The final chapter of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White is not really about wrestling anymore. It is about what happens when Terry Bollea finally becomes impossible to separate from Hulk Hogan. In Part 8, 10 Bell Pod follows Hogan through his disastrous TNA years, the failed Monday Night War reboot, his final matches, and the quiet end of his in ring career. Then the story leaves wrestling behind. We get into the Gawker lawsuit, the racist recordings that permanently shattered Hogan’s public image, WWE firing him, the Peter Thiel funded legal battle that helped destroy Gawker and Hogan’s eventual return to WWE. We also follow the last chapter of Terry Bollea’s life: his declining health, repeated surgeries, political turn, Real American Beer, his death in 2025, and the conspiracy theories and controversy that followed. Then finally, after eight episodes, we ask the question that sits underneath the entire series: What do you do with Hulk Hogan now?

After the collapse of WCW, Hulk Hogan looked finished. Then WrestleMania 18 happened. In Part 7 of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod follows Hogan through one of the strangest late career resurrections in wrestling history. The response from WM 18 launched one final Hulkamania run. He turns babyface, brings back the red and yellow, wins his 6th WWE title, teams with Edge, puts over Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar and fights Vince McMahon at WrestleMania 19. We also follow Hogan into the nostalgia years, his WWE Hall of Fame induction, the infamous Shawn Michaels match, Randy Orton, and Hogan Knows Best. Then the image starts falling apart. There’s Nick Hogan’s devastating car crash, the leaked jail calls, a bitter divorce, depression, increasingly strange wrestling appearances. All of which, begin stripping away the carefully constructed public persona.

Are you ready to destroy 50 years of NWA history? I know I am! After Starrcade 97, WCW had everything it needed to finish the nWo story, crown Sting as its conquering hero, and move into the future. But WCW gonna WCW. In Part 6, 10 Bell Pod follows Hollywood Hogan through the final chaotic years of WCW, as the nWo fractures into Hollywood and Wolfpac factions, and the company repeatedly struggles to move beyond the stars the story that made it successful. We discuss Goldberg, The Georgia Dome, Rodzilla vs Karl Malone, Jay Leno for some reason, The Ultimate Warrior rematch, The Fingerpoke of Doom, Hogan’s return to the red & yellow, Vince Russo and the increasingly humiliating final years of WCW. Everything eventually leads back to Bash at the Beach 2000, where Hulk Hogan walks out of WCW for the final time.

After betraying WCW at Bash at the Beach 1996, Hulk Hogan did something almost nobody thought possible: he became even bigger. In Part 5 of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod follows the rise of Hollywood Hogan and the New World Order as they completely reshape pro wrestling. We revisit the black & white nWo takeover, Hogan’s battles with Roddy Piper and Lex Luger, rocking out to Voodoo Child, tagging with Dennis Rodman, and the year long transformation of Sting from WCW franchise player into the silent grumpy man waiting in the rafters. Then comes Starrcade 1997.

In Part 4 of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod follows Hogan through the strange, messy years between the end of peak Hulkamania and the birth of Hollywood Hogan. We discuss the failed Ultimate Warrior handoff, the Earthquake feud, Sgt. Slaughter & WrestleMania 7, Undertaker’s controversial title win, the 1992 Royal Rumble backlash, and the steroid scandal. Then comes the infamous WrestleMania 9 title win, a failed Hollywood detour, his exit from WWF, and a blockbuster move to WCW. Get it Blockbuster because WCW…. Whatever. But the red and yellow act that once changed wrestling was getting stale fast. As fans increasingly turned on him, Hogan steamrolled through Ric Flair, Vader, the Dungeon of Doom, PastaMania, monster trucks, The Yeti, and some of the strangest wrestling WCW ever produced. By 1996, Hulkamania needed a complete reinvention. Then, Scott Hall hopped the guardrail.

In Part 3 of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod examines the defining run of Hogan’s career. We start with his January 23, 1984 WWF Championship victory over The Iron Sheik and the national expansion that followed. With cable television, MTV, celebrity involvement, Saturday Night’s Main Event, merchandising, and WrestleMania, Vince McMahon transformed Hogan from wrestling superstar into one of the most recognizable figures in American culture. We cover the birth of the WWF boom, the Rock ’n’ Wrestling era, WrestleMania I and II, the destruction of the territory system, Hogan’s historic rivalry with Andre the Giant, the formation and collapse of the Mega Powers, the rise of Randy Savage, and the Ultimate Warrior challenge that closed the decade. We also examine the machinery beneath it: Vince McMahon’s aggressive national takeover, wrestlers classified as independent contractors, and Jesse Ventura’s allegation that Hogan informed McMahon about an attempted union before WrestleMania 2. This is the story of Hulk Hogan at his absolute peak: the hero, the corporate mascot, the cultural phenomenon, and the man whose choices helped shape professional wrestling for generations.

Before Hulk Hogan returned to the WWF and transformed professional wrestling, Hulkamania was already running wild. In Part Two of Hulk Hogan: Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod follows Terry Bollea through the most important developmental years of his career. Hogan debuts in the Northeast under Vince McMahon Sr., battles Andre the Giant years before WrestleMania III, tours Japan, leaves wrestling for the role of Thunderlips in Rocky III, and emerges from Hollywood with a level of fame the wrestling establishment could no longer contain. The story then moves to the AWA, where Hogan developed the character, promos, look, and audience connection that would define Hulkamania. We also get into New Japan, his victory in the inaugural 1983 IWGP tournament, the title win AWA fans were repeatedly denied, and the merchandise dispute that helped drive him back to New York.

In the opening chapter of Hogan Hogan Red, Yellow, Black & White, 10 Bell Pod traces the complicated origin of Hulk Hogan, from his childhood in Tampa, years playing bass in local bands to his brutal training under Hiro Matsuda, early matches as the masked Super Destroyer, partnership with Ed Leslie as the Boulder Brothers, and rapid education across the wrestling territories of Florida, Alabama, Memphis, and Georgia. Before Hulkamania transformed professional wrestling, Terry Bollea was a shy wrestling fan, working musician and a young athlete trying to find his place in the pro wrestling territory system. This is not the polished WWE version of Hulk Hogan’s rise. It is the messier story of how Terry Bollea learned wrestling, developed his look, discovered the name “Hulk,” crossed paths with Andre the Giant, Jerry Lawler, Harley Race, Bret Hart, and slowly assembled the pieces of the character that would eventually change professional wrestling forever. It is also the beginning of a larger examination: The divide between Hulk Hogan, the hero who inspired generations, and Terry Bollea, the deeply flawed man who steadily damaged the legacy he created.

August 9th, we begin our coverage on Hulk Hogan
The new series will be here August 6th and it's going straight to video. The future is now old man.
If you want one of the most underrated stories in wrestling history, Doc Roller is it. In this episode, I explore the wild life of Doc Roller, a real physician, college athlete, early professional football player, professor, and pro wrestler who somehow managed to be all of those things at once. From his rise through medicine and athletics to his time in the ring with names like Frank Gotch, Farmer Burns, Fred Beell, George Hackenschmidt, Great Gama, Joe Stecher, and Ed “Strangler” Lewis, Roller’s story sits at the crossroads of sports, spectacle, and the weird birth of modern pro wrestling.

Farmer Burns stands at the foundation of American pro wrestling history. Martin “Farmer” Burns was a catch wrestling pioneer, champion, trainer, and physical culture evangelist whose influence helped shape both amateur and professional wrestling forever. This episode looks into his farm boy beginnings in Iowa, his rise through carnivals, challenge matches, and catch as catch can competition, to his later role training legends like Frank Gotch and influencing figures tied to the birth of modern pro wrestling. This is the story of one of the most important names in wrestling history, even if modern fans rarely hear it. Farmer Burns was not just a great wrestler from the 1800s. He was a bridge between real grappling, carnival hustle, early sports culture, and the future of professional wrestling.

For video be sure to check out Spotify or YouTube Long before Vince McMahon turned wrestling into a national empire, Jack Curley was helping reshape the business from the ground up. In this episode, I dig into the wild life and lasting influence of one of wrestling’s earliest great promoters, a carny, boxing fixer, media manipulator, and big city hustler who helped drag pro wrestling out of saloons and sideshows and into major venues. This is not just the story of a forgotten promoter. It is the story of how wrestling evolved from rough spectacle into organized entertainment.

In this offseason video episode ,I dig into the life and legacy of one of wrestling’s most feared heels, a brawler whose violence, chaos and riot starting reputation helped lay the groundwork for generations of hardcore wrestling. This is not just the story of an old territory villain. It's the story of a wrestler who helped redefine heel heat, made brutality a selling point, and became a legend everywhere he went. From the carnival world to Texas Brass Knuckles title, Bull Curry stands as one of wrestling history’s most important forgotten wrestlers.

Here's another offseason video episode. If your app is just doing audio, you can find the video on YouTube and Spotify. Monster Ripper should be remembered as one of the most accomplished women wrestlers of her era, NOT as the short lived WWF character Bertha Faye. In this episode, I trace Rhonda Sing’s journey from Calgary dreamer to international powerhouse, following her rise through AJW, Stampede, Puerto Rico, and beyond. What should be a legacy defined by toughness, innovation, and worldwide success instead sadly became a cautionary tale of how American wrestling, and especially WWE, could reduce a world class talent into a punchline.

In this off-season video episode of 10 Bell Pod, I dive deep into the life and legacy of a wild, unpredictable brawler who helped redefine what a pro wrestler could be: Pampero Firpo. From his origins in Argentina to becoming a traveling attraction across the United States, Japan, Hawaii, and beyond, Firpo built a career as a chaotic force of nature. This isn’t just wrestling history. It’s rediscovery. Firpo’s intense, unorthodox style broke away from traditional wrestling norms, his eerie presentation and use of Chimu helped introduce mystical elements into the business, and his influence quietly echoes through generations, most notably in legends like Randy Savage. At his peak, Firpo was a true territory superstar, a headliner who could walk into any city, any promotion, and instantly feel like the most dangerous man in the building. But like many legends of his era, his legacy has faded with time, reduced to footnotes and passing references. Pampero, is way more than that.
In this off-season video episode, I dive into the wild, complicated, and often misunderstood story of Yukon Moose Cholak. Moose was 30+ year territory veteran who lived through nearly every era of professional wrestling’s evolution. Moose Cholak was a towering presence, a road warrior who bounced from promotion to promotion and someone that left behind stories that didn't always end up in the history books. I'll talk about his time in Chicago & The Midwest, working the territory wrestling system and a rumored clash with a global icon. But this isn’t just a story about a man in a moose head. This is a deep dive into the forgotten backbone of professional wrestling: the workers who weren’t always the main event, but made the main event possible. The trusted hands. The territory grinders. The wrestlers who could win, lose, draw, and still keep the entire machine running.

I'm back with another off-season solo show and wrestling history deep cut. Colonel James Hiram McLaughlin was a Civil War officer, a traveling attraction, train conductor, Klondike gold miner and arguably the first true American professional wrestling champion. We're going all the way back to the 1800s again to uncover the brutal, chaotic, and often unbelievable origins of pro wrestling through the life of one of JH. McLaughlin was a force of nature. A legit grappler in both collar and elbow and catch as catch can and his matches were real, violent, and sometimes deadly.

I'm back with another video episode and pro wrestling history deep dive. In this episode of 10 Bell Pod, I uncover the incredible and largely forgotten story of one of the earliest Black professional wrestlers in American history Viro "Black Sam" Small. A man born into slavery who rose to become a feared competitor in the brutal world of 19th century combat sports. Drawing from scarce historical records and early newspaper accounts, this is a deep dive into a time when wrestling lived in carnivals, saloons, and underground fight clubs, where matches blurred the line between sport and survival. More than just a wrestling story, this is about America during Reconstruction, the fight for opportunity, and how entire legacies can vanish if no one is there to preserve them.
