This is one of Hogan's oldest stories that never dies. As he said on the 2002 "Hulk Rules" DVD, Hogan was defending the WWE title on a tour of Japan in 1985 and faced Tatsu mi Fujinami.

Hulk Hogan is rumored to return at Saturday Night's Main Event later this month. WWE analyst Sam Roberts recently suggested The Hulkster could make a surprising heel turn upon his comeback.
