“I never really hung out with him a lot. But I think he did. You could see there was a change in him. You know, like he took care of the guys that were his buddies because it was just a big clique there.”
“Everybody had their own little clique, their own little crew, and they looked out for each other. I was always the outsider. And that worked in my gimmick well, because I was the loner and I didn’t have no partners and all that. So it worked good for me.”
It may have been good for him. Undoubtedly, there were others who wanted to be a part of Hogan’s crew!
The WWE Legend revealed the type of worker Hulk Hogan was
During the same interview, Bad News Brown narrated the story of the time he actually worked with The Hulkster. Apparently, Hogan has always been rather loved by his fans. It was evident when he came out to the ring.
“In New Jersey, you know, like I always said, Hogan had charisma. He’s a great talker. He wasn’t a great worker. But I knew if you got on the show with him, and you were out there as a heel, you just gonna be blown over because people just love this guy.”
