10 WWE SummerSlam Secrets You Need To Know About

8. Hogan Knows Worst

Some balls on the man.

Hulk Hogan had already committed one of the worst crimes against music before he set his pile of bullsh*t ablaze with a song allegedly based around a meeting he'd had with a sick child in 1992.

'Hulkster In Heaven' told the story of a UK Hulkamaniac who had sadly passed away, with Hulk tenderly dedicating his next (!) appearance at Wembley Stadium to his fallen "brother". It was nonsense on top of nonsense. Attempting to capitalise on the astonishing attendance figure of WWE's August supershow in spite of him having f*ck all to do with it (particularly considering his position in WCW by the time the album was released), Hogan can only have been referring to SummerSlam 1992 - a show he wasn't on, nor ever booked for.

It's sort of possible that he got his stories mixed up, and sort of probable that Wembley just helped tie up another lazy couplet regardless of errant detail. It's sort of certain the entire thing was just fantasist fabrication.

Maddest thing of all? Based on his last few years, there's a good chance the two won't reunite at all if the mythical kid did actually end up in Heaven.
