This week’s episode of Kliq This was meant to be something completely different. But when news breaks that big, there’s no way to ignore it. Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver react in real time to the reported death of Hulk Hogan, a man whose shadow looms large not only over professional wrestling, but over Kevin’s own career. What starts as a tribute quickly turns into something much deeper, much more personal. Kevin doesn’t just reflect on Hogan’s legacy, he walks us through the first time they met, the political chaos surrounding Hogan’s refusal to put Bret Hart over, and the tension that once simmered between them behind the scenes. He opens up about loyalty, mistrust, and those small moments where trust is earned in the ring—like grabbing a handful of tights to protect a legend’s ego after a clean powerbomb. As the episode moves through Hogan’s WCW run and the birth of the NWO, Kevin gets candid about the business decisions and creative pivots that made it all work. From backstage politics to ringside storytelling, he makes it clear how close the whole thing came to never happening. There's a real sense of how risky it was to turn the industry's biggest babyface into its most infamous heel. The conversation shifts again, this time into complicated territory. Sean and Kevin don't sidestep the controversies surrounding Hogan’s personal life and public perception. They grapple with tough questions: How do we separate the artist from the art? Can redemption be earned? And who really has the right to draw that line? Whether you're a lifelong Hulkamaniac, a diehard member of the IWC, or just someone who respects the grind, this episode delivers something raw, real, and unexpected. It’s not just about Hogan—it’s about memory, mortality, and the business of pro wrestling as seen through the eyes of someone who lived it alongside the most polarizing figure the sport has ever known.
