MAKE WAY NEW STARS posted:Does hulk hogan not have a history of bad business and cocaine mountains that may have put a dent in his finances prior to the divorce? I remember hearing Hogan complain that due to the way divorce works in Florida, he had to pay for his wife's lawyers in the case along with his own. So the lawyers were trying to drag everything out for as long as possible.

Hogan always was trying to get something going outside of wrestling- endorsements, movies, fast food pasta chains, meat shoes etc.- and they kept not working out. It's not surprising that he became increasingly protective of his spot since that was the one area he was consistently successful.

Yeah I mean he slipped once or twice in the earlier days, but he also owned it and accepted it happened and didn't let it deter him. It's a hard thing to do anyway, let alone publically, but given that he spent almost 30 years blitzed out of it he's doing great. Hall seemed to do enough to convince himself he was fine and then just put himself back into situations where he was going to relapse.

1st AD posted:wait what? Someone explain Here's how I think it went: The story has gotten jumbled, but basically in an interview Hogan said that when he wrestled in Japan in the late 70s he "got in the ring with some PRIDE guys and was never sure if they were going to shoot on him or not" Since then it's become a broken telephone game of Hogan claiming he fought in PRIDE before it even existed. I think he meant to say martial arts guys but hosed it up.

also wasn't it jumbled up with him saying something like he gave the Undertaker his gimmick or finishing move, during a time period where Taker would've been like 10?

I could understand that in a brain that is steroid-, cocaine-, and concussion-addled that you could think to yourself "martial arts guys from Japan" and then transfer that thinking to PRIDE FC and then remember that you saw a thing about them being bought by the UFC. But it's a lot funnier the way it's generally told.

quote:The situation with Alex Wright after his brain aneurism is that he's been cleared by his doctor to wrestle, but WCW wants him to sign a waiver absolving them of liability in case of a future injury stemming from this, and won't let him wrestle until he signs it. As of this point, he isn't planning on signing so unless one side changes its mind, he'll be getting paid through the end of his contract but not wrestling

Nitro Grill seemed like standard casual dining stuff, like a wrestling-themed TGI Fridays. Pastamania's menu is too vague and emphasizes building your own over specific entrees. Food court eating midwesterners who try to mix and match their own pasta are mostly going to get the blandest poo poo. And what, exactly, are those veggies? They needed a list of fully-described entrees like Hulk's Power Pasta first and the mix and match second.

One the one hand, just at first blush it seems kind of wrong for someone to be like "Yeah, I know I had an aneurysm, but I'd still like to be able to sue you if my wrestling after having it creates some kind of complication, and if you don't like it you can pay me to do nothing." On the other hand since this is WCW and Alex Wright was a really cool dude I'm going to assume I'm just missing something obvious that makes Team Turner in the wrong rather than my favorite German.

I haven't been to this thread in a while, have you talked about how Hogan said he wanted to fight Bret Hart in WCW, but Bret couldn't because he had a stroke? That's probably my favorite Hogan true Hollywood stories.
