Keep in mind, time works differently for Hulk Hogan.
All that time traveling and working 400 nights a year from flying over the international date line did that

I've never understood why Hulk gets shit for this. 1987 - 1993 isn't that long of a time. If one of my loved ones died just 6 years after we had a party together, for example, id say it was a short time later. I'm in the same boat here. I'm constantly thinking things at work happened just a year or two ago, then someone corrects me that it was four or five. I think it comes from doing the same thing over and over, at the same times every year. It just starts to run together after a while, and gets worse with age.

Remember it well on RAW, Fink in the ring at the Manhattan Center and the 10 bell salute. I was sincerely surprised to find out that Andre was still wrestling at the time as other than a few TV appearances here and there...I'd thought he retired

If it were the only whopper of a lie or exaggeration that Hogan has ever told, I'd let it slide.
But the man lies so much that I'm surprised his pants don't spontaneously combust the moment he puts them on.

"Well you know something brother? When Andre died after I body slammed him at the Superdome I was so distraught that I called James and told him 'You, Lars & Kirk need to move on without me dudes'. Then I told Linda I need to go out for a long Harley ride jack, and I missed the call for the Hulk Hogan grill. It was a tough couple of days for the Hulkster."

If I recall correctly when Hogan picked Andre up Andre knew the slam would kill him and whispered to Hogan “I love you, thank you for everything”. You could see the tear running down Hogans face. As Andre hit the mat his heart spontaneously stopped, the ring snapped and the burn ration of the impact could be felt ten rows up. They tore the stadium down a few weeks later as it was no longer safe due to structural concerns

The racist rant Hulk Hogan went on on tape where he admitted he was racist 'wasn't a long time'. Six years is a decent lot of time. Six years is PHD studies. Six years is longer than the average turnaround on a job. When I think a short time later I think a few months, tops. Maybe a year in some contexts. "Grandpa looked so happy to be around everyone again at Christmas, but he died a short time later. It wasn't the same without him next year," that would fly. I can't see that standing for the scope of six years. That's absolutely an exaggeration. Also again Hulk Hogan is just. Incredibly racist. Is he? The rant was a while back and this was a very difficult time in his life. Also how he's lived his life before and since...honestly I cant remember any real credible stories of him DOING racist things. There were black folks in the business that came out and defended him in the aftermath and said he wasn't a racist It's strange how a few people still harp on this, as if none of us have ever said awful things, or as if you've never heard similar or worse. Hogan never raped, never killed anyone. He's not a jerk to his fans, he's done mountains of charity work. 1 rant 14 years ago...I think it's time to forgive and forget. David Duke is incredibly racist, not Hulk Hogan

David Duke is incredibly racist, not Hulk Hogan He said the words "I am racist". In private, in a space where he thought nobody but the friend he was with could hear him, he said the words "I am racist". Voluntarily and unprompted. He confessed in his rant to being racist and then said racist things. He didn't just say questionable things. He admitted in the framework of what he said that he was racist and contextualized it as something he understood to be racist. Also if the defense you've got is "oh like we've never said bad things" then nah that's some weirdo projection. Nobody is perfect but that doesn't mean any reasonable number of people have gone on that spiel.
