Ep 234: What's Up Doc (Hulk Hogan: Real American)
from Pop Culture Pastor · host David Remboldt
Hulk Hogan spent so long being Hulk Hogan that the man underneath, Terry Bollea, may have disappeared entirely. We watched the Netflix documentary "Hulk Hogan: Real American," his final interview before his death, and Dave, Cody, & DJ Dangerfield dig into all of it. What do we sacrifice to be famous? Was anything ever bigger than Hulkamania at its peak? Why did he lie about the steroids when the truth would have set him free? We talk kayfabe in wrestling, in the church, and in our politics, and the question we leave open at the end: is a legacy the sum of our choices, or the moments we made people feel seen? This one runs long and goes deep.Bonus: Our friend Kiefer shares some poignant thoughts on the trouble of kayfabe mixed with geopolitics.
