That Bret should be embarrassed because tiny old HBK had to shoot pin him in Boston at Wrestlemania 17 for the Montreal Screwjob. That one is probably my favorite. Just so out of left field. At least all the other ones serve Hogan's ego, I mean legacy, if you believe them. This just had nothing to do with Hogan and he clearly had no idea what he was talking about. If anyone has watched the Monday Night War DVD, after each episode Renee interviews HHH and Sting. She asks Sting about what he thought when such and such happened or when this happened on Raw, etc. A lot of his answers are that he was so busy with his caree he doesn't really remember or he didn't see it but he heard about it. It kind of makes you wonder why they chose Sting since he didn't offer much, but I appreciated his honesty instead of making up some BS Hoganesq answer.

I've got to throw in that Vince called him for advice about buying WCW and Hogan told him to do it because he was tired of wrestling the same guys and wanted new opponents.

Sting was asked a question. He didn't know the answer, and so he told them so. Hogan was asked a question. He didn't know the answer but YEAH BROTHER I REMEMBER THAT, DUDE! MICHAELS SLAMMED THE 500 POUND BRET HART RIGHT THROUGH THE RING, JACK!

I used to think that Hogan lied when he said he choked out Verne Gagne in a shoot fight backstage, but a guy who never had the reputation of lying, Rick Martel, confirmed the story.

I can actually believe the "I was supposed to be in Metallica" thing as an exaggeration of him hanging around James and Lars and talking about a band a few times. Given the area (California), the timing (probably between 79 and 81) and the fact we already know Hulk plays bass.

Every word in this book is a lie. I still love the story of that first book where I think two guys separatley listened to Hogan tell his tall tales and then tried to write the book together. However when they came together to write none of the stories, dates or anything matched up. --- Hogan has also gone on record saying that he didn’t know the outcome of the WrestleMania III main-event with André, even as the match was going on. He contends that there was zero indication of who would win or how the match would go. Hogan even says that he wasn’t told he would bodyslam André until seconds before it happened, and that André was the person who made the call. This is insane. There’s no way Vince McMahon leaves the biggest match in his company’s history up to the wrestlers to decide. There’s no way Hogan goes to the ring without knowing he’s bodyslamming André and winning. This is just ludicrous. Add in the fact that Bret Hart confirmed during a Legends of Wrestling episode that André was all for putting Hogan over in the big match, and I’m taking Bret’s word over Hogan’s. Also, Hulk said André “passed on” a couple of days after their match. Spoiler: André died six years after their match. uproxx.com/prowrestling/2015/04/tell-me-a-lie-7-stories-hulk-hogan-tells-that-nobody-actually-believes/1/To be fair, I think this one has a glimmer of truth. Apparently (If I'm remembering it right), André was in the back when he saw Brutus Beefcake hanging around and decided to have a laugh by saying that he wasn't sure whether he was going to put Hogan over or not. Beefcake passed it over to Hogan and there was some slight doubt around the event until it was cleared up. Add in fifteen years between the events and the story being told by Hogan, and you've got the exaggerations that were stated.

Regarding the Grill thing, my guess is Hogan wanted too much money upfront, and then has tried to make it seem like fate was the thing that stopped it from happening.

There was clearly a plan, but Andre was just being Andre and leaving it ambiguous if he would actually do it or come up with his own ending, because he liked for people to be afraid of him.

Hogan back in high school-
Teacher: Terry, where's your homework?
Hogan: Well let me tell you something, teach, I had it with me on the way in here, brother, but this big stinky bully came up to me and snatched it right out of my hands! He looked deep into my soul, brother, and then he tore it up into itty bitty pieces, Jack! So I grabbed that 500 pound bully and I pressed him over my head, dude, and slammed him right through the cafeteria, Jack!

Andre was known to sometimes toss the planned outcome of a match out the window if he was in a foul mood, ex. stepping out of battle royals because he didn't feel like wrestling twice. And with how bad his condition was at the time, I can buy Hogan being concerned Andre might go out there in a bad mood and decide to finish the match his own way. But I suspect party of this story is also just exaggeration from the fact that Andre was in such bad shape they weren't sure he would be able to even do the match.

Not really a lie, but I remember the night Edge announced on Raw that he had to retire due to neck problems, and Hulk goes straight to Twitter saying how he should essentially man up.
Keep in mind that Hogan was Edges hero as a child.
I think that's the first time I really lost respect for him.

I think he was supposed to join Rollins band, but got confused and thought they were Metallica. The song "Liar" is about Hogan.
Come years later, and the name Seth Rollins is a rib on Hogan.

That time when he said Elvis used to watch him wrestle in Memphis even though Elvis was dead before he began his career.
The sickest one was when he claimed he wrote a song called Little Hulkster to murdered 2 year old Jamie Bulger. The song had already been written years before and Hulk was just trying to cash-in on the dead child for publicity.

You know, reading through this thread, it's amazing how many mental gymnastics Hogan's defenders are hurdling and contorting themselves through to imply that he really isn't a racist, or that he's a good human being, and so on and so forth.
This guy's a shamelessly (and obliviously) self-absorbed POS.
Edit: Also, for my own submission, his insistence that bringing Warrior to WCW in 1998 totally had nothing to do with getting his win back that he was so totally not upset that he lost EIGHT YEARS EARLIER and wasn't even a truly "clean" loss to begin with (Hulk had Warrior pinned and even slapped his hand to the mat three times during their WMVI match).

Oh yeah, losing to Warrior f***ed him up mentally for years, that's why the Renegade character was created in WCW and why Warrior was signed to WCW. I wonder how he felt about losing to The Rock twice and Steve Austin refusing to work with him.
