A month ago, in the episode of the Vibe Check show host, Kaseem shared a story Hulk Hogan told him. Kaseem talked about meeting the Hulkster at Best Buy when he was 18 years old and was working there.
Kaseem said, “ He came in at best buy. I gotta tell you, I spent an hour with this guy and I sold him all kinds of stuff. He even told me a story, and he gives you way too much information. He told me that Vince McMahon offered him $5 million dollars to buy the WWF (now WWE) from him at the time”

The host added, “He gave me way too much information but gotta tell you he was super nice (and) he shook my hand. It was like what I would imagine shaking a bigfoot hand would be like. It made me feel very small.”
Hogan has always stated that he and Mr. McMahon have an on-and-off relationship. However, this story narrated by the host is shocking for all the fans. Surprisingly, there are many such stories Hogan has said which are not believed by a few wrestling fans.
