In a recent appearance on the “Barstool Rasslin'” podcast, Hulk Hogan revealed that he wanted to turn heel against The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania VI.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On asking Vince McMahon to turn him heel against Ultimate Warrior: “When I did the job for The Ultimate Warrior at WrestleMania 6, … one of the things I said to Vince McMahon was, ‘Let me turn heel.’ If you watch the tape, … everybody in the crowd was watching me leave. … Slowly, I [could have] turned and [came] back and just ground him.”
On initially turning down joining the nWo: “The Hulk-A-Mania thing was just getting started again after the whole steroid debacle and all that crazy stuff, so I felt a little weird turning heel.”
On changing his mind after seeing Scott Hall and Kevin Nash’s WCW debut: “I called Eric up [and] I said, ‘Man, I’m your guy.’ He said, ‘Well, do you really want to do it, because we were going to put Sting [in]?’ And I said, ‘Sting’s a great guy, but he’s not WWF head-to-toe.’”
