Former WCW President and WWE Hall of Famer Eric Bischoff shed light on the true nature of Hulk Hogan behind the scenes.
Contrary to the negative portrayal by the media in an interview with Wrestling Shoot Interviews, Bischoff revealed that Hogan is a genuinely kind and compassionate person.
When asked about Hogan’s true character, Bischoff emphasised:
There’s a narrative about who Hulk Hogan is, and it’s the farthest thing from the truth. Hulk is one of the kindest, most generous, and caring individuals.
Bischoff recounted numerous instances where Hogan’s true character shone through. He described how Hogan would never hesitate to make someone feel good, even if it meant momentarily interrupting an important discussion.
When I see somebody like Hulk Hogan in the middle of a meal, while he’s engaged in an important conversation and somebody comes up to him and I’ve seen this a million times, ‘Hey Hulk, I hate to interrupt, but’ and Hulk over the decades that I’ve worked with him I’ve never seen him do anything other than make that person feel good. That doesn’t benefit Hulk but he cares.
The revelations from Bischoff challenge the preconceived notions that many have about the wrestling legend. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Gene Bollea, rose to fame in the 1980s as one of the most recognisable figures in professional wrestling. However, his reputation has been marred by controversies and scandals over the years.
