this glorious monument

Do you think Hogan has worked himself into a shoot with all these lies?
Do you think he has Mandala'ed up memories of Elvis watching him wrestle in Memphis?

Many choice Bad Terry fibs, but I always admire the classic 'hiding from the yakuza.'

Where did these ones come from? Don't recall ever hearing them before but I also do not doubt the authenticity of these lies one bit.

The Tyson one is sort of true, I think it comes from him on Bubba the Love Sponge. Tyson would have been the guest ref for a Hogan match but that was right before he lost to Buster Douglas so they went with Douglas instead.

The Tyson one is kind of true, as Tyson was booked to be a special ref for a WWF match, but when he lost to James "Buster" Douglas, WWF dropped him like a hot stone and replaced him with Douglas for the match.

Wasn't WCW also thinking of using Tyson too before he bit Holyfield's ear and killed that from happening?

Yes, the WWF didn't have a signed contract with Tyson at the Rumble, so Bischoff talked to his people and decided that the price was too high and he'd just let Vince hang himself.

Various interviews over the years. Some of the stuff I think was said on Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge. The 400 days a year thing comes from his second autobiography, I believe it is.

Pretty much this. A guy called Joey Kuras who worked for Tommy's company did pretty much all the sound effects for a bunch of games that Tommy now takes credit for including the oof sound effect.

There's a really funny (and unintentionally long) hbomberguy video about it that is worth a watch just for how ludicrous Tommy is.

For reference Andre died in 1993 and the last time he ever shared a ring with Hogan was in 1990 so either Hogan has completely imagined a match in 1993 that never happened or he completely forgot the like, 25 other times he was in a match with Andre after Wrestlemania 3

Hulk Hogan is a pathological liar, dude.

Like, I'm sure some of it is him being carny as gently caress but there's other stuff like claiming he could've played Bass for Metallica or being able to smell death on a child that just defies that explanation
