  • Bret Hart Talks About Undertaker & Steve Austin’s Characters Evolving, Hogan-Warrior

    As noted earlier, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart recently spoke to Canada’s CTVNews to hype the new WWE ’13 video game. You can read Hart’s quotes comparing today’s current generation to the main eventers of the 1980’s at our earlier report here.

    Hart also spoke about the Attitude Era bringing about the evolution of Steve Austin and the Undertaker’s characters – and what it was like during the mid 1990’s when WWE transitioned from pushing one-dimensional bodybuilders like Hulk Hogan and the Ultimate Warrior to technical masters like him and Shawn Michaels.

    Wrestling Evolving From Bodybuilders To Technicians:“I don’t want to rag too much on Hulk Hogan but he’s pretty one-dimensional,” said Hart. “Very big guy. The great, magnificent body that he had — the 22-inch arms and all that kind of stuff. But after a while, after (The Ultimate) Warrior came, it was like, ‘Enough of the body-building, let’s go on with who can actually do a drop-kick and who can actually climb up on top and do stuff.’

    “I think the wrestling really did change from these sort of dinosaurs to the guys who were really picking it up and doing the moves.”

    Undertaker’s Evolution: “Whereas in the beginning, he was kind of like Frankenstein, kind of moving around slow and ponderous in the ring, and was very methodical. But times changed and by the mid-90s, Undertaker had revamped his whole character.”

    Steve Austin’s Evolution: “I like to think I was carrying the flag for the whole company, where it wasn’t about the wrestlers being cartoon characters,” said Hart. “It was about the wrestlers being committed stars that were trying to get to the top.”

  • Iron Shiek Talks About Winning The WWF Title From Bob Backlund & Dropping It To Hulk Hogan

    Inside The Ropes Radio with Hugo Savinovich
    Show airs Thursday nights at 10:00 p.m.
    Available at InsideTheRopes.podbean.com

    Winning the WWF Title from Bob Backlund: That was the biggest day in my life. Bob Backlund was WWF Champion for six years. Nobody beat him. I was the first Iranian, Middle-Eastern guy to come there and I beat Backlund in the most famous arena in the world, Madison Square Garden in New York City.

    Dropping the belt to Hulk Hogan: “I had so much heat because of the hostage situation going on. McMahon was worried about me. I was the first Iranian to be the champion, he was afraid about somebody hurting me. So I lost the belt to Hogan. It was again Madison Square Garden. I was part of the company, whatever he wanted me to do, I’d do it. I felt bad about it because I was a real wrestler and would’ve liked to stay champ, but Hogan had good charisma and he stole the show every night everywhere he went, so they had every right to have me drop the belt to Hogan.”

  • Hulk Hogan Settles Lawsuit Against Bubba The Love Sponge

    TMZ.com is reporting that Hulk Hogan has settled his lawsuit against Bubba the Love Sponge stemming from his recent sex tape scandal. While no financial terms of the settlement were made public, but Bubba released a letter of apology today, noting that he felt Hogan has nothing to do with the recording of the tape…

    “It is my belief that Hulk is not involved, and has not ever been involved, in trying to release the video, or exploit it, or otherwise gain from the video’s release in any way.”

    He also noted that he was, “committed to helping Hulk and his attorneys find whoever is responsible for the release of the tape.”

    Hogan is still continuing on with his $100 million lawsuit against Gawker for publishing the tape. He is also seeking damages from Bubba’s ex-wife, heather Clem.

    Here is the full letter of apology…

    October 29,2012
    Re: Public Apology to Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) and Retraction of Statements

    After further investigation, I am now convinced that Hulk Hogan was unaware of the presence of the recording device in my bedroom. I am convinced he had no knowledge that he was being taped. Additionally, I am certain that he had no role in the release of the video.

    It is my belief that Terry is not involved, and has not ever been involved, in trying to release the video, or exploit it, or otherwise gain from the video’s release in any way.

    Regrettably, when Hulk filed the lawsuit against me, I instinctively went on the offensive. The things that I said about him and his children were not true. I was wrong and I am deeply sorry for my reaction, and for the additional pain that it caused Hulk and his children on top of the pain that they already were feeling from having learned that Terry was taped without his knowledge, and the public release of the video.

    I am committed to helping Hulk and his attorneys find whoever is responsible for the release of the tape and holding them accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

  • Hulk Hogan Denied Restraining Order Against Gawker Over Sex Tape Footage

    A Florida court has denied Hulk Hogan’s attempt to get a restraining order against Gawker.com, the website that features footage from his sex tape. Had Hogan obtained a restraining order, Gawker would have been legally required to pull the video clip.

    According to RadarOnline.com, Hogan filed for the restraining order on Monday at the Middle District of Florida Tampa Division courthouse, but it was denied without argument.
