10 Ways Hulk Hogan Is The Most Ridiculous Human Ever
1. The Wembley Stadium Death
Death is an awful thing. The death of a child is even more tragic. So, this particular story is likely the worst of Hulk Hogan's plentiful tall tales.
As Hulk told Muscle and Health Magazine - in the latest telling of this story - he, Michael Jackson and Mr. T were at Wembley Stadium doing Make-A-Wish work prior to Hogan wrestling at that famed venue. There, one child was in a particularly bad way, and Hulk could effectively smell death in the air. To help out this little Hulkster, Hogan had a private area fenced off at ringside so the fan and his family could watch the show.
After that private area remained empty throughout the event, Hulk returned to the back to be told the kid had passed away. Distraught, Hogan and his manager Jimmy Hart stayed up all night and wrote a 12-song album dedicated to the boy. Due to Hart's contacts at Select Records, Simon Cowell produced the album, which topped the Billboard charts for eight weeks, and all proceeds went to the child's family.
If this was true, it would be a heartbreaking, touching story for which Hulk deserves plentiful praise. Again though, this is another story with so many holes in it.
Firstly, Hulk Hogan never wrestled at Wembley Stadium. In fact, the only wrestling event to take place at the original Wembley Stadium was SummerSlam 1992; an event headlined by Bret Hart vs. Davey Boy Smith, and with Hogan not even on the card.
Secondly, the album Hulk did with the Mouth of the South came out in 1995 - when the two were in WCW - didn't hit #1 on any charts, and only actually charted briefly on the Child Billboard. Thirdly, while he did work with the then-WWF in 1993, Simon Cowell has never once worked with Hulk Hogan.
