Greg "The Hammer" Valentine talks about what Hulk Hogan is like in real life, outside the WWF (now known as WWE). Enjoy this exclusive new shoot interview from Title Match Network, live in Las Vegas.
Streaming now 📺 TitleMatchNetwork.com
Produced by us in Feb 2021, this is our first ever solo shoot interview with Hall of Fame legend, Greg Valentine.
Find out how Hammer and Hogan first met back in the 1970s before Hulk ever became a wrestler. Hear about their infamous WWF matches during the birth of Hulkamania, including the one at the Philadelphia Spectrum.
Also, we discuss Greg's first time wrestling against the Road Warriors (Hawk & Animal). In 1984, Vince McMahon had asked Valentine if he knew the Road Warriors because he wanted to sign them for the rock n' wrestling connection.
We hope you enjoy this exclusive new shoot from Greg the Hammer!

I met Greg about 30 yrs ago in mount pleasant sc. I saw him at a gas station. Asked for his autograph. He didn’t want the attention but had us follow him and pulled over the side of a road. He gave me his autograph and was very nice to me and my family. I was about 8 then. To this day it’s my only autograph. Just wanted to say thank you Greg. As a kid it meant the world!

I remember watching Greg's dad, Johnny Valentine, wrestle on 'Ray Fabiani's Mat Time', which aired on Saturday mornings in Philly. Johnny had the same shock of platinum hair. Always gave a good effort.

I really like the fact, that Greg mentioned Tito Santana as his friend. No name-dropping of the top tier of wrestlers, being friends not only with the big shots like Hogan but with the midcarders like Tito is a good sign.

Thank you Mr Valentine. We had a great time watching you guys.

Grew up in the 80s obsessed with wrestling. Always liked The Hammer. He wasn't flashy and never did flips off the ropes like they do today. Always viewed him as a "tough guy" who could wrestle for 45 minutes and and never get tired. Always liked his matches with Piper and Garvin. Had some good ones with Hogan too.

I met Mr. Valentine twice in Fayetteville NC. Very nice man. The 1st time at the Crown Arena (formerly Cumberland County Arena, 5,000 seats). He would wrestle there with Jim Crockett's Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling (NWA).

Greg was such a solid heel back in the day. People like Greg, Don Muraco, Bob Ortin ,Adrian Adonis, Stan Hansen and the list goes, we’re such compelling heels and made the product almost seem real. Greg worked a couple of programs with Bob Backlund ,at MSG, that were absolute, kayfabe, golden year masterpieces. The best days of the WWWF......
