Hulk Hogan said many interesting things during his appearance on this podcast. He is making twice the amount of money they're making.
WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan made an appearance on the Full Send Podcast to talk about a wide variety of subjects and topics. He was asked about his view on the philosophy of how this wrestling business works.
“Everybody says, ‘Oh, this business is a work.’ Okay? Well, if I’m making twice as much money as you, and you’re wrestling me, is that work? That’s a f**king shoot, brother,” Hulk Hogan said. “And that’s how I looked at it. This business was a shoot. It was the man that made the most money.
“So when I worked for Vince, and Bob Backlund was the champion. I wrestled Backlund, and Backlund always got paid more than me. Oh, really? So this isn’t working. So it does matter if you win or lose; it does matter if you’re the champion or not. Everybody goes oh; it’s a work. Well, it’s really not work. It’s about the money and the mileage.
“And for me, if you’re a good guy, usually until the nWo came along, back in the day, if you’re a good guy, your merchandise sold two to one over the bad guy’s stuff. That does not work for me. That’s a shoot, brother. If I’m making more money than you and I’m wrestling you and my t-shirts selling twice as much as yours. Maybe it’s working for you, but not for me. If my checks double yours, so I always looked at it that way.” Credit WrestleZone for transcription and for the news The Full Send Podcast.
