My wife and I were staying in a moderately upscale Los Angeles area hotel and the shower in our room wasn't draining properly. My wife called the front desk but nobody was answering so I went downstairs to see why not.

Hulk Hogan was in the lobby with a large entourage. Many other people were jostling one another for a chance to get his autograph. His assistants were discouraging photographs.

Hogan himself looked a little irritated.

It was a complete circus and the desk staff were all busy with that, so I just went back upstairs and we suffered the slow draining shower.

So yeah, I guess he was a big deal.
