i believe they approached multiple celebrities to be the spokesperson for the grill so there may perhaps be a grain of truth to the hulksters stories but what likely happened is he said that doesn't work for me, brother and hung up the phone

I like his story he was in a long , luxurious bath and didn't get to the phone in time.

He asked if you could heat up Pastamania in it and they said no and he said "No Deal, Brother Dude!"

I watched a short doco about Dennis Rodman on YouTube last night and it had the hulkster claiming that Phil Jackson was personally calling him over and over trying to find out where Dennis was when he went to wrestle during the NBA finals.

I can just imagine a marketing team going down a list of '80s icons who aren't too expensive and calling them one by one, offering the deal to the first one who said yes.

"Mr. T said no, wrong number for Cyndi Lauper, Hogan didn't pick up, Tone Loc may or may not be alive, let's give Big George a call and after him we'll try Grandmaster Flash."

Hogan likes to cast himself as a solver of problems with other celebrities. He personally maintained peace on the A-team set between Mr. T and George Peppard, DUDE.

Every time a wrestler dies Hogan checks to see if he ever bodyslammed him, just to add another one to the count.

He told one version where he missed the call because he was being a good dad and picking his kids up from school and when he got home and checked the voicemail they had already moved on to foreman.

And then there's the third option where apparently on his reality show, Hogan implies that it was his wife that told him to pass on the grill.

The wild aspect to me is that he has lead a life everyone in the wrestling industry would love to have, and a lot of people in general would. But he simply can't help himself and and he not only tells huge whoppers but easily disproven ones.

I've said it before and I'll say it a dozen times again, if I won "The Powerball" I would finance a movie that attempts to entirely portray Hogan's life as he tells it and then a documentary to fact check the first one.

I would do the same for Bubba the Love Sponge.

That would be my contribution to the arts.

The best Hogan story is him meeting a sick kid backstage before his big match at Wembley Stadium, noticing a strong death odor, and then finding out later that the kid had died during his match.

Is this the new version of the story he told about meeting a very ill Make-a-Wish kid, getting him a ticket for SummerSlam in Wembley (to see Hogan wrestle, of course), noticing the seat was empty during his match and thus realizing he died and that inspired him to write Hulkster in Heaven?

All of which happened despite the reality that Hogan didn't have a match at the Wembley SummerSlam, wasn't in the UK at the time, and wasn't even employed by the WWF at the time.

That Make-A-Wish kid actually died in 1973. Hulk liberated his soul from The Undertaker when he defeated him in Pride. From time to time the boy's spirit appears to The Hulkster when he needs it most.

Yep, from here, starting at 12:50: https://youtu.be/S3dFvNAYx6s?si=GZapO31g9bVn6Vrr&t=12m50s

The story also is about how he’s responsible for Simon Cowell coming over the US.

It also ties into his tale about having to flee Japan for a while because (according to him, of course) he knocked out Inoki for real in a match, and the Yakuza were going to kill him over it.

Didn't he claim he legitimately killed Inoki in the ring but he was revived by someone doing CPR on him somehow?

My other favorite quote from Hogan related to Japan: That time he claimed he wrestled 400 days in one year because he was flying to Japan and back so often.

Actually yes that was it. He claimed he accidentally killed (or almost killed) Inoki during a 1983 match, Inoki was revived by CPR, and afterwards Hogan had to flee the Yakuza

Somehow they apparently forgot about this two years later when the WWF was doing a tour of Japan and Hogan claims Tatsumi Fujinami tried to shoot on him (at the direction of the heads of NJPW) and Hogan had to fight for real to keep his title.
