Ric Flair doesn’t think WWE stars owe the late Hulk Hogan for their success in Hollywood.
In an interview with Escapist Magazine, Ric Flair was asked if today’s wrestlers-turned-actors, like John Cena and The Rock, owe something to Hogan for paving the way. Flair said Hulk Hogan’s movies never achieved much success, even though Hogan was one of the first wrestlers to try acting. He noted that while Hogan’s films fell flat, John Cena and Dwayne Johnson have become hugely successful.
“Hulk’s movies suck! They didn’t go anywhere! John and Dwayne are making a lot of money. Especially Dwayne, he’s the most entertaining son of a b*tch alive. He kills me. I go back and look at his old stuff and he was funny as hell.”
When asked about his favorite or worst Hulk Hogan movie, Ric Flair named Santa with Muscles. He said, “The one where we played Santa Claus. It was horrible.”
However, he explained that breaking into movies is difficult for some.
“But it’s hard to go off and take off into the movies. I tried it one time. They get up at 6:00 AM. And with The Rock and John, they’re going to get their workouts done first. Then it’s take, retake, retake, take, retake, retake. Then they work till eight at night. They have dinner, they get up and start it over again. I was never cut out for that. I would’ve needed a mid altar by 11:00 AM.”
