Documenting Hulk Hogan's tall tales has become something of a modern pastime, and inspired one of the most sadly-entertaining blog entries in recent years. Bringing to light the volume of Hogan's deluded fibs hasn't stopped Hogan from spewing out more.
UFC made him an offer to join the fledgling outfit in their infancy, which Hulk brusquely turned down. I'm sure he didn't want to make Ken Shamrock and Royce Gracie look like amateur-hour stiffs with his famed chokehold, the Belzer Killer, which is awful considerate of a by-then 40-year-old that was making children's movies.
It does make me wonder if WWE ambassadors and talent are told to bury UFC in any way when broached, since Vince is about as secure as a jealous girlfriend. That, combined with Hogan's penchant for weaving fiction out of the contents of his own colon, made for one of the more laughable statements you'll hear from Hulk this week.
The Herald Sun has an article about Hulk Hogan's promotional tour in Australia last week. During the tour, Hogan - shown above endorsing the New England Patriots - talked about American football being "boring."
"I wish American football was as good as Australian football," Hogan said. "I've never seen such athletes [Australian football players] run, take those big hits and keep getting up. And when I went back and watched American football, it was boring."
Hogan also took some shots at MMA, calling it "too violent." Hogan - shown below telling Joe Rogan that he was a big UFC fan - also claimed to have turned down an opportunity to compete in the sport during the early days of the UFC.
"We looked at it and it was very violent and the referees weren't stopping the matches and letting guys get beat up when they should have been stopped," Hogan said. "So we just didn't want to have any part of it but it's become quite a phenomena."
