WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan recalls being fired by Vince McMahon Sr. – PWMania

WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan spoke with Barstool Rasslin about a range of topics, including the late great Bobb Heenan’s in-ring work in the 1960s and ’70s.

Hogan said: “He was better than Bret Hart, Macho Man and Ricky Steamboat combined. He was better in the ring than anyone I’ve ever seen… he was great.”

On being fired by Vince McMahon Sr. for his appearance in Rocky III:

“[McMahon] told me to get in my car and drive [to a show]I said, “Well, I told you, Vince” – Vince Sr., the old man, of course – “that I would go to LA to do this movie.” So he says, “If you do the Rocky movie, “You’re going to get fired.” So I said, ‘Okay, cool,’ and went to do the Rocky movie.”
