WWE Hall of Famer โ€œThe Immortalโ€ Hulk Hogan recently spoke with The Stakscast on a number of topics including how Vince McMahon Sr. told him to dye his hair red because he wanted Hogan to be Hulk Hogan for the Irish-Americans instead of Terry โ€œThe Hulkโ€ Boulder.

Hogan said, โ€œHe goes, โ€˜well, Iโ€™ve got Pedro Morales for the Puerto Rican-Americans, and Iโ€™ve got Chief Jay Strongbow for the Native-Americans, Bruno Sammartino for the Italian-Americans. I want you instead of being Terry โ€œThe Hulkโ€ Boulder, I want you to be Hulk Hogan for the Irish-Americansโ€™. โ€˜Now hereโ€™s two bottles of red dye to dye your hair red.โ€™ Iโ€™m going bald headed as it is, if I put this red dye in my hair, the partyโ€™s over. When I went back to see Vince McMahon for TV the next day, my hair wasnโ€™t ready, he goes: oh, donโ€™t worry about it, youโ€™re fine. And he just let it go.โ€
