Part 6/9:
Perhaps one of the more distasteful tales from Hogan is the heartbreaking story involving a Make-A-Wish child he supposedly met at SummerSlam 1992, who tragically passed away before the match. However, Hogan was not part of the SummerSlam card that year, leading many to believe the entire story was fabricated, possibly muddled with another event.
The Legends of Him and UFC
Hogan has also stated he was approached by UFC during its formative years, expressing concern over fighters getting hurt due to referee negligence. His claims were quickly debunked by Campbell McLaren, a UFC co-founder, who affirmed that Hogan never had discussions with UFC officials. This adds yet another layer to Hogan's tendency to spin tales that elevate his persona but lack any grounding in reality.
