Each month in 2009 we are featuring a vintage Torch Talk from our 20+ year library of career-spanning insider interviews with pro wrestling biggeset names in audio format for the first time ever. Last month featured a 1993 interview with "British Bulldog" Davey Boy Smith. This month we are featuring a 2002 interview with Hulk Hogan.

The 90 minute Torch Talk interview with Hogan is the longest interview he's ever done and the only interview he's ever done with an insider publication that covered dozens of the most controversial subjects of his career. They include:

-His strong opinion on the Bret Hart Survivor Series incident.

-His thoughts on how he was misused and disagreed with Vince McMahon regarding his final run full-time feuding with Brock Lesnar.

-How he compares his WrestleMania matches with Andre the Giant and The Rock. He has a strong favorite between the two, and his reasons may surprise you.

-Reaction to accusations that he sabotaged Ricky Steamboat's WWF career after Steamboat "stole the show" against Randy Savage at WrestleMania III.

-Reaction to accusations that undercut both Bret Hart and Ric Flair when they headlined a WCW PPV that matched the buyrates for his PPVs during the same timeframe.

-Was lying about his history of steroid use on the Arsenio Hall Show the biggest mistake of his career?

-What did Shane McMahon tell his son Nick Hogan when Nick said he might be working for him some day?

-What really happened with Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett in WCW that led to a protracted lawsuit, and would he work with Russo or Jarrett again as a result?

-What did he include in the original transcript of his autobiography that was taken out? There was an entire chapter on one person that was removed!

-What he thinks are the main causes of the downfall of WCW.

-Why did he testify the way he did at the Vince McMahon steroid trial, and does he boldly credit himself for keeping Vince McMahon of prison?

-Why he thinks many of his selfish actions over the years behind the scenes politically were justified.

-How he compares his legacy and in-ring skill to Hulk Hogan

-Harsh thoughts on Jesse Ventura, one of his least favorite people.

-And much, much more! Many of these subjects he has never talked about before and hasn't since.
