“I wanted to become the Babe Ruth of the WWF. I wanted to go down as the guy that was responsible for the foundation of what we’ve laid out.”

As a Christmas gift to listeners, Brian R. Solomon has dug into his audio archives for this 2002 interview with Hulk Hogan.

Recorded at Hogan’s home in Clearwater, Florida, shortly after Hogan’s historic match with The Rock at WrestleMania X8, it’s a snapshot of a moment in time, with Hulkamania breaking loose in WWE one last time.

The Hulkster discussed his comeback, his falling out with the comeback, his legacy and so much more, including a look back at his most iconic in-ring rivals.
