Hulk Hogan is one of the most well-known WWE Superstars of all time. Every 80s and 90s fan growing up idolized Hulk Hogan as their ideal wrestler. The Golden era of WWE saw Hogan rise the ladder of success, and become the face of the company.

Hogan had an incredible physique, which inspired many, as well as left several in awe. He sported huge, 24inch biceps with a sturdy and well-built figure. Once, his biceps even left boxing legend, Muhammad Ali jaw-dropped. Alongside pro wrestling, Hogan also starred in several films as well.

On Taskmaster Talks, Kevin Sullivan revealed it that David Hasselhoff had heat with The Hulkster. Sullivan revealed that everyone on the set of ‘Baywatch’ was extremely nice. However, there was a rift between Hasselhoff and Hogan. When Hogan and the other WCW stars filmed their episode, Hasselhoff was not present on the set.

Sullivan believed that Hasselhoff was jealous of Hogan. Although, Hasselhoff himself sported a good physique, could the 24inch biceps of Hogan be the reason of his jealousy?

Sullivan said, “The people on Baywatch were super. They were very nice. The only thing is I think there was some animosity between Hasselhoff and Hogan. Hasselhoff was not in that episode if you recall and he didn’t even come around to see Hulk. I think he was jealous of Hulk.”

All the production people were great. It was a great time. I really enjoyed it.” Although nothing about their rift can be confirmed, since none of them have spoken about it. However, both of them were two of the most popular stars of that era.

‘Iron’ Mike Tyson was supposed to be a referee in the WWF Championship match between Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage in 1990. However, after his disappearance from the public eye after losing to Buster Douglas at the Tokyo Dome, WWE removed him from the scene. WWE went forward and had Douglas enter the match between Hogan and Savage.

Bruce Prichard later revealed that WWE had planned a feud between Hogan and Tyson. However, neither of them wanted to lose the match as well. Both of them were the top stars of that time, and a feud between them would have helped WWE a lot.
