Hulk Hogan and The Wrestling Boot Band REVIEW - Worst Album Ever Made?

Terry Bollea other wise known as Hulk Hogan has had a very interesting life all thanks in part to the world of professional wrestling. He's been a spokesman, he's been an actor, he's been a cartoon, and now we're going to tackle when Hulk was a musician. Get ready to take your Vitamins and say your prayers cause we are diving deep into this curious 1995 release.
By the way I do not condone the language used by Terry Bollea in his 2016 leaked conversation. This channel is a place for all and I do not support Terry's awful words towards the Black Community. His Conversation for context: • Hulk Hogan Racist Audi...

This show is awesome. Some of these albums I have never heard before, and watching these videos I feel like I am not alone and I am experiencing the album through the clips of the video. Your commentary and descriptions are what I want from reviews, literally explaining why it's good or bad. So much enthusiasm, and eagerness for the worst albums ever made is impressive.

[@nothingislogical]

A note about "Hulkster in Heaven": I decided to do a quick search about that fact that he dedicated this album to a fan who passed away and gave away all of the proceeds. Hogan claimed that he wrote the song for a fan that was supposed to see him at Summerslam 1992 in Wembley stadium who allegedly passed away hours before the match. The problem is that he didn't wrestle on Summerslam 1992 (he was off of TV at the time because of his involvement with the WWE steroid case) and no one can seem to track down anything backing up what Hulk is saying as true. To be fair, this is the same man who claims he auditioned to play bass for Metallica after Cliff Burton was killed, to which Lars Ulrich responded in an interview with stating he had never even met Hulk Hogan, let alone had him audition for Metallica. That whole story might be another one of Terry's tall tales that he spins to get attention.

This makes me think that I would love to hear your thoughts on William Shatner's debut album The Transformed Man. Its features on many worst album lists, and does have some bad moments, but probably has been judged unfairly by others.

[@pickled_pigface5189]

So glad to see a new video! This show rules. If you haven't heard it, Macho Man Randy Savage also has an album. Like 15 years ago, I found a whole case of them (about 30, if I remember correctly) at a 99 Cent Only Store. So, naturally I bought the entire case and gave them to my friends for Christmas. The rest, I gift wrapped and left in random places (on the bus, wal-mart bathroom, on top of a crosswalk button box thing, etc) for strangers to find.

[@opaljk4835]

I keep seeing this channel covering fantastic albums. Maybe not this one Either that or my taste is absolute shit. But boy do I ever love Wild Man Fischer. That album is both a document and a great bunch of songs (at least the ones he sings himself and Circle/Taster.

[@mrsticker2]

Oh, the joy I felt when I saw Hulk Hogan and The Wrestling Boot Band show up on your channel for review. "Hulkster In Heaven" is one my favorite cheese fondues. Just recently I was singing it to my wife. Fortunately she's a good sport and didn't leave me. Hearing this album reminds me of another potential worst album for review - Village People Renaissance. Released in 1981. Disco was dead and they were attempting to fit in as a new wave band. What could go wrong?

[@GuacBloc]

Hi new fan of yours here, to clarify hulkster in heaven is a made up story by hogan. Hogan was not in the 1992 summerslam, nor did he even wrestle in Wembley until 1994 with WCW. Also the proceeds thing is also a lie, UK citizens do not have to pay for healthcare. It's really interesting the delusional fantasy hulk lives in but he is a frequent pathological liar. anyways amazing review I love your style man!

[@wolfetteplays8894]

UK citizens still have to pay for healthcare for specialists and cosmetic surgeries not covered by the NHS

[@GuacBloc]

@@wolfetteplays8894 true, but the facts of his whereabouts in his song is at best extremely fabricated. He also ended up just making up that it was for james bulger's family and that all the proceeds actually went to them. Even if healthcare isn't always free especially for the circumstance the alleged child was in, its safe to say hulk lied

[@banjogyro]

Noise music would be an easy way out, and not exactly correct. On this album, I feel neutral so far, I wonder what would you think. I want to request: Jandek - Ready For The House. It's a very, weird and a unique album, opinions of people are split on this album.

[@CactusMalpractice]

Your not the only one who has suggested that album so the likely hood of me cover ing is very high! I have two albums I have already ordered on the way so it will be a good bit before I cover it. Thank you for the kind words and the suggestion!

[@MattJH]

Thank you for reviewing this pop culture fart. A few other people have commented about how the whole story behind the boy in "Hulkster In Heaven" was made up. Some additional info: in early interviews, Hogan claimed that the song was actually about the vicious torture and murder of two year old James Bulger in Liverpool. See page 69 of Billboard magazine dated June 3 1995 for an example. The entire album is a carny gimmick, bless us all.

[@henrygvidonas9573]

Man, whenever I want to give Terry Bollea some mitigating slack, like saying "well, at least he didn't exploit a real child's death for that soppy slimy 'Hulkster In Heaven' thing, it was all made up", I find out that he just did it in a slightly different but even worse way... He tried to make money off James Bulger's horrific murder, of all things? Seriously, Hulk Hogan can drown in a ditch full of cowshit, as far as I'm concerned. There's a difference between being a somewhat charming carny and just flat-out being a disgusting, worthless, completely amoral POS. I used to think Hogan was the former for a long time. but the more I learned about the man behind the gimmick over the years, the more I came to realise he's the latter.

[@TheKyubiisaan]

A friend of mine saw him free styling in San Diego. I don’t know what you’re gonna do with that image but it makes me chuckle. Dude was almost certainly hammered

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

"Jabroni" is backstage slang for "jobber" i.e. a person who LOSES in order to make other wrestlers look good. Hulk Hogan is many things, but a "jabroni" is definitely _NOT_ one of them, given his infamous backstage politicking...

Man, im so glad I discovered this channel. Not sure if you take comment requests or not but you should definitely consider reviewing "not available" by the residents. Beautifully eerie album!

[@banjogyro]

I second this! Another residents album would be awesome on this show.

[@incognidoqueen]

If we are revisiting artists already featured, then we should look at the Beefheart album that even Beefheart fans almost universally hate and caused the entire band to quit: Unconditionally Guaranteed.

[@snavs420]

The Wrestlemania album is also pretty fucking bad. Jim Johnston (the main WWF theme writer) on the other hand has made some absolute legitimate banger theme songs. He's a low key synthwave godfather. Both Jake the Snake themes are great examples.

[@CactusMalpractice]

Oh yeah Jim is an idol. He better get into the wwe hall of fame or else someone WILL catch these hands

[@jamesoblivion]

There is every indication that Hogan lied about Hulkster in Heaven, and there was no dead child, and no money was given to charity. So, yeah...the album really is ten times worse. Maybe twenty times, when you factor in the whole 'inventing a fictional terminally child to promote your record' thing.

[@fullauto86]

This channel should be so much more known. Please never stop this series, its a true gem that demonstrates why self made content is better than tv could ever be.

[@elc1960]

One final comment: The reason that "Real American" is the better Hogan theme is who wrote and sang it: Rick Derringer. He also produced the album it came from. And he still performs the song in his concert appearances. Jimmy Hart, on the other hand...was lead singer of the Memphis teen pop band The Gentrys, who had a #1 hit in 1965 with "Keep On Dancing." Unfortunately, that was pretty much the extent of his "rock star" period, even though they did have one other Top 40 hit.

[@superleekegshoondinovevo6998]

Another great video Garrett, I think I missed this one in my notifications originally so that's why I'm a bit late to it. Also I have a recommendation, it's the album "Toy World" by the band Cardiacs. Most of the uploads I've found have really bad quality but this one has the best that I've found if you want to give it a listen: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYXCnHSZa66Dlbs It's not a bad album really but it's very strange and really crudely recorded a bit similarly to the Residents one you reviewed last year. Actually it's like if The Residents were an English punk band that could afford a drumset but not decent recording equipment. If not that then I would also recommend "You Think You Really Know Me" by Gary Wilson. This one's more popular so I'm sure others have talked about it. The instrumentals on this are honestly great but the vocals and lyrics are really weird. But I kind of think the lyrics are satirical at times, almost like Gary is playing a character or something.

[@stevehardman4686]

Everyone is talking about what album to do next, I say go in a slightly different direction....my vote for the worst musical film of all time(as much as I love it), is 200 Motels, a Frank Zappa project that absolutely defies description :)
