    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The movie was produced by star Hulk Hogan and his boss, World Wrestling Federation head honcho Vince McMahon, only to be distributed by New Line Cinema after completion. When the first draft of the script was turned in, Hogan and McMahon disapproved of it, so they checked into a hotel in Redington Beach, Florida, and stayed up for 72 hours rewriting the script together.
    • Goofs
      In the ring scenes, Hogan wears the WWF "Winged Eagle" belt, the one used by the WWF from 1988-1998. In the dressing room scenes before his match with Zeus, he has the "XL" championship belt, the one never used by the WWF but designed to be worn by Andre The Giant.
    • Quotes
      • Rip Thomas: What's that SMELL?
      • Limo Driver: Dooo... dooo... doookie!
      • Rip Thomas: [disgusted] "Dookie"?
    • Alternate versions
      In the theatrical version, the film ends with a shot of Rip alone in the ring giving the "Rip 'Em!" sign before fading out to the end credits. In the original home video release, the film ends with a shot of Rip and Randy hugging each other in the ring, though the sound Rip makes as he does the "Rip 'Em!" sign is still audible before fading to the end credits. The 2012 DVD from WWE Studios restores the original theatrical closing shot.
