There is no shortage of information and excitement in the pro wrestling world. Every single moment, a new exclusive saga continues to unfold to stir fans’ curiosity. Recently, one such an old in-ring story involving Hulk Hogan surfaced after an old audio recording from 2000 came to light.

The undisputed legend of pro wrestling, Hulk Hogan wrestled countless top stars in the rosters and picked smooth wins in case of many. But despite being an elite superstar in his era, Hogan had his fair share of awkward experiences inside the squared circle. One of them has its roots back in a controversial incident during WCW Bash at the Beach 2000 event.

The show marked an infamous segment with Jeff Jarrett laying down and throwing the World Heavyweight Championship title to the Hulkster moments before Vince Russo publicly called him out for misusing creative control.

Hulk Hogan named one wrestler he had trouble wrestling back in 2000

During a recently released clip of an interview on the Bubba the Love Sponge show, Hogan has been seen sharing the notorious experience and expressing his utter disgust about working with a fellow wrestler, Billy Kidman. Hogan noted, ‘We know that’s a rib. Kidman can’t go through Sting, Goldberg, and Jarrett. I’m just sticking it up Russo’s a**. Kidman never should have had the spot with Hogan, anyway. If Russo would have been right, then he would have went with Kidman all the way.’

“It was such a f*cking joke, and all I did was get respect and sympathy from the fans because ‘Here’s Hogan and all he’s been through. He won’t work with the young guys and every week he’s getting beat by Kidman. We got respect for that son of a b***h.’ That’s all that did.”

”Two to three times, Jarrett doesn’t get in the ring. I think he’s working the crowd and we’re going to tear the place down. I got them right in the palm of my hand. When you have them like that, you can fart in the ring and the place will go crazy. Not like pulling teeth with Billy Kidman where you have to work your a** off and there’s no reaction,” he continued.
