Hulk Hogan is not just a WWE superstar, as his popularity grew beyond wrestling during his heyday. The WWE Hall of Famer is extremely popular amongst the top Hollywood actors and is also friends with them. Once Hogan recalled meeting actor Sylvester Stallone and trying to re-ignite the Rocky Balboa vs Thunderlips match.

A few years ago, Hulk Hogan appeared on Sirius XM podcast where he talked about the movie Rocky 3. While discussing the same, he recalled meeting Sylvester Stallone at that year’s Comic-Con and jokingly calling him out for a fight.

Hogan said, “I met him at Comic-Con a few months ago. When we do the Comic-Con, it’s just like, ‘Hey brother, what’s up? How’s the family? Thanks for wearing the colors. I walked into his booth and it was real quiet! He’s signing autographs and everybody in line was scared to talk. It was almost like real creepy.”

He added, “I walked in and went, ‘Hey yo, Stallone, you want to do this again.’ He looked up at me and was, ‘No. Oh man, I don’t wanna go through that again.’ I remember hitting him right in the shoulder, his collarbone almost broke. Then I throw my punches straight into the forehead when I throw ’em and I know I caught him with one, but he was a trooper man.”

This was the time when the wrestling world knew Hogan as a heel. Therefore, he was able to perform in his character in the movie very well. However, The Hulkster also shared how Stallone took the beating for real for a few scenes to make it look authentic.

Clearly, the movie has not only made an enormous mark on the life of the Rocky actor but also in the life of The Immortal One.

Hulk Hogan had filmed his scene years before they released the movie in the theaters

The short role as Thunderlips is one of the most memorable acting works of Hulk Hogan in Hollywood. However, the movie hit the theaters in 1982, but they filmed Hogan’s role a couple of years ago before they released the movie.

The WWE legend said, “The good thing about is all these years later, it was filmed in 79 maybe. All these years, he’s the same poison he used to be. He hasn’t changed a bit.” 

The host queried, “Was that 83, Rocky 3, or Rocky 2 82?” Hogan said, “I think we filmed in 79 (or) 80 bro. It was done way back, yeah.”

Nevertheless, even though working together so many years prior, Hogan and Stallone are great friends. Stallone even inducted The Hulkster into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.
