Im hearing the something to wrestle podcast, apparently Hulk went around and started telling people that Thunder in Paradise was gonna be the new baywatch hahahah It had some of the same people behind it, so on that front, I could see why he would get his hopes up, but he fundamentally didn't get why Baywatch excelled. 1. Attractive people in swimsuits. Even though Hulk obviously had some admirers, it's not like he was a heart throb or anything. 2. It was done VERY CHEAPLY, and padded with product placement. If footage was shot, it'd be used, regardless of it it made any sense, etc. Even with as cheesy as Thunder in Paradise was shot, and the cost cutting methods taken, there's no way it was going to be as cheap. Stock footage can only do so much. I don't think I've ever heard anyone describe Hulk Hogan as attractive. I barely remember Thunder in Paradise but it was cheap as f***, Hogan and the other guy were inside the boat for almost the entire show.

The fifth season was alright, but NOWHERE near as good as the first four. It had a decent remix of the theme.
But Hogan on the A-Team? Possibly, but I highly doubt it.

By 80s wrestler standards, he didn't look like a honey glazed ham had a fist for a face, so he was above average in that respect, but I was meaning more that obviously, he saw his share of action, even if most of it was probably fame, the old "Hey, wanna wear my belt?" pickup line stuff.

Sachs Baron Cohen was in the A-Team?

Hulk was the first choice to be the Fonz, brother.

I'm honestly surprised that Hogan hasn't gotten on the one man show circuit a lot of retired wrestlers are on right now, going from town to town, telling just the biggest bullshit stories about his life. I mean, every show would be different from town to town!

Hell that was one of the reasons that producers hired Peppard's friend, Robert Vaughn to try and smooth things over. It didn't work and the show was cancelled. T and Peppard eventually buried the hatchet before Peppard's death. On that note Vaughn didn't much care for T. disasteryear20xx.blogspot.com/2010/01/huh-robert-vaughn-on-mr-t.html?m=1"The strangest thing about The A-Team was Mr T. He was, as far as I'm concerned, a bona fide, credentialled psychotic. He had no benevolence. He drove a fire engine-red Rolls-Royce Corniche convertible. He'd start talking when he got into makeup at 7 o'clock in the morning and he'd still be talking at 7 o'clock at night when he got back into his Corniche. And nobody paid any attention to him at all. He was a very, very strange man." I imagine Robert's reaction being this... Not to dismiss the idea that T isn't full of himself, but I haven't heard a lot of people say they were huge fans of Robert Vaughn either.

I always wondered, did Hogan failed as an actor because he always played a version of himself or because he just sucks?

From talking to quite a few convention friends, Vaughn was a straight up asshole to pretty much everyone whenever he would do a con. Even when he died, people had a somewhat tough time saying nice things about him. I never met him, it's second hand knowledge, but it was always consistent to the people who attended and worked these things.

I don't know if he lies so much as he just can't remember the truth, and pulls on bullshit he has continued to say for years. He remembers the stories as opposed to remembering the actual events.

It's always the same stupid voice and the bandana covering his bald ass. f*** at least with Thunderlips he talked differently.

Honestly I just think its in his natural as more shit comes out of his mouth than his arse. Also this thread has also reminded me how terrible the final season of the A-Team is. The worst is that he lies about stuff that's easy to debunk, like how he was offered the leading role for The Wrestler or that he was originally asked to endorse the George Foreman grill, or my new favorite Hogan lie that I just discovered today, that Elvis was a Hogan fan when Hulk wrestled in Memphis, the problem is that Elvis died two years before Hogan even wrestled at Memphis. Well he is massive attention whore so I doubt he cares about being called out on for obvious bullshit if it gets his name on TMZ/etc

People only ever watched movies/shows with Hulk Hogan in them because they wanted to see Hulk Hogan. There could have been no other possible reason.

He's a FANTASTIC "over the top superhero caricature", but outside of that...yeah, it's rough.
