*EXCLUSIVE: Hulk Hogan’s Final Interview Before His Death – Emotional Reflections on Life, Legacy, and Wrestling

The world of professional wrestling is mourning the loss of one of its greatest icons, Hulk Hogan, who passed away at the age of 70. Known as the larger-than-life figure who revolutionized sports entertainment, Hogan’s final interview offers a rare glimpse into his thoughts, memories, and reflections during his last days.

From humorous anecdotes to heartfelt revelations, Hogan’s words remind us why he became not just a wrestling legend but a cultural phenomenon.

In his final interview, Hogan appeared in high spirits, showcasing his trademark charisma and humor. When asked about his fitness routine, he shared a lighthearted story about drinking beer while working out. “Truth be told, before I wrestled, I always kept a case of beer in the dressing room,” Hogan revealed with a chuckle.

“The boys never had that treat, but when I was around, I had a little bit of stroke back then. I kept a case of beer, and the boys would hit it before we went to the ring. Made the matches much better.”

Hogan went on to share a unique tradition he held dear: the John Matuszak Memorial Workout. This annual event, named after his late friend and NFL player John Matuszak, was a grueling midnight-to-sunrise training session where Hogan and his friends worked every body part while drinking beer. “We trained till the sun came up, and we trained every single body part while drinking beer the whole time. It was heavy-duty, bro,” Hogan recalled fondly.

But beyond the humor, Hogan’s interview delved into his thoughts on the future of wrestling and the stars who might carry the torch. He spoke highly of talents like Seth Rollins, Logan Paul, Roman Reigns, and Cody Rhodes, emphasizing the importance of becoming an “attraction” rather than just a superstar. “The WWE is looking for attractions, not just superstars.

Once you reach that level, everyone’s gunning for you. You’ve got to outthink the office, the business, and the company to make your own breaks,” Hogan explained.

Hogan also reflected on his legacy and the memorabilia that defined his career. From wrestling buddies to the yellow boots stained with Andre the Giant’s blood, Hogan revealed that much of his treasured items are stored in Clearwater, Florida, where he owns Hulk Hogan’s Wrestling Shop and Hogan’s Hangout Bar.

“I’ve got pinball machines, wrestling buddies, and even the yellow boots with Andre’s blood on them. If anyone ever wanted to clone the Giant, I’ve got the blood, brother,” Hogan joked.

In his final moments, Hogan’s love for wrestling and his fans was evident. He spoke passionately about the industry, the camaraderie he shared with fellow wrestlers, and the impact he hoped to leave behind. His words serve as a testament to his larger-than-life persona and the indelible mark he left on the world of professional wrestling.

Hulk Hogan’s passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy will live on through the countless memories he created for fans worldwide. From his iconic “Hulkamania” catchphrase to his unforgettable matches, Hogan’s influence on wrestling and pop culture is unparalleled.

As fans and colleagues mourn his loss, they also celebrate the life of a man who truly embodied the spirit of a champion. Rest in peace, Hulk Hogan. You will forever be remembered as one of the greatest legends in sports entertainment history.
