Lansberg is the best wrestling interviewer on earth. Hands down. He always challenges Wrestlers and has really great conversations about the business that sometimes they never expect. They always seem to have a great time talking to him, and he shows his respect for the business, unlike other media figures.
Hulk hogan is so clued up in this interview. There is a difference between being a good wrestler, and a entertainer.
Being a good wrestler is being a good entertainer.
@@Jamie-kv9eg column a, column b. there were some great wrestlers that lacked charisma, yet there were not so good wrestlers that oozed charisma. e.g., bob backlund was very skilled, but lacked charisma, yet the ultimate warrior oozed charisma, yet lacked skill & stamina.
I thought Ric Flair was State wrestling champion when he was in high school
Entertainers make money and sell merch, Wrestlers make broken bones and sell Canadian destroyers.
You guys seen Hogan wrestle in Japan?
I like how Hulk said "in my personal opinion Ric Flair is the greatest ever but in the record books it will say Hulk Hogan" so true
it is true. Ric Flair will always be in Hogan's shadow.
Puresox333 I think it's fair to say that Hogan could cut a promo.
Ric was the greatest ever and Hulk was the biggest star
I miss the Hogan of the 80s, he looked so much better and his charisma was alot better, I know he was sky high on steroids but he was the best back then, he's lost alot now and just looks like an old man, he's just a shell of what he was, just my opinion.
Donny Mckinnon we all get old man
As usual, you can't have a Hulk Hogan interview without lots of BS. But he was right about making Lesnar look like a million bucks. He deserves to be given credit for that.
You took the thunder out of my lips brother😂
And one more thing Bolea is right about, if one is over then you should not just push him/her aside and replace him. See Roman and Daniel Bryan
Hogan is very talented and has creative talent. Hogan reaching the top is no accident. He understands the business.
No matter how much Hulk thinks of himself. Steve Austin, The Rock, Undertaker, HHH and Mick Foley will always be remembered as the ones who took down Hogan and the rest of WCW Monday Nyquil.
Huh? Hogan is the one that put WWE where it is today. Apparently you didn’t grow up in the 80’s. Maybe you’re just a Mook.
u can tell Hogan is lying about the scenarios with brock. he just didn't want to job to brock, again LOL
stndrds79 i think even of lost every match you still gana trash him .
@@Aizenborgman it's not trashing dude, Hogan is well known for not putting wrestlers over. He refused to put over Ultimate Warrior, he refused to put over brock and he refused to put over Shawn Michael's, just to name a few.
Then Hogan buried Orton at Summerslam 2006
Yup it is weird how he says people wanted him to win
Fuck that pin me pay me
this is sooo gewd and sooo juicey. thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting it. this answered alot of questions for me that i had been thinking about for so long
Can never disrespect Hogan, it's like dissing your own father.
MAD RESPECT AND LOVE!
Where is Hogan wrong here? He foresees the ditching of attitudinal wrestling for more family acceptable content. He makes the exact same point about being jobbed to Brock at the right time as Austin did- only he actually still did the job (I don't see any of you complaining or acknowledging that Austin sat out for a year rather than do a job). He is also exactly right about his ability to have had a last run. He was as over in 02' as anyone I'd seen in that company in years.
People say Hogan is selfish but no one understands and kinked the wrestling business aswell as he does. Hogan was right in speaking up for what he believed in, not for himself but for the future of pro wrestling.
There are some people that shit on certin wrestlers (Hogan, Triple H, Nash, Cena) because its the thing to do. It would be one thing if i heard different reasons from different people on why they hated a wrestler but its like someone online says something about Hulk then all the online smarks repeat the samething over and over again.
thanks for the upload been looking for this OTR forever
Hogan has a point. Look at that Hollywood Hogan vs The Rock match at Wrestlemania, the crowd clearly was for Hogan at some point. And there was hope that Hogan would pull the upset. The crowd still has a thing for Hulkamania. As a promoter I would've tested Hogan's theory to see where it could've went.
At some point. ha ha. the whole match. the air came out of the building when the rock kicked out of the leg drop. everyone turns it off upon rewatch at the kick out.
I mean... they put the belt on him a few weeks later. Clearly derailing a run that they had mapped out for Triple H.
What more would you have liked to see them do?
@@jamesmiller5331 it was a bullshit victory at backlash. then they squashed him after that. stop.
@@hw5091 that’s what he gets for squashing talent for years
@@AD-ur1fk Don't be an internet nerd. If somebody could've taken hogan's spot, they would've. simple as that. I remember when Austin was whining and walking out when he going limp after only a few years on top, somebody was taking his spot. Happens to everybody.
awesome Interview
3:20 every teachers response when you think you have listened in class and she ask you a question.
thx you for uploading this
He said here he had no idea Hulkamania was so alive and well, but in his interview on "The Voice", he said he knew the crowd was going to react that way.
Hogan makes sense and quite frankly, he is a hell of a worker. And when other wrestlers even admit that he is a worker, then what's the problem? He didn't have the greatest 'technical' matches, but he damn sure knew how to draw the audience into his matches. GOAT
the ultimate warriors must have 25 google accounts.
The Rock and Eddie were great wrestlers and Kurt is a great entertainer
Hogan is awesome, never has been my favorite and I know he has made many mistakes. I just like his attitude, and how he deals with jealousy.
Flair built WCW & Hogan built WWE, that's pretty much tied to me ^^
Hulk Hogan vs Ric Flair should have been a Wrestlemania Main Event.
How can Hogan not name The Rock as one of the most entertaining wrestler in WWE history?
I actually agree with what Terry's saying here about Brock, I lost interest around that time they were pushing Brock because I felt he didn't pay his dues.
Yeah he really didn’t then he took off after a year because he didn’t like the travel lol never understood the hype of him
Naaah what it is is Hogan didn't want anyone to do better than he did, who did he ever feel totally fine with taking his spot???? Nobody he's like a spoilt big baby, my toys 👶you can't play with them
I like how he says that it just wasn't the right situation to drop the belt. The only time hogan would've ever dropped the belt would be if it was to a guy who was leaving the company 3 weeks later. Hogan knows how the business works, and he's done a great job for himself throwing up diversions and not disappearing from the business. (15 years later, he's washed up now, but he had a good long run, and the original fans will always think of hulk as the biggest name ever).
His appeal was that he was a 6'7 300 pounder who ate his vitamins (and roids), said his prayers, and hulked up with no effort and he did that for 10 straight years not letting anyone take his spot until the people around him got sick of it and they headed to the "New Generation" of wrestlers who actually gave all they had to entertain the fans like Shawn Michaels, Razor Ramon, 1-2-3 Kid, Undertaker, and the Hart bros.
As the years have gone by this generation has gained a lot more respect.
mothercanuckers thank u for the comment hulk hogan good guy on tv but in real life a bad guy per the Shawn Michaels summer slam 2005 promo
Eddie Guerrero was an excellent wrestler AND entertainer!
Thats a good shout. But Hogan is right many great technical wrestlers were/are not great entertainers- bret hart, chris benoit, dean malenko, owen hart etc. Even in Eddie's case he became entertaining later on in his career rather than in the beginning
@@zsivaz How were any of those guys great amateur wrestlers? They were good at working and trading holds, but in terms of amateur wrestlers, none of them were to my knowledge. Angle, Lesnar, Gable, and maybe the Steiners are the only highly entertaining wrestlers I can think of off the top of my head that were good amateur wrestlers.
What a hero the Hulkster is
what an asshole Hogan is... just listen
he is an icon, legend, HoFer and all of that, but he is a selfish asshole... more than HBK on his baddest day
he was 49 here? looks like in his early 60s. Hogan and Flair really always looked older than they were.
I remembered about it like halfway through the show hopefully somebody else uploads it because I would like to watch the first half.
Thanx its actually the reason I decided to get it and upload it.
'Not at all. Not at all. You're totally missing the point' = OWNED
Thanks bro
I gotta say you shouldn't judge wrestler' greatness solely on their wrestling ability but which wrestlers brought you in to the story they were telling and how they got you to cheer for them I think the overall theatrical aspect of wrestling is what is missed in today's wrestling and that is why not many people like it.
god right here......i grew up with this guy and hes still goin strong
Any negativity comes from people that are jealous, we all wish we had the kind of control over are work that Hogan does
Hogan is right to mention 9/11 because it has definitely lead indirectly to a more conservative society.
Same here I think that was a classy move on the Hulks part.
Lol he called it 9-1-1
Hogan will goes down as the biggest name in wrestling history - it dosent matter what mark says.
He's the biggest star in proffessional wrestling history - no one is second, no one is close. That man was the bloodline for 2 companys and maineventing for 20 years + .
Taking the high road means “going over”. 😆
Doesn't work for me brother
And he did it his own way, he took the high road on his way out of the wwe after being jobbed out in 2002/3.
3 biggest stars of the wrestling business
1) Hogan
2) Austin
3) Rock
I'd have Austin at 1, and then Hogan; Austin was as over (more over really) and he was a fantastic worker!
Matthew Perry He was also really hard to deal with tho. He wasn’t that great to work with.
I go Hogan Austin flair
4) Cena
Loyal to the company my ass
I love Hulk Hogan!
good
@Moggesa When I was ten, I went to a WCW show. I was a big WWF fan, but Hulk made me like WCW. He signed a t-shirt for me, patted me on the head and called me "brother". I was ten. To this day it was one of the most exciting things that has ever happened to me. Hulk Hogan was my hero. But he's different now, and not for the better. I don't care if you say I was never a fan; that's just not the truth.
hogan is necessary for the casual fanbase and perception, but to loyal wrestling fans he's not the draw
Bret was a true wrestler.Wrestling was in his blood and he was all about respect and dedication.I feel that when HBK got his spotlight bret just couldnt relate to a cocky kid who at that time was a mess abusing painkillers and Bret was a man of respect
1:02, lmao listen to him co-sign for hogan " I HEAR YOU BROTHER "
Stone Cold was a great wrestler, but was very limited for much of his time as a main eventer, he was never the same (in the ring) after Owen Hart broke his neck. Ric Flair was just so good for so long, thats why I say he is the greatest. Undertaker isnt much of a technical wrestler, but he is an amazing performer. Austin, Flair, and Taker are all legends.
That promo was hilarious.
Yeah, the fans loved Hulk Hogan so much in 2002 that ratings fell during his one-month world champion reign in April-May 2002.
my favorite part in the hole interview 08:42
It doesn't matter what you think of Hulk Hogan; he is and always will be the #1 guy; even though he only had 4 or 5 moves.. if you think about that; its just absolutely amazing and any owner would be IGNORANT not to give this man what he wants; he obviously draws money to this very day.... there won't ever be anyone like him; the only one to come close is Stone Cold..
But stone cold wouldve never, ever happened without hulk hogan; even stone cold himself admits that..
Absolutely you are 100 percent right all of these people who are able to make money now bigger money and make movies it's because of what Hulk Hogan did he made it the mega business that it became beforethat it was just the territory business
jmanexpress The Rock Don Muraco is the original rock let's remember that
Michael Salter I'd bet more people know who Hulk Hogan is, even despite the merch records being broken. Internet versus magazine age.
Michael Salter hogan is way more popular than stone cold on a global scale.
You can't compare success and use profit as explanation, when it comes to Hogan's late 80s and Austin's peak. Society changed.
Thunder in Paradise bandana.....awesome
right on!
Hogan is GOD. Without him wrestling wouldn't be mainstream and the fans wouldn't watch the product.
Wrestlers, promoters earning money today because of what Hogan did when he made WWE to a global phenonema.
he looked good for his age back then
Till he takes the du rag off
I think he looks amazing now his in his 70s
Miss Beauitful he is 65
You get to a certain point and it hits you all at once. Vince looked great until his mid 60s and now he looks old as fuck. Can't fight it forever.
The Keg Steakhoose and Bar.
Love u hogan...from India 🇮🇳
Regarding the Ultimate Warrior...Hulk Hogan didn't leave the company after WM6...he was there full time for most of the year, except for 2 months where he left to film Suburban Commando.
Hulkamania never died, he just lost to the Warrior....
He admits to Ric Flair being the greatest. About time.
In the Rise and Fall of WCW dvd, Jericho clearly states that it was his IDEA to jump to WWE....
Hogan was a talent in WWE. That’s it. People in other organisations might have made him feel like he was more than that because of the star power he had, but he was never a wrestling mastermind or genius booker. He is the biggest star ever in the business, but as a performer. Makes out like he runs the in and outs of what goes on. My hero as a kid, but get a grip Hogan.
lendsberg is a fantastic interviewer. a lot of balls
Hogan's right. His idea for an evolution would have made the process smoother and would have created a lot less resentment on both ends of the argument.
I agree that The Ultimate Warrior was not the guy for him to drop the belt to....He should have done the job for Randy Savage.
The Macho Man had all of the stuff needed to be the man back in those days. He did get the belt twice, but his first reign was in Hulk's shadow as part of the Mega Powers and the second reign was during the time when the old WWF was trying to develop it's post-Hogan identity,
News flash to Hogan haters. Hulk is a businessman who understands the difference between midcard and top billing is the difference between the Motel 6 and the Hilton. $500.00/match < $10,000/match. Hulk did nothing more than Flair, Hall, Nash, Austin, Hart, Michaels, Rock, and Triple H did to keep their top spots. They all politicked. They held others down. They refused to job at times. They made others look bad at times. They knew you get one shot at the top.
full creative control.. and a guy with that much charisma.. he's always going to want to the star... therefore.. he'll never want to put over anyone else.. he's always going to find a way to say, "that guy isn't ready, let's re-invent and re-establish me instead"...
B******t.
Ronaldo-Jose Carlos Choquette De Fraga He has a point, this is exactly what Hogan did with Lesnar. People at this time didn't want to see him in matches, they just wanted to see him beat people up. He should've put Lesnar over and stepped into a personality role within the business, wrestling once or twice a year.
To be fair, he rose to the challenge for twenty years.
hogans right when rock and austin left wwe said now you have to cheer for john cena
If Hulk Hogan had any creative process in WWE itd look like what TNA looks like now.
Ahhh Hogan said WRESTLING still works!!! but sadly WWE dosent see that yet
What hogan was talking about is that build up like when lesnar beat undertaker at mania. People were shocked and it took Brock to the next level. Then again even with reigns beating taker it still meant something
you're welcome, bro
Wow. Just wow. He doesnt wanna lose. He dont give ppl credit yet Im still a fan. He's like Michael Jordan just full of himself but like they say they're the greatest in their field.
look at hogan showing off his muscles
Yea I agree. Overall Hogan is the bigger star. Austin might have had a hotter 2 or 3 year run but in the overall scheme of things (looking at Hogan's career from the 80-2ks) Hogan is by far the biggest star in wrestling history.
boxing had ali, the music had elvis, and wrestling had hogan... like it or not
Oh.. And BTW... Hogan has said himself that the greatest Professional Wrestler in his opinion is Flair. But knows it will go down in history that it is him (Hogan).
i love the part 5:05 when hulk says like the jerichos coming up ya know well jerichos doing good
Thats because Ric spent a vast majority of his career away from WWF. He was a big name in the wrestling business before wrestlemania even existed. a 7 time WCW champion, 6 PWI best matches of the year. The list of Flairs accomplishments is about 15 miles longer than Hogan's. Not to mention the long list of "Worst Matches" "Most Overrated" and "Worst Feud" 'awards' given to Hogan.
Hogan is the biggest star in prffessional wrestling history.
That's a fact. That man is techincal the father of wrestling.
Without him it would never be a wrestlemania and most Cena-fan boys today wouldnt even watch wrestling.
I love how he says he doesnt mind jobing yet then complains about having to job
Damn this guy looks 70 years old back in the old days.
49 years old here ?! He looks much younger.
"Not at all. Not at all. Your completely missing the point" lmao!!!
Hogan just didn't want to lose
Chris Masters exactly
Hogan owns Landsberg here.
Plan A - that doesn't work for me
Plan B - that doesn't work for me
Plan C - that doesn't work for me.
Push the old guy hulk hogan and take the high road.
Keg stakehouse and bar brought me here
I like how ultimate warrior destroyed Terry in one of his last rants….
Couldn't Agree more although he did say that Ric Flair wasn't a great 'amateur' wrestler which to be fair he wasn't. Flair made a career of making other people look good which in Professional Wrestling terms is more important!
He's basically telling Vince I don't want to job and I want go over till I need time off. XD
Which he did, and the people loved.😀
the bottom line is bollea never wants his character to lose
Hulks psychology is absolutely on the money in terms of doing things right business wise regardless whether people think its his ego talking. 100% Correct, theyres no point booking lesnar to beat hogan repeatedly, when hogan can be presented strongly in lead up to their feud then do the job, he's right that would mean something. Thats called pschology for all the marks who dont understand pro wrestling other than what they see in the ring.
even if hogan was just on the mic and never wrestling. It would entertain me.... BROTHER
He said "Hulgan". 😂
"as well known" does not mean they aren't well known. There's no professional wrestler more well known than Hulk Hogan. For example, my dad doesn't watch wrestling yet knows who Hulk Hogan is but has no clue who Ric Flair or Undertaker are. You would only know who Ric Flair and the Undertaker are from watching pro wrestling.
Alot of wrestlers discredit anything Hulk Hogan says when it comes to shoots or stories(they maybe right)however, i like the way Hulk explains himself, he does it well!! Whether he's being honest or not lol, you gotta place emphasis on the way he's able to do that with why alot of those wrestlers called the ultimate backstage "politician"!!!!
HULK VS FLAIR SUCH GREAT FEUD IN WCW IN 90S !!!!!
Watch Wrestling with Shadows. He signed because Vince wanted out of his deal. The deal that Bret signed for less than WCW was offering but he signed it to stay with the WWF.
