Was this just a publicity stunt because of the Jesse Ventura election?
What was your reaction at the time?
Would Hogan have slammed Bill Clinton to his death?

Was this just a publicity stunt because of the Jesse Ventura election? What was your reaction at the time? Would Hogan have slammed Bill Clinton to his death? You answered it in your first sentence. Hogan was/is an egomaniacal, insecure, petty man. He even said that since Ventura was a small fish in a small pond, it stood to reason a bigger fish could do it or some such pathetic BS. Easily one of the lamer non-wrestling related stints for Hogan, among a vast multitude to choose from. Nobody took it seriously. They didn't print propaganda or bumper stickers. Everyone saw it for what it was out of the gate. |

You knew the BS when Hogan went on Jay Leno and responded to every subject with "I'm in the middle."
Even Jay asked him "What the hell kinda platform is that?!!"

You knew the BS when Hogan went on Jay Leno and responded to every subject with "I'm in the middle." Even Jay asked him "What the hell kinda platform is that?!!" Didn't he even use that same response when asked if he was a Republican or Democrat, literally the most basic question in any campaign in the US. But the Hulkster wasn't phased one bit. He went on with the campaign, kissing babies, shaking hands and generally inspiring people to take vitamins and say prayers. It was good. He was ahead in the polls but if you thought getting over in wrestling was a tough gig, brother, you ain't seen politics. Hogan had all the Hulkamaniacs ready for him to be the real deal, man, and body slam all the problems of the world like he did to Andre, Jack. But the New York Times and the Washington Post and all the other mark mags refused to even mention him. Luckily some real journalists stepped up to the plate and gave him the coverage he needed. TLDR: This magazine is 100% the reason why Hulk Hogan is currently in his fourth term as President of the United States of America, brother. {Spoiler}{Spoiler}{Spoiler}  |

Someone should have financed this solely for the debates:
Moderator Larry King: "Mr. Hogan, what effect would Saddam Hussein and Iraq developing or obtaining weapons of mass destruction have on the stability of the Middle East, America, and the World in general?"
Hogan: "Well let me tell you something Larry King. Saddam Hussein already tried to end Hulkamania once by sending Sgt. Slaughter, Gen. Adnan, and Col. Mustafa to the WWF to try to vanquish the Hulkster and take over the world, brother. And as I pressed those three stinky, camel f***ers over my head and they crashed to the mat and I was victorious one, two, three Saddam's curly-toed boots went straight out of fear that the Hulkster was coming for him next, jack. So if Saddam wants to play with fire, dude, the Hulkster will be ready, brother. I'll fly Air Force One right out into the middle of the desert and spend 40 days and 40 nights hiking to Baghdad with nothing but the power of the Hulkamaniacs to sustain me, and when I reach the gates of the palace I'll hit it with the big boot take out the Royal Guard with my left arm while cupping my ear with my right listening to all of the Iraqi's chanting "U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A" then I'll pick up Saddam's best bodyguard and use him as a battering ram to knock down the dictators door, brother, and once I'm face to face, one on one with Mr. Mustache himself, brother, I'm going to call upon all of my Iraqi Hulkamaniacs to give me the power to slam Saddam, hit the big boot and hit the only weapon of mass destruction that will be left in Iraq-the Atomic Leg Drop, jack. Then I'll swim back across the Atlantic wearing Saddam's beret, but along the way a Great White Shark will chase the Hulkster, dude, but when that Great White, with those razor sharp teeth and mouth 30 feet wide sees that it's just the Hulkster wearing the beret and it's not really Saddam, that great white will put the Hulkster on it's back, raise an American flag and bring the Hulkster back to New York harbor to prove to all of the Hulkamaniacs that you have to train, say your prayers, and eat your vitamins, brother. So whatcha gonna do, Saddam Hussein, when Hulkamania runs wild on you?"
Moderator Larry King: "Your fly is open."
