Hulk Hogan once had an interesting encounter with a fan, and couldn’t resist but refer to him as a “dinosaur”. But, the story is actually humorous and not offensive at all!

A fan visited Hogan at his beach shop and brought his Nintendo NES WWF Game with him. He wanted The Hulkster to sign the game, which put everyone on the map, according to Hulk!

This game, created by Rare and published by Acclaim Entertainment, was released back in 1989 and was the second-ever WWE game to be launched. It was based on WrestleMania and Hogan was actually the face of the game.

Considering decades have passed since the game’s release, The Hulkster referred to the fan as a dinosaur, because the game is extremely old!

It may not be the perfect metaphor, but it’s amazing how some fans have held onto certain things from the past. This only goes on to show the impact Hogan had on his fans when he was in his prime.
