00:02:19alright
00:02:19here we go
00:02:44it was the 90s
00:02:46and so his career
00:02:47at that point in time
00:02:48was just like
00:02:49hurricane strength
00:02:51famous
00:02:51and there was just
00:02:53no room for error
00:03:01sounds like
00:03:01Madison Square Garden
00:03:02in here
00:03:03well I'm telling you
00:03:04for the last five years
00:03:06the kids have been training
00:03:08and they've been
00:03:09saying their prayers
00:03:10and now
00:03:11that we've got
00:03:12Hulkamania vitamins
00:03:13I think the sky's
00:03:14the limit with this thing
00:03:20anybody that knew
00:03:20Terry knew
00:03:21that he was like
00:03:22a health buff
00:03:22like he woke up
00:03:23and he must have taken
00:03:24like I don't know
00:03:25100 vitamins every day
00:03:26and held a whole cupboard
00:03:27we had to carve out
00:03:28a whole cupboard
00:03:29in my kitchen
00:03:29for his vitamins
00:03:30and I want to give you guys
00:03:31a little dose
00:03:32of the medicine here
00:03:32and once you get hooked
00:03:33on this stuff
00:03:34there's no return
00:03:36I would not advise this
00:03:37obviously for anyone
00:03:39to
00:03:40that's incredible
00:03:41he trained
00:03:42said his prayers
00:03:43we said a prayer every night
00:03:45and he took his vitamins
00:03:46and it was so simple
00:03:47and so he made that
00:03:48kind of his mantra
00:03:49if you train
00:03:50say your prayers
00:03:50eat your vitamins
00:03:51the first thing you know
00:03:52you'll be ripping out

00:03:57what you want
00:03:58those are the three
00:03:59demandments
00:03:59to be a Hulkamaniac
00:04:01demandments
00:04:02the demandments
00:04:02you have to serve
00:04:03to be a little Hulkster
00:04:04wonderful
00:04:06he was already doing that
00:04:08and he thought
00:04:09why not
00:04:09if you know what
00:04:10a Hulkamaniac is all about
00:04:11the train
00:04:12and the prayer
00:04:13and the vitamins
00:04:13you should have known
00:04:14that the Hulkster
00:04:16would never sell out
00:04:17brother
00:04:18you know how
00:04:19he used to tell
00:04:20the kids
00:04:20to take their vitamins
00:04:21and all that
00:04:23what are we talking about
00:04:24orals or injectables
00:04:25what kind of vitamins
00:04:27we talking here
00:04:27most of us think
00:04:29of professional wrestling
00:04:30as harmless entertainment
00:04:31and Hulk Hogan
00:04:32as the king of the ring
00:04:34but was there
00:04:35a sinister side
00:04:36to his success
00:04:37he's taken steroids
00:04:38through the whole decade
00:04:39of the 80s
00:04:40the 80s
00:04:41were when steroids
00:04:43really injected itself
00:04:45into wrestling
00:04:46back then
00:04:46the mindset was
00:04:48steroids were safer
00:04:49than sugar
00:04:51they were legal
00:04:52and I first started
00:04:53using two or three years
00:04:55after high school
00:04:57just kept getting bigger
00:04:58and bigger
00:04:59and bigger
00:04:59and bigger
00:05:01I'd be getting ready
00:05:02for school
00:05:02and my dad would be
00:05:03down in the gym
00:05:04at like 7.15
00:05:057.30 in the morning
00:05:06we're already in the gym
00:05:07we're trying to get
00:05:08Brutus' body
00:05:09as hard as his head
00:05:11I'm gonna do the thing
00:05:12right now
00:05:13I had Ultimate Warrior
00:05:15going out one door
00:05:16puking
00:05:17I remember Brutus
00:05:18started puking blood
00:05:19you know you need
00:05:20to do a few more
00:05:21I respect this guy
00:05:22right here
00:05:23bro the thing is
00:05:24when I was taking steroids
00:05:26I was between 300
00:05:28and 348 pounds
00:05:29yeah
00:05:30but in the early 90s
00:05:32there was a bunch
00:05:33of controversy
00:05:33about steroids
00:05:34and the laws
00:05:34that changed
00:05:35tougher federal penalties
00:05:36against steroids
00:05:37took effect in February
00:05:38a drug bust
00:05:39in Phoenix Arizona
00:05:40not for heroin
00:05:42or cocaine
00:05:42but for something
00:05:43just as dangerous
00:05:44when it did become illegal
00:05:47well now how do you teach
00:05:48an old dog new tricks
00:05:49you know you just can't
00:05:50and he just kept doing it
00:05:52all the wrestlers
00:05:53use steroids
00:05:54everybody across the board
00:05:55but for some reason
00:05:56with me
00:05:58it's a different game
00:05:59they're on a witch hunt
00:06:01they're on a witch hunt
00:06:02they're after us all
00:06:04they're after all of us
00:06:06they're after all of us
00:06:08and I told him
00:06:09in life
00:06:09everybody's gonna have
00:06:10speed bumps
00:06:11everybody's gonna have
00:06:12speed bumps
00:06:13but you know what
00:06:14you gotta do
00:06:14you gotta wear
00:06:15that seat belt baby
00:06:16a doctor will go on trial
00:06:18charged with prescribing
00:06:20anabolic steroids
00:06:21to several professional wrestlers
00:06:23including the biggest name
00:06:24in the ring
00:06:25Hulk Hogan
00:06:25and I went
00:06:26what the fuck
00:06:27you know
00:06:28excuse me
00:06:28I didn't mean to say that
00:06:29I said what the heck
00:06:30we just got
00:06:31the rug pulled out
00:06:31from under us
00:06:32and the timing was
00:06:33bam bam
00:06:34so I knew I had to do something
00:06:37and I decided to go on Arsenio Hall
00:06:39because he was a friend of mine
00:06:40I actually got Arsenio Hall
00:06:42his job
00:06:42so I said
00:06:44friendly fire
00:06:44let's give it a shot
00:06:45I mentioned that you had been in the news
00:06:47well that's the problem
00:06:48see people read the paper
00:06:49to be informed
00:06:50and sometimes you read the paper
00:06:52and you get misinformed
00:06:54sterile as I never took a shot
00:06:56so basically what I'd like to do
00:06:58is with all due respect
00:06:59inform you
00:07:00and everybody else
00:07:01that's misinformed
00:07:02by the newspapers
00:07:05of course I lied to him
00:07:06I'm not a steroid abuser
00:07:07and I do not use steroids
00:07:10all of us in the wrestling business
00:07:12we sat and
00:07:13we went
00:07:14Jesus
00:07:15now I read the paper
00:07:17Hulk Hogan
00:07:17in a situation
00:07:19where it was really unnecessary
00:07:20he just completely lied
00:07:22everybody watching
00:07:23with even like
00:07:25the most passing concept
00:07:26of what steroids were
00:07:27knew he was lying
00:07:28it was just sad to see
00:07:29like a hero doing that
00:07:31my name is David Shoemaker
00:07:33I write columns about wrestling
00:07:35you know
00:07:36I've been a huge fan of Hulk Hogan
00:07:37since I was six
00:07:40almost my whole life
00:07:41you had a whole generation
00:07:42of little hogsters
00:07:43training with you man
00:07:44saying prayers with you dude
00:07:46eating their vitamins with you man
00:07:47and you sold them out
00:07:48I understand why he did it
00:07:50we gotta keep up the image
00:07:52you know like
00:07:53Superman doesn't do steroids
00:07:54Superman is gifted
00:07:56with these abilities right
00:07:57Hulk Hogan is like that
00:07:58he's a hero
00:07:59he's a god
00:08:00there are millions of kids
00:08:01that have believed in me
00:08:02and what I stand for
00:08:03and basically
00:08:03they've put a dark cloud
00:08:05over everything that I believe in
00:08:06but part of Hulkamania
00:08:08also was being honest
00:08:10and forthright
00:08:11now we know you're lying
00:08:13so what else are you lying about
00:08:14so it's the lie
00:08:16that gets you in the end
00:08:17it's like Nixon
00:08:18it's like
00:08:18you know when you lie
00:08:21you're a liar
00:08:22we're gonna have to take him
00:08:23to the supreme court
00:08:24of the Hulkamaniacs man
00:08:26the highest court in the land
00:08:27I'm upset at him
00:08:29I don't like him as much now
00:08:30there is a crescendo of opinion
00:08:32what Hulk Hogan preaches
00:08:33is apparently not
00:08:34what he practices
00:08:35Congress ought to investigate
00:08:38what do you think
00:08:39it was gonna happen to Hulkamaniacs
00:08:41we've got that
00:08:43well it's something that
00:08:46would be classified
00:08:47in the mistake category
00:08:48thought could I relive it
00:08:50I wouldn't do it again
00:08:51we have not been able
00:08:52to reach Hogan for a response
00:08:54I was getting major heat
00:08:56from the investigation
00:08:57so it all just made sense
00:08:58to move away
00:08:59from wrestling
00:09:00I mean I really didn't
00:09:02have much of a choice
00:09:03I hope you have a good life
00:09:04after you quit wrestling
00:09:06and I'm like
00:09:07oh my god
00:09:08you know
00:09:09so well hold on a minute here
00:09:11you mean I can't be
00:09:11Hulk Hogan anymore
00:09:14Jerry
00:09:15oh no
00:09:16he's got the gruel
00:09:17hi honey
00:09:18what are you doing
00:09:19we're putting
00:09:20the Batcave command
00:09:23center together
00:09:25uh huh
00:09:26we have a swing
00:09:27trick door
00:09:28behind the ground
00:09:28oh
00:09:31that looks cool
00:09:33Hulk for all I knew
00:09:34is never coming back
00:09:41we gotta build somebody
00:09:43to fill Hulk Hogan's shoes
00:09:44which are pretty big shoes
00:09:45who's gonna be
00:09:46our next champion
00:09:48and it's like
00:09:49that guy
00:09:50I was as stunned
00:09:57and sort of blown away
00:09:59by that as anybody
00:10:01I was different
00:10:02than Hulk Hogan
00:10:03and Hulk Hogan
00:10:04was Elvis Presley
00:10:05I was the Robert De Niro
00:10:07of wrestling
00:10:09he's one of the
00:10:09absolute best
00:10:10professional wrestlers
00:10:11of all time
00:10:12every Bret Hart match
00:10:14was a great match
00:10:22the fans were ready
00:10:24to embrace him
00:10:25and saying
00:10:26this is the age of Bret Hart
00:10:27I've always thought
00:10:28that Hulk
00:10:29would be happy for me
00:10:31I said no brother
00:10:34that ain't happening
00:10:38Bret Hart
00:10:38isn't that
00:10:40feature film
00:10:41that you thought
00:10:41you were going to see
00:10:42oh god
00:10:42that film wasn't as good
00:10:43as I thought it was
00:10:44so I said no brother
00:10:45you don't want that
00:10:46you don't want that
00:10:47Hulk was now fishing
00:10:49about coming back
00:10:51Hulk Hogan
00:10:52is not afraid
00:10:53to admit
00:10:53he's made mistakes
00:10:54on a personal level
00:10:56I've made mistakes
00:10:57on a business level
00:10:58I don't always make
00:10:59the right decisions
00:11:00Hulk fucked up
00:11:01but I think Vince
00:11:02heard the pitch
00:11:03and Hulk Hogan
00:11:05was his Babe Ruth
00:11:06Hulkster please
00:11:07tell us what we want
00:11:09I hear
00:11:10come on
00:11:11I'm back
00:11:12in the WWF
00:11:17Hogan had been gone
00:11:18for a while
00:11:18Bret Hart is your champion
00:11:20and then Hogan
00:11:21comes back
00:11:22right without the
00:11:23acknowledgement
00:11:23of the steroid
00:11:24allegations
00:11:25it just is a weird
00:11:26situation
00:11:27in some ways
00:11:27it just felt like
00:11:28he was either
00:11:28unwilling to change
00:11:30or unable to change
00:11:32I don't know
00:11:33what the plan was
00:11:34but it wasn't
00:11:35the right time
00:11:36for him to come back
00:11:39it was announced
00:11:40that Hulk Hogan
00:11:41would team with his buddy
00:11:43Brutus Beefcake
00:11:43and challenge
00:11:45for the tag team
00:11:46championship
00:11:46at Wrestlemania 9
00:11:49get it brother
00:11:50all the way
00:11:50get it all the way
00:11:51there's no tag team
00:11:52ever put together
00:11:53like this
00:11:53Hulk Hogan
00:11:54Brutus the Barber
00:11:56Beefcake
00:11:56together
00:11:56they are unstoppable
00:11:58and that was supposed
00:11:59to be Hulk Hogan's
00:12:01sole role
00:12:02Hulk was always
00:12:05at the top
00:12:05of the food chain
00:12:06and everybody
00:12:07wants to keep
00:12:08that spot
00:12:09so my uncle
00:12:10Bret Hart
00:12:11the more successful
00:12:12Bret got
00:12:13the more he got
00:12:14in Hogan's lane
00:12:14so all of a sudden
00:12:15it's like the claws
00:12:16come out
00:12:18I remember
00:12:19walking up to him
00:12:20and I was like
00:12:20hey Terry
00:12:21I stood up
00:12:22with my hand out
00:12:23to shake his hand
00:12:24for about 30 seconds
00:12:26but he wouldn't
00:12:26even look at me
00:12:27just kept talking
00:12:27to Beefcake
00:12:29I can't imagine
00:12:30doing that intentionally
00:12:31maybe I had an off day
00:12:32maybe I was drunk
00:12:33maybe I was high
00:12:34I don't know
00:12:35I don't know what to tell you
00:12:36but it wouldn't have
00:12:37been intentional
00:12:38I knew right then
00:12:39and there
00:12:40I got the belt
00:12:41and I got what he wants
00:12:42and I'm the enemy now
00:12:44storm comes a tall
00:12:45handsome man
00:12:47in a dusty black coat
00:12:48with a red right hand
00:12:53I had that Hogan strobe
00:12:55back then
00:12:55me and Vince
00:12:56were just bonded
00:12:57at the hip
00:12:58and I could pull the plug
00:13:00on certain things
00:13:01or certain people
00:13:02Vince ultimately
00:13:03made the decision
00:13:04for Holt
00:13:04to win the title
00:13:05with Mania
00:13:06that day
00:13:07I remember thinking
00:13:08what a step backward
00:13:10there was a whole
00:13:10different audience
00:13:11and they were liking me
00:13:12not Hulk Hogan
00:13:13right
00:13:14got all up in my face
00:13:15and got all rattled
00:13:15I said
00:13:16what's up with this guy
00:13:17I thought he was a team player
00:13:18man
00:13:18I said
00:13:19it's gonna backfire
00:13:20and it's gonna be
00:13:22really bad
00:13:23Vince made the decision
00:13:24you know
00:13:25it's just one of those things
00:13:26fuck you
00:13:35Hulk came up
00:13:36with such a phony
00:13:37bullshit match
00:13:39the kind of match
00:13:40that Hulk would dream up
00:13:43Red Heart was wrestling
00:13:46dastardly Yokozuna
00:13:47Yokozuna's manager
00:13:49the inscrutable
00:13:50Mr. Fuji
00:13:51throws
00:13:53some ceremonial salt
00:13:55in Bret Hart's eyes
00:13:59Bret is blinded
00:14:02and he's beating
00:14:03for the title
00:14:07but Wrestlemania
00:14:08is not over yet
00:14:11Hulk Hogan came out
00:14:12like the hero
00:14:13Hulk is concerned
00:14:16with helping his
00:14:16Bret Hart
00:14:17yeah he's my friend
00:14:19coming out to run
00:14:20to my rescue
00:14:21go get him Hulk
00:14:23you know
00:14:23go in there
00:14:24and win my belt
00:14:26win it for me
00:14:32it sucked
00:14:35people would be going
00:14:36like
00:14:37why'd they do that
00:14:38to Bret Hart
00:14:40it was basically
00:14:40it was basically
00:14:41just this revolving
00:14:42door gimmick
00:14:43to take the title
00:14:44off of Bret Hart
00:14:44and put it back
00:14:45on Hulk Hogan
00:14:46and even as a kid
00:14:48you know
00:14:49it just felt like
00:14:50Hogan was a bad friend
00:14:51he was a good guy
00:14:53once upon a time
00:14:54but in the end
00:14:55he was a backstabbing
00:14:57knife wielding
00:14:58piece of shit
00:15:02people might have
00:15:03been getting
00:15:04a little weary
00:15:05of Hulk Hogan
00:15:06to begin with
00:15:07this is not
00:15:101985 anymore
00:15:11the Hulk's
00:15:13shtick
00:15:13was starting
00:15:13to wear pretty thin
00:15:14it was the same
00:15:16match every night
00:15:17for six
00:15:17seven years
00:15:18and people
00:15:19were getting tired
00:15:20of the leg drop
00:15:22and the
00:15:22you know
00:15:23the milk in the crowd
00:15:25and the Hulk
00:15:25the truth is
00:15:27it had passed
00:15:28I don't want to say
00:15:29he was a one trick pony
00:15:30but you'd seen it
00:15:32it wasn't dry anymore
00:15:33people had moved on
00:15:38and Vince would always
00:15:40do what was best
00:15:41for business
00:15:41ladies and gentlemen
00:15:42my good friend
00:15:43my boss
00:15:44the toughest dude
00:15:45I've ever been in the ring
00:15:46with Vince McMahon
00:15:47Hogan for his part
00:15:48I'm sure believed
00:15:49that he was
00:15:50not only the reason
00:15:51for WWE's success
00:15:52but he still had a lot
00:15:53left in the tank
00:15:53I thought
00:15:54I might be able
00:15:55to even keep
00:15:56climbing that ladder
00:15:57with the support
00:15:58of the machine
00:16:00and when I asked Vince
00:16:01what's next
00:16:02and he goes
00:16:03well I think
00:16:03your run's about over
00:16:06he said
00:16:07the red and yellow
00:16:07was dead
00:16:09and I wasn't
00:16:10going to get a push
00:16:10there anymore
00:16:12Hulk said
00:16:12Jimmy
00:16:13we might have
00:16:13a major problem
00:16:14starting to happen
00:16:15I just talked to Vince
00:16:16and I said
00:16:16what happened
00:16:17and he told me
00:16:18and I went
00:16:18oh my god
00:16:20for me
00:16:21it was the classic
00:16:22Vince McMahon
00:16:23in my opinion
00:16:24mistake
00:16:32he may know
00:16:33what he knows
00:16:34on how to run
00:16:35a huge company
00:16:36ten times
00:16:37a million times
00:16:37better than me
00:16:38as far as my character
00:16:40and what I know
00:16:41about my brand
00:16:42and name
00:16:42I thought he was
00:16:43way off
00:16:50certainly we had
00:16:51our differences
00:16:52and
00:16:53Hogan's ego
00:16:54on occasion
00:16:55would get out
00:16:55of line
00:16:56took two to build
00:16:57an empire
00:16:58I felt we were
00:17:00close personally
00:17:00but for him
00:17:04personal stuff
00:17:05was actually
00:17:06a business front
00:17:07and in so many
00:17:08words he said
00:17:09that to me
00:17:12so I made a decision
00:17:14that nobody's
00:17:14going to hurt me
00:17:15again
00:17:23Vince called me
00:17:24and I went on a rant
00:17:26because I was so mad
00:17:27at him
00:17:27Hogan said
00:17:28I'm going to find out
00:17:29who's stronger
00:17:30the machine
00:17:31behind me
00:17:31or me
00:17:32I just went nuts
00:17:34you name it
00:17:35every
00:17:37bad name
00:17:38that you could say
00:17:39that would get you
00:17:39cancelled
00:17:41you know
00:17:41the very best situation
00:17:45Hulk was unhappy
00:17:46Vince was unhappy
00:17:47it was really tough
00:17:49to watch
00:17:51and Vince
00:17:52threw a line in the sand
00:17:53and said
00:17:54you know
00:17:54you'll never work here again
00:17:58I'm good at getting fired
00:18:01Hulkamania
00:18:01it was sad
00:18:21it was sad
00:18:22but I think Hulk
00:18:24saw it as an opportunity
00:18:26to get away
00:18:27and make himself
00:18:29worth more
00:18:31should I say
00:18:31Mr Hogan
00:18:33maybe Hulky
00:18:34or is that too familiar
00:18:35Muscles is an option
00:18:36I suppose
00:18:36although that was
00:18:37of course the name
00:18:37of Michael Jackson's snake
00:18:39I know he sometimes
00:18:39likes Hulkster
00:18:41but that sounds ridiculous
00:18:42Hulk
00:18:43HH
00:18:43Hulkster
00:18:44the Hulkster
00:18:45the Hulkster

00:18:56to think daddy

00:19:04and maybe he's articulate too
00:19:14outside of wrestling
00:19:15I mean Hulk
00:19:16was really the first person
00:19:17to transcend
00:19:18WWE
00:19:21doing movies
00:19:22and TV shows
00:19:23and commercials
00:19:24a true artiste

00:22:05Baywatch but cooler
00:22:08we'd get to spend time
00:22:09with him on set
00:22:11well when I was wrestling
00:22:13I was on the road
00:22:15and gone more
00:22:15than I was home
00:22:16I started making
00:22:17more movies
00:22:19I was home
00:22:20with the kids
00:22:20he loved spending
00:22:21more time at home
00:22:22it felt good
00:22:23it felt nice
00:22:28are you happy?
00:22:30he'd pack their lunches
00:22:31sometimes he'd beat me
00:22:32to the kitchen
00:22:32I'm like
00:22:33oh you didn't have to
00:22:34do that baby

00:22:36like figuring out
00:22:37what to put
00:22:37in their lunch pails
00:22:38it was new to him
00:22:39your dad made him

00:22:58and then we'll take you
00:22:59and out he goes
00:23:00good luck babe
00:23:01I was making these movies
00:23:02but didn't have my heart
00:23:03all the way in it
00:23:06I have a hard time
00:23:07sitting around
00:23:08for 14 hours a day
00:23:10waiting for
00:23:10the first AD
00:23:11to come out
00:23:12and get me
00:23:12for 3 minutes
00:23:13I didn't like
00:23:15the process
00:23:17because I was so spoiled
00:23:18with wrestling
00:23:19wrestling for 10 or 15 minutes
00:23:21and making the million dollar
00:23:22minimum guarantee
00:23:23when he got up
00:23:24in the ring
00:23:25he was a showman
00:23:27he wanted to share
00:23:28his pleasure
00:23:29crowds
00:23:30yelling
00:23:30screaming
00:23:32and the acting
00:23:33was kind of a lark
00:23:35but I don't think
00:23:35it mattered to him
00:23:36that much
00:23:37I'd love to climb
00:23:38back in there
00:23:38one more time
00:23:39maybe have Kermit
00:23:40as my business manager
00:23:42I'd love to
00:23:42you know
00:23:43I've never been
00:23:43in a wrestling ring before
00:23:44I started going squirrely
00:23:46take some beach towel

00:23:48I said brother
00:23:48I appreciate the offer
00:23:49becoming the next John Wayne
00:23:50but I gotta get out of here
00:23:52this is driving me crazy
00:23:56I'm gonna go back
00:23:56after wrestling
00:24:03now come on
00:24:04you know
00:24:04and I know
00:24:05it could be a possible
00:24:06return to the ring
00:24:07Hulkster
00:24:08well you know something
00:24:09brother
00:24:09I was in the airport
00:24:10last night
00:24:11and when I was flying
00:24:12here to see Regis
00:24:13a little old lady
00:24:13came up to me
00:24:14she goes
00:24:14Hulk Hogan
00:24:15you make me feel
00:24:1618 years old again
00:24:17you know
00:24:18the lady said
00:24:19I quit watching wrestling
00:24:20when you were on there
00:24:20you were the greatest
00:24:21there ever was
00:24:22greatest there ever will be
00:24:23and it's not the same
00:24:24without you
00:24:29it smells like
00:24:30the rodeos in town
00:24:32so
00:24:33we were at Disney Studios
00:24:34and our sound stage
00:24:36for Thunder Paradise
00:24:37was right next
00:24:38to the wrestling sound stage
00:24:39for the WCW wrestling
00:24:50WCW
00:24:51it wasn't sports entertainment
00:24:53it was wrestling
00:24:54eye for an eye
00:24:55tooth for a tooth
00:24:56wrestling
00:24:56I'm bringing the rope in
00:24:58they can say
00:24:59I can't stick to back
00:25:00they can say
00:25:01everything they want
00:25:02it was a real
00:25:03distant
00:25:05real distant
00:25:06number two
00:25:06from what the WWE was
00:25:08it was
00:25:09it was rough
00:25:10from the Pacific Northwest
00:25:13Big
00:25:13Josh
00:25:17WCW
00:25:18had never turned
00:25:18a dollar profit
00:25:19and was losing
00:25:20millions of dollars
00:25:21every year
00:25:22here comes Robocop Bob
00:25:23our idea
00:25:25of a good
00:25:25turnout
00:25:26in an arena
00:25:27was like
00:25:271200 people
00:25:29especially if half
00:25:31of them were sober
00:25:33either we fix it
00:25:34or we pull the plug
00:25:39my primary goal was to convince advertisers
00:25:42and sponsors
00:25:42that we were legitimate
00:25:44and now he sticks his head
00:25:45into that watering trough
00:25:47because WCW was perceived
00:25:50to be just a notch or two
00:25:51above porn
00:25:53I needed Madison Avenue
00:25:54to look at WCW
00:25:56as a competitor
00:25:57to WWE
00:26:02and I needed Hulk Hogan
00:26:03to do that
00:26:04so I knew Hulk was on the lot
00:26:06we're on the lot
00:26:07and I took advantage of it
00:26:09to try to get a meeting with Hulk
00:26:10he comes approaching me
00:26:11asked me if I'd come to work for him
00:26:14and I said let me think about it
00:26:16Happy New Year to you
00:26:18and then
00:26:19you know he looked at me one day
00:26:20and he's like
00:26:21well
00:26:21are you ready to do another run
00:26:23Happy New Year
00:26:24I thought maybe he'd be home
00:26:26a little bit longer
00:26:27but
00:26:27you know
00:26:28work was a calling
00:26:37by the time I'd cut my deal
00:26:40it was ridiculous
00:26:45you know
00:26:46I had to actually give back
00:26:47some of the deal that I did
00:26:50so that certain people
00:26:50would not get fired
00:26:56and money
00:26:57we had a lot of money
00:26:58you know
00:26:58it didn't matter
00:26:59if he slowed down
00:27:00or sped up
00:27:01it was like
00:27:02we were comfortable
00:27:02but
00:27:03he never wanted to retire
00:27:04he was just
00:27:05addicted to the ring
00:27:06did you ever think
00:27:07at age 40
00:27:08this would be
00:27:09kind of a comeback
00:27:10for you
00:27:11yeah
00:27:11well you know
00:27:12this is kind of like
00:27:1340 going on 18
00:27:17who do you want to see
00:27:18at WCW
00:27:20Hulk Hogan
00:27:21Hulk Hogan knew
00:27:22that he had value
00:27:23in his brand
00:27:24the single most popular
00:27:26wrestling star
00:27:27in the history
00:27:27of the sport
00:27:28and he told me
00:27:29I could run the company
00:27:30any way I wanted
00:27:31I could take over
00:27:32for everybody
00:27:32and run the company
00:27:33you know
00:27:34he just said
00:27:34promise me
00:27:35you put lightning
00:27:36in a bottle
00:27:36I said
00:27:36I don't have a problem
00:27:37with that at all
00:27:38by the early 90s
00:27:39there was like
00:27:40no denying the fact
00:27:42that the Hulkamania
00:27:43machine was winding down
00:27:46he comes to WCW
00:27:48and they have an even more
00:27:49like prehistoric version
00:27:50of Hulk Hogan
00:27:51that they're putting on
00:27:52this is the greatest day
00:27:54that professional wrestling
00:27:55has ever seen
00:27:57there is this incredibly
00:27:58staged parade
00:27:59where he's in this red corvette
00:28:02there are
00:28:03there are fake reporters
00:28:04there is a fake audience
00:28:06look at the faces
00:28:07of the kids
00:28:08and the excitement
00:28:08in the people
00:28:09that's what they wanted
00:28:10they wanted to see
00:28:11Hulk Hogan get back
00:28:12in the ring
00:28:12and that's what they've got
00:28:13like the babe
00:28:14of the town
00:28:14like Henry Aaron
00:28:15WCW was leaning in
00:28:18to the nostalgia
00:28:19we're in a new era now
00:28:20so why are you
00:28:21the only people
00:28:22that don't see this
00:28:23you know
00:28:24oh my
00:28:25people are comparing
00:28:26this move
00:28:27to Joe Montana's move
00:28:28from the 49ers
00:28:29to the Chiefs
00:28:29what do you think
00:28:30about that comparison Hulk
00:28:31well you know something
00:28:32brother
00:28:32the big man upstairs
00:28:34he moves mountains dude
00:28:35and in 7 days
00:28:36and 7 nights
00:28:37he created the heaven
00:28:38and the earth brother
00:28:38and on the 8th day dude
00:28:40he created Hulkamania
00:28:42so I can't wait
00:28:43to come into the WCW
00:28:45and show him
00:28:46what the strongest force
00:28:47is all about
00:28:50Hulk Hogan
00:28:51in WCW
00:28:53I don't think
00:28:54had the impact
00:28:55it would have had
00:28:56a few years earlier
00:28:57particularly
00:28:58in the wake
00:28:59of the steroid scandal
00:29:01which wasn't over
00:29:03the feds accused
00:29:04this man
00:29:05Vince McMahon
00:29:05of pumping his stable
00:29:07of stars
00:29:07with steroids
00:29:08the federal government
00:29:10contended
00:29:10that Vince
00:29:11was a steroid
00:29:13dealer
00:29:14Vince got indicted
00:29:15I was subpoenaed
00:29:17to be the star witness
00:29:18for the feds
00:29:19if the feds
00:29:20pinned Mr. McMahon
00:29:21with a conviction
00:29:22he could face
00:29:2311 years in jail
00:29:24there was the anticipation
00:29:25that Hulk Hogan
00:29:27would get up
00:29:28on the stand
00:29:28and reveal secrets
00:29:30about Vince McMahon
00:29:31no one had ever
00:29:32heard before
00:29:33they wanted me
00:29:34to say
00:29:35the Vince
00:29:36sold me steroids
00:29:37I just wanted
00:29:38to move on
00:29:39shut this crap down
00:29:40it's still going on
00:29:41so
00:29:41I went in the
00:29:42federal courtroom
00:29:43I told the truth
00:29:44defense
00:29:45do you recall
00:29:46Mr. McMahon
00:29:46handing you steroids
00:29:47Hulk replied
00:29:49never
00:29:49I said he never
00:29:50sold me steroids
00:29:51I told the judge
00:29:52I said it was just like
00:29:53a carton of cigarettes
00:29:54hey give me a carton of cigarettes
00:29:55you know
00:29:56next time I get one
00:29:57I'll pay you back
00:29:57it was just like that
00:29:58sometimes my steroids
00:29:59were sent to the office
00:30:01and I picked it up
00:30:02with my fan mail
00:30:03he said yes
00:30:04he took them
00:30:05finally
00:30:05and said yes
00:30:07it was of his own volition
00:30:08the former wrestler
00:30:09admitted publicly
00:30:10for the first time
00:30:11that he used steroids
00:30:13for 13 years
00:30:14he basically sunk their case
00:30:16after two days
00:30:17of deliberation
00:30:18the verdict
00:30:19not guilty
00:30:20Hulk's testimony
00:30:21definitely held
00:30:22WWE's case
00:30:23and then the next thing
00:30:24you know
00:30:25on the courtroom steps
00:30:26the media hit Vince
00:30:28did you feel badly
00:30:29Hulk Hogan
00:30:29testified against you
00:30:31yes
00:30:31when it's really tough
00:30:33to have someone
00:30:35with whom you've worked with
00:30:36to take the stand
00:30:37and tell
00:30:38certainly not
00:30:39the whole truth
00:30:41I mean it looks like
00:30:42some kind of wrestling
00:30:43promo that Vince cut
00:30:45outside the courthouse
00:30:46it just blew me away
00:30:48that he would say that
00:30:49when I saved his ass
00:30:50just as we say
00:30:51in the World Wrestling Federation
00:30:52and it could very well be
00:30:53that the hunters
00:30:54are soon
00:30:55will be the hunted
00:30:57oh really
00:30:58you know
00:30:59you really want me
00:31:00to tell the truth
00:31:00okay
00:31:01I know where all the bodies
00:31:03are buried
00:31:03and if it had been
00:31:04one of those days
00:31:05for vengeance
00:31:05I guess
00:31:06he would be getting
00:31:07out about now
00:31:08and I'd be owning
00:31:09the wrestling business
00:31:10clearly there was
00:31:12a lot of personal
00:31:13animosity
00:31:13between these guys
00:31:14and Hulk Hogan
00:31:15had already left
00:31:16the company
00:31:17to work for the competition
00:31:18Mr. McMahon
00:31:19is the winner
00:31:20oh man
00:31:21I couldn't wait
00:31:22to get down to WCW
00:31:23and win that world title
00:31:24teach everybody a lesson
00:31:26about who the man was
00:31:27outside court
00:31:28Hulk was tamer
00:31:29than usual
00:31:30did Vince give you steroids
00:31:31the only thing Hulk said
00:31:33watch my pay-per-view special
00:31:35he's American
00:31:38man
00:31:43he's back
00:31:45he's back
00:31:48he's got the red, white, blue
00:31:51running through his veins
00:31:53he was born and raised
00:31:58in the US of A
00:32:01after the steroid trial
00:32:03I believe I got
00:32:04that respect
00:32:05that I had lost back
00:32:07the Hulk stars
00:32:09in the ring
00:32:10it seemed like
00:32:11a real good night
00:32:12my run wasn't over
00:32:14Vince apparently
00:32:15was wrong
00:32:16I was still hot
00:32:37I don't mean to be mean
00:32:39but I do remember
00:32:40watching that match
00:32:41and thinking that
00:32:42this was an older Hulk Hogan

00:37:07the times were edgy
00:37:08people were tired
00:37:09of the good guys
00:37:10and the milkshake
00:37:11in the back of the yard
00:37:12and all that milkshake crap

00:37:31completely changed it
00:37:32so I was actually there
00:37:34as a kid
00:37:35and the energy
00:37:36in that building
00:37:37was
00:37:37it was so perfect
00:37:39for what was about to happen
00:37:42I never experienced
00:37:43anything like it
00:37:44because it was
00:37:45just such an emotional
00:37:46and sensory overload
00:37:47it was better than a high
00:37:51I've done my share
00:37:53and this was like
00:37:55the best high
00:37:55I've ever been on
00:37:56Hulk Hogan is here
00:37:58Hulk Hogan is here
00:38:00Hulk Hogan is in the building

00:38:08what he walked through
00:38:08the curtain
00:38:10the audience is reacting
00:38:12because they think
00:38:13their hero is coming down
00:38:14to save the other hero
00:38:15right
00:38:15we hated that Hulk Hogan
00:38:17that do-gooder
00:38:19clinched jaw face
00:38:20that he had
00:38:20when he came out
00:38:21to help Bret Hart
00:38:22it's like oh
00:38:23he's coming to put himself
00:38:24in the spotlight again
00:38:25not this again
00:38:27you know
00:38:28between the whole
00:38:29steroid thing
00:38:30and fans thinking
00:38:32the red nail was dead
00:38:35I just flip the script
00:38:37on him
00:38:37and give him something
00:38:39they'll never forget
00:38:40as long as they live
00:38:56there's a little kid
00:38:57behind me
00:38:58and he doesn't ask
00:38:59the simplest question
00:39:00to his dad
00:39:00he literally just said
00:39:02dad why did he do that
00:39:03he's a bad guy now
00:39:13there's this moment
00:39:15of silence
00:39:17it doesn't take you long
00:39:19before you realize
00:39:20that you're in a riot situation
00:39:22and they wanted to come
00:39:24and pull you apart
00:39:25like the living dead
00:39:28we got a fan coming in
00:39:30to try to help matters out
00:39:37well he didn't last long
00:39:41I felt like it was a
00:39:43a classic case of
00:39:45innocence lost

00:48:00the chic
00:48:00I had a knee
00:48:01that was blown
00:48:02and it needed
00:48:03to be fixed
00:48:03but I just
00:48:03kept working
00:48:04on it
00:48:05forever
00:48:05and it lasted
00:48:07as long as I
00:48:08could before I
00:48:08finally had my
00:48:09first scope job
00:48:17you know I've
00:48:20been grinding
00:48:21since
00:48:2277
00:48:23see he let it
00:48:24go too long
00:48:25is the problem
00:48:26he used to think
00:48:27he's trying to be
00:48:27cool but it's not
00:48:28it's a matter of
00:48:29time
00:48:29you're the man
00:48:31that's what they
00:48:32used to say
00:48:37he couldn't
00:48:37he couldn't wrestle
00:48:38the way he used
00:48:38to wrestle
00:48:39because of his
00:48:39injuries
00:48:40now he may have
00:48:41decided I want
00:48:41to take some
00:48:42time off
00:48:42he's going to
00:48:43explore the
00:48:43other opportunities
00:48:44that come his way
00:48:45because he's
00:48:46Hulk Hogan
00:48:46and this really
00:48:47helps me segue
00:48:48into being the
00:48:49next president
