Watch: Hulk Hogan Once Miserably Failed in Imitating WWE Legend, Whom He Accused of Breaking His Neck

WWE’s biggest golden boy, Hulk Hogan, enjoyed quite the run during his time in the company. During the 1980s and early 90s, he was considered the face of the company. He was essential in transforming the company from a regional promotion to an international giant.

Hogan’s charisma and charm brought in audiences, and he was a top money-drawing machine for the company. Deemed one of the most successful pro wrestlers, his popularity also brought him offers and recognition from different other sectors.

Recently, an old video from 2017 of Hulk Hogan in an insurance advertisement resurfaced on the internet. Where he was seen catching a petty thief from stealing and snatching items. Hogan then caught the thief and performed some of the most iconic wrestling moves.

The advertisement was clearly a satire of how things worked in WWE. The video showed Hogan at first performing a tombstone pile driver on the thief. However, as he performed the move, the man’s head did not touch the surface. After that, he performed his iconic leg drop, even where the man’s throat was left untouched. And in the end, even a body splash left him unharmed.

While the thief was on the ground, and the fans were cheering Hogan, he quickly got up and ran away with his stealing. The video was a satire on how effective these pro wrestling moves are, that even after performing such devastating moves on someone, he was left unharmed. Although superstars in WWE perform in a super-visioned environment however, sometimes these moves go wrong, leading to mishaps.

The Undertaker was once blamed by Hulk Hogan for breaking his neck

Both The Undertaker and Hulk Hogan are two of the greatest pro wrestlers. Over the years, these two have gained such a huge fan base that is almost impossible to break. The Undertaker retired in 2020 and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, class of 2022.

Back in 2002, Hulk Hogan in his memoir, ‘Hollywood Hulk Hogan‘ he wrote about the first time he wrestled Taker, which was at Survivor Series 1991. He stated how Flair was a newcomer at that time, and how he had slipped a chair into the ring, on which The Undertaker performed his pile-driver, thus breaking his neck.

Hogan continued, “He also screwed up my neck something fierce. It wasn’t his fault; he took care of me and made sure my head didn’t hit the mat. But the jolt of my neck being stretched like that sent me right to the hospital.” Although The Undertaker broke his neck, he took care of him as well. The Deadman is also known to be one of the safest workers around.
