I used to think that Meltzer and internet writers talking about Hogan politicking was just them working their fanbase into thinking he was the real heel behind the scenes and the "workers" were the real babyfaces, but it seems like he really was doing grimy sh1t to try to keep guys down.
There's that story Undertaker told recently about Hogan claiming he hurt his neck on the Tombstone, and the story Goldberg told about Hogan rubbing icy hot in his eyes during their big match. These arent bums just cutting promos on Hogan for attention, they don't seem like they're lying.
