On the latest episode of Something To Wrestle With, JBL talked about Hulk Hogan claiming that The Undertaker dropped him on his head while hitting a tombstone at the 1991 Survivor Series. You can check out some highlights below:
On the incident: “Devastating. I mean, the guy that slammed The Giant, you come in and you’re the new guy. And all of a sudden, you hurt the guy — or he claims that you hurt the guy that he claims you did. I mean, that is a terrible thing to put on a person to say that they’re unsafe. I mean, that’s a career killer. People don’t want to work with you. And Hogan, who didn’t have any problems working with anybody, all of a sudden, makes up — and you could tell by the freaking video, Taker wasn’t close to hurting him. It was like when freaking Kane Tombstoned Linda McMahon, he made sure that woman was perfectly safe. Like when I freaking pushed Mrs. Guerrero down, I made sure that woman’s perfectly safe.”
On the issue with making a claim: “ Taker took care of him. And then all of a sudden, he gets labeled with that? I thought that’s a pretty sorry thing, a pretty rotten thing to do. And I don’t mean to — you know, talk about Hogan [badly]. I thought that was uncalled for, to do something like that just to get time off. You know, Vader wanted time off, that’s when he pretended to blow up his head in Austin that time, and underneath the pyro. Like he just wanted to go home.”
