Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer and former WCW announcer Mark Madden join for a tribute to the late Hulk Hogan. They share stories about Hogan’s incredible rise in the ‘80s, the Vince McMahon expansion era, his game-changing jump to WCW, and the infamous heel turn that created the nWo. They break down Starrcade ‘97, Hogan’s massive contract and creative control, and how he helped WCW explode – and then later implode. Chris shares personal memories from backstage beers and house shows to Hogan’s surprising praise after a Goldberg segment. They also discuss Hogan’s legacy, controversies, and why, despite it all, Hulk remains one of the most iconic figures in wrestling history.
