HULK HOGAN GETS FIRED | Hogan Calls Into The Bubba The Love Sponge® Show To Talk About Getting Fired

[@alfredoramos1450]

I forced myself to watch this video, just to help Colton keep his job

[@emmanuelgarcia619]

“You know what brother?? Scriz-ew these biz-astards!” 😂😂

[@MrOuija-rr8kq]

Bubba loves gassing him up. No wonder they were good friends. Hulk must’ve loved every second of it.

[@manifestgtr]

I come from this as a person COMPLETELY on the outside, having no direct knowledge of any situation, really…but I get the impression that Bubba was a friend of convenience for Hogan. He constantly pole jokey’d and pickle buffed so what’s not to like? Dude even let him bang his wife…I mean come on. You don’t sue your friends for millions of dollars and your friends don’t creepily keep copies of your cuckoldy sex tapes lying around

[@happynomadic1581]

Back when Bubba and Hogan were friends

[@aarontuplin]

Calta too

[@adamirishconundrum851]

Hogan has no friends. Only conditional friends that benefit him. He isn't capable of loving anyone complete sociopath

[@Trendleader863]

Man this is pure gold. Good ol late 90s. Best era to grow up in

[@Daveyboy4]

Hulk hogan doing a randy savage impression.... That's class

[@Matt-cr4vv]

Even he was fired it didn’t make a money difference for WCW. He had a guaranteed Turner deal and he still got paid out on it.

5:47 Lost my shit 😂 Hogan really has been saying this forever

[@gabrielguzman6018]

This wasn't the bash at the beach incident

[@justinbradford4572]

Fundraising for Colton need 1000 plus views for his video’s. Save Colton’s job and give him views

[@jamie.777]

There is a lot of hidden Hogan "gold" on these old bubba Sirius interviews with the hulkster

[@jimdebow2552]

I don’t think this is Sirius radio. WCW was fully finished before Bubba got to Sirius. There’s no bad language here so it’s regular radio

[@adampayne1997]

He was riding the hulksters Johnson pretty hard.. hulk had to tell him slow down there was to much friction lol

[@jasonluckydog17]

Now thats a thumbnail!

[@jvharbin8337]

Hogan talking like Snoop Dogg is comedy gold!

[@pandavelli8176]

Old carny talk, used to be commonplace in wrestling, apparently

[@Matt-cr4vv]

For a long term on and off wrestling fan who has listened to podcasts this interview is actually kinda gold. We always hear all these stories about Hogan saying “that doesn’t work for me brother” and having creative control. So hearing him actually say “that doesn’t work for this brother” is hilarious. And him acknowledging his creative control and how he could use it if he wanted to. And in the end what actually happened goes against the Hogan narrative. He showed up to Halloween Havoc, laid down for a three count for Sting. He then did what Russo asked and stayed off TV for awhile. And in the PPVs after he returned in 2000 he was in some matches he probably didn’t want to be in. The two PPVs prior to Bash at the Beach he was on he faced Billy Kidman, who was obviously nowhere close to the level he was at. If he was such a nefarious guy I don’t think he’d have agreed to those matches. Even though he won them he didn’t gain anything from that. You don’t really hear any confirmed times he used the creative control thing until the Bash where he used it there and Russo ignored it. And then we never saw him in WCW again.

[@PhilMiCoochie]

If you listen to the interview he said that he doesn't mind doing the job as long as the story is good for it. I'm sure he also didn't mind putting the younger talent over as long as they could hang with the Hulkster

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

Starrcade 1997, getting the belt back with the fingerpoke of doom angle.

[@bb-gc2tx]

@@fizzyfuzz5878 hogan earned every perk he got in his contracts

[@tonynorris1506]

Never realized they were friends going this far back.

[@AlexThorn]

Hogan mentioning that creative control....

[@timothyfrantz9443]

I wonder why he didn’t mention the names Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara. He just said “A couple guys that came down from New York that used to work for Vince (McMahon).

[@SeamHead33]

Because this is the year 2000 and 90% of wrestling fans didn't know who they were, and 99.9999% of people listening to Bubba's show didn't know who they were

[@stevenweathers2989]

The 90% number is high in my opinion. I was 16 when they left wwf for WCW, and I was aware who they were. Not going to pretend I know how many other fans knew too, but if a teenager from Salem, Oregon was in the loop, I’d have to guess anyone that wanted to be could’ve. That said, I agree that nobody outside the bubble had a chance in heck of knowing who they were. This is almost cringe worthy to listen to, knowing it’s a work and how the match/story went. Ol’ Hulkster, never met an opportunity he won’t exploit…

[@stevenweathers2989]

Yet he mentioned some executives that nobody outside the loop would know either. Come to think about it, the reason he didn’t say their names coulda been his way of disrespecting them, or weren’t they still the “Powers that be” or whatever? Meaning they hadn’t been on camera…just Russos’ voice (and fingerprints, all over the slowly sinking show).

[@Matt-cr4vv]

I almost wonder if he didn’t mention their names because he didn’t want to give them the exposure. The executives being named can make sense as they’re Turner people. But I can see him not naming Russo and Ferrara because mentioning them would’ve been big exposure for them. And he didn’t want to give that to them. It could also just have been disrespect that they weren’t important enough to him to mention by name. Who knows.

[@WOOOPdoctorFROGhere]

hogan says he has creative control so I never understood why he went in and lay down for sting. this wasn't the finish he wanted, it damages his brand and it confuses the audience into thinking he's the problem as nobody knew at the time that Russo was being an ass. Surely hulks creative control would allow him to simply sit in the back until an agreement was made on a finish he is satisfied with

[@larryk1978]

What year is this from??2000????

[@TombstoneChris]

Yeah. Has to be. Maybe 1999.

[@ransom6892]

Vince Russo and Ed Ferrara joined WCW in October 1999

[@AlexThorn]

99

[@watersandblue6001]

Hogan left in 2000 so it has to be around that time. which is crazy because the quality sounds too great

[@hereticlife2546]

It’s 100% for sure from 99

[@tracymatthews733]

This views for you Colton buddy!!

[@popacap]

Can someone tell me what happened between sting and hulk? Why would sting be mad?

[@bullock4211]

Hogan ended up doing the match and put Sting over

[@pandavelli8176]

Sting should’ve been mad after Starrcade ‘97.

@@josephgana5746 If Rocky three was a flop, they probably would not have rehired him

It wasn't Vince , it was his dad and it was 1979
