I rememeber hearing some great delusional claims from the Hulkster through the ages, such as Andre the Giant weighing 700 pounds when he slammed him, brother.
Can people post any of the great ridiculous claims Hogan has made as I've forgotten some of them, and they were truly classic.
I didnt post this in the TNA section as this is more related to the Hulkster through the ages, pre TNA.

In Hogan's world its thanks to him, Vince hired the Undertaker who was an extra in Suburban Commando.
Why he'd recommend a guy to be hired then attempt to bury him (pardon the pun) within 18 months is beyond me.

Didnt Hogan faint in the dressing room or something after a match with 'Taker? Trying to suggest that Undertaker was an unsafe worker?

Do we actually have links of Hogan stating these 'delusions' or is this just all 'news' and 'I read some where' or 'someone said that Hogan said this...' stories?.
It also seems that as more time goes by more of these 'delusions' get's mentioned.
Just seems when Hogan and facts get's mentioned on these boards no one ever posts links or videos of Hogan saying any of it. Sure he may have exaggerated about Andre (stating he died shortly after their WM 3 match) however shortly after really depends on what your talking about and the persons perspective.

That Hogan was the first choice to play Randy the Ram Robinson in the wrestler. There is absolutely no way after seeing that film that the director would consider the star of Mr.Nanny and Santa with Muscles to play a role like that .

His claim that he and Andre outsaged Sammartino and Zbyszko epic cage match at Shea Stadeum is in his 2002 book.

That Shawn Michaels held down Bret Hart for a pin at Wrestlemania 16 in Montreal in the screwjob.

The crowd watched him leave instead of the new champion celebrate at Wrestlemania VI.

Have you read his second book? If not, then read it. He's almost perfect, where as every one else is a problem.

Calling six years(roughly) "shortly after" is not a matter of perspective. It's a matter of delusion. If I did something to a guy, and he died the better part of a decade later, I wouldn't say that whatever happened happened "just the other day".

The story I have read is that Hogan was complaining about his neck after the tombstone on the chair at Tuesday in Texas. Even though if you go back you can clearly see Hogans head is nowhere near the chair.

Here's the previously mentioned clip of Hogan saying Andre died "shortly after" Wrestlemania III.

Funny story from Who's Slamming Who's Brian Soloman, from the Main Show. Brian worked in WWE as part of the WWE Magazine, and eventually became the editor. He also had a good amount of knowledge of wrestling, being a lifelong fan. During that time, Hogan had his autobiography written. The ghost writer though was having an extremely hard time writing it though, because the stories Hogan told kept contradicting each other. So, the ghost writer on the book had to talk to Brian Soloman and help pick out what was factually correct and incorrect. Though, from reading the quote above, I guess everything wasn't picked out perfectly. My guess is Hogan may be a legit pathological liar, and it maybe a mental problem he has. I'm gonna look it up on wikipedia though, maybe post a link to it here. He also seems to have a grandiose view of himself. Here it is on wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathological_liar

From what I have seen and heard, Hogan's wife does indeed have a few screws loose, as is all too common amongst the spouses of highly public figures. Yet it takes two to make a rotten marriage, and in the book he totally glosses over the concept that maybe life with him wasn't exactly harmonious either. His rants struck me as being partly a bitter, revenge rave against her...and partly him looking back and actually realizing the cracks where there from day one.

"Can you believe that was SIX years ago? It feels like it was yesterday." "Can you believe that they've been married for six years? Such a long time"

I always thought these delusions were a work and most of them are downright funny. He always gets his name in mainstream media when he makes these claims. he is working all of you.
