Hulk Hogan is without a doubt one of the most well known professional wrestlers on the planet. The Hulkster has clashed with some of the biggest names of all time on the Grandest Stage of Them All and at WrestleMania 6 he was defeated by the Ultimate Warrior.
The WWE Hall of Famer recently reflected on the big match during an appearance on the After The Bell podcast with Corey Graves and he noted that he and Vince had a disagreement around that time. He also noted that he pitched the idea of turning into the Hollywood Hulk Hogan character after dropping the belt to Ultimate Warrior.
“Vince and I had a disagreement. Vince had an opinion that Hulkamania had his run. And it actually went back to WrestleMania 6. When he asked me to put the Warrior over, I said, ‘That’s no problem at all, brother!’ but my question always is, if I’m putting somebody over, what are we doing after that? And, you know, there wasn’t really a clear-cut answer for that.
“I said, ‘Well, how about this. When I put him over and hand him the belt and everybody’s cheering for him, I get halfway down the aisle. How about I just… turn around and just grind him? Just drop him and just drag him around the ring. And I want to be ‘Hollywood’ Hulk Hogan!’ I said, ‘I want to be HHH: Hollywood Hulk Hogan. The ultimate bad guy.’”
