Fumi Saito knew Hulk Hogan for over 40 years, going back to the AWA when they both lived in Minnesota.

On this episode of Pacific Rim, Fumi talks about Hulk Hogan before WWE, Hogan’s first tour in NJPW, how Stan Hansen and Andre the Giant mentored and helped Terry Bollea better define the image and wrestling style of Hulk Hogan, which match in Japan earned Hogan nearly $250,000 in today’s money, and Fumi’s stories about his friend Terry away from the ring.

It’s nearly two hours of Pacific Rim. Check it.
