Hulk Hogan is considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers. He is one of the pioneers of the business and the immense knowledge he carries with him benefits others on a greater level. An example of this abundance was known to the WWE Universe when Hulk spoke about wrestlers’ lifestyles on The Joe Rogan Experience. The WWE legend exposed the dark secret behind their enormous tragedy.
Hulk Hogan spoke about the taxing schedule as a need of the company that also drains one’s life. He said that even in this schedule, when one suffers an injury, the immediate run is toward the doctor, who then prescribes painkillers. The WWE icon said, “Piper/Hogan here is 30 percs” while imitating the doctor. Hulk stated that this used to happen in every city as they traveled, and the exhausting schedule became a part of their livelihood.
Hulk Hogan said that as soon as work lessens with time and one gets less busy, it all starts going downhill. “After the career ends, one tries being at home after years of constant traveling and they do not fit into their own home. The kids do not usually see their dad so often and fail to connect with them like they should,” he said.
The WWE Hall of Famer cited this as an example as he used to hit his turbulence around 8 o’clock in the night, but the scenario in his house does not match with him. Hogan stated that all this is a tragedy that the wrestlers experience along with all the physical tolls. Mr. America then mentioned how the unfortunate death count in this business is also more due to the schedule. He compared other sports with professional wrestling and stated that WWE provides devastation too.

Hulk Hogan elaborates on the turbulence period that he underwent in the night
The Joe Rogan Experience had Hulk Hogan as the guest, and their conversation was a delight to all the wrestling fans. The Hulkster stated the tragic lives of wrestlers and gave his example to explain the issues he faced at home. He revealed that he experienced a turbulent period that he underwent after 8 o’clock at night.
The WWE legend stated that he had programed him for the violence that he missed out on with his family. His work would see him playing cards with Andre the Giant for one minute. But the next minute, it saw them kicking and stomping each other for the sake of practicing the work and performing better in the ring.
Hogan said, “I’m watching American Idol but I’m going, what is WRONG with me”. He stated this period was the turbulence that he needed to get used to. But to rationalize this massive energy, he made sure to have a gym in the house. Where he cranked himself, especially at night, and felt relaxed with the dripping sweat.
