I am in the middle of reading Hogan's autobiography, "Hulk Hogan" and in it he reveals that, while he was training to be a wrestler, he trained under the famous Hiro Matsuda for a number of years. His training was in wrestling and traditional Okinawan Karate. In fact, Hogan didn't even know that wrestling was fake until he was on the verge of being able to wrestle for money.

He also talks about his injuries. This guy has probably had more injuries than Jackie Chan.

So, yes, Hogan has had actual training in combat. In order to fake wrestling you do have to know how to do it.

Anyway, in regards to my previous thread, I am going to say that Hogan would KILL Stallone in a fight. Do you know Stallone tried to enlist in the Army but failed the physical?

Damn! All Hogan needs to use is the rake to the back, followed by a clothesline and leg drop o' doom! That would put anyone away!

Since I'm taking a stab at this without knowing the details, I think failing a physical means more than being able to bench a certain amount. Perhaps Stallone can't see well, has a heart murmer, flatfeet, etc...

Might it have something to do with what caused his disability? The face thing is a symptom of that I think.

The face thing was caused I believe by a mouth operation gone bad..

imdb.com says "Birth complications, caused by forceps, resulted in paralysis of the lower left side of his face, manifested by a perennial snarl and slurred speech."

I guess it doesn't explain why he didn't get in.

Thanks for the info

I never even realized that he had an actual disability. Does not surprise me though.

Hey, if you have ever wondered how Hogan got to be called the "Hulk," it's because he once appeared on a TV show to promote his wrestling with Lou Ferrigno. At the time, Ferrigno was starring on the TV version of the "Incredible Hulk." When the host of this TV show looked at Hogan, he said something like, "Oh my God, your arms are bigger than Ferrigno's. You're bigger than the Hulk!" Hogan said, "that's because I'm the REAL Hulk!" From that point on, the name stuck.

Yeah but Stallone's mother is a former pro wrestler...

Hogan lives five minutes from me (he hasn't moved to CA yet, right?). He's a moron.

His ex-stripper wife owns a dumb little restaurant/yuppie-shoppe called the French Hen Bistro (she tacked on the Bistro for novelty or some shit a couple years ago).

He sucks.

That's my IDLE your dissing there pal!!! It's time for me and my fellow Hulkamaniacs to bring you the pain you deserve brotha!!!

If you knew how he was a baffoon in the "cloak and dagger" soccer mom politics at the local rec, you'd be cynical too.

And his daughter wouldn't play with me in preschool.

You forgot the Big Boot! It's Big Boot, then Holywood Leg Drop.

No one kicks out of that shit.
