The Hulkster was the face of professional wrestling from the 80’s to 90’s. Hulk Hogan is one of the megastars created by Vince McMahon as he won several world championships and headlined WrestleManias.
A few years ago, there was talk about a Hogan biopic starring Marvel’s God of Thunder, Thor, aka Chris Hemsworth. However, there were no updates on when the movie would hit the floor. In a recent interview with Chris Van Vliet, Chris Hemsworth provided an update:
It would be interesting to watch The Hulkster on the big screen as his Hulkamaniacs would rush into the theatres to watch their hero’s journey in the world of wrestling.
Jim Ross says Big Show didn’t want to put Hulk Hogan over at WrestleMania 23
One of WWE’s most iconic moments took place at WrestleMania 3 when Hogan bodyslammed Andre The Giant. The company wanted to replicate the moment with Hogan and The Big Show at WrestleMania 23, but the latter wasn’t up for it.
Speaking on Grilling JR, Ross stated that the company did consider having that angle since it was the 20th anniversary of WrestleMania 3. However, The Big Show was not at all interested. He had a bad back and wasn’t willing to sign a new deal with the company at the time. The Giant wasn’t willing to put Hulk Hogan over, either:
It would have been fun to watch Show being body slammed by Hulk Hogan and recreate the iconic moment at WrestleMania.
