“Used to Drive Me Crazy”: On Only Four Hours Sleep a Day, Vince McMahon Made Hulk Hogan’s Life a Living Nightmare

Hulk Hogan shares a long storied history with Vince McMahon. In fact, in the yesteryears, he was one of McMahon’s prized possessions, who took the company to the greatest heights in the Golden Era. Though he jumped ships quite a few times, WWE was always his home.

In a recent interview, the interviewer asked him about his feelings about ‘The Chairman’ selling his brainchild to Endeavor. He replied by saying that it shocked him to hear about the sale of the company. But why did it shock him? Let’s find out.

Hulk Hogan speaks about Vince McMahon’s workaholic nature

‘The Hulkster’ recently sat down for a virtual interview with Ariel Helwani on the MMA Hour. During the interview, he mentioned one aspect that shocked him the most. Hogan expressed his surprise about McMahon making peace with the fact that his involvement in the company would dwindle after the sale.

He said, “Shocked that he would not be 24/7 involved with the business. That guy never stopped. It was seven days a week. I’d go to Monday Night Raw, and we’d have a post-production meeting at one o’clock in the morning after the show was over.”

“I’d sneak back to my hotel, he’d be banging on my door at 2:30, 3:00, ‘Come on, monster. Let’s go work out.’ Used to drive me crazy. Then he’d sleep for four hours and have another 20-hour day. It was like that every day,” he added.

As ‘Hulkamania’ was one of the major stars in the 80s and 90s, he accompanied ‘The Evil Genius’ everywhere he went for promotions. The latter’s workaholic nature led the former to get frustrated often, as it would deprive him of sleep and rest.

It is no secret that Mr. McMahon’s love for WWE is boundless. He still possesses the passion that drives his body to work, even at 77 years old. The WWE Universe saw him retiring last year in July because of some legal tussles, but he returned to the business six months later in January 2023.

‘The Hulkster’ mentioned that though ‘Vinnie Mac’ selling WWE came as a shocker to him, it also made sense in some ways.

Hogan believes the sale of WWE is best for business

During the interview, Hogan stated that from a business perspective, ‘Mr. McMahon’ selling WWE to Endeavor was a good move. ‘The Boss’ is a smart man and knows what’s best for business. And that’s exactly what he did with the sale.

He added, “Business-wise, the amount of money it generated for him, and where it’s put him in this catbird position, up on this financial pedestal, I understand the security of it.” He lauded McMahon’s wise decision about the financial feasibility of the deal.

Surely, it was a profitable deal for the WWE Executive Chairman as he got an extra 0.3 billion dollars from the sale. Plus, he retained his position and control over the promotion, making it a win-win situation for him. Indeed, when it comes to business, the McMahons know what they are doing.
