The Mike Tyson/Hulk Hogan Confrontation That No One Remembers: Arsenio Hall | FOUND AFTER 30 YEARS

Published 2021-01-12
In a historical moment that no one discusses, Mike Tyson makes a surprise appearance on The Arsenio Hall Show, and after Hulk Hogan makes his scheduled appearance to hype his main event match with Sgt. Slaughter, Tyson and Hogan have a confrontation -- 7 years before Steve Austin & Tyson!
Bruce Prichard and Hulk Hogan have addressed this potential match in interviews in the past, but the timelines don't match up with the time of this nose-to-nose encounter. Was Tyson & Hogan going to actually happen in 1991, or did these plans get derailed because of actions by Hogan and Tyson in the summer of 1991?

Wrestling and Boxing was definitely at its best back in the 80’s, 90’s, earlier 2000’s!
-
Mike Tyson in his prime was a rolling and menacing wild cat, ready to pounce on anything and everything.
-
Prime Hulk Hogan and Prime Mike Tyson are so symbolic of my childhood
-
You know dam well Hogan was back there shatting his pants when they rolled that clip 🤣
-
Tyson has a better humor than people give him credit for
-
Hogan was larger than life in the 80s and 90s, just a giant of a man!
-
My biggest takeaway is remembering that at one point you actually had to call someone on the phone to ask when something was being shown on TV.
-
OMG that killed me when Arsenio said "I'm taking Mike....during the star spangled banner not even the first round" LMAO
-
Good interview. You can see how much of a salesman Hulk is throughout this, quite the showman. Tyson and Hulk both up for a show when it could lead to potential millions.
-
I never seen this fottage before.Mike Tyson and Hulk Hogan this is a classic..
-
Hulk Hogan and Mike Tyson are two American heroes!! Mike took the long road from being one of the most hated to the most Loved but he did it!
-
Everything he said about the image of Hulkamania at the time was 100% spot on.
-
Arsenio Hall show was so much better than these political BS late night "comics" today
-
Sergeant Slaughter’s trying to get the ‘PYTHONS’ riled up!😂
-
😂😂 Hey that was a great time! Iron Mike & Hulk Hogan on Arsenio Hall !!
-
America was a different time then.... Good ole days
-
It's funny watching this now as an adult and seeing what a salesman Hulk was. I was 10 when this came out and I remember he was such a huge star. He knew how to market to his crowd at the time.
-
"I'm taking Mike during the star spangled banner; not even the first round." Honesty within kayfabe. Respect.
-
This was three days before Wrestlemania 7. I saw this in the hotel I was staying, live. Good times :)
-
When Arsenio put on the Hulkster's jacket it was like a child putting on his daddy's coat lol.
