"How about your bank account?". That was good. Witty.
are u a cop
John Gotti yeah Johnny didn't like that. It was a good line though.
I cannot believe after this Hulk Hogan tonight show appearance in 1982 that the AWA did not make him their megastar and make him the champion by the end of 1982. That is the biggest blown opportunity ever in the history of professional wrestling.
Hogan was gonna be huge regardless of where he went.
VERNE was a old fool 😅.. he had all the talent and let his ego take over. A bald 👨🦲 old Verne as 😅 the awa champion instead of hogan
@JG_AB of course, and Verne was a dummy losing him
You can see why he would be a big star from this interview. Tremendous and unique look, easygoing personality, and charming for a big bad rassler. Much respect for the Hulkster.
No sleeves, talking about,"I hate to show off."
Haha.
He had all his clothes tailor made because of his size. Maybe he could not afford sleeves.
'I'd hate to show off...' I had no idea those words ever came out Hogan's piehole...
"I'm looking at the size of your arms, I wish I had anything that big" LOL I don't know carson because he was before my time, but true legend.
I lived through the Attitude Era, but I wish I had lived through the Hogan era as well. I can tell Hulkamania was for real back then.
I read Hulks autobiography not expecting much and I found it very moving and fascinating.
I've been looking for Carson shows for years on here. Thank you so much I will spend many happy hours watching these. There will never be another Johnny I loved him and still miss him. Thanks so very much!! 👏
Mysteriousways à@
Johnny Carson was hilarious, yet always courteous and polite. He had class. I miss him.
Very nice relaxed and soft spoken Hogan would have loved to seen the whole interview
I do remember this show. I saw it when it first aired. Hogan as I understand, started in the AWA as a heel, brought in by Johnny Valiant, turned to a face, got huge as a face and that combined with Rocky III coming out really kicked off Hulkamania.
I would love to see the full version of this
A bodybuilding friend of mine went to California sometime in the mid-to-late 80s and ended up in one of Gold's Gyms. Hogan and a couple other guys were also there, having walked in a few minutes before my friend. He said Hogan did a sets of squats with 135, 225 and 315. Warmup done, he put 500lbs on the bar and in his words, "toyed with it." Couldn't believe how easily he got 10 reps...could have done 20, he said.
KevinProNOW Why would you call bullshit? My most impressive lift in high school was a 555lb dead lift. I was a sophomore and weighed about 180. I know that sounds extreme. But I had worked out all my life up to that point. Grew up dirt poor and had to cut down trees as a kid to heat our house. All I had was a bow saw and an 8lb maul. Started dragging logs from the forest at 6 years old. By the time I was 7 I could hoist a 120lb log on my shoulders and cross the fields to get it to my house so I could saw them up to split. So by the time I got to high school I was stupid strong. I know everything I said sounds like bullshit to the average kid today because most people in America can’t fathom ever having to grow up this way, but that’s the way it was. So it comes as no surprise to me the fella above says he could squat 400lbs in high school. Same as I dead lifted 555.
Yeah hardly bullshit for someone that trains every day or almost every day for years always pushing more. Clearly Kevin is just a "pencil neck geek" who doesn't have the stomach to put in that kind of effort.
Not saying I'm anywhere close to being Hogan's size or having his strength, but I used to lift and "power bike" (i.e. climbed hills), and having never did a weighted squat in my life (age 18), had 225 pounds on the olympic bar and did 15 reps like it was nothing. Not bragging, I just always had strong legs, but doing hills made my legs incredibly strong. Never did a whole lot of squats afterwards, as I always felt it was damaging for the back & knees.
He weighed like 330lbs back then
I honestly like this version of Hogan. He seems friendly and quite humble. Kinda like a big teddy bear I'd wanna hug.
24 inch pre cut. 14 inch pre-contest
If you were on Johnny Carson's show, the whole nation knew about you.
I saw this when it first aired.
Old ass
All you punks calling Frank Maiorana old. It will happen to you, as well. Hopefully we will end up having a nuclear war though. Your generation needs to be wiped out.
WHERE'S ALL MY LOVE SLAVES OUT THERE?
THUNDERLIPS IS HERE... IN THE FLESH BABY!!!!
My God, I miss the old style late night. I forgot how good it was!
Hulk was awesome to look at in the 80s & early 90s
Fuckin' Old School right there!!! When we were truly great!!!
Man, this guy looked like a grandpa even in the 80's.
Он никогда не стареет, он как Чак Нориис, родился сразу старый.
Its just mustache and receding hair. Makes any man look older
😂
@@danielrierson6683 not true bro look at ric flair he always looked at least 50 yo
TV's just not the same anymore. It just had a much more candid, spontaneous quality to it. Nonetheless he world was abundant with genuine personalities
I think the Hulk will always go down as the most popular wrestler ever. He also brought his friend Brutus Beefcake into wrestling for awhile if I remember correctly. I thought Hogan was great in the Rocky III.
I can't believe he didn't throw a few "brothers" out there at Johnny.
So young cool and casual.
Fame hadn't gone to his head yet, brother.
two of the greats in entertainment
Great video
Wide World of Trains its a stupid video, it doesn't explain what his true hight and weight is. Their just running around the the real answer.
johnnny carson helped push hogan's career he was so impressed by his performance in Rocky III
Hogan was in AWA here... For all you kids who think Vince created him...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Hogan I remember. Everything about the 80's was larger than life. Carson, Hogan, Reagan, Madonna, Michael Jackson, the list is endless. What a time to be alive. If we could do it all over again and live any time period just one more time, I think it really would have to be the 1980's for me. Maybe a dash of the 70's as well. ❤
I think Hogans arms here where 22 inches cold. Most bodybuilders are in the 5'10-6 range and they have shorter arms and that way their arms appear bigger. Hogan was a legit 6'5 guy with at least 22 inches arms cold
Hogan has a huge skull but the arms still look pretty big in comparison, also Bb's never have pics taken without a pump.
He was 6' 7"
Hafthor bjornson has 22 inch arms and he is much bigger than hulk hogan ever was
Legit 6' 3"
@@mchacker2234 6 foot 6, wwe builds everyone taller, dont believe them kid
If André had walked in, then he would have brought down the roof.
He was so silent here, I thought he was going to answer like ' LISTEN UP BROTHER,THESE ARE MY 24 INCH PYTHONS, I'M ABLE TO BODYSLAM ANDRE THE GIANT, BROTHER! '
omg I was not expecting him to be so well spoken and soft voiced growing up I only heard his nwo wwf hulka maniac vocie lol
He had no definition at all, but when I was little, I didn't think there was anyone bigger than Hogan.
Only one man deserves the title Hulk & that's big Lou Ferrigno
Kane
Hogan wasn't a body-builder, he was a power-lifter, he had plenty of definition but it was a working definition, not a posing one
He got more definition as time went on.
@@gregquinn7817 yeah that’s true.
BIG DEAL!!! I have a 60 inch chest too. Unfortunately so is my waist :-(
so get some lipo- you will look like one of the synthol guys-60 chest ,26 waist lol.
Don’t feel bad. I met Hogan in 2015, and my waist is the only part of my body that’s bigger than his.
I have a 30 inches hips... and growing, but not the way you think.
lol
He's a wrestler not a bodybuilder
Love hogan and Johnny.
He already looked middle age in third grade haha
Ah...Before Terry knew how to work a crowd.
***** no he is right hulk isn't yellow and red yet, he's very green
And before he started the steroids, too, and spare me, he used them, a lot.
Man you must be a smart fan if you call him by his real name instead of Hulk. How would you rate this appearance on the five star scale? 🙄
I'm not sure most wrestling fans today realize that Hulkamania and the whole Hulk Hogan gimmick, as we know it, existed well before Terry & Vince ever joined forces in the WWF. If anything you could give credit to the AWA, although despite Verne Gagne's claims that he created the gimmick, I think Hogan's own intuition and ability to read and interact with a crowd was the true source.
"Its like a new cult, Everybody does what the Hulkster does" LOL
He was a bigger clown than Doink, even back then !!👍💪💪🤡
Even cocaine....scrummy sniff
1:46 Johnny is like bruh
Classic 🔥
Where Did You Get That Picture- It's Youre's, You Can Have It-LOL
Lol that 3rd grade pic of hogan was like me in 3rd grade and still like that in freshman year
Well said, Sir.
Vince gave him the opportunity and he grabbed it like no other, Vince knew he needed Hogan who had the desire and the belief to make a star out of himself
I believe hogan/terry had 24 inch arms or damn near that size. He stood between 6'5" and 6'6" in his prime and he was definitely a larger framed big boned guy. He was very bulky and that worked for him in what he was doing for his career. Definitely some percentage of body fat there though.
He was at least 6'6" or above.
Wearing a sleeveless shirt saying, "I don't want to show off".....okay. lol
Chunky Hogan. Needs to shred.
He heard your advise and now he's ripped
Hulkster was 6'8" 341 lbs back then. 6'7" 320 during the early wwf days. 6'6" 300 during the late wwf days. 6'5" 275 lbs during the NWO days, and 6' 3 1/2" 260 lbs now.
***** look at him next to andre at wm 3, not much of a height difference 2-3 inches maybe andre must of been 6,11 -7 ft then by all the back surgeries.
Hulkster was exactly the same height as 6'9" listed Magic Johnson. He was about 9" taller than Richard Beltzer, 5" taller than Buster Douglas, 13" taller than Stallone, and 9" taller than Christopher Loyd anything less than 6'8 1/16" 341 lbs is laughable for peak Hulk Hogan.
+Sal Amander There are no reliable numbers. They made it up as they went. Their announced dimensions are no more reliable than their win/loss records or places of origins. Parts unknown?
Sal Amander
Lmaoooooo!!!!!
😭😂😭😂😭😂😭
Fuckin wrestling.
Luved' this mess as a kid.
Dude's arms were huge. Stallone must have turned him on to the real stuff at this point for Rocky 3. But most of the comments about the muscle definition are right. I think he did the big power movements, but never the bodybuilding techniques that get you ripped. Wrestlers ate out a lot. They ALWAYS travel. Hulk (Terry) always had a belly that he sucked in. In the movie as Thunderlips, he did have an outline of ab muscles, but nothing like Stallone. He was always on some kind of stimulant because he was always 'UP'. It's like he took pre-workouts all day long. If he wasn't such a likable guy, it would be VERY annoying. But he's entertaining and funny. Saw him when I was small. I will never forget that. He looked like a real giant in the ring.
'stimulant' aka coke
Less to do with technique and more to do with drugs plus bodybuilders cut for shows, wrestlers never have to.
That was the birth of Hulk Hogan's popularity. That was the same time he starred in Rocky III.
I remember hulk saying "Im 6'7 two inches from heaven" and he was also billed at 6'8 in the late 80s early 90s
He is really 6’3 1/2 I am 6’7 and I dwarfed him when I met him! And Andre the giant wasn’t more then 6’9 not 7’4 lol 😂
@@louieboone7209 hes 6'4 now after a bunch of back sugery and age he was 6'7 in his prime. Andre was at least 7'2
@@TheDotComKid84 false Andre wasn’t even as tall as wilt chamberlain who was 7’1 theres a pic of them Andre is at least 4 inches smaller he was no taller then 6’9 ish .. no way was 7’4 or 7ft! 😂 I met hogan in the 90s I am 6’7 Hogan was max 6’4 .. now he’s about 6’2
@@louieboone7209 No, Hulk was 6'7" in his prime. Andre started out at about 6'10" but his Acromegaly caused him to keep growing, as he got older and heavier and his back started to deteriorate he tended to walk with a more pronounced stoop which made him appear shorter but he was well over 7 feet. Regardless of what his true height was though he was still Andre the freaking Giant, if you're a true wrestling fan then he was 7'4"
@@louieboone7209 You're lying. Hulk is 6'6" at the absolute minimum. And Andre is 1 or 2 inches shorter than Wilt in that photo...but he's standing closer to the camera making him appear shorter.
6'6" to record. As his career progressed he developed back and leg problems. These injuries have declined his height by at least an inch now, maybe 1.5. now he is between 6'4.5" and 6'.5".
Ha, if you watch this interview in full they show him coming out and shaking hands with Carson and Ed. He appears slightly taller than 6’3” McMahon, BUT HE IS WEARING MASSIVE HEALED COWBOY BOOTS. On top of that he appears to have lifts in them by the way his legs appear while he’s sitting. I think Hogan was probably about 6’3” at his peak. 🤷🏻♂️
Rest in peace Johnny
The Clarences love & support Johnny & Hulk!
We miss Johnny!
Filmed right at the time when Lars asked him to join Metallica. ;)
Hulkamania is still running wild!
The WWF always implied this was during his WWF run when they include this in montages and packages.
You think AWA promoter Verne Gagne screwed the pooch on this one? Everything--Hulk Hogan, the name Hulkamania, the "superhuman comeback", the fame from "Rocky III", even an appearance on the biggest late night show on TV--Gagne had that sat in his lap. However, he didn't want to push Hogan as the number one face, so Hogan went back to the (W)WWF. The rest is history. The AWA went bust in 1990. Gagne should've done his best to hold onto Hulk Hogan and Jesse Ventura, at the very least. Even when all those other guys (Curt Hennig, Scott Hall, The Rockers, Rick Martel et al) left the company, the AWA still could've survived with Hogan and Ventura as its big stars (and probably would've been able to hold onto some of those other stars, considering the extra company income that Hogan and Ventura would've generated).
Verne was a greedy bastard who tried to cheat him out of royalties...then he has the nerve to offer sheiky-baby a hundred thou to break Hogan's leg...what a douche bag. He and his promotion got what they deserved...a one way ticket to irrelevancy.
Jeff nailed it. He didn't screw it up initially. He actually helped ELEVATE Hogan from a large guy to a large guy with charisma and a big time persona. But demanding some of Hogan's Japanese money and his merchandising was the fatal blow. Hogan was already the most popular wrestler in the world by early/mid 1983. YES, the world...that's how much of an impact Rocky III had. And they had him chasing Nick Bockwinkel everywhere for that belt and they printed money. But Gagne overplayed his hand. And Hogan was literally the tipping point. Once he left...Ventura, Heenan, Santana, Okerlund...they all followed. Wrestling would have been historically different if Hogan stayed and the AWA got the deal with CBS that was offered BECAUSE of Hogan for TV rights. Vince McMahon was too forward thinking not to have expanded the WWF...but it doesn't reach the heights without Hogan. It just doesn't work. You need a figurehead/torch bearer at in 1984, THE GUY without question was Hulk Hogan.
I'm more concerned that there are people who actually watch wrestling.
Scott Woods don't watch and don't comment if you don't like wrestling troll.
Gagne also had Superstar Billy Graham for a spell during the early to mid-70s. Graham said he didn't want to stay in Minnesota because of the cold winters, but there was speculation Gagne made it clear Graham would never wear a belt. At the time, Graham was a huge draw and probably the most popular wrestler in the AWA. He leaves, and a few years later in comes Hogan and Gagne screws that one up, too.
Agreed, credit where credit is due.VKM (who I dislike) realized wrestling was about to change with the explosion of cable (he wasn't the only one though) and made the changes,dropping Backlund as champ and bringing in Hogan POST-HASTE and put the belt on him immediately, then marketed the hell out of him. The right decisions aren't always the most complex, sometimes they're obvious but you have to have the smarts to capitalize on them. For the opposite story, see Verne Gagne's decisions on Hulk.
Hulk is swelled here
Only thing i can think of why Hogan was on the Tonight show in 1982 considering he was in the AWA was because of his appearance in Rocky 3 which really got him noticed in the mainstream press.
Master johnny was the BEST
Hulk is an OG
Yes it was!
To folks in denial, sorry. Just man up and realize that Hulkamania existed before Vinnie Mac Jr. brought Hulk back at the tail end of 1983. Hogan hit the big time once Rocky III came out (though he was popular before then). He was using the Hulkamania phrase while still in the AWA.
1982 the year when Massive back then 6'5 320 Hulk Hogan got real famous from Rocky 3 😎🥊👍🏽!!!!!!!
Its funny now days. No body remebers or knows about the old school days. AWA and so on.
Hmm, I think Hulks biceps are bigger then Johnny's head.
I remeber watching early early Cable USA channel for the wrestling. My cousins even had cable! Cable TV!
Wow Hogan was huge here!
@nWoWolfpacTV I stand corrected...thanks. That does fall in line with why Vince Jr. wanted him so badly after he took over from his father. I started watching pro wrestling in late 1984 (About 9-10 mos. after he won the title from The Iron Sheik) and the guy who turned me on to it had been watching since Blassie was champ and subscribed to the various magazines etc....full of good info and insight. I got onto it the right way. I don't remember being told of those details. (Long time ago) Thanks.
He looks fat more than big here, water retention from the roids clearly. He looked the best during the nwo days, new new new world order
Word. He looked awesome during WCW.
before he using steroids
alex kanyima Hogan started using steroids in 1976.
Iggy M then why he had a different type of bicep ?
Shao Kahn Hogan really slimmed down in the early 90's after the steroid trial.
@jfrankart Wrestlemania 3 was in 1987, "Hulkamania" was already huge by then.
Hogan wasn't even in the Fed in 82 and didn't turn face until 84. Something doesn't add up.
he probably billed those measurements in the same way wrestlers bill their height and weight
I have a buddy at the gym who is 6 foot 4 and says he used to have a 60 chest in his younger days(he's in his 50's now), i have 54in chest and he's bigger on upper body than me so seems believable.
Nice indeed,2 years BEFORE his dominance of WWF/E began so still had to be in AWA,very cool.
Hulk Hogan!! My nigga....
Hulk looking great.and cute.
Hulk began to look noticeably different once he hit 30, it wasn't just his hair.
2 years before Hulk Hogan wins the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Hogan won the WWF title at 1984.
Hulk's legs look tiny in this video. But his glasses r awesome
"where'd you get that picture?"
*a little pee is released
Wait it says 1982 this was filmed yet hulkamania didn't start until a couple years after?
so you're telling me haystacks calhoun didn't eat rabbit food? i find that hard to believe ;p
LOL, I didn't realize he had a performance.
Green as a Performer/Speaker/Entertainer on Camera, on a Talk Show at this point in time.
dang my eye , Hulk lost his spark speech around him ,little bit of mess-up might get him rage on his ass , HAHAHA I never forgot his old days :0
His arms were even bigger at his absolute peak. About 26 1/2" Hulk Hogan has,a wingspan of WELL over 7 feet. Buster Douglas has a wingspan of 6"11" and even he had very short arms and narrow shoulders compared to the Hulkster.Here's the video proof.
m.czcams.com/video/BIZ3qGwL02E/video.html
This was the original babyface Hogan from AWA right?
@peterp21 Yes, but the question is, would Hulkamania have lasted as long had he stayed in AWA rather than sign with Vince.
Terry just won over 140 million dollar lawsuit against Gawker website BOOM! JUSTICE
60 inch chest my ass LOLLL
thank you
That's because he used to call people "Daddy" back then, "Brother" came around 85-86.
hulkamania lol
The amount of jealous haters in here is hilarious.
No kidding! They got nothing better to do. Very sad and pathetic lol.
ryan toomey these jealous folks should put more time into training instead of being jealous! :P
I know man these jealous derespectful haters got nothing better to do with themselves. I get a kick out if it. sometimes I like getting a rise from these Jealous haters. hulk will always rule.
endocry agreed
Can't believe Hogan was only 29 in this video!
im pretty sure he is 62 now doe
Alexander Dimitrov he ages really well
Hogan is one of the greatest Aussies of all time.
CheesyTV what
Edit: ooooh
Paul Hogan.....agreed.....LOL
29years old Hogan
if 24 inches is true at least third of it is fat because i remember that Arnold had like just over 20 inch or max 22 inch
I been discussing this with few folks on facebook, they DONT look 24 no way maybe 21 22 MAX Arnold had 21 ' my thing is real 24 belong to Rich PIana !! Hogans arms are no way near that.
SID KNIGHT yea i think that youre right.
aGuUU27 Terry is 6'7'', Arnold is 6'2''. He is overall a massive dude. He does have fat on his arms and the shape isn't there. His arms could have been bigger than Arnie's even if they didn't look impressive on his massive body. Still, we can't be sure about the exact measurement.
SID KNIGHT Arnold Schwarzenegger’s guns are arguably the most famous in human
history, and rightly so. Stretching the tape to a full 22 inches, they
weren’t just the biggest of his day (the late-’60s to the mid-’70s) but
also the most ideally shaped.Its a different story... Hogans arms were big but looked smaller cause he had almost zero definition, he was just huge. I think its stupid to compare Anold and Hogan... Arnold was a bodybuilder and Hogan was a wrestler...:)
+Villi Kuha (WildZander) terry is no where near 6'7 he is more around 6'4 at best 6'5 the same tall as the rock!!
