07:44terry on
07:45to a tanning bed he didn't even know what they were and he had to stay tan for work oh

08:06i know him like i mean when you're with somebody that long too thick and thin good and bad tired
08:12happy you know you you learn that person very well
08:19and i was always the one with the camera this is the uh greatest wall because the greatest person
08:26is out in this wall when i met terry and i asked him hey do you have family and he
08:31laid out his
08:32situation when i was to show these people the refrigerator that took me from a mere 196 pounds
08:39when i was 12 years old to a wall thing 305 pounds i grew up in florida south tampa
08:47we were broke i hated it you know especially you know watching how my dad slaved in the sun
08:55as a construction worker
08:59as a kid i made a decision that financially i would never live like that so we got pete bolea
09:07my dad was that old hard school italian you know and he was a little rough on me that's for
09:13sure they
09:14weren't the type of parents that would tell you they love you you know that would never happen
09:18terry was a mistake type child they had alan and then eight years later had terry
09:25my older brother alan well he was the tough guy alan was my dad's favorite he's always talking about how
09:31strong he was and he would just tell me you know you're not like your brother you know i didn't
09:37understand that i always had a big chip on my shoulder but you know i hated confrontations
09:45he wasn't the loudmouth you see on tv he was very soft-spoken shy no i wasn't always this confident
09:52when did that when did that change
09:56on the weekends florida championship wrestling would come on the tv back then
10:01i've never seen anything like that
10:11i had no idea that this existed i was probably eight or nine years old when i first went in
10:17person
10:18they had these great characters the conflict between good and bad how into it the fans were that were
10:25loyal dedicated fans i love it i love it it was this love and energy that they were all getting
10:32there i could feel it man and the one guy that really hooked me was the american dream dusty rose
10:39this whole rap real descent the rasp of dad my new flandango household i'm so quick i'm so fast
10:48tell you fuck is nothing but a power the energy will just drag you up out of any hole i
10:53went there and
10:54all through childhood i was hooked that's what i wanted to do i wanted to be a wrestler
11:11the problem was i was scared to death of those guys
11:15most of them were 300 pounds and over and they had teeth knocked out broken noses and cauliflower ears
11:20and it scared the bejesus out of me i believe professional wrestling was completely real
11:27i knew i couldn't do it i was real fat didn't take my shirt off ever when i went to
11:34the beach because
11:35i needed a bra pretty much i was living off you know burger king and snickers bars
11:43played little league baseball but they could throw me out a second not so fat and slow so i got
11:50into a bowling
11:53but then my life changed when i realized i could make money playing music
12:01terry was a talented bass player he would have been guns and roses like he's that level
12:09i learned that i liked being in front of the crowd and being on stage but my dad was upset
12:16that i had
12:17quit school and was running around in a rock and roll band and with some weights like an idiot
12:24it led to me you know having a big blow with my parents getting kicked out of the house
12:32so few years after high school we had a little following in north tampa then all of a sudden
12:37these wrestlers are coming in the bar oh my gosh i'm on stage and here's these guys i'm scared to
12:43death
12:43the guys like superstar billy graham you know what a fist sandwich is i'm brian blair my first memory of
12:51meeting terry was when he was playing bass guitar and he would stand out so much he was in these
12:56platform
12:57heels and had jewelry on and long blonde hair suntan big muscles i mean he was the show it was
13:04if the music
13:05was good but he was like the show and one of the things that shocked me more than anything was
13:09they
13:10weren't mean to me i didn't realize they were grooming me
13:17and they took me to all the matches it's like i'm getting free
13:25and then one of the biggest nights of my life changed everything we saw steve kearns at fort homer
13:34history armory the bad guy was just waylaying his ass and the referee told him to knock it off
13:44you let go of me revenue i remember he looked right down at steve kearn i read his lips
13:50he said hit me hit me no i went what steve hit him he goes again it's again but he
13:59made this comeback
13:59from underneath i was like what i just didn't believe it i was disillusioned for about two seconds
14:07and i got over it all of a sudden the door opens and i knew i didn't have to be
14:12a tough guy to get in
14:13the business they don't want to tell you that it's not real they want you to believe that it is
14:25but people don't realize what your body goes through you get your butt kicked in professional wrestling
14:44wow i remember all too well this is where terry and i learned to wrestle it was called the dungeon
14:55i had made the decision to go for it and i just believed that i knew exactly what i had
15:02to do
15:03to run with the pack it was brutal brutal what you had to go through to get into the business
15:11the the newer guys they have no clue they have no clue i spent a year in the gym training
15:17twice a day
15:17laying in the sun all day long and like a fool i told everybody i won't be a wrestler i
15:24won't be a
15:25wrestler that's the wrong thing to do one of the teachers put his forearm in my shin and grabbed my
15:30toe
15:31snap and they broke his leg literally broke it
15:39i was living in a hotel room at the time um and i still tried to come home whenever i
15:45could but i
15:45wasn't welcome there you know my dad would go to work and run back to the house my mom would
15:53cook for
15:54me and take care of me and then i could like sleep in his bed and oh you got to
15:58get out of here and your
15:58dad's coming home take off you know my leg getting broke was minuscule compared to what he put me
16:06through so i had to go back there was no quitting for me since i got better i started showing
16:16up down
16:19that made terry want to try even harder like you're not going to keep me down
16:25he just was like a timex he took the licking and kept on ticket that's terry that's a hulkster that's
16:33him
16:39terry's first match was against me he came out with a mask on as the super destroyer and he looked
16:47dorky super destroyer
16:53terry bolea did not complete his training and immediately become hulk hogan i mean you have to
16:58pay your dues and you have to develop your persona i'm a professional wrestling historian and author
17:07and despite my youthful appearance i've been covering the sport of kings for more than 40 years
17:15terry bolea's youth and his size made you take notice he had genetic gifts and the super destroyer
17:24was masked and i believe that was deliberate i was getting beat everywhere but they didn't want people
17:28to see me getting beat i had to learn how to work in the ring this is someone who had
17:34the potential
17:35to be a notable but he wasn't there yet he was very green put the guy under a mask let
17:43him make his
17:43mistakes later on we can make him into a real character
17:55oh my god wrestling was very territorial back then like the american mob professional wrestling
18:05promoters formed an organization that would divide north america into territories you know you're supposed
18:13to stay six to seven months in each place and get your bags and move it's driving like 25 2600
18:20miles a week
18:25i was finally you know trading a real life for a wrestling life
18:32rock and roll yes sir buddy so i went up to memphis

20:30if it wasn't for two people in my life jerry lawler and hulk hogan there'd be no jimmy hart trust
20:36me on
20:37that and i really mean that i went to high school with jerry the king law back in memphis to

20:51i went by the coliseum to see the wrestling jerry lawler goes jimmy come here come here i said what

21:07he asked me
21:08to manage him i said you're gonna do it king he said are you kidding me this guy will never
21:12make a
21:12dime in this business he was not very good i'll be i'll be honest with you
21:19hogan was very big of course everybody knew that but not on the same level as other wrestlers he was
21:27just kind of getting his feet wet started making eight hundred dollars a week you needed to make
21:32at least a thousand dollars to buy food and gas and pay for hotel rooms back then
21:39hulk learned a lot from baller one thing i told him you need to take a punch you don't need
21:45to take
21:45a bump you just stand there and overcome that with your size and your strength
21:54one of the greats in professional wrestling he was super green i wrestled him atlanta quite a few
22:02times in that period and the match was always about 30 seconds long maybe people out there don't
22:13realize what you're looking at daddy but you got six foot seven right here a mountain of a man
22:19i knew more about wrestling then than he ever knew in his whole life anybody out there who wants to
22:23step in the ring had a thousand dollars up for anybody who can break the golden squeeze all it was
22:47that's all he needed to do it was believable enough it was always a sight to see a guy like
22:52that just
22:52squeeze the daylights out you and throw you down on the mat and walk around he was unbeatable he was
22:59just so big he really didn't look like a human being he looked like somebody who did step out of
23:07a comic book
23:10at that point all the promoters they said oh you're bigger than the hulk a big muscular monster
23:18so that's a good name and that's where terry the hulk boulder started oh there's that big leg
23:25huge man first thing i did was i did a video standing on jerry jarrett's kitchen room table
23:34when they see this guy that they won't forget that terry boulder is the hulk let's take a look at
23:38it
23:38right now this man is not a television illusion he is not an artist's conception
23:49he is not a figment of the imagination
23:54he is real he is the hulk
24:03that made him into a superhero it really did he's the hulk it was terrible not a lot was expected
24:13from hulk hogan in terms of character he was intriguing and they wanted to see more of him
24:21he's the hulk they just showed up they put in the main event everywhere we go
24:26the character didn't really have a persona other than he was big and nasty and mean
24:39everybody's been running scared they've been feeding me this great b meat every week on tv
24:45i want the best now all these superstars they've been hiding in the eye of the storm brother i've
24:51been whipping everybody out here as i was becoming more popular all the promoters they said with your
24:56look and as big as you are you need to be in new york
25:02madison square garden is the epitome of wrestling

25:43mean
25:45back in the day my dad gave him his name he was this big kid and my dad of course

37:00the reason
37:00is because of dusty roads dusty roads the american dream dreams that you saved up for a lifetime and
37:06those things that you couldn't reach out and get the dream taught me what it was all about he taught
37:12me about loving living fighting and getting down to war about 10 years ago i left tampa florida my
37:18hometown with a big chip on my shoulder i took on all the top contenders daddy and then the day
37:24of
37:25reckoning came the only way to really grow in the professional wrestling business
37:31is to make yourself bigger not just physically bigger but bigger as a personality and that's
37:38what he did man oh man what time is it little dude what time do you have right there man
37:43eight
37:44o'clock i feel like i've been awake for 40 days and 40 nights man and the reason why is
37:48like he got
37:49it you know and it was crazy because i remember listening to him kind of cut through a promo
37:54where does this redneck get off that where does he get off that he started getting creepy and
37:58weird you know and i'm like and for one moment i felt a power like i've never felt before a
38:04lightning
38:05bolt hit me had a great promo on a scale one to ten hulk hogan was a 10. if your
38:10richter scale spins
38:11around three and four times it's not an earthquake it's just me pressing that big elijah over my head
38:17in the sun dome hulk hogan would talk for 59 seconds exactly and i was like cut that's a take
38:23i don't
38:24like to overthink things there's nothing to think about either you can dance and play the guitar
38:28and play the fiddle you can and at the age of 30 hoping is one of the most colorful good
38:34guys in the
38:35game i figured my entrance out i had the music i had it really really rocking if you watch any
38:41of
38:41the old minnesota tapes but i didn't have the most important thing i needed a gimmick he was a super
38:50smart guy he could figure out the big picture more than other people could his wheels are turning
38:56and the character was never not on his mind well there's a big guy fat guy hairy guy bodybuilder
39:02shape whatever a great gimmick needs to transcend the wrestler and patriotism back then meant everything
39:16it wasn't in the politics at the time but we're in a situation where our country was starting to make
39:23a comeback it is time for us to realize that we're too great a nation to limit ourselves to small
39:30dreams
39:31those who say that we're in a time when there are no heroes
39:37they just don't know where to look the fans were so like usa all that usa and stuff of course

39:43out with a flag
39:46you know it was just so pro america that he he couldn't even make a mistake honestly
39:59so it was all timing and being there with the sun moon the stars everything in the line and doing
40:04everything at the right moment the american reality i'll tell you what it's all about it's believing in
