Hulk Hogan has stories for ages, but he’s also heard some too.
The WWE Hall Of Famer has heard and told it all, whether it’s from your everyday fan or you’re established top star and speaking with Chris Van Vliet on “Insight,” Hogan made some claims and talked about the yarns spun about him as well.
“Some of the Hulk Hogan stories like ‘Oh my gosh, my dad says he played basketball with you for 15 years at Venice Beach.’ ‘Well, tell your dad I said hello.’ But I’ve never played basketball. I don’t say. ‘Hey, kid, your dad is a liar.’ I mean, you know, you just can’t go there.”
Hulk Hogan Understands That Stories Come With Fame
Hulk Hogan recently was married to Sky Daily and explained to Van Vliet that his third wife is getting accustomed to fans telling him such tales so often.
“But I think she’s [Sky] to the point now where she understands that the people have been endeared by this character so much. Everybody’s got a Hulk Hogan story, whether it’s good or bad, true or false. They tell that story. And sometimes I wonder, ‘What are they still getting out of that story?'”
However, Hogan says that there are name stars in the business who does the same about him, but doesn’t disclose who those stars are.
“A lot of wrestlers will tell stories about me that I hear and it’s just not true. Some of the guys are main event guys, and I hear these stories. I wonder what they’re still getting out of telling that story.”
If you go by a recent WWE source, Hogan is the one telling stories, specifically one where he told Van Vliet that he and Shane McMahon talked about Nick Hogan getting involved at WrestleMania 39.
