Hulk Hogan on Jay Leno

Hulk Hogan on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, to promote Bash at the Beach 1994 (i think)
PRETTY SURE Netflix used my VHS footage here in their documentary "Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press"

[@pdbland1]

Hogan is the only guy in history who could pull off wearing spandex with cowboy boots.

[@ihatevoyager]

hulk was In great shape here

[@foleynj86]

He was off steroids. I thought he looked much better myself.

[@dvon1097]

Its so weird that hogan looked younger in 1993-1996 then he did in 1984-1988.

[@MrJay197409]

Less drugs

[@BrokeNerfing]

Because in the early 90's he got off the steroids after the scandal in WWF

[@alexroyster182]

In the 80s he was Geetered to the gills with Cocaine and Roids. Right here he's off of both. Hogan was in the ionosphere in the late 80s with Randy Savage.

[@maxmarc1000]

It's because he lost a lot of weight here

[@mattb6369]

Less of a grueling work schedule helped too.

[@michaelcollins2367]

Who would have believed it at this point if someone told you in just 4 years these two would be wrestling each other in the ring?

[@catmando4448]

Such a good-natured, easy to get along with, not easily offended fella! And such a great performer wherever he went! I think he cared mostly what kids thought of him and kept his image that of someone they could all look up to. He wasn't going to let Jay bring him down in this interview and kept his persona friendly and likable. He was and always will be wrestlings Golden Child! Long live the Hulkster!

[@hectorlopez1069]

Hogan with his red and yellow gear. I like that.

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

Believe it or not, I actually thought Hogan looked younger here in 1994 than he did at the height of Hulkamania in 1990/91! ;*(

[@Jeflexful]

Yeah, right there with u bro. I thought so too. In fact I actually started realizing this when the hulkster made his debut in WCW

[@STEJTHEGREATEST]

JMastFlex ToyWorld Thanks!!!1 ;*D Especially when he first became "dark Hogan" to play the mind game with Sting in 1995, wearing black and shaving off his moustache!!!! ;*O

[@DarthHater100]

STEJTHEGREATEST he looks younger to you because this is during the years that he was off of steroids. In his book he talks about how when he got off the juice in the early 90s, he lost a lot of weight and looked like a popped balloon, with his face and body getting really slender looking because he got off steroids cold turkey. Eventually towards his WWE return in the 2000s, he started to get his old look back, with more of the swollen hulk look with the thick neck and pudgy face. Also, I wouldn't say 1990/1991 was the height of Hulkamania, I mean he dropped the belt and passed the torch to Warrior in 1990. 1987/88 was the peak, and when he was in his prime. He was the full time champion selling out 80,000 seat arenas, enjoying a 4-year winning streak, in top physical shape, not yet relegated to his later part-time attraction status, and as over with the fans as he would ever be.

[@ChrisM07]

Lack of juice will do that.

[@14DaveHunter]

The guy sitting next Hogan is Franklin Ajaye. He played Neil Diamond's best friend, in "The Jazz Singer".

[@boringbill88]

Love him or hate him, but Hogan was a master here

[@BrokeNerfing]

"I'm gonna get him in there and show him" 4 years later Leno and Hogan have a program together 😂

Yeah and in those 4 years it looked like Leno had aged 20. He looks good here, in 98 he looked like a fat old guy.

Hogan was actually 41 years old in this video. He had considered retiring in 1993, but decided against it less than a year later when he was offered a contract to join WCW. At the age of 59, Hogan's most recent appearance in wrestling was on an episode of TNA Impact that aired on 8/23/2012.

@@jamaali2358 Yes, for those who are his. His love for us was so strong, that he gave up his life freely. To be tortured and crucified. To put our sins onto him. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten Son, for whomsoever believes in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. His love is everlasting but he does chastised those who he loves. Like a father would do to his child. He disciplines those who he loves. Also he won't be mocked. We will reap what we sow. Let those who are heartbroken, worry, saddened come to the lord and lay their burdens on his shoulders. For the devil, comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus comes to give us life everlasting.

Jay can only relate to fellow nerds. But that's what makes his interviews so good you feel like throwing something at the TV when he interviews jocks or macho guys. You know they're thinking wtf. I've yelled at him when he asks goofy or silly questions but in the end you can't help but like him. Of all the post Carson guys in my opinion he's by far the best. I think hes actually a decent boxer cause his dad was amateur boxer.

[@-Th7-]

+willkittwk I'm with you. After the great Johnny Carson, Jay was easily the best and most engaging interviewer on Late Night.

Interview with Hogan in Impact magazine in the UK in 94. He said he got down to 235lbs in 94. Looks 10lbs or so heavier here. I met him in 2014, he was still massive. Prob 6’3.5 but ridiculously large. Freakishly big. He never looks it on TV. I’d guess he was 6’5-ish here.

Every time i see Hogan, he is wearing 3-4 inch lift/moon boots. Look how big those heels are on those boots.

[@zackvanhalen]

@wrestledon Yes I am sure. He said he when was filming Thunder in Paradise he got down to around 240lbs. Look at him here, he's skinny as heck. He only claimed to be 275lbs when he came back to fight the Rock in 2002. And he was alot bigger then than here. Still 6'5.5" and 240lbs with almost zero body fat is pretty big. Like I said though, he was well over 300lbs at various points in his prime.

[@mikegrazio5376]

Looks like he lost all that fat around his arms. 19 inches of muscle + 5 inches of fat = 24 inches. In all do respect, he had bigger arms than a lot of people in that time even when he trimmed down

[@QueensNativeNYC]

He had really slimmed down by this point in his career, he hardly looks like a wrestler anymore.. I don't know when this interview took place, I'm guessing maybe about 15 years ago

[@alanfrost75]

OK first off, his physique still looks good. And this interview was in the early 90s. He is not as bulky as he was because this is around the steroid scandal. So during that time he dropped a lot of weight. But, I think he looks quite athletic and still stronger looking than many other wrestlers. He regains some of his bulk during the 90s after they start juicing again.
