The one where he claimed that Harley race set a ring on fire because he was mad at Vince and then apparently thanked Hogan for what he’d done for the business.
It’s hilarious to read them.

He told so many over the decades. I think the Story about the Kid dying at Summerslam 92 in Wembley was the most insane one heard. He wasn't even there that night, not even in the UK most likely. I also remember the Story about Elvis liking him and being a Fan. Only problem is that Elvis died a week before Hogan made his Debut. Which is your favorite? I’ve found a hogan story that I’ve not heard in the summer slam 1992 story.

He was supposed to be Randy the Ram in The Wrestler, but turned it down. Also, would have been a big star, but he wouldn't go when a male producer propositioned him.

That he out-drank John Belushi at Wrestlemania 2, despite John Belushi having been dead four years. I mean technically he's right.

His re-telling of the Montreal Screwjob is a real fun one. At WrestleMania 2000, Shawn held Bret down and pinned him, Bret the amazing wrestler couldn’t kick out while tiny, scrawny Shawn held him down. I've never heard that one. It's almost as bad the jesse ventura story movie version of the screwjob. Also sorry for the double post I read this thread backwards

Who did he tell this one to? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV6mf9ijX8s"Shawn Michaels pulled a fast one on Bret Hart and held him down and pinned him and Bret couldn't do anything about it and the so called excellence of execution supposed to be the greatest wrestler of all, little teeny Shawn Michaels held him down and embarrassed him" lol.

He wrestled 400 days a year or whatever that bs was by claiming he gained extra days each time he crossed the international date line. Remember those fan votes at taboo Tuesday like shows where a debate was an option? I'd pick Hogan Vs Ibushi debating the nature of time over anything.

Hogan must figure since he beat Shawn at SummerSlam and Hogan and Bret never had a proper match, that since Hogan defeated the guy that legitimately beat Bret Hart that must make Hogan by default better than both of them. I could be grasping at straws, but that sounds like some BROTHER!!! logic if I've ever heard it.

It was supposed to be the Hogan Grill but he was out the house when they rang so they rang George Foreman instead is certainly up there.

he sued WCW because Russo called him bald (yes I know that's not the only reason he sued but its hilarious how much umbrage he'd take about people pointing out the obvious)

Not a tall tale, but a legitimately funny rib.
When Paul Wight won the world title, Hogan told him that he needed to, as champ, be a big spectacle in public. So, he got him hyped up at the airport to make a big deal out of showing security the title belt, introducing himself, etc, and wrestlers cheered him and egged him on.
Sting walks up to Paul eventually to ask him what the hell he's doing, just looking thoroughly unimpressed. Only then did Wight realize Hogan and the others were ribbing him.
(Kind of harmless anyway since, well, Paul Wight is Paul Wight, and he's not exactly ever going to be incognito in these settings, anyway.)

I swear he said that Andre couldn't use a normal toilet, so he would take a dump in the tub and the crap would be so much it would reach the water taps. While it reaching the spout is a obvious Hogan exaggeration, Andre did have real problems with the size of the bathrooms in Japanese hotels, as well, he's a bit taller then the average Japanese man....and more often then not, he did, in fact, have to shit in their tubs. Those poor maids, though!

The Drunk History Montreal one is my favourite just because he clearly has no idea what he's even talking about.
I love the Metallica story that they asked him to be their bassist just because they came out and called him on his bullshit.
Then there's the one he was asked to play Randy "The Ram" Robinson in The Wrestler but passed because he thought they needed a real actor. Imagine the alternate universes where Hogan or Nic Cage did star in it.

I gotta say the Metallica story. The band wasn't super mainstream famous at the time they were looking for a new bassist (only a little well known). The fact that they would reach out to a giant celebrity like Hogan to fill in is hilarious.

I haven't heard the part of a producer propositioning Hogan, but this is my favorite Hogan lie because Eric Bischoff double-downed for him. Bischoff in some interview says Hogan was definitely offered and they were through Bischoff-Hervey Productions. Then Darron Aronofsky laughs at the story, how actors were considered for this part.

I remember the rumor someone posted on here a while ago about Hulk Hogan wanting to patent his own line of shoes that would keep meat warm to eat on the go haha. Just typing that shit has made me laugh. I know what a lot of you are thinking, what complete bull-plop, but how do explain these prototype leaks?

Yeah, that's a better ribbing/hazing story than most, especially around that time. That's a harmless prank, not something that's a felony.
