Roma opens up on Hulk Hogan
The Hulkster was the top star in wrestling when both men competed for Vince McMahon’s company. During this time, Hogan was presented as a babyface.
On the latest edition of Sportskeeda Wrestling’s UnSkripted, Dr. Chris Featherstone sat down with former WWE star Paul Roma for an in-depth discussion. In one highlight, Roma looked back on the time Hulk Hogan was upset when he had to interact with another kid at the end of a meet and great:
“I lost respect for Terry [Hulk Hogan] when we were in Detroit, and they brought in somebody from one of the local hospitals, and we had just got done meeting kids, and then they said there’s one more kid,” Roma said. “And they wheeled him in on a bed, and [asked] if he can come see him, and Hogan threw up his hands. He was all frustrated and all pi**y.”
“I looked at him and I was like, “Really? So you’re a big phony, that’s really what you are,'” Roma continued. “For the cameras you’re ‘Eat your vitamins and say your prayers,’ and when the cameras are off, it’s ‘To hell to those kids’ who live for wrestling. I got you man, I got your number, and that was it. From that point on, I was cordial, but I had no respect for him anymore.”
