mistake wrestling feet
When you start out in the wrestling business, you make a lot of mistakes, tripping over your own feet and looking like a fool.
mean wwe genes
Well, you know somethin', Mean Gene...
kids mirrors years
I train all the time and the weird thing is I'm in the gym with people between 20 and 25 years old and I look in the mirror and I look better than they do and they are young kids - either they haven't trained hard enough or they aren't serious enough.
real critical ifs
I'm real critical of myself and if I take the bandana off my head I'm completely bald headed and go from being 58 to looking 68 instantly.
running opposites ships
We're probably the opposite of the Osbournes. We run a very tight ship.
tangible fans talk-to-me
I've always felt from everyone I talk to that the fans feel like I'm tangible and they can talk to me and they know me.
dad real math
I'm real good with math, with numbers, like my dad was. I'm pretty much dialed in.
couple believe past
The fans know what's happened to me over the past couple of years. I lost my family. I pretty much got devastated financially and the fans know that I've had some hard times - and that's the nature of loyal fans. They want to see the people that they love and believe in get back on their feet.
covered-up people looks
People always expect Hulk Hogan to be standing up straight, or to have the bandanna on, or to not have my arms covered up. If I have an extra large shirt on people go 'oh yeah you look small.' It kind of ruins the mystique.
guitar play work-out
I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler. I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days but it didn't work out.
wrestling robots
Everybody's out there wrestling like a robot.
thinking hair doors
The only time I'm not Hulk Hogan is when I'm behind closed doors because as soon as I walk out the front door, and somebody says hello to me, I can't just say 'hello' like Terry. When they see me, they see the blond hair, the mustache, and the bald head, they instantly think Hulk Hogan.
negativity together
Negativity and Hulkamania - 2 things that don't go together.
wrestling lost-everything lost
It's amazing that even though I've lost everything else, I still have wrestling.
