Hulk Hogan was a realized superhero to millions of wrestling fans.

Sadly, however, the reality behind the facade has proved the saying, don't meet your heroes.

Hulk Hogan remains a pop culture phenomenon despite his last match taking place in the year of his birth.

His contribution to pro wrestling is undeniable as he played a pivotal role in the WWE's growth from a regional promotion to national promotion.

When people talk wrestling, many still think of Hulk Hogan.

Who can blame them?

Hulk Hogan epitomized America in the eighties, showing how someone could achieve personal success through hard work of training, prayer of faith, and the vitamins of healthy living.

Hogan also fought many of the wrongs of the time, such as greed, portrayed by the million dollar man Ted DiBiase, foreign aggression healed such as Nikolai Volkov and the Iron Sheik, and people who took sketchy shortcuts to get ahead, i.e.

the Heenan family.

This was a formula but it worked because people could relate to the virtues Hogan endorsed and the vices he opposed.

They could also see a part of themselves in Hogan as someone willing to, as his theme song stated, fight for what's right.

A Hogan's babyface character was someone to admire and aspire to be like, but regrettably Hulk Hogan the individual has sometimes shown himself to be much different than the character he portrayed.

A third of the years Hulk Hogan has been accused of holding other wrestlers back to keep his position on the top of WWE.

One of the earliest stories came from Bret Hart who claims that Hogan was supposed to pass the torch to him at the '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

However, the Hart Hogan match didn't happen, and Hogan dropped the belt instead to Yokozuna at the King of the Ring pay per view.

Hogan has denied he was supposed to put over Hart, and he maintains that Vince McMahon never mentioned a match between Hogan and the rising star Bret.

In Hogan's case, he was the WWF's top draw in terms of ticket sales, pay per view buys, TV ratings, and merch sales.

If Vince McMahon felt it was time for a new champion,

he would have told Hogan it was time.

In the year of the WCW, Hogan did this, putting the Ultimate Warrior over cleanly at WrestleMania VI.

Where critics have more of a point is Hogan during his WCW run, where he had full creative control.

For example, WCW wanted Hogan to drop the WCW World Championship to Vader during the debut of Nitro, but his creative control claws are better known to the fans as, that doesn't work for me brother, put a stop to that.

Fans also point to Hogan dropping the title to Sting at Ninety Seven Starrcade, which made Sting look weak.

The finish required Nick Patrick to make a slow count as Patrick was playing a heel referee in Hogan's pocket, setting up a scenario where Bret Hart would intervene, taking over the officiating.

However, Patrick made a regular count, ruining the finish and making Hart, who had just jumped from WWE to WCW, looking competent.

Rumor has it that Hogan asked Patrick to change the plans and make the regular count.

making Hart look foolish.

A Hulk Hogan isn't the first wrestler accused of refusing to put someone over.

Wrestlers at Hogan's level know that they have to be careful with who they lose to and how the loss is handled, or they risk losing their own value.

Wrestlers including Steve Austin, John Cena and Triple H have all been accused of refusing to put wrestlers over.

At the same time, wrestlers who reach the main event also have an obligation to help rising stars get over, much as veteran wrestlers help them become main eventers by dropping matches to them.

Did Hulk Hogan put many wrestlers over during his heyday?

While Hulk Hogan put over whomever Vince McMahon had asked him to, including Andre the Giant, The Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna, Bret Hart is the only person he may have refused to put over.

Hogan behind the scenes politicking has come up.

A prime example is The Undertaker, who just debuted a year before, defeated Hulk Hogan and the Ninety One Survivor series by landing a tombstone piledriver on a steel chair.

For years Hogan claimed that Taker injured his neck by performing the move improperly,

with Hogan's neck actually hitting the chair.

The Undertaker was reportedly fearful for his job until everyone around him told Hogan's neck never came close to hitting the chair.

Hogan were backpedaled on his story, but he still claimed he was inadvertently hurt during the match, despite no evidence to support the claim.

Other names have been brought up through the years, for example, the rumor has it that Hogan refused to work with heel ravishing Rick Rude because Rude was too stiff in the ring.

A better known story is Hogan's refusal to work with Jake the Snake Roberts.

As their story is usually told, Hogan appeared on the heel wrestler Jake Roberts' talk segment, The Snake Pit, and was DDT'd by Roberts on the floor.

However, rather than boo Roberts, the fans actually cheered him.

One of the most notorious examples of Hogan looking out for Number One is when he betrayed Jesse Ventura's plan to help his fellow WWE superstars unionize.

Ventura, who was friends at the time, was shocked when McMahon got word of the plans.

He later learned that Hogan leaked the story to McMahon,

putting to an end of any hope for a union.

Hulk Hogan has made some incredible claims throughout the years, ranging from his personal accomplishments to his time in the squared circle.

While Hogan has been repeatedly called out for his side of things, here are some of Hogan's many yarns.

He was asked to play bass for Metallica.

Elvis watched him wrestle.

He partied with John Belushi after WrestleMania II.

he discovered Kevin Owens.

Director Darren Aronofsky offered him to play the title character in The Wrestler.

He slammed the six hundred pound or higher depending on when Hogan is told a story at WrestleMania three and Andre died shortly after.

WCW wanted to book Hogan versus Mike Tyson, but Tyson was afraid of him.

Hulk Hogan fought pride wrestlers in the seventies.

He batted point seven fourteen in the Little League World Series.

The New York Yankees and Cincinnati Reds scouted him when he pitched high school baseball.

While Hogan's phenomenal physique was always the subject of speculation, it seemed to fall into the don't ask, don't tell category.

However, when a steroid scandal rocked the wrestling industry, Hulk Hogan appeared on the Arsenio Hall Show and was asked point blank about his issue.

Astonishingly, Hogan told Arsenio he'd only use them when a doctor prescribed them to treat an injury.

You know, on three different occasions, I had the same type muscle injuries.

That is the extent of Hulk Hogan's steroid use.

However, Hogan testified in the Vince McMahon steroid trial that he used them until the year of his death.

Hogan has expressed regret over this fabrication, but is there remorse?

Is it a case of Hogan regretting getting caught or feeling bad over his behavior?

As we'll see next, it's a common theme with Hogan's egregious behavior.

Another situation that has tarnished Hulk Hogan's legacy is the two thousand and seven automobile accident his son Nick was involved in.

Nick Hogan wasn't seriously injured but his passenger and friend John Garaziano suffered serious injuries including brain damage as he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time.

Now, we noticed in our Behind the Titan Tron video on Hulk Hogan, Nick was a minor, which meant that Nick's parents were responsible.

Consequently, the Graziano family ultimately sued, and the police charged Nick with reckless endangerment, claiming he was driving at an unsafe speed.

Nick Hogan pled no contest and spent several months in jail.

But as bad as the situation was, Hulk Hogan put himself in a bad light by how he handled a tragedy.

A tape of the phone conversation between Hulk Hogan and his son, Nick, suggests Hulk Hogan felt that Graziano had done something to deserve being hurt.

Well, I don't know what type of person John was or what he did to get himself in this situation.

I know he was pretty aggressive and used to yell at people and used to do stuff.

But for some reason, man, God laid some heavy shit on that kid, man.

I don't know what he was into.

Incredibly, this audio recording was just one of several recordings that came back to bite Hogan.

One of the most bizarre situations involving Hogan was a scandal that broke when Gawker posted leaked tapes of Hulk Hogan and Heather Klem.

Klem was married to disc jockey Bubba the Love Sponge, and apparently Heather's husband wanted the two to get intimate.

Unbeknownst to Hogan, the two were being recorded as Hogan was estranged from his wife Linda Hogan when these tapes were made.

The tapes leaked, but the scandal of Hogan sleeping with another man's wife paled to Hogan's comments on the videotape.

One comment cast Hogan in an incredibly awful light, as he commented on his son Nick's girlfriend.

However, this seemed too tame compared to Hogan's other remarks on the tape.

In this case, comments he made about a black man possibly dating her daughter.

Hogan used racial slurs during the comments.

Once the tapes became public, the WWE bounced Hogan from its Hall of Fame and released him.

Hogan subsequently returned to the company and personally apologized to the WWE locker room.

Just one of many appearances where Hogan begged for forgiveness.

Oh my gosh, please forgive me.

However, some wrestlers took exception to Hogan's apology, pointing out to wrestlers they should be careful because you never know when you're being recorded.

For some wrestlers and Hogan critics, this suggested Hogan was more concerned with being caught by his racial slurs.

Hulk Hogan's marriage to Linda Hogan ended in divorce, resulting in a bitter battle in divorce court as well as a court of public opinion.

The couple settled with a two thousand and nine agreement that awarded Linda seventy percent of the couple's liquid assets plus properties worth three million dollars.

Additionally, she was to receive forty percent of any future revenues in his businesses.

Years after the divorce, Linda would sue Hulk Hogan for part of the settlement he received after suing Gorka.

While the media is focused on the lawsuit against Vince McMahon and the various NDAs he worked out with several females, it's worth noting that Hulk Hogan settled out of court with Kate Kennedy, a former publicist for Hogan.

Kennedy alleged that Hogan became rough with Kate Kennedy and allegedly forced his penis into her mouth.

An NDA was also cited, but it may be possible for Ms.

Kennedy to avoid the NDA depending on the circumstances of her situation.

While everyone is entitled to forgiveness, critics argue Hogan isn't sorry for his actions.

He's sorry that he got caught.

Whether this is true is unknown.

Nonetheless, Hogan's conduct outside the ring is nothing like the character he portrayed as a wrestler.

And while no one can live up to the ideals of a character, Hogan's conduct has caused some Hulk Hogan fans to regret ever following him.
