In a recent appearance on “The Stakscast,” WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan shared his experience working with Vince McMahon Sr. in his early days in WWF.
According to The Hulkster, McMahon Sr. wanted him to dye his hair red. However, Hogan wasn’t willing to change his hair color, and he decided not to do it.
Hogan said, “He goes, ‘well, I’ve got Pedro Morales for the Puerto Rican-Americans, and I’ve got Chief Jay Strongbow for the Native-Americans, Bruno Sammartino for the Italian-Americans. I want you instead of being Terry “The Hulk” Boulder, I want you to be Hulk Hogan for the Irish-Americans’. ‘Now here’s two bottles of red dye to dye your hair red.’ I’m going bald headed as it is, if I put this red dye in my hair, the party’s over. When I went back to see Vince McMahon for TV the next day, my hair wasn’t ready, he goes: oh, don’t worry about it, you’re fine. And he just let it go.”
