Hulk Hogan was on ESPN's Unscripted today, here is my recap:
The show opens up with Hogan stepping out of a limo. Chris Connelly is the host, they show a video package of Hulk from his WCW days, Chris introduces the Hulkster who's dressed in all black. Hogan said he's doing great and being the greatest father in the world to his 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter. His son wants to be a wrestler when he grows up. Chris talks to him about Hulk as a little league baseball player, he says he was a fat kid. Hogan talks about the XWF and him wrestling there recently for fun. Hogan says it's about time some of the big guns come back and show the kids how it's done.
Hogan says wrestling is in his blood. Chris asks about the WCW sale, Hulk says he hasn't wrestled there in a year and a half. Chris talks about Hulk turning heel and how weird it was, Hulk talks about the nWo bringing the ratings up. Chris says the WWF's ratings have been low recently and asked if they need the Hulkster. Hogan was watching when Flair came back and was excited at thge reaction he got. Hogan's son wants him to go back to the WWF. They show a clip of Hulk in one of the '3 Ninjas' movies and go to commercial.
Back from commercial. They show all the names Hulk has used in his carrer. Hogan says 'Thunderlips' was his favorite name, he talks about being in one of the Rocky movies and how huge it was. Chris asks Hulk whats wrong with wrestling today, Hulk says they need him back. He says Triple H is so solid and one of his favorites in the sport today, he also talkes about The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin being his favorites. He talks about being on the road 300 days a year and when you get injured you just keep going, he uses Triple H's recent injury as an example. Chris says Hogan was critial to younger WCW wrestlers not working threw injurys and hurting the buisness. He puts Triple H over more for working threw them.
Chris asks about Karl Malone (Utah Jazz) being a wrestler, Hogan says he's incredibly strong. He says Dennis Rodman was also strong even though he never trained to wrestle. Chris ask's about Bill Goldberg, Hogan says on a personal level he's a good freind, he talks about Bill getting injured a lot and his Time Warner contract is the reason he's not wrestling. They go to commercial.
Back from commercial. They show a clip from 'Mr. Nanny' when they return. Hulk said he's got a lot of film scripts offered to him, he's bodyslammed wrestling, but never bodyslammed Hollywood they way he wanted. He said after September 11th he's gotten a lot of good guy action movie scripts. Chris asks him why he left the WWF and the steriod scandle, Hogan said it was more than wrestling and the whole sports world was using and he's glad that black cloud is gone. Chris asks if he's mad at Vince, Hogan says no and kisses Vince's ass. He said wether it's Stone Cold, The Rock, Hulk Hogan, if it wasn't for Vince they wouldn't be where they are today. Chris asks if he had creative control, Hulk said he would suggest things, but Vince had the final say, he did have creative control in WCW though. They take another commercial break.
Back from commercial. They take a few emailed questions from ESPN.com.
"What would guarrentee a return of Hulk Hogan in the WWF?"
A shot at Vince McMahon one on one in the ring.
"What was the greatest match you've ever wrestled?"
WrestleMania III with Andre the Giant.
"Which current pro athlete would you pick as a tag team partner?"
He picked Bill Goldberg.
Chris asks if he'd run for office like Jesse Ventura, Hogan goes in to charachter about beating Jesse. That's the end of the show.
