Eventually, Hulk Hogan would be forced to admit to the United States government that he had used anabolic steroids to enhance his physique. In 1992, Hulk appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show, amidst all the controversy surrounding Vince McMahon and the WWF. Many people felt that Hogan would simply deal in damage limitation during the appearance, and admit to using steroids. Instead, Hogan outright lied on the broadcast. Claiming he didn't use steroids regularly, 'The Hulkster' angered a lot of people with his words. On the other side of the couch, Arsenio Hall looked utterly disappointed that he wasn't getting any admittance from Hogan. Intense public scrutiny was only intensified by Hulk's refusal to tell the truth. Wrestlers such as 'Superstar' Billy Graham have gone on public record bashing Hogan for the media appearance. Others have claimed his comments directly hurt Vince McMahon's case in defending the WWF. Whatever the case, the fact Hulk had to later admit he lied must have been very embarrassing for the man.
