Hulk Hogan made his acting debut in Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky 3. While Stallone himself is built tough, The Hulkster left him brutalized during a scene. Stallone, however, is not the only one to get roughed up by the legendary wrestler. Seven years later, he almost killed another actor while filming a scene.
Recalling his experience during an exclusive chat with ComicBook.com, the actor said Hogan was not a practiced actor at the time.
During the filming of a particular scene, Hogan had to act like he was shoving a cheque inside Fuller’s throat, but guess what? He did it for real.
“He shoved the check down my throat and I almost died. I mean, it was stuck in my windpipe and they had to go in and pull it out and, and he went, ‘Oh, sorry, man, I didn’t know we were supposed to fake that.’ Really? Really? So that’s the one that has stuck with me,” Fuller said.
Sly Stallone couldn’t prevent himself from feeling the wrath of Hulkamania. The Rocky actor later confessed it was the hardest he was ever hit.
