Belzer v. Bollea

The crazy thing is that both these guys are now dead before their time.  And, I can't really watch the video of Belzer getting choked out.  It is part of the lore of Belzer and Hogan.  Both of them have had huge impacts on pop culture.  

This video gives you a lot of insight into the lore behind the incident.  Belzer was the host of some shitty talk show on Lifetime.  Keep in mind that Lifetime aired reruns of Homicide: Life on the Streets, which co-starred Richard Belzer.  I watched most of the Homicide episodes on Lifetime.  

It seems Mr. T was having a bad day, and Hogan was being Hogan.  

You have Hogan, a racist liar, Mr. T, a crazy man, and Belzer, a strange comedian.  Mr.T and Hogan have had a long relationship.  They both were in Rocky III.  Hogan guest-starred in The A-Team.   Mr. T would appear at many WWE and WCW events alongside Hogan.  Heck, Mr. T showed up on Hogan's debut on WCW.  

Side note:  Belzer would throw shade on Hogan over the years and rightfully so.
