All Elite Wrestling commentator Tony Schiavone recently discussed several professional wrestling topics on his podcast, “What Happened When,” including the heat between Hulk Hogan and Vader.
Schiavone said, “I think because we saw the angle too — when they played the package, there was real heat between the two, what happened backstage there [in WWE]. So yeah, because — I mean, let’s talk about it like this. If this ended up being a shoot, right? Who would win? I think for all his luster and all the character he’s portrayed, and all the heat he’s taken, I think Hogan was a lot tougher than you thought back then.”
On whether Hulk Hogan would have been a World Champion today.
“Well, yeah, ’80s music wouldn’t work today. And Hulk was a champion. Of course, during what I think in my life, when I remember great times — and I know I was having kids, I was married in the ’80s. Still, to me the ’80s were the greatest decade of all time. And one of the things you remember during the 80s is Hulkamania. So yeah, Hulk wouldn’t be a World Champion today.”
