I know this book gets alot of flack...apparently alot of the things he says are false or just down right lies...
Has anyone read the book & Is it really that bad?
I know the Andre story but what other lies does he tell?
Are there any good parts in the book?

I read most of it sitting in a library, and when I had to go I didn't bother to check it out because I just didn't care how it ended. I remember none of it whatsover, aside for Hogan wanting to kill himself. |

I did find the story about Hogan's wife finding out about THOSE pictures kind of amusing, if just for the visual in my mind of their reactions.

I've read parts of it and I have the audio cassette. It was somewhat unsettling hearing Hulk talk about how great Linda's ass looked to him.

Ok, back in the early days of Hulk's career he did a photo shoot for some porn mag where he posed with some naked women at ozzy osbourne's house . Anyway, the shoot was long forgotten until some tabiloid <sp> got ahold of the pics and put it on the cover as "hulk hogans porno past revealed!". It happened to come out as the hogans were at the supermarket. Hulk saw it first and was trying to cover up all the issues but linda found out about it anyway, started to go crazy and screaming at hulk, and forcing hulk to walk home. Hulk then says that when he told vince about the incident, vince just laughed and found it funny. |

Even as a 12 year old reading it, I knew he had no idea about some of the things he was talking about.

I remember his story as a teen making out with a girl and prematurely ejaculating and not understanding why.

That still doesn't beat Lawler basically admitting that Brian Christopher was an accident in his book.

I liked it a lot more than his first book, which I guess isn't saying much. I felt bad for Hogan which was probably the point of him putting the book out - to get some sympathy. If anything it made me appreciate that I haven't had to go through a lot of what Hogan has in his life.
I just requested Linda's new book "Wrestling the Hulk" at the library and I expect just as many lies in her book as there were in this one.
Unrelated really, but I'm still hoping that Julie Hart puts a book out this year. I thought I remember reading that her and Dynamite Kid's ex-wife were putting a book together but haven't heard anything about it lately.

I remember his claim that the gash over his eye at WrestleMania 9 was due to almost dying in a speedboat accident. Apparently theres a different truth to that.

Doesn't he also talk about the crowd for SummerSlam at Wembley despite A. Not being on the card and B. NOT ACTUALLY BEING THERE?

He mixed up or (most likely) fabricated the venue for a story about visiting a terminally ill child. He never worked in Wembley Stadium as far as I can recall. |

I dont know to be sure. He apparently got punched in a backstage fight. Like I said, this is only "apparently", and I dont know. Ive just seen it circulate in the past. |

This thread pisses me off. Why does everyone assume that Hogan's lying?

Which is a fine enough claim. It is his claim he convinced the Las Vegas Athletics Commission or some such it was just make-up he was wearing for his match. Yeah. The rumor I heard was he and Macho got into a "disagreement about Elizabeth's sleeping arrangements" |
