Hulk Hogan has claimed he was the catalyst for wrestlers getting entrance music in WWE.

Hogan recently appeared on Try That in a Small Town Podcast to talk about his journey from an aspiring rock star to one of pro wrestling’s greatest attractions.

During the conversation, the multi-time Hall of Famer claimed he was denied entrance music for his career-defining MSG bout against the Iron Sheik by the WWE. However, Hogan says he pushed it through by paying a production guy to play “Eye of the Tiger” for his entrance.

Hulk Hogan says he paid $500 to make sure he got music​

“The cool thing about it was they told me no music,” Hogan said. “So I went to the sound guy and said, ‘The hell with this.’ [I get] ‘Eye of the Tiger’ cranking. I gave him 500 bucks. And when that music started, that dump, dump, dump, dump, the roof of the place blew off.

“Then I told Vince, ‘Man, I’ve been selling merchandise, T-shirts and headbands and hats and koozies and wristbands and making a ton of money doing it because nobody else is the man.’ Vince picked up on it real quick and it just took off. And then everybody wanted entrance music. So Jimmy Hart sat up all night, most nights, writing entrance music for all the wrestlers.”

It’s unclear how much, if any, of Hogan’s story is true. He did use “Eye of the Tiger” for a brief period before transitioning to his classic “Real American” theme song. That song, however, was not written for Hogan, as it was originally used for Barry Windham and Mike Rotunda.

For years, Hulk Hogan claimed a missed phone call was the reason he missed out on putting his name on the famed George Foreman Grill. However, that claim was recently debunked. Bret Hart also recently revealed the most truthful thing Hulk Hogan has ever said.
