');
During a recent interview with the “After the Bell with Corey Graves” podcast, Hulk Hogan commented on wanting to turn heel in WWE, his run in the nWo, and more. You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On pitching the Hollywood persona to Vince McMahon and wanting to turn heel in WWE: “Vince and I had a disagreement. Vince McMahon had an opinion that Hulkamania had its run. It actually went back to WrestleMania 6 when he asked me to put the Warrior over, and I said, ‘That’s no problem at all brother.’ But my question always is if I’m putting somebody over, what are we doing after that? There wasn’t really a clear-cut answer for that. I said, ‘How about this? When I put him over, I hand him the belt and everybody’s cheering for him, I get halfway down the aisle, and how about I just turn around and just drop him and drag him around the ring and just crucify him. I want to be Hollywood Hulk Hogan. I want to be Triple H: Hollywood Hulk Hogan, the ultimate bad guy. He said that would never work, and I said ‘Vince, I could be a bad guy, I used to be a bad guy when I worked for your father, I know how to do it.’ Even way before then I wanted to turn heel. I just thought I could’ve had a hell of a run in WWE as Hollywood Hulk Hogan, but Vince and I had a disagreement.”
