The questionable "Checking the Oil" wrestling move is NOT A MYTH ... so says Hulk Hogan -- who tells TMZ he was once on the wrong end of the violating technique from 7'4" Andre the Giant!!! Hulk's story backs up the claim made by TMZ's Mike Walters -- that wrestlers will press a finger on the bottom end of an opponent in an effort to throw them off their game ... aka "Checking the Oil." According to Hulk, who was at LAX yesterday, Andre would oil-check people "all the time" -- and the worst part about it ... HIS FINGERS WERE HUGE!!! www.tmz.com/2011/07/21/hulk-hogan-andre-the-giant-checked-my-oil/

......Was this brought up in the interview, or did Hogan just bring up Andre's weird.....habit....apropos of nothing? Because that seems like a damn odd thing to talk about during an interview.

They asked it to Hogan if someone had done it to him.

However Hogan got his revenge by slamming the 900 pound Andre through the ring, killing him in the process.

Given the size of Andre's hands, that's f***ing terrifying.

I can't remember what they call it, but this type of thing happens in amateur wrestling a fair bit.

Andre struck me as a creepy guy (and not just because of his size) so yeah...I actually believe this.

I've heard of this before. Back in high school, a buddy of mine that wrestled for the school said it's a fairly commonly used technique. How is a low blow illegal, but sticking your fingers in someone's butt perfectly okay?

I'd love to have heard Gorilla and Lord Alfred Hayes on commentary on this.
Gorilla:"Andre, checking the champ's oil"
Lord Alfred:"AHAHAHAHAHA!"
