On a softer ground that might have been ok. I think "pro wrestling" is stupid. They broke a guys kneck in Florida & proceeded to roll him over & jump on him.
Malachy Smith Your "opinion" is buried deep in the 1980s. Wrestling entertains people just as much as a soap opera or a play and those are just as pre-determined as any wrestling bout. Wrestlers have no spoken like cavemen or glared at each other for decades.
That doesn’t negate the fact that Richard Belzer deliberately leaves out that he begged to be put in the sleeper hold because it doesn’t make hulk hogan look as bad in the story.
@@nebulous6660 Exactly. "How wrestling is done", is fakery, not choking a guy unconcious. Not a Belzer fan at all, but Hogan was being a cowardly dick. HE never was choked out in that way while wrestling, yet he does it to a 140 pound weakling. He deserved to be sued.
Oh please, guy poked and prodded being a dick. Asked for a demonstration. It was an accident hulk had no intention on that happening. His weight (when hulk lightened up) made him slide out and hit the floor. BS let him pay the hospital bill do a cpl more shows for ratings and move on. He is a peace of crap. You asked him to do it period.
@@gartholamu7916 So true! But therein lies the issue: it was bad enough that the truth suffices. There was no need to lie about except the sensationalize the issue for gain. And that's what qualifies Firestone as a weasel.
@@chubbynubs2208 No, you clearly are the slow one. Have you seen the video of the incident? Hulk dropped Belzer like a sack of potatoes, he did not toss him. Do you even know what a toss is?
@@chubbynubs2208 toss- to throw with a quick, light, or careless motion. Example :Mary tossed her hairbrush onto the bed. Tosser- general term of abuse towards an idiotic or selfishly arrogant person. Example: Austin is being a bit of a tosser.
Or how he was poking fun at them al night, had the producer tell Hogan and Mr T that the audience would have a bunch of special needs kids that really wanted to see them (there weren't any). Belzer then fell flat on his own just before Hogan put the headlock on. Clearly Hogan wanted to put some pressure on Belzer because Belzer was a prick, but if Hogan really wanted to squeeze him he wouldn't have been able to even speak after. Belzer probably wanted work the hold a bit but the pressure of the hold caught him off guard and he fell harder than he thought. Never should have been something to sue over.
EXACTLY. That's the thing, unless he was tapping with his right hand-which you can't see, but seriously I don't think Hogan dropped him on purpose because Hogan A_wasn't really paying and B-the guy-from this view-wasn't doing anything to have Hogan stop.
Yeah I'm sure he suffered a concussion for a few dollars and to sabotage Hogan. Give me a fucking break the guys a huge bully and was scared to death whenever someone 1/2 his size would call him out for REAL.
What a crock, the bloke was told flat out, "we're not putting any moves on you", but he persisted. He also didn't toss him or drop him to the ground, and he didn't realize he was out when he let go. You can see clear as day he's talking to Mr.T and not looking when he lets go. It was also only seconds before that he's kinda nudged Hogan. A handful of words later he lets go and the guy drops. It's also freaking weird to go on to twist and contort a truth that was aired on t.v. so *everyone* knows the truth the whole time.
I see a lot of people overplaying there hand on this one, of course Hogan knew he'd knocked the guy out, the face lock was the warning, the 2 foot drop was the lesson, don't disrespect professionals.
Technically, his limp, wet noodle like body slid out from the hold. As he stated on this show "I'm about 6'1 and 150 lbs, they call me the pencil armed comedian". Lol.
I saw an interview where Hogan said he panicked and dropped him instead of laying him down. Easy to criticize but I guess when on live TV and something goes wrong hard to say how'd we react. A bad situation all around.
JayTheAdviceGuy, yeah Hogan sounded concerned when he was pulling him up off the floor. Plus, around 5:50, you can see Hogan’s concern at seeing the blood on the back of the guy’s head. I think he expected Belzer to signal him by tapping. Even though Belzer signaled as he claimed, it didn’t seem like an obvious enough signal of distress.
Belzer says it himself he didn't care about Hogan or Mr. T it was all about ratings and he treated them with that same regard throughout the interview.
"Suddenly Hogan put Richard into a sleeper hold, picked him up, and tossed him to the ground" - ridiculous - I am surprised CNN never offered him a contract during their primetime broadcast with that type of journalistic expertise
Firestone seems to laugh at everything Belzer says. He'd still probably laugh if Belzer confessed he was guilty of multiple acts of murder, grand larceny and animal cruelty.
Hes any funny mans best friend on his show. I gotta admit I remember being a kid and watching this show, and I liked Roy and his laugh. He got EVERY big name in sports back then too, even athletes that werent promoting anything.
Hulk should've just layed him down gently at least. Because letting him drop on a hard floor like that wasn't cool. Even their mat in the ring isn't solid. Dude was bleeding ...that's was messed up
Uh, maybe he shouldn't have volunteered to be put to sleep by a MASSIVE FREAKIN' PRO WRESTLER! Back then these idiots just assumed these wrestlers didn't actually know how to wrestle and couldn't/wouldn't do something like this because it's all just one big pretend show! It's pure idiotic Hollywood at it's finest. The real problem is that Belzer got up!
@@JSchaffer214 Hey village idiot!? It is fake! A moronic, malicious "hulk" assaulting a skinny guy and allowing his head to drop like that is not proof that WWF is real?!?
1. He asked to be put in a hold. 2. He flailed his arms out like he was joking. 3. He went unconscious almost immediately, which Hogan wouldn’t be expecting. 4. Belzer was almost certainly on coke, which would have contributed to him going out so easily. 5. Belzer is a known liar.
Belzer was being a smartass and doing the whole ‘it’s fake right?’ to Hogan and Mr T all night and Hogan put him in a simple headlock and applied a little bit of pressure to the unsuspecting Belzer who then dropped out cold. Belzer thought he could be egging on Mr T and Hulk Hogan and they won’t do anything but they were protecting the business and showed what happens if you call a wrestler ‘fake’
Exactly. Belzer was shooting off his big mouth saying Hogan was an actor like him and saying wrestling is fake. Then, Belzer insisted Hogan put him into a hold to show the world how he fakes it. Hogan was protecting kayfabe and the business. Belzer got what he deserved and I was totally on Hogan's side and completely understand why Hogan did what he did.
***** Hogan was 6'7" BAREFOOT!! This was before his many back surgeries. With his wrestling boots on or shoes he was a definite 6'8". You must be a jealous angry midget that walks around smelling ass all day long. If that ain't the case, you've got scrambled eggs for brains, kid.
He describes his and Hulk’s first meeting each other as Hulk being cordial and complimentary towards Belzer. Then just makes fun of Hulk and how he talked...what a worm!
That’s Belzer fault on that part, because Belzer asked for the demonstration after Belzer knew that it was dangerous. Belzer asked for the demonstration from Hulk Hogan in which Belzer knew it was dangerous because Hulk Hogan told Belzer it was dangerous. I think that’s how it went but I could be wrong. This is just a theory, I do not know if it’s a fact.
is it cause he's a jew? lol that's enough for a lot of people... but seriously, I know what you're talking about, anybody who looks like they're smiling all the time or about to laugh even when talking about a serious subject really gets under my skin
Hogan applied it very gently so it was a strange incident. And from a suit for $FIVE MILLION "everything worked out fine" cause he SETTLED for only $400,000??! Belzer, by the way, DID finally choose to live OUTSIDE of America . ... in France. Apparently the USA was too rough for him.
You morons have no idea what a sleeper hold is, do you? And you have no idea the damage that can be done when someone falls dead weight onto the ground. Your head can SLAM into the ground VERY hard, and his did and busted wide open. You have literally ZERO muscle control when you fall while you are unconscious, which means it's INCREDIBLY easy to fall and break your neck due to your own body weight falling at full speed.
DeadlyDanDaMan it's wasn't a "sleeper hold". A sleeper hold is done from behind the opponent. That was a full on guillotine choke. Any time your unconscious, you can't defend yourself. "Front chin lock" he called it. Watch the video.
2 things. 1- he was acting like a prick and he asked for it. That and he didnt tap knowing he was gonna ask for it. So yes he got what he deserved. 2- Hogan should of known better then to drop him. Im never gonna be that big but i am 225 and I could deadlift with a belt near 500lbs and bench over 300. Thats not very strong at all compared to strong people and these professional wrestlers. But when goofing off with friends, my kids, my wife there is a certain amount of control and responsibility hogan had when he decided to lock in that darth choke and actually apply it. Hogan literally let him fall to the ground instead of slowly releasing it. Hogan deserved to be sued, the WWF paid it off but people need to be responsible.
Belzer is a punk, can you imagine him talking that way to Mohammed Ali, or Mike Tyson? No he thought wrestling was fake and disrepected his guests, so they would scare him a lil not knowing he was high as a kite and would pass out after 2 seconds.
So the guy asks Hogan to show him a move, he does, its real, and he gets hurt. BUT then he gets upset, sues all he can, and ends up with money, plus the right to still make fun of those he sued... SMH... Lets not forget, the full lead up to him being shown, was he was bad mouthing wrestling and such pissing Hogan AND Mr T off. So Hogan showed a real choke move. Beltzer could have smacked Hogan as a sign it hurt. Who in their mind would have though what he did was a sign it hurt is beyond me.
Choke holds dont hurt, one second you're conscious the next you're out cold. If Hogan was a true professional he would have known this AND he wouldn't have let Belzer drop to the floor. Pure negligence on Hogans' part.
Both parties are clearly responsible for this. Belzer pushed for wrestling moves without realizing the implications and Hogan should've held onto Belzer instead of dropping him. Both were careless, with just minor preparation this wouldn't have happened and at worst, Belzer would've just passed out for half a minute and it would've been passed off as a harmless joke.
I may add, how much was the interviewer paid to constantly laugh at his lame jokes...clearly a setup sadly...and damn this guy was a super pussy to drop after that amount of time even if he was really choked lmao! Pitiful lmfao!!
I remember Jim Cornette talked about this on his podcast and said the reason Munch passed out so fast and collapsed is because he was probably on cocaine LMAO
Belzer sued for 5 million and only walked away with 400K. I’m guessing with him voluntarily taking the choke, that his case wasn’t all that strong. WWF probably settled for what it would cost in legal fees to fight it.
He asked to demonstrate a move... Not make him pass out and let his body drop to the floor there's a big difference between a demonstration and Execution
I think he set those guys up. He was poking and prodding them with demeaning questions and statements and then asking them to put him into a wrestling move. Even after they refused to put him in one, he kept asking, and they kind of reluctantly agreed. I think they were actually playing into his hands. So he passes out, hits his skull on the ground, sued them and then ends up with $5 million. I mean, it couldn’t work out any better for this guy. Period.
Belzer is a scumbag for this incident. Just looking for a payday. $5MM suit and a $250K settlement. Then the dirtball turns around and thanks Hogan for the European property that he & his wife just purchased thanks to the settlement. No respect for him because if this. Definitely set these guys up

Yeah, make that house that fuker belcher would get in the lawsuit worth it.
Agree...
Let's keep in mind, Bezier asked hulk Hogan to show him how wrestling is done.
They don't do real sleeper holds in pro wrestling & let the body fall limp onto a hard floor. When they do it, it's a controlled performance.
"How is boxing done?" and then KOs him. This is idiocy.

So the guy asks Hogan to show him a move, he does, its real, and he gets hurt. BUT then he gets upset, sues all he can, and ends up with money, plus the right to still make fun of those he sued... SMH... Lets not forget, the full lead up to him being shown, was he was bad mouthing wrestling and such pissing Hogan AND Mr T off. So Hogan showed a real choke move. Beltzer could have smacked Hogan as a sign it hurt. Who in their mind would have though what he did was a sign it hurt is beyond me.
Your an idiot
Choke holds dont hurt, one second you're conscious the next you're out cold.
If Hogan was a true professional he would have known this AND he wouldn't have let Belzer drop to the floor.
Pure negligence on Hogans' part.
you litralerally asked a professional wrestler to put u in a lock and what did u think would happen
He thought it was fake and no way a 6'7 350 lbs man could actually hurt him.
How could wormy there have suffered spinal injuries when he was born without one?
RB: Please choke me.
HH: Okay.
RB: Lawsuit time.
Think it's the dropping him that wasn't necessary. Could've killed him.
@@dave9547 It's like my first lover said, "if you want me to hold you afterwards tell me first and that also costs extra."
@@TheReapersgaze ok
Hulk wanted to let him feel it. But def didn't realize he was out. He must have been like ohhh fuckk lol
Who doesn't miss adjusting the tracking on their vcr lmao
6:19 "When you cut off the card-tid artery..."
Dude selling it thick. Hogan didn't toss nobody. Richard went limp and Hulk made no effort to keep him from hitting the floor.
He really "tossed him to the ground"
The guy interviewing Beltzer sure looks like The Rock, 😂😂😂😂
I love how Belzer changed the narrative.
"Tossed him to the ground." He literally just let go of him.
He dropped him ! Just as bad !
Yeah, Hogan felt him go limp and just dropped him. Just what you should do with an unconscious person.
Whether he let him go or gently placed him on the ground, he didn’t toss him to the ground like he stated.
The video of this guy getting choked out is hilarious
Ridiculous. Only in America can you ask someone to perform a dangerous maneuver on you, and then sue when you end up getting hurt.
Why the long face?
Both parties are clearly responsible for this. Belzer pushed for wrestling moves without realizing the implications and Hogan should've held onto Belzer instead of dropping him. Both were careless, with just minor preparation this wouldn't have happened and at worst, Belzer would've just passed out for half a minute and it would've been passed off as a harmless joke.
Hogan should have powerbombed him
@@RAMROD1847Through a table.
Been a long time since i seen a person on tv tell the complete truth how he feels it.
Omg VHS quality....I am having flash backs lol:)
I may add, how much was the interviewer paid to constantly laugh at his lame jokes...clearly a setup sadly...and damn this guy was a super pussy to drop after that amount of time even if he was really choked lmao! Pitiful lmfao!!
“picked up richard then threw him to the ground...”. Did he ...? What part was that
Thats what u get for being disrespectful
6'8, or 6'9" 329 lbs? I watched Rocky 3 so I know the Hulkster was every bit of his listed 6'11.99" 390 lbs brother.
plz dont injure me
"that doesnt work for me brother"
Btw this isn't 1990, it's 1984-85
The interview is from 1990. The incident occurred in 1985.
MisterMoop Gotcha
You should have known that as soon as you saw the Minnesota Timberwolves
It's 90. Hence the reference to T Wolves coach Musselman.
bitch i'm flying straight from the survivor
scrolls
Belzers career went from strength to strength after this
And all the people you sued are legends, and your the sidekick on SVU reruns
I remember Jim Cornette talked about this on his podcast and said the reason Munch passed out so fast and collapsed is because he was probably on cocaine LMAO
'Tossed him to the ground.'
Really Roy?
Belzer sued for 5 million and only walked away with 400K. I’m guessing with him voluntarily taking the choke, that his case wasn’t all that strong.
WWF probably settled for what it would cost in legal fees to fight it.
Cases are delayed on a general principal: Some people die, (of causes unrelated to the case), before the case comes to trial.
I can see why Hogan choked him out
Hogan cracked that guys head open lol! It was rad!!🤣🤘
It’s pathetic of him to sue after asking for it🤷🏽♂️
The guy asked for it and then sued when it didn't go his way. Sounds alot like the youth of today.
He asked to demonstrate a move... Not make him pass out and let his body drop to the floor there's a big difference between a demonstration and Execution
what is that growth on Belzers neck.
Some say it was Harvey Weinstein.
Hulk's face when he saw the bloody collar. You could see him running the settlement numbers and writing the proverbial check in his mind.
🤣🤣🤣
Most of Belzer's spiel here is word for word straight from his stand up nightclub act where he recounts this incident.
He didn't toss anybody to the ground. He asked to be out into a wrestling hold. Sucks for him
I think he set those guys up. He was poking and prodding them with demeaning questions and statements and then asking them to put him into a wrestling move. Even after they refused to put him in one, he kept asking, and they kind of reluctantly agreed. I think they were actually playing into his hands. So he passes out, hits his skull on the ground, sued them and then ends up with $5 million. I mean, it couldn’t work out any better for this guy. Period.
Belzer is a scumbag for this incident. Just looking for a payday. $5MM suit and a $250K settlement. Then the dirtball turns around and thanks Hogan for the European property that he & his wife just purchased thanks to the settlement. No respect for him because if this. Definitely set these guys up
