Why Hulk Hogan Returned to Wrestling After 8 Back Surgeries (2011) 

The fact that Linda gets so much money not not doing shit in her life is the worst thing possible.

He was such a huge pop culture figure in the 80's. I remember watching the hulk hogan cartoon on saturday mornings.

Imagine sacrificing your body to earn and being in permanent pain.. and a judge gives half your possessions to your ex wife

The guy has had 17 surgeries in the last 10 years. Insane.

Every time a wrestler comes on a show everyone has to point out that it’s pre determined. Smh everyone knows by now, that’s like constantly reminding actors that their movies are scripted, like no shit we get it

Better be careful saying "fake" around the Hulkster. You might find yourself on the wrong end of a Yapapi Indian strap match, BROTHER!

These guys take a beating 200-300 days a year. They don’t get paid enough money IMO. These guys are amazing athletes.

I met him in Calgary at a Stampede event. He was real bloated. He told me to stay in shape brother. Only cost me 250$ with photo lol

After his divorce and his ex got the boyfriend that was as old as his daughter he made the “I understand OJ” comment. Then Linda put a restraining order against him saying Hulk threatened her life. But I agree and understand Hulks comment about OJ. Sacrifice your body and spend your life saving. Then your ex gets it. Gets a new boyfriend and spends that money on him. See him riding around town in the car you bought spending the money you earned the hard way. Yeah you’d go crazy too. Especially on yourself for not having a prenup. But you were in love and she’s like our love is real and we’ll never be break up. But it’s like Martin Lawrence said when he got in an argument with a female heckler. If you go in a relationship with millions and all she brings in is a purse a prenup should be mandatory.

Hogan is such an American Icon. Recognizable anywhere, even if you don't follow wrestling.

I remember him hanging out on occasion at a local bar in Florida that was on my beach in the mid to late 70's. Just some big young guy named Terry that was sometimes around learning from veterans of the business that we all knew. He was almost shy. I did not see at the time what he was going to become. Wrestling was some rough shit in those days. You had to be tough as nails to survive. Five shows a week. No time to recover, and they definitely got hurt on a regular basis.

For the money, brother

Can you guys just start uploading the full interviews? At least on Sirius...

Hogan did what almost all Americans do. He spent every dollar he made, plus borrowed every cent a bank would let him have. He just made a lot more, spent a lot more and borrowed a lot more than the average person is capable of doing.

#Respect to Hulk for not taking the bait on "You are the GOAT" He didn't take the opportunity to put himself over

320 matches a year, 320 leg drops a year. Basically from what, 84-92? Probably does a number on the spine

The picture of his back after surgery is a harsh reality!

Conclusion linda took all his money that's why he wrestled again lol

Why did he go back to wrestling? Because he didn't make her sign a prenup.

Loving these wrestling/Howard interviews!!!

He seems so humble and down to earth. I've never seen Hogan like this before.

The Gawker settlement should ensure he's done working

Hulk has said before that if he had to do it all over again he would've used a different finisher, a hundred thousand leg drops were what screwed up his back so bad

Hulk still holds legendary status to his fans and i am not even one of them. It's just a fact. I am a fan but not a wrestling fan so lets get that out there first.

Howard LOVE to hear himself talk!

When your broke it’s time to go to work

Hogan saying brother is so cool.

He’s so polite and respectful.

2011 was the best year of my life.

Translation: He didn't need the money, but he did it for the money

They need a show where “wrestling is fake” ppl need to spend a month training and doing matches

Hulk looks in great shape.

This man was one biggest things in the 80s and influenced a generation and sure it was staged but the stunts were real with real world consequences

It's his main source of income brotha! That's what men do brotha

great interview

Hogan will always be my all time favorite wrestler. He's a good human being.

Because he needed the money

I have this guy's poster in my room

"Yea it was in my spine...... Spinal"

This is ten years old looks like it was filmed last week

I was hoping this was a old interview!

If it was fake he couldn't be injured I went in 2015 saw a wrestling match live for the first time I was amazed.

Why don't they just release the whole interviews instead of these 5 minute clips? All the Howard TV material is years old to begin with.

Without watching, I'm guessing the answer is money

Imagine doing your job, end up with 8 back surgeries, and people still telling if it's fake? Must make them angry in pain.

The same reason for EVERY comeback: Money

0:14 those are fighting words Robin. Ask Dr. David Schultz.

Really cool guy he's awesome

There was a real problem with cocaine use and steroids at the old WWF. Some wrestlers pissed away a lot of money during that period before Vince McMahon cleaned up shop.

Brother, my ex cleaned me out brother

Does anyone know why the Stern show are uploading alot of wrestling related stuff ?

8 surgeries? Ouch!

I needed the money, brother!

Because these people don’t know when to hang it up. I mean it’s tough to hang it up it’s tough to walk away from people screaming your name and wanting to be around you and bowing to your every move

Well you know brother!!!

I agree that there should be a 50/50 split of marital assets but any more than that is a crime

It's from lifting so many weights - doing such intense upper-body workouts. The BONES in his back were not capable of handling the loads he was imposing on them!

He killed Gawker and became richer than ever before

Jeeze he still looks fit!!! Machine

I m not gay...and i know people say that sort of thing seems cringey.. But hulk look damn good...it seem like he can still get young girl easily.. And way more attracted than dan bilzerian.

For someone that didn't wrestle in TNA he was paid a lot of money for staying behind the scenes

More wrestling stars please

He’s so well spoken it’s surprising.

Whatcha gonna do when Linda Hogan's lawyer runs wild on you brother brother

Terry does have an economic degree from USF TAMPA

Single life is the best life, marriage for men usually leads to debt

"I've never had a match where I didn't get hurt." Bret Hart always touts he never hurt anyone in his matches...makes me wonder who talks more bull.

Fingerpoke of Doom was a match where he didn't get hurt.

Robin almost got the Richard Belzer treatment.

CRAZY 😜‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Robin's more fake then wrestling ever was.

Jam That Jam🤣

his breathing is labored.. man his body is wrecked

Bloody sook. 8? I'm up to 11 surgeries and still kicking!

The best entertainer in wrestling EVER!

Moral of the story - DON'T MARRY !!!!!!!!!!!

Hulk Rules

What about gremlins 2?

Awesome...Godbless Hulk wellcomeback Hogan

💰 (that’s why)

Without watching first, I would say money had alot to do with it

I mean, he made loads against Gawker!

Simple answer to the question, he needed money to pay for the 8 surgeries...🤷🏾‍♂️

Howard needs to stop putting words in Hogan's mouth

Andy Warhol thought wrestling was fake too....

where's jenks hulk hogan call?

Won 140 m which sunk the company

Classes to teach people money management? Uh I got a suggestion... How about stop buying things.

People sayibg its about the money..like they wouldnt do it if they could

Hulk Hogan pffft everyone here should watch some superstar Billy Graham videos.

Brother

He has to get on Rogan

It’s ok Hulk you get your money🙏😉

Wait is he actually coming back in 2020 if so I’m going to watch again

Hull rewriting history again...

Im 46...an i love the Hulkster,huge part of my child hood,but theres way more bad stories about him than good. Ask any of his former friends.

67 yrs old , insane. However no 67 yr old is doing MMA in the UFC......not saying its fake. But it must be more forgiving if you can be 67 and still perform.

0:24 No Huckster wrestling 🤼‍♂️ is not like boxing 🥊 so don’t think it is.

Why did he get sued for 60 mill

Can anyone summarize the impact that the goverment case with steroid that cause wwf and wrestling business as a whole at the time for me?
