Hulk Hogan Recalls Vince McMahon Laying Out His Early Plan For WWE

Hulk Hogan recently looked back on when Vince McMahon pitched him on the notion of WWE’s expansion. The WWE Hall of Famer told the story of McMahon pitching his plan to expand the company beyond a regional promotion on the Patrick Bet-David Podcast, and you can see highlights below (per Wrestling Inc):

On McMahon’s pitch: “He had this master plan. He goes: ‘I’ve got this idea; I want to take over the whole world. Not just a regional promotion.”

On being fired by Vince Sr. over Rocky III: “When I told him I was going to do the movie, [Vince Sr.] goes ‘Well, Terry’ – you know, my first name of course – ‘You’re a wrestler, not an actor.'”
