10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Aug 17)

1. Vince McMahon's Favourite Hulk Hogan Story

The 'No Holds Barred' movie was a labour of love for Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan. Both spent countless hours rewriting the script, and that meant they were often locked away in a hotel suite somewhere and hard to get ahold of. Somehow, Bruce Prichard managed it long enough to hear one McMahon brag.

In between epic writing sessions, the pair spent a lot of time in the gym. Stopping at traffic lights on their way back and looking buff in their tank tops, Vinnie Mac and Hulk couldn't help but notice two girls pulling up next to them. When one of the girls pointed at Vince and said she'd "take the young one", McMahon couldn't stop chuckling, and he'd never let Hogan forget it.

"They'll take the young one with the hair, brother," suddenly became his favourite line whenever Hulk was around.

Bruce recanted this on his Something To Wrestle With show, and he said Vince would bring the story up just to rib Hulk in front of others whenever he could. Hogan, for his part, would palm off the tale as exaggerated, probably because he didn't appreciate McMahon mentioning his bald spot.
