“I wasn’t aware, I wasn’t educated as far as quality of food and how much quantity I should eat,” he tells the fitness magazine. “I was just hungry all the time. The pre-match meal was probably three Miller Lites and two Tylenols. That was the pre-match meal. And then afterwards, the post-match meal was probably 12 Miller Lites. That’s how it was.” “I just got tired of it,” he explains. “It got to be a way to kind of numb me a little bit because I had a bunch of crazy business problems and personal stuff going on at the time. I caught myself, after I would train, getting too aggressive once again with the alcohol and I just decided to stop.”
Hogan, who earned global recognition as a WWF (now WWE) wrestler after making his debut with the Vince McMahon organization in 1983, has since educated himself, and he now thinks twice about what he puts into his body. But there’s no denying that wrestling for over three decades took a serious toll on his body, resulting in dozens of surgeries. And, as he got older, he realized that slimming down would soothe his painful joints.
