Bret Hart Versus Hulk Hogan

I was baffled when Eric wasted Hart versus Hogan

on a free match at Nitro,

throwing away a guaranteed moneymaker

that the fans had been waiting years for.

The plan, in my view, was insane.

He wanted me to turn babyface during an in-ring interview,

challenge Hogan, then get injured

and have Sting take my place.

When Sting twisted Hogan into his scorpion death lock,

I would limp back out and double-cross Sting

by DDTing him headfirst into the mat, turning heel again.

To turn me heel at this point was so stupid,

it felt like sabotage.

Hulk Hogan I Bought The Name

I own Hulk Hogan, Hulkamania, Hulkster.

I’m one of the few guys who own the name,

rights, trademarks, and licenses.

Vince goes, ‘I want you to be Hulk Hogan.’

‘What does Hulk Hogan mean?’

‘Ivan Putski for the Polish Americans,

Bruno Sammartino for the Italian Americans,

Chief Jay Strongbow for the Native Americans,

and Hulk Hogan for the Irish Americans.’

Vince gave me the name.

Vince Sr dies, Vince Jr takes over.

Right when Hulk Hogan takes off,

we get a call Marvel comics.

‘You’re infringing on our mark. Reasonably similar.

We’re going to sue you, put you in litigation.’

We let them have the name, didn’t license the name.

I only had to pay them one-tenth of 1%.

That went from 1985 to 2005. In 2005, it’s over.

Now, I can’t use Hulk Hogan anymore,

and I’m red hot in 2005.

I went to my attorney,

‘I don’t give a damn what deal you make,

you’re going to make a deal because I need the name.’

What happened was, I got a one-year extension

and I had to pay them 30% of everything I made.

Movies, TV wrestling, they got 30% of everything,

but if they decided to sell the name,

they had to give me first shot at it.

They couldn’t sell the name or do anything.

Fair market value. All of a sudden,

Marvel Comics gets in a bitchfest with WWE

about intellectual properties,

that they can’t re-air old Hulk Hogan matches.

Marvel Comics lost. They owe Vince $35 million.

They made a huge mistake.

They said, ‘Instead of paying $35 million,

how about we give you the Hulk Hogan name.’

I heard about it and went, ‘You screwed up now.’

Now, I don’t have to pay $35 million for the name,

you have to sell it for me for fair money value,’

which is only $750 grand. I bought the name back.

Vince wanted to buy the name from me.

‘Nah, I got this one.’

I bought the name back and I own everything.

Muhammad Ali No Fighter Like Me

Now, a whole lot of people ain't going to like this.

But I'm going to tell you the truth - you asked me.

It's too many great old champions

to go listing them one by one.

But ain't no need to.

I think that Joe Louis, in his prime,

could have whipped them all.

I mean anyone you want to name.

And I would have beat Louis.

- Now, look - people don't like to face the facts.

- All they can think about is Joe Louis' punch.

Well, he did have a punch, just like Liston has a punch.

But if Louis didn't hit nothing but air,

like Liston didn't with me,

then we got to look at other things.

Even if Louis did hit me a few times,

remember they all said Liston was a tougher

one-punch man than even Joe Louis.

And I took some of Liston's best punches.

Remember that.

- Then, too, I'm taller than Louis.

But I tell you what would decide the fight:

I'm faster than Louis was.

No, Louis and none of the rest of them couldn't whip me.

Look - it ain't never been another fighter like me.

Ain't never been no nothing like me.

Bret Hart (The Hitman) Quotes

Bret Sergeant Hart - Canadian-American - Retired professional wrestler, Member of the Hart wrestling family, Second-generation wrestler, Amateur wrestling background at Ernest Manning High School and Mount Royal College. July 02, 1957

04 Quotes Of Bret The Hitman Hart

Triple H is a bodybuilder nut. He goes after the bodies. He doesn't care how good - and he can look in the mirror - guys work; he cares how guys look.


He thought that Hulk Hogan was the greatest wrestler in the world. They think Ultimate Warrior was the greatest wrestler in the world because that's what they're attracted to, but he's not really a wrestling fan like I grew up. I was a wrestling fan.


There’s always some guys… you always wonder how they got there. And I never thought Triple H ever had an idea, original idea, for anything. And I always thought he was overrated. The only reason people even know him or remember him today is because of daddy, daddy-in-law.

Imran Khan True Leader And Courage

A leader must have

the courage

to take bold decisions

and stand by them.

Imran Khan

Imran Khan Quotes

Imran Ahmed Khan Niazi is a Pakistani politician and former cricket captain who served as the 22nd Prime Minister of Pakistan from August 2018 until April 2022, when he was ousted through a no-confidence motion in the National Assembly. He is the founder and chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf. Born: October 5, 1952, Lahore, Pakistan

10 Quotes Of Imran Khan


Compromise for your dreams but never compromise on your dreams.


Talent or Intelligence does not matter. It's your dreams that will decide how big a person you'll become in life.


A condemned poor man, if steals to feed his starving kid, is slammed into prison. Contrast this to a rich man's crime. 


A leader must have the courage to take bold decisions and stand by them.


Imran Khan asked Pakistanis of four things at the historic Lahore gathering.

a. We shall never lie and always speak the truth.

b. Leave our ego’s behind and only think of this Nation, there are 11 crore Pakistanis living beneath poverty line.

c. We shall be brave and break the shackles of fear.

d. We have to bring Justice to this society, even if our friends and relatives do injustice, we shall be fair and bring them to Justice.


A leader should always be ready to take responsibility for his decisions.


When I was older, I found Iqbal's work hugely inspirational. He argued against an unquestioning acceptance of Western democracy as the self-governing model, and instead suggested that by following the rules of Islam a society would tend naturally towards social justice, tolerance, peace and equality. Iqbal's interpretation of Islam differs very widely from the narrow meaning that is sometimes given to it. For Iqbal, Islam is not just the name for certain beliefs and forms of worship. The difference between a Muslim and a non-Muslim is not merely a theological one - it is a difference of a fundamental attitude towards life.


Never give up, no matter how hard life gets no matter how much pain you feel. Pain will eventually subside, nothing remains forever, so keep going and don't give up.


Iqbal not only conceived of a self-governing Muslim state, his passionate voice awakened and activated Indian Muslims, motivating them not only to strive to free themselves from the bondage of imperialism and colonialism, but also to challenge other forms of totalitarian control. Believing fervently in human equality and the right of human beings to dignity, justice and freedom, Iqbal empowered the dis-empowered to stand up and be counted.


I felt like the Islamic scholar Muhammad Abduh (1849-1905), who said on his return from a trip to Europe to his homeland Egypt 'I saw no Muslims in Europe but I saw a lot of Islam,' and of his homeland 'There are a lot of Muslims here but no Islam.'

Imran Khan Talent Intelligence Dreams

Talent or Intelligence does not matter.

It's your dreams that will decide

how big a person you'll become in life.

Imran Khan On Compromise

Compromise for your dreams

But

Never compromise on your dreams.

Muhammad Ali Quotes

American - Boxer January 17, 1942 - June 3, 2016

14 Quotes Of Muhammad Ali


I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.


Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.


I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world. 


The best way to make your dreams come true is to wake up.


What you’re thinking is what you’re becoming.


We can’t be brave without fear.


There are no pleasures in a fight, but some of my fights have been a pleasure to win.


I'm a fighter. I believe in the eye-for-an-eye business. I'm no cheek turner. I got no respect for a man who won't hit back. You kill my dog, you better hide your cat.


Each time I thought I had achieved my life’s purpose; I discovered it was only another step in my journey.


I would like to be remembered as a man who won the heavyweight title three times. Who was humorous and who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him, and who helped as many people as he could. As a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what. As a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love. And if all that's too much, then I guess I’d settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people. And I wouldn’t even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was.


Champions aren't made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them: A desire, a dream, and a vision. They have to have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, and they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.
