Greatest Lies Hulk Hogan Has Told.....

Without Hulk Hogan, pro wrestling wouldn’t be the same as we know it today. Hulkamania helped take the industry mainstream. He was a major influence on fans and aspiring wrestlers alike back in the day.

Where Hogan was largely responsible for wrestling’s first recorded boom period (and at the start of the cultural shift that would come to be known as the Attitude Era), he has presented some of the most egregious claims the business has ever seen.

Hulk Hogan’s lies, as fans like to call these outrageous stories, might just be my favorite rabbit holes to revisit. What’s funny about some of these claims is that they have been refuted multiple times by people who were/are actually in the know.

That being said, let’s take a look at some of the “greatest” lies as told by Hulk Hogan:

Elvis Presley was a Hulkmaniac

I’d love for Elvis to debunk this outrageous claim. The only thing is the “King of Rock and Roll” passed away in 1977, two years before Hulk Hogan’s debut for the Memphis territory. Plus, Hulkamania truly picked up steam following Hogan’s iconic win over The Iron Sheik in 1984.

Either Hogan has a terrible memory or he seems to confuse the timelines of important historical events a lot. Whatever the case, truth be told that Elvis was a known wrestling fan and would’ve probably competed in a karate-wrestling crossover match against Memphis’ own Jerry Lawler had it not been for his death in the late seventies.
