Hulk Hogan Claims Chris Jericho Has Told Him, ‘I’m Just Doing Hollywood Hogan 1996’
Hulk Hogan is still in touch with young guys in wrestling like Chris Jericho.
Hulk Hogan is one of the biggest stars in wrestling history and will always be a Mount Rushmore guy for fans of a particular generation. In many ways, the same can be said of Chris Jericho, who works at All Elite Wrestling (AEW) with young stars who grew up idolizing him.
Hulk Hogan, appearing on the Barstool Rasslin’ podcast, said he still keeps in touch with modern wrestlers, including Chris Jericho. Hogan even claims that Jericho recently told him he was following the same formula as Hulk Hogan did in 1996 when he became “Hollywood” Hulk Hogan in World Championship Wrestling (WCW).
“Yeah. I’ll hit Cody [Rhodes] up, or we’ll talk, you know. He wears that weightlifting belt and stuff like that. I talk to a lot of the guys like Chris Jericho. He’s a good friend of mine. He goes, ‘Well, I’m just doing Hollywood Hogan ’96.’ I said, ‘You’re doing a good job, brother.’ So I talk to a lot of the young guys. They’re still running around.”
If Hulk Hogan said it, it must be true.
