The Hulkster saved Vince McMahon from serious allegations

During the early 90s, Mr. McMahon was in the news very much, but for all the wrong reasons. At the time, McMahon was accused of illegally giving steroids to his wrestlers. The Boss was summoned to the court and went under a trial.

Sterling Golden, being a big name during those days, had a great impact on Mr. McMahon’s trial. When asked by the court, The Hulkster straight up refused any claim of Vince McMahon, giving him any anabolic steroids.

During his testimony, Hogan confessed to consuming steroids for the sole purpose of healing his wounds and told the court that McMahon has nothing to do with it.
