish you would take a picture with me
00:42:46Because that'll be history made
00:42:49So, you know, I want, you know, to be that Hulk Hogan form that they expected to meet
00:42:54Whether it's when I was 30 or 90
00:42:57Nice to meet you, brother
00:42:58He's got it, man
00:43:00You're my hero
00:43:01Thank you, brother, that's very kind of you to say that
00:43:03I collected merchandise of you
00:43:05Well, you know what?
00:43:06As you're collecting that merchandise
00:43:08I think your brother should pay for it
00:43:10Okay
00:43:11Love you, man
00:43:12I really was here for a reason more than just wrestling
00:43:16Something's going on here that I haven't figured out yet
00:43:19But something really big is gonna happen
00:43:22Yeah, there's a shot in here of you and Donald Trump
00:43:27Staying out of politics has always been as a businessman
00:43:30Because my Hulk and maniacs have always been Democrats and Republicans
00:43:34My arms aren't as big as his, I'll tell you
00:43:36You ever seen anything like this?
00:43:38It's amazing
00:43:38So he wanted to stay out of politics and when they'd ask him a question
00:43:43Because everything was about, you know, politics, frankly
00:43:46And he would be sort of, like, neutral at best
00:43:51And he wanted to be politically correct
00:43:53And, you know, he doesn't want to lose fans and all that
00:43:55But I understand that
00:43:56And listen, baby, you do it
00:43:57Okay, we'll give it a shot
00:43:59You know, I met Donald Trump back in the day
00:44:01In the 80s, he's my friend
00:44:02A lot of people would say I'm completely crazy
00:44:05But I know the person
00:44:06I know him very well
00:44:08I'm not saying I agree with everything he does
00:44:12But at least he's honest about who he is
00:44:16All right, just to be clear
00:44:18This is going to be a little bit of a zoo
00:44:202016, I was one of these cowards that voted for Trump
00:44:23That I wouldn't wear the red hat
00:44:25It's an honor to be here, I can tell you that
00:44:282020 voted for Trump
00:44:29I was still the coward
00:44:31Well, I was afraid to speak out, so I was really afraid to get into politics
00:44:34And, uh, I think he regrets that
00:44:39Perfect
00:44:41I was going to vote for him this next time
00:44:44And I wanted to keep a little profile
00:44:47But they tried to kill Trump
00:44:53When they tried to shoot him the other day, that did it for me, man
00:44:57That...
00:44:58I was done
00:44:59I was pissed
00:45:02I told my wife this might be a deal-breaker
00:45:05That's something I have to do
00:45:07Knowing that if I spoke up, that it could jeopardize everything
00:45:11From my businesses to my life
00:45:14Coming forward for Trump, as an entertainer, you divide your audience
00:45:19And he was nervous about that
00:45:21Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House
00:45:23I've been a fan of you my whole life
00:45:24Thanks so kindly for all those wonderful memories
00:45:27It was a lot of fun
00:45:27Oh, man
00:45:28Hulk was always very controversial
00:45:31And that's okay, I'm fairly controversial
00:45:34I think I've become less controversial over the years
00:45:37But I'm fairly controversial too
00:45:39But I don't think Hulk cares about that
00:45:41And I don't care about that either
00:45:43Okay, we're walking, here we go, here we go
00:45:55USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:46:01Well, let me tell you something, brother
00:46:04You know something, when I came here tonight
00:46:11There was so much energy in this room
00:46:14I felt maybe, I was in Madison Square Garden
00:46:17Getting ready to win another world title
00:46:25But what I found out, was I was in a room full of real Americans, brother
00:46:32And when they took a shot at my hero
00:46:38And they tried to kill the next president of the United States
00:46:45Enough was enough
00:46:48And I said, let Trumpamania run wild, brother
00:46:53USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:12USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:19USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:19USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:20USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:21USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!
00:47:23USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA
00:47:27it was 1985 all over again and I'm sure having that crowd go wild probably felt
00:47:32like old times. What you gonna do when Donald Trump and all the Trump-a-maniacs
00:47:39run wild on you, brother?
00:47:51Hulk is your old-time favorite president and I just want to tell you you are
00:47:56unbelievable at the convention. I like the talk of the town and we had, by the way, I don't know
00:48:02if
00:48:02you heard like the biggest ratings they've ever had for any of these things by far. Fox had
00:48:06the biggest ratings they've ever had and you were the star. Nobody could do what you did and
00:48:12entertain and we love having you on our side. You're a winner, man. You're a champ and a winner
00:48:19and I think it was really good for you too. I have to tell you everyone was really impressed.
00:48:23Take care of yourself. Thanks. Bye.
00:48:31Yes, sir. America's back. We got our country back.
00:48:35How you guys doing?
00:48:38Okay, man.
00:48:39For a lot of wrestling fans like me, it was like
00:48:42Hulk Hogan should be bigger than politics, right? I mean, like Superman is bigger than politics,
00:48:48right? Because now he's just politics.
00:48:51Uh-oh. There you go, big man.
00:48:53Boxer, I could not appreciate you enough for what you did for Trump too, man. Thank you.
00:48:57We got him in, didn't we?
00:48:58We got him in, brother.
00:48:59In this new chapter of his life, he wanted to be as authentic and true to himself, not just the
00:49:05Hulk Hogan character.
00:49:06And, you know, it wasn't without some backlash. We did get death threat letters, but, you know, for the overall
00:49:12pro-America brand, it was, it was great.
00:49:16Wow! Wow!
00:49:20I cannot believe after 45 years, all you Hulkamaniacs are still with me.
00:49:30I hate to go there, but we got our country back, thank God.
00:49:39So, if everybody here wants one free real American beer, give me a Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
00:49:47Yo!
00:49:50They said you can't put your picture on the can. Nobody does that. George clearly doesn't do it.
00:49:55I said, B.S., watch me.
00:49:59I love you too, big dog. Thanks for coming out.
00:50:04Thank God he wanted a lot of that in prison.
00:50:09No matter what side you're on, there's 50% of the population that's on the other side.
00:50:15I don't believe in discussing politics and religion. You keep your political beliefs to yourself,
00:50:22or you alienate 50% of your audience right off the bat.
00:50:27All right, guys.
00:50:27Let's see this place.
00:50:31So, here's the entrance here.
00:50:36So, as you look behind you, all people.
00:50:38Brother, how you doing?
00:50:39Good, good, good, good.
00:50:41Netflix was sort of a coming out party for us.
00:50:44We had just signed a monumental deal to be on that platform.
00:50:48So, we wanted to blend past, present, and future of WWE.
00:50:54It was important to see people like Hogan there.
00:50:57Welcome to Monday Night Raw!
00:51:04Go to sleep!
00:51:06See a puppet win!
00:51:08The Rock has come back to Los Angeles!
00:51:15It's a special night.
00:51:18Monday Night Raw in L.A.
00:51:22Netflix premiere.
00:51:26I was very stoked to see Hulk Hogan.
00:51:29And he gave me a giant duffel bag of the beer.
00:51:33It stung a little to feel that he wasn't as well received as previously.
00:51:45When it comes crashing down and it hurts inside...
00:51:50...
00:51:51...
00:51:54...
00:52:17Well, let me tell you something, brother.
00:52:24I was backstage and I was like, holy shit, Hogan's getting booed out of the building.
00:52:28Did I think he was going to get booed out of the building?
00:52:31Probably.
00:52:33Especially in L.A., right?
00:52:35Like, there's just a different vibe there and a different mentality there.
00:52:45You know something, maniacs?
00:52:47I've been in this business for over 40 years.
00:52:53You know, I said, Jimmy Hart, Gerald.
00:52:55He goes, oh, no, baby, they didn't boo you.
00:52:56They didn't.
00:52:56I said, Jimmy.
00:52:59The people booed me like crazy.
00:53:04I could have L.A. hate me if I went on Jesse Waters three times a week.
00:53:09Get your Trump pump on, everybody.
00:53:11Great to see you, Hulk.
00:53:12We'll see you at the ball.
00:53:13This is politics.
00:53:15I don't need to play or hit the game.
00:53:17We're going to a damn blue state.
00:53:19I went, okay, I'll let it ride, because he's Hulk Hogan.
00:53:23People were saying, oh, it's because his affiliation with Trump, but I don't know.
00:53:27I felt like I knew why.
00:53:28He's made a lot of mistakes.
00:53:30For some people, he hasn't necessarily always atoned for those mistakes or even the apologies
00:53:39were seen as hollow.
00:53:40So many people couldn't look past that, and he's just got a polarizing presence.
00:53:45Those people were waiting on Hulk Hogan to come out and make any kind of statement, just
00:53:52so they could let him know how they really feel about him.
00:53:55That night, too much of the artist has been exposed for them to perhaps cheer.
00:54:03Who knows what the truth really is?
00:54:05Here's all I know.
00:54:07You know, I knew it bothered him.
00:54:13Do you want to go out being cheered or go out being brewed?
00:54:15Be cheered, of course.
00:54:17You had to feel a little sad about that, right?
00:54:20No, brother.
00:54:21No?
00:54:21No, man.
00:54:22When I saw how intense they were coming to me, if they hadn't had a knife, they'd have
00:54:26stuck me in the neck with it.
00:54:27So am I upset by that?
00:54:29Are you kidding me?
00:54:30Brother, it's completely opposite of what you think.
00:54:33Bro, I could come back as a bad guy in L.A.
00:54:36and sell out that building with anybody.
00:54:39And as crippled as I am, they'd love to see my crippled ass get in that ring and get strapped
00:54:44and beat and punched and cut my head off and bleed like a pig for him, because that red
00:54:48will turn to green instantly.
00:54:49And it's like they would love it.
00:54:51If you're getting booed because that's your job and that's your role as an antagonist,
00:54:57please, boo me more.
00:55:00But if your job is to go out there as the good guy and you're not getting the reaction,
00:55:05that's a different story, of course.
00:55:07You know, I used to go to L.A. and they would cheer me out of the building, you know.
00:55:11Let's go, brother.
00:55:12Man, how's everybody doing?
00:55:15Holy smokes.
00:55:16How's it feel to see the garden with your bar right here?
00:55:18Oh, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:55:19Whoa.
00:55:20But then I go to New York and people just cheer me everywhere I go.
00:55:24Oh, come in here!
00:55:25Run wild, brother!
00:55:27Not everyone in your life is going to love you.
00:55:30You're going to have people that don't like you and, you know, there's no winning.
00:55:34Was there a difference when you get cheered versus the boom?
00:55:38Yeah, of course, of course.
00:55:44In all my glory when Hulkamania was running wild, the crowd was magic.
00:55:50The energy would just drag you up out of any hole.
00:55:53I saw Bruno Sammartino.
00:55:54I've seen Elvis Presley in there.
00:55:56Nobody bigger than you, Hulk.
00:55:58As soon as I hit that ring, it was just the end-all be-all, you know,
00:56:04where nothing else in the world matters except that present moment that you're in the ring.
00:56:13When I went in that ring, I was not Terry.
00:56:16When I went in that ring, brother, I was Hulk Hogan.
00:56:18I believed it.
00:56:20It's just magic.
00:56:23The Hulk seems to get stronger.
00:56:26That's why I fell in love with Russell.
00:56:28I can't understand this.
00:56:29How is this man still standing and fighting back?
00:56:34Once you plug in, you're in that moment where there's a flow.
00:56:40The flow gets stronger and stronger and there's just like this crazy tsunami.
00:56:48It's just this crazy flow of just being there, catching the right wave.
00:57:00Just staying in the pipeline and never coming out of it and just living and dying there.
00:57:06There's nothing else like it.
00:57:09I don't know how else to say it, but it's almost like you're coming all the time.
00:57:21I always believed wrestling was the most important thing there is.
00:57:25It's immortality.
00:57:30But I found out later that that's not the gateway to eternal happiness.
00:57:38Do you remember the time when you were the happiest?
00:57:43Yeah.
00:57:44Okay, here we are.
00:57:45Oh, you're holding it.
00:57:46It's so good, Drew.
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:47The Hulkster board.
00:57:49Yeah.
00:57:50For a ride you'll never forget.
00:57:53It's my baby.
00:57:54Terry bought me my new baby.
00:57:57The hottest ride in town.
00:58:00I mean, I get really weird flashbacks, you know, during the day.
00:58:07Dad, I just got back from his world tour.
00:58:101990.
00:58:11World tour.
00:58:1211,000 miles.
00:58:13Tour.
00:58:14Ow.
00:58:15And I'll be in the car by myself and I'll think of something.
00:58:19You know, I'll catch myself smiling like the village idiot by myself, you know.
00:58:24You know, because I'll think of something real personal and make me smile.
00:58:28You're like a big girl now.
00:58:30Mommy, I love you.
00:58:31I love you very much.
00:58:33Brooke, Nick, and Terry.
00:58:35As far as this human incarnation goes, when I had my kids, when I had both my kids, they
00:58:40were very young.
00:58:41Two babies.
00:58:43Two humongous babies.
00:58:46The young kids that were really healthy.
00:58:48Mama.
00:58:49Here.
00:58:51When Linda was being the best mom I've ever seen and just being a great woman,
00:58:57her wife and was steady as she goes, being the perfect mom and the perfect friend.
00:59:04A total hair bone.
00:59:07And the perfect soulmate across the board.
00:59:11That was probably, um, the most happiest I've ever been.
00:59:18Come out of here, come out of here.
00:59:20Look up in the sky.
00:59:22Dad!
00:59:22I just saw Santa.
00:59:24Dad!
00:59:25Dad!
00:59:25Dad!
00:59:25I just saw him bang on the back.
00:59:28He took off back over the ocean.
00:59:29Oh my God!
00:59:30Look at him!
00:59:31He was here!
00:59:32Did you see?
00:59:33He had a big...
00:59:34He messed up.
00:59:36It's not pixie dust.
00:59:37It's reindeer dust.
00:59:38Run Santa, I gotta bring my hair.
00:59:40Sure.
00:59:40Good.
00:59:43Oh no, no, no, no.
00:59:57Good at that's co-wandern.
01:00:02No, no, no.
01:00:05Oh no, no.
01:00:06O-oh.
01:00:06Oh no...
01:00:15It's hard to get up.
01:00:37We have some breaking news right now
01:00:39to tell you about wrestling legend Hulk Hogan died today
01:00:42after suffering cardiac arrest at his home
01:00:44in Clearwater, Florida.
01:00:45Now to the death of wrestling icon Hulk Hogan.
01:00:48The man known the world over who defined the face of wrestling.
01:00:51Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea.
01:00:54Terry Bollea is widely recognized
01:00:56as the biggest wrestling star of all time.
01:01:00The tributes have been pouring in.
01:01:02So many people grew up knowing and watching Hulk Hogan
01:01:04and then fans have been coming in a steady stream all day
01:01:07taking pictures.
01:01:07One of pop culture's most recognizable figures.
01:01:11A larger-than-life figure.
01:01:12Gone in what seems like such a sudden way.
01:01:15He died at the age of 71.
01:01:1771 years old.
01:01:1871 years old.
01:01:22I talked to Eric Bischoff.
01:01:25Eric called me this morning at 1130
01:01:28and said, hey man, I just heard that Hulk may have a heart issue
01:01:35and that he's gone to the hospital.
01:01:39Hung up with him.
01:01:40Called Paul.
01:01:41While on the phone with Paul, Paul said, hang on.
01:01:46He says, oh my God,
01:01:50they're reporting that Hulk died.
01:01:57And it's just surreal.
01:02:08Hulkster.
01:02:09What they were, where'd that come from?
01:02:14Where the hell that come from?
01:02:18It signified the end of my era.
01:02:23That it was now, the book was closed.
01:02:27Hulk dying made you feel real mortal.
01:02:42It's strange because there was never a time
01:02:45where I was in his gym working out without him.
01:02:52But it's comforting in a way
01:02:55to be around his weight equipment in his gym.
01:03:03And Nicholas just wants nothing but his dad.
01:03:07Only wants his dad.
01:03:09Quick little bit of protein.
01:03:10Sounds good, please.
01:03:14It was just tough to process all of it.
01:03:19You know, everybody knows he went in to have a neck surgery.
01:03:24And, you know, after the neck surgery,
01:03:26there were some complications.
01:03:30This was the day before Terry went in for neck surgery.
01:03:34He's, you know, we're smiling.
01:03:36He's bright-eyed.
01:03:38And, um...
01:03:40We never got back to that spot again.
01:03:44It was about two and a half months
01:03:46that we were in and out of hospitals.
01:03:50But he still showed so much resilience
01:03:53and strength in those moments.
01:03:55I wish we never did the neck surgery.
01:04:01What?
01:04:07All right.
01:04:09All right.
01:04:10The thing that I'll miss the most
01:04:12is just being able to call him.
01:04:14You know, it just feels weird
01:04:15that I haven't talked to him.
01:04:17I still cared about him the same.
01:04:19It's...
01:04:20It doesn't go away.
01:04:21I, you know, I wish things would have turned out
01:04:23differently for us.
01:04:26All right!
01:04:27Planned out by herself.
01:04:29But then when he got sick,
01:04:30I realized
01:04:33that my love never faded for him.
01:04:35I still had love for him.
01:04:36I really do.
01:04:37I still love him.
01:04:39It's my baby.
01:04:42How are you doing, Captain?
01:04:47You know, somebody that was your partner
01:04:49for so long,
01:04:51and then to just see him suffering like that
01:04:53toward the end, and...
01:04:55You know, to just know that he really
01:04:57didn't deserve to go out that way.
01:04:59It's...
01:05:00It's sad.
01:05:01You know, I'm sad for my kids.
01:05:05In my eyes, he was always immortal.
01:05:07The...
01:05:08The child in me
01:05:09always believed that.
01:05:12It's this...
01:05:13The old size 17 boot.
01:05:16And for comparison,
01:05:18my shoe is a size 12.
01:05:23Oh!
01:05:24What are those big feet doing on the table?
01:05:27It's just that big feet.
01:05:28You can eat your cake with those feet.
01:05:29They're gonna go up here.
01:05:31They're gonna go up here.
01:05:46All right, guys.
01:05:48Welcome to Cleveland.
01:05:49Just before we get started,
01:05:50as I'm sure everyone is aware,
01:05:52unfortunate passing of Hulk Hogan yesterday.
01:05:56yesterday hard to say there's been a more influential figure especially on the
01:06:04performing side no one is perfect in life and they had ups and downs but we're
01:06:12gonna continue to remember Hulk Hogan as what he meant to this industry his
01:06:17influence cannot be denied and it cannot be overstated
01:06:24you could make an argument that we probably wouldn't be sitting here today this business
01:06:29might have gone the way of roller derby or some other shit that didn't quite make it to the end
01:06:34but here we are so we're gonna start this show out tonight with a 10-bell salute with everybody
01:06:40on stage I don't think it needs to be said but anybody that has an issue does not want to
01:06:48be on
01:06:48that stage no problem no issue no no anything I know it's complicated I do how everyone feels but
01:07:00I think we all have to kind of wrestle with the idea that he's gone and there's so many great
01:07:07things
01:07:07about the immortal Hulk Hogan can we focus on those this is such a shock you know Huck and I've

01:13:07people don't remember what you say they don't remember what you do they remember how you
01:13:10make them feel as time goes on people's memories fade of things he did that they didn't like to
01:13:17some degree i believe that the last thing that will fade in them is how hulk hogan made them feel

01:13:31always truthful no matter how crazy and implausible the story might be and searching for
