For a long list of reasons, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan isn't exactly beloved by his fellow wrestlers. The Hulkster, who is a frequent stranger to the truth, has upset many people over the years, but Bret Hart has a very real hatred for the wrestling icon who recently faced another wave of racism allegations.
Logan Paul welcomed Hogan to his podcast this week and touched on a number of topics, including the Hitman's disdain for his fellow WWE Legend.
"Bret hates everybody. If it’s not me, it’s Flair, it’s Vince," Hogan responded. "I’ll never work for Vince again after what happened to my family’, and then he’s back. It just never ends with him. I love Bret to death, man. I started with Bret. I remember when I was in Atlanta, I was in the business for about three years, and I was like, 330 pounds, almost 340."
"I just remember Bret used to live across the hall from me when I was working for Channel 17, what was it? Crockett Promotion. I was so big, I’d wrestle three guys at once, so I’d pick all three of them up in a bear hug and just ragdoll them. Bret was one of them, but we were just all getting started so it was all fun, but then we got rolling, and man, he says I destroyed his career."
He added, "You know, it’s like, okay, all right, whatever. I just don’t get it, man, because I love him to death. He’s a good guy and he was a great asset to the business. When you talk like that, you attract more hatred and that negativity. It’s not good man. It’s time to switch up and be positive and happy and love people."
Elsewhere in the conversation, Hogan confirmed he's just come to terms on a new deal with WWE. "I signed a five-year deal. I’m gonna be 71 years old in a few weeks, but I signed a five-year deal for the licensing and merchandising stuff and, you know, like the ambassador stuff," he revealed. "If they need me to do something for WrestleMania, I just love doing it."
You can watch the full interview below, but be warned that it contains such tall tales as Hogan telling Paul, "I gave [a WWE Championship] to some guy from Harley Davidson and he gave me 10 motorcycles."
Brace yourselves because that's just the tip of the iceberg...
