'People Flat Out LIED About Hulk Hogan' With Bubba The Love Sponge & Vince Russo

It’s impossible to overstate the significance of Hulk Hogan in professional wrestling - and popular culture.

From the moment he toppled the Iranian “Iron Sheik” in 1984, Hogan became an all-American hero and a global brand. He later found himself right at the centre of the WWF’s steroid scandal, as well as its all-out war with Ted Turner’s rival brand, the WCW.

Hogan even formed an extraordinary secret tag-team with the billionaire Peter Thiel, together suing the online tabloid Gawker into oblivion over an illicit sex tape featuring Hogan and his friend’s wife.

But there is no question that Hulk will be remembered as a man who spoke freely and lived very publicly - to the delight of many millions of fans.

Darren Prince, owner and CEO of Prince Marketing Group and Hulk Hogan's longtime friend and agent, joins Piers to discuss his legacy. Piers also speaks to Bubba The Love Sponge, the aforementioned former friend who was involved in the sex tape scandal, and former WWF and WCW head writer Vince Russo.
