10 Things We Learned From Hulk Hogan On Talk Is Jericho (Part 2)
7. Andre The Giant
Everyone who was around in the 1980s has an Andre story, each one more outrageous than the last and he's one of the most legendary figures in the industry's history. Hogan says that there were 2 Andres: the young version who was full of p*ss and vinegar and very protective of his spot, and the older version who had softened as his career came to a close, a man who, once you earned his trust would treat you as a brother. For example Elizabeth was the only thing keeping Randy Savage alive according to Hulk, since Andre hated him and preceded their matches with demanding shouts of "No baby oil!" Hulkster also says that The Giant did not appreciate his opponents bringing women to watch their matches, citing one time when he brought a date to the arena and Andre beat him senseless mid-match while yelling "No more girlfriends!" Jericho talks about the iconic segment where Andre ripped off the WWE champ's cross, and Hulk shares a neat detail about how he had planned to attempt to cry, so to assist him he had Vick's VapoRub on his finger and was prepared to smear it in his eye. Never let it be said the Hulkster didn't take his method acting seriously.
