10 Things you probably did not know about Hulk Hogan

#5 Learning from the best and breaking his leg

The guy on the extreme right is Hiro Matsuda

Hulk Hogan started his wrestling training under Hiro Matsuda. During his first training session, Hogan was pushed to the limit. Matsuda had a rule of working out rookies till they were going to faint and he employed the same tactics with Hogan. The difference was: Hogan did not faint, he broke his leg. Hogan was not ready to give up and returned when he recovered.

Hogan later stopped working with Matsuda when he realized that Matsuda was an overbearing trainer. In case you wanted to know the superstars that Matsuda trained, here is the list: Keiji Mutoh, Paul Orndorff, Scott Hall, Lex Luger, Bob Orton Jr., Ron Simmons.
