My favorite Hulk Hogan lie is that he once wrestled 400 days in one year. Not matches, days.
He also claimed to have been approached by Metallica as well as the rolling Stones to be their bass player.
He claimed that he was Darren Aronofsky’s first choice to star in the wrestler. Aronofsky denied this.
Claims he partied with John Belushi after WrestleMania 1. Belushi died 4 years before WrestleMania.
Claims he got a spooky phone message from Roddy Piper after Piper died.
Says Elvis was a Hulkamaniac. Elvis was a big wrestling fan but died years before Hulk Hogan ever set foot in a ring.
Says that the UFC wanted him, and that he fought a couple of Pride fighters in the 80s. Pride wasn’t around till the mid 90s.
Claims he tore every muscle in his back slamming Andre and that Andre died days later. Andre did most of the work on that sham and Hogan didn’t do much lifting, and Andre lived another couple years after this.
That he got tickets for a make a wish kid who wanted to see him win. And saw the kids empty seat at the event and won it for the kids memory
Narcissists tend to sound the same, because it’s all lies about themselves and over inflating their own achievements because they can never get enough, have enough, do enough, etc.
Hogan and trump both would have had legitimate things to be proud of/brag about during their hayday; but because they are the way they are, it was never enough. It always has to be about them, and they have to be the best at everything. Their ego is fragile and any challenge to anything they do is met with extreme aggression to try and hide the fact that most of their accomplishments are made up lies.
Once you start down that path, you can’t walk it back without admitting to every one of the lies you’ve ever told. And they physically can’t do that. Like, their brain will not let them. You’ve seen trump try and acknowledge that he was lying by a judge and the best he can do is admit that the thing he’s saying ISN’T true, but he believes it SHOULD be true, so therefore why shouldn’t he be allowed to say what he personally believes is true, even if nobody else is willing to believe him? He knows that by saying it enough times, people will accept his lies as truth, there’s no reason for him to stop.
Hogan’s the same way. All Narcissists are the same way. It’s their cornerstone behavior.

Claims he never took steroids.
Claims he’s not racist.
Cocaines a helluva drug
Pretty much sounds like Trump
