In this thread we make up other Hulk Hogan pop culture lies

[James Fabiano]

This one comes from the meme about Hogan using the word "Magoo" to mean saying one thing but meaning another (oh the irony!):

"So brother, when I was a little Hulkster, I told that Mr. Howell dude about an idea I had about this little blind cartoon character, Jack. I knew all the little Hulkamaniacs who couldn't see needed a role model, and I remembered the word me and the boys came up with, and that's how Mr. Magoo was born, brother."

"Brother, not many people know this, but I was one of the original Harlem Globetrotters, brother. One day I called Meadowlark Lemon "brother", and I had no idea how hizard it was going to catch on, brother, because those brothers started calling each other brother, brother. And we weren't just calling each other brother, brother. We really were brothers, brother, and that's why Hulk Hugan doesn't have a racist bone in his body, brother."

“I invented Connect 4 brother. There’s a reason the tokens are red and yellow”

McDonald's changed its logo and its colors to attract wrestling fans who were likely Hulkamaniacs, brother.

"When Mr. T and I did that Saturday Night Live deal, boy that was big. They couldn't believe a wrestler could do all that. There were producers back there after that who wanted me to be a regular cast member on there. They said I was probably the best guy to do that show since John Belushi. Another one wanted me play that role Bill Murray eventually got in Ghostbusters. That same guy called me a year or two later and wanted me to be Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation. He was tired of Chevy and thought I was an upgrade, but I was already doing No Holds Barred at the time."

"I helped Caitlyn Clark with her jump shot, dude. I told her about the time I almost replaced Magic when he got some disease or something but I didn't hear the phone when that Hulkamaniac Pat Riley called me, brother."

[James Fabiano]

I helped that Lou Schemer dude come up with The Ghost Busters in 1974, so technically I invented the Ghostbusters franchise, brother. Lou paid me back for getting the royalties from Columbia, by making me the model for that He-Man guy, Jack.

(He wanted me to play a voice in that scared straight episode of Fat Albert, but I felt uncomfortable, brother. WHAT?!!? Uncomfortable that adding a voice actor would put Filmation over budget, dude!!!!)

"Now the crazy thing is that there was this writer and producer Charlie Hauck (Rest in Peace brother), he was a big Hulkamaniac. He had this show on CBS and he actually wanted the show to be about me raising this family, that's why they were called the Hogans. I was down to do it, because I already had my eye on Hollywood after Rocky III and figured, "this could really be the show for everybody to take me seriously in comedies." The problem was that Valerie Harper, she was still a big deal back then and wanted a show for herself and she just did a power play you know; named the show after herself, made it about her raising these kids and all that. Charlie though still wanted me in a big role though and Valerie kept fighting him on it. Eventually the network got sick of her turning down having me on there so they fired her and had uh, I think a tornado destroy the house on the show the next year.

Of course, by that time, the WWF schedule was so busy and there were so many other movies and TV shows I was doing that being the star of my own show just wasn't possible. But Charlie was cool, he changed the name of the show to the Hogan Family and he slipped the Hulkster some royalties here and there to make up for it. I ran into Justine Bateman years later and she said she was always disappointed we couldn't work together on the show, but that's Hollywood for you man."

I honestly don't know if the fictional lies in this thread could beat Hogan's actual lies.

According to him, he was supposed to be the lead guitarist in both AC/DC and Kiss, while being the face of the George Foreman Grill.

"You know, I was the one who made Andre be French. At the time, Andre just spoke a lotta gaga, he spoke some kind of moon language that nobody could understand because they just found him somewhere out in the woods, so they were worried about ever really pushing him. But I knew he had something and so I went in one day and said 'Let's just say the dude's from France and go make some money' and that's what they did, they said he was from France and speaking French. I eventually taught him a little French that I knew and I basically taught him how to speak English from some Spider-Man comic books, and it worked out anyway because I always knew what he was saying even before, you know, me and Andre, man, we had kind of a psychic connection, we had that kind of respect for each other. It's a real shame I had to kill him at Wrestlemania III, but he gave me the OK, he told me in the ring, he said 'Kill me, brother' because he knew how good it was for business and so I slammed him through the mat, through earth's crust right into the mantle, killed him right there. Great guy."

"I once managed to travel back in time by crossing over the International Dateline backwards several times in one day. It took about 150 hours to accomplish that but by doing so I was able to get in several matches in a couple of days and managed to do it in 10 hours."

It was Metallica and I believe the Stones. He’s explained the Metallica thing, he sent in an audition tape, like a lot of other people did.

The George Foreman Grill thing, I have no explanation for. I’m almost positive missing a single phone call, they don’t just go to the next guy.
