Fun
Transcript
00:00You're looking great shape.
00:01I'm trying.
00:01I always heard from something like,
00:02it was good to drink beers while working out
00:04because of dehydrating and you're able to get beer muscles.
00:06Is that true?
00:07Well, the truth is, truth be told,
00:10before I wrestled, I always kept a case of beer in the dressing room.
00:14Yeah.
00:14Because the boys never had that treat.
00:16But when I was around, I had that.
00:18A little bit of stroke back then.
00:19Yeah.
00:20I'd keep a case of beer and the boys would hit it before we'd go to the ring.
00:22Made the matches much better.
00:24But that was then and this is now.
00:26But I did drink a beer every once in a while.
00:28You know, before I'd work out.
00:31Just to have fun when the guys would come over.
00:33I didn't do it all the time.
00:35Sure.
00:35But we had one heavy duty day a year.
00:39And that was called the John Matuszak Memorial Workout.
00:43And John Matuszak played for the Oakland Raiders.
00:45He played for the University of Tampa.
00:47He's a very good friend of mine.
00:49And when he passed away, his mom sent all this stuff to me.
00:52His clothes, pictures, everything.
00:54So every year, we'd have the John Matuszak Memorial Workout.
00:58And we'd start training at midnight.
01:01We'd train until the sun came up.
01:02And we'd train every single body part.
01:04And we'd drink beer the whole time, bro.
01:06The only problem was it wasn't real American beer.
01:09But now we've got real American beer.
01:10I'm excited for beer.
01:11What young wrestlers right now do you see that, like, man, you see a lot of potential?
01:15And is there any guys you're a fan of currently?
01:17Well, there's a couple Americans there that Trump loves.
01:20And we've been talking business list.
01:22Oh, wrestlers-wise.
01:23Oh, WWE.
01:23Oh, WWE.
01:24Yeah, okay.
01:25Is there any wrestlers that-
01:27Oh, there's so many.
01:28Yeah, who's, like, the talent that you're like, man, I see a little-
01:30I mean, obviously, a lot of these wrestlers got something from you.
01:33But who do you want, like, is, like, you see that has that Hulk potential, that rock potential,
01:37that Stone Cold, that next superstar potential?
01:40When you're talking WWE-wise, what you're hitting on now is an attraction.
01:44You're not talking about a superstar.
01:45Because superstars, there's many, many of them.
01:47Yeah.
01:47And sometimes they'll get hurt, and they'll bring another superstar in.
01:50The attractions are what the WWE's looking for.
01:54And they have a good-
01:55They've got a good eye for finding somebody that has the it factor.
01:58You know, they've got Seth Rollins lined up.
02:01They've got Logan Paul lined up, who's fresh off the block.
02:04Sure, it's good.
02:05I mean, they've got a lot of good-
02:06You know, Roman Reigns is really, really hot.
02:09I could go on on Cody Rhodes.
02:11It's like you go on and on and on, but it's going to be the survival of the quickest draw.
02:16Because once you get on that level, everybody's gunning for you.
02:19I don't care what the storyline is.
02:20You've got to make your own breaks when you get to that level.
02:23You've got to outthink the office.
02:24You've got to outthink the business.
02:25You've got to outthink the company.
02:27And once you get on that level, you've got to make your own breaks.
02:30Two last things.
02:31Where do you keep all the-
02:33I used to have tons of Hulk merchandise.
02:34The buddies and-
02:35Yeah.
02:35Where do you-
02:36Do you have a room that you just have all the Hulk merchandise at?
02:38Well, when I live in Clearwater Florida,
02:41we have a retail store.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Hulk Hogan's Wrestling Shop.
02:44I've got a bar there called Hulk Hogan's Hangout also.
02:47And we have storage places around Clearwater Beach with all my stuff.
02:52Pinball machines, wrestling buddies, yellow boots with Andre the Giant's blood on them.
02:57The real blood from Andre.
02:58So if we ever wanted to clone the Giant, I got the blood, brother.
03:02So I mean, there's all kinds of stuff.
