Hulk Hogan, the WWE Hall of Famer, has served as an inspiration to many prominent figures in the wrestling business. Everything about him since the Attitude Era has been excellent, including his backstage demeanour and wrestling technique.
Vince McMahon and Hogan are longtime friends. Given their extensive history, the WWE Universe is familiar of many tales involving both. The 70-year-old did, however, also contact with Vince McMahon Sr. during the Attitude Era.
Hogan shared an intriguing story about his encounter with McMahon Sr. in a recent interview with The Stakscast. During his initial years, the latter desired that Hogan be portrayed as the Irish-American community’s hero. He offered the Hall of Famer two bottles of red hair colour as payment for that.
However, after having a chat with Freddie Blassie, former WWE superstar, he decided not to dye his hair red and was afraid of getting fired by the Boss. However, when he came face to face with McMahon Sr. again, the latter was cool with it and let the matter slide without saying anything.
He says, “Well, I have Chief Jay Strongbow for the Native Americans, Bruno Sammartino for the Italian Americans, and Pedro Morales for the Puerto Rican Americans.” I want you to be Hulk Hogan for the Irish-American community, not Terry “The Hulk” Boulder. “These two bottles of red dye are for colouring your hair red.” The party is finished if I put this red dye in my hair because I’m already getting bald-headed. My hair wasn’t ready when I went back to see Vince McMahon for TV the following day, and he said, “Oh, don’t worry about it, you’re fine.” And he simply let it pass.
