honorable mention: that he was everyone's brother.

Fun fact: 8 of these misconceptions were spread by Whatculture

The biggest misconception that needs clearing is the fact that Hulk Hogan is always being accused of being Mr. America.

"Hogan was a bad worker." As Hogan himself once said to Disco Inferno, "The guy who makes the most money is the best worker."

20 years old hogan looks like 60 years old . 60 years old hogan still looks the same

If you haven't, take a moment to check out Hulk working in japan, it's jaw dropping the difference in styles.

Well done. Hogan was a lot more complex than what he gets credit for.

Honorable mention: He always assumed that everybody knew something. (“Well, ya know something, Mean Gene?!”

I saw Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant wrestle at a house show a week before Wrestlemania 3, so he definitely didn't only wrestle on tv.

Honorable Mention: That he left WWE for WCW. In reality at the time he left WWE, he had no interest in going to WCW, he wanted to try more Hollywood gigs including his show Thunder In Paradise. During the tapings of Thunder In Paradise was when Bischoff scouted him and wanted to bring him into WCW. Even then, it took multiple meetings and negotiations for Hogan to finally sign a WCW contract.

40 years old in the 90's was a lot older than 40 years old in the 2020's lol

I like seeing a video about Hulk Hogan that isn't 100% bashing him.

A somewhat positive whatculture Hulk Hogan video. Colour me surprised. About time.

Wow, genuinely enjoyed this - I didn’t realise how much he changed his style in Japan but went and watched after seeing this and colour me impressed! He is no AJ Styles but for a big man has much better skills than i ever credited him with.

I saw him live at the Rosemont and I have never ever heard fans that loud when his music came on and I was at concerts and the Hogan crowd was the loudest I have ever heard you couldn't talk to a person right next to you so he is the best for the crowd he had the IT factor

It's easy to forget just how massive Hogan was, and how good he was.

Booker T taught him that word when he was coming for Hogan

If you watch hogan in japan he was actually really good compared to him in the us. His new japan matches are pretty cool to watch

Chris Jericho was 48 when he joined AEW. Dustin Rhodes is still going strong at 51.

You probably found a way to talk about Hulk Hogan that contains fresh takes and information that even the most hardcore fan probably doesn't know. That is a truly remarkable achievement. Great job!

I have always felt one would need a lot of endurance and stamina to do an impression of Hogan when he was cutting one of this enthusiastic and over the top promos during his Hullkamania days.

I remember always thinking Hulk was the same every wrestling but I saw a video from his video from Japan and I was shocked bro. He understood that the Japanese fans like skill than show and was a g at it

Misconception: Hulk Hogan was heard repeatedly using the n word in an extremely racist rant on a sex tape when he was 63. This is simply not true. He was 62 at the time.

I'm 46, Terry was the biggest celebrity on the planet when I was a kid. I believe that wrestling wouldn't be on TV today if it wasn't for his run in the 80s.

"It's every man for himself...big boy!" - Sid

Hogan gets a lot of crap from people who don't know the first thing about wrestling. Him and Flair are the GOATS. Rembrandt's worst painting is a masterpiece because it's a Rembrandt. The same could be said about Hulk Hogan or Flair. Their worst matches are still masterpieces, simply for their participation.

Excellent call on the birth of "Hulkamania." McMahon was cashing in on/investing in an established property.

Check out Hogan vs Great Muta to see that he could go.

Early WCW Hogan is probably the best he ever looked in his career

He is the brother I never had, yet he treated me as a brother, brother.

Jesse Ventura frequently pointed out on commentary what a flagrant cheater The Hulkster was. But fans refused to see what was before their very eyes.

Hulk and Matt Hardy will tell you about leg drops Brother!

I wish they would have did more than just early misconceptions. It should be misconceptions of his early WWF days.

It's easy to take shots at the guy, but he had a long career and is certainly recognized worldwide. I am not the BIGGEST fan, but I do respect the guy.

Never heard the no1 say the leg drop is low risk in fact I heard the same thing that it cost more damage to the guy doing it than the recipient.

I am so happy that the 1992 Royal Rumble was mentioned. I was there live, as a kid. As we were leaving the Knickerbocker Arena, for the first time in my life, I heard several fans actually swearing and complaining about Hulk Hogan. The crowd was firmly behind Sid, as was I. I was also 11 and was an Ultimate Warrior fan, so what did I really know? But yes, the fans were very much against Hogan at that event, which was almost confusing to me as a kid, and yet I loved hearing it.

Wrestling is like the grown-up version playing in the yard when you were a kid but having it as a job as an adult

Didn’t think that there were still Hogan facts that I didn’t know but you found them! Thanks :)

Great vid, super truthful!

I was at the 92 rumble and can attest, hogan's elimination was loudly cheered

number 11; this entire video is a misconception. lololol love you lads at whatculture

As someone who felt old after turning 40 last month you guys saying 40 isn’t old makes me soooooo much better

number 11 he served in Vietnam with Mr. T BROTHER

4:09 That's the wrong WWA logo. The one shown was from World Wrestling All-Stars, a promotion based in Australia.

Hulk Hogan's matches with The Great Muta are a thing of beauty. They are pure clinic from both men. I loved what Wilborn said at the end of the video "As soon as he got back to the states, he was right back to his old habits" even though Hogan himself was said to be quoted as saying that he loved the New Japan style because he showed that he could wrestle and do it so damned well, and it wasn't just a case that he was wrestling only because the other guy was making him look good enough to wrestle, he was straight keeping up move for move. I've never seen his matches with Antonio Anoki but I wish that I did.

I never thought the leg drop was a low risk move.....I just thought over the past 30 years or so.....it was always in sloooooooow moooottiion!!

I got a piece of Hogan's shirt when I was a kid. My grandfather used to take us to live shows and Hulk threw his shirt to my section. Good times.

Back in the 80s, you hardly EVER saw Hogan on Superstars of Wrestling. I remember only seeing him giving promos for upcoming shows and PPVS. Ventura always called out Hogan heel moves.

Wish he would have shown his skills more in the usa

3:57 so true. I remember many family members loving when Hogan lost.

Another Misconception: It is a "Great Strategy" to misspell "Stategy" in your onscreen graphics.

I think whatculture is getting how to do these list videos. Finally.

He still is the most powerful force in the universe isn't he? Brother

Heard a lot of weird British pronunciations while watching this channel but the way he says "behemoth" has to be the most shocking one so far.

"Unproven"? Brother, read Hulk Hogan's book. In it, you will learn how many venues he had already proven himself in.

Great vid

7:40 They chose the worst possible still shot for that lol

Went to see his japan match after this , holy cow its so different!

2:21 Hulk Hogan was a Chad before Chad actually came along

I hadn't heard that he purposefully dropped weight just to not look like he was juicing before. Seems to have backfired a bit with what people think actually happened.

Hogan displayed a number of wrestling moves in his wrestlemania 6 match v Warrior.

The 1989 Royal Rumble is an interesting one Hogan eliminates his tag team partner Savage leading to Monsoon blaming Savage for it happening rather than simply pointing out its every man for himself Hogan then is eliminated by the Towers and illegally eliminates Boss Man, leading to Monsoon to try and justify it because of "karma". Ventura completely and totally rips into Monsoon for his comments, actually leaving Monsoon completely speechless. Storyline wise we were to believe that the Million Dollar Man had bought several entry slots to allow the Towers to come out one after the other leading to Monsoon declaring "no way could this happen" which would be fine had the Demolition and the Brain Busters also not drawn numbers one after the other.

Hogan is a product of the times he was brought up in professional wrestling. It was EXTREMELY cutthroat back then, and the attitude was get them before they can get you. All the old school guys from that time were like that. Bad news Brown said in an interview that Chief J Strongbow told him “in the business, you can make friends or you can make money”. That was just the nature of it back then.

It's not that Hogan was old when he went to WCW. It's that he LOOKED old and his act was old.

This may be the best list y'all have made.

1:55 Those cocaine sunglasses always crack me up.

The same channel that was critical of WWE for having him back makes a fluff video about the guy

DONT YOU DARE TALK DOWN ON THAT BATMAN MOVIE

Its funny how people like to mention the Sid Justice elimination and people cheering. First off, its like the first few rows reaction, and conveniently the side facing the camera. It was a coincidence that helps the narrative people put forward about Hulk's popularity which I will admit was waning by that point.

What culture and Dave Meltzer have spent years trying to destroy Hogan to the fans.

I remember as a kid in the 90s I for some reason assumed Gorilla Monsoon owned WWE and later someone I won't name who was WWE affiliated told me in my 20s that (not verbatim) Monsoon earned it & his level of respect and attitude had to do with his tenure

One fact is undeniable....Hogan is synonymous with wrestling worldwide.

Legend 👏🏻

Hogan is a legend

This was awesome!!

Hogan could wrestle, his early matches in Japan were quite technical

Thanks, Brothers.

"Night after night"? I think may be the 11th misconception, he worked 8-10 years of house shows, far fewer than any of his peers

I can watch this channel and Wrestlelamia all day. My guilty pleasures...

Oh yeah, his match with Muta was stellar. Chain wrestling, submission holds, dropkicks. Go and watch it, it's fucking surreal seeing Hogan move like that.

Dude...right before Hogan 'cried' over an injured Elizabeth, he was heard saying "Count it down...give me a count". It's called acting.

1:35 - gees, compare the height difference between stallone and hogan in R3 to that between the 2 at Hulks Hall Of Fame....almost the same height...

I love how in fandom being able to wrestle equates to what moves can you do. Nonsense.

He should have used the axe bomber finisher he did in his njpw days...it would have saved his pelvis

As much as he was overhyped back in the day, he’s over bashed today. I don’t get it, probably the most important wrestler, or at least one of the top few, to ever to enter the ring.

Apparently Hogan is 3 or 4 inches shorter now compared to when he started out

That part of Rocky was actually fucken funny :-)

I've literally never heard one person say any of these things

9:35 I remember losing wait to increase my stategy two

3:07 Roman cried at Hell in a Cell last year

9:33 "Great Stategy!"??? The intern is at it again! Someone needs a write-up--and a spell-check!

Check out Hogan's matches in Japan; He is no technical wizard, but he was trained by Hiro Matsuda, who was as legit as you could get

Seriously wish Hogan would have thought about his finisher.

Yeah Hogan was probably younger than most people thought. I mean just google image search "hulk hogan wrestlemania 3" and look at those photos then spend a long time trying to figure out how that man was only 33 years old at the time. Show anyone those pictures and almost no one would guess anything under 40. And it is still weird to look at Hogan in Rocky III and realize he was only about 27 when when that was filmed.

Please do more videos on other WWF WRESTLERS

yanno it goes without saying that i love adam wilbourn and think hes the greatest human being to cover professional wrestling. but how dare you talk crap about how bane was portrayed in that batman movie hahaha.

That does work for me brother!

I like your presentation

5:20 bayamoth? It's behemoth ffs. How did no one in the office know that.

3. At Wrestlemania 3, he was gonna slam andre on the concrete, he pulled the mats up. Jesse ventura mentioned it as being something a good guy wouldn't do.
