When I was 5, my parents and I were eating at an Outback steakhouse and Hulk sat about 4 tables away from us, no one really in the restaurant. I was a huge fan, wearing my pokemon shirt. I kept staring and my parents got mad at me. He beckoned me over, told me how much his son loved pokemon and named each one on my shirt, then signed my shirt and told me to never be shy or afraid of anything. I'll never forget that.

They way Theo describes watching Hogan as a kid is why he deserves to be on the Mt Rushmore of Wrestling. Hulk was the guy before anybody else.

Hulk is still the champ in my head cannon

Andre was my favorite at 3 years old. Miss that one! Hulk, Ultimate Warrior, Macho Man, Jake the Snake, Rick Flair, Big Boss Man, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan took that art form international! They were what Marvel is to kids now!

[@mundanemorselsmundanemorse7028]

I feel like Hulk is the true pioneer of wrestling entertainment. There were stars before, but he really transcended the the sport. In the 80s/90s, it was Jordan, Hogan, Michael Jackson-in a different time, they were absolutely more well known than Jesus Christ.

Props to Hogan as well for letting down his guard a bit. I hope he knows there's plenty of us left in the world that still love the Hulkster and nothing would change that. This man was an idol to many a lad while he donned the red and yellow suit. Lots of love for Hogan

Jesse essentially didn’t let Theo talk at all and, in my opinion, was kinda disrespectful. It was just bizarre. The whole thing.

I remember watching Hulk Hogan back in the day growing up in Kenya. He and the Undertaker were my fave!. He is still looking to be in good shape. For the longest time, I believed WWE to be real. It broke my heart to find out it was staged. That being said, I still enjoyed watching and as you mention Theo, most time the audience connects with the character and Hulk was good. WWE, must be one of the first to make reality TV "scripting" a thing. Thanks Theo for this interview. :)
