Forget “The Osbournes”, “Newlyweds”, and “Brittney and Kevin” there is a new fly on the wall series in town. “Hogan Knows Best” is taking TMF by storm, the show which follows the home life of wrestling great Hulk Hogan must have doubled the channels ratings to at least 12 people.
“Hogan Knows Best” is great fun, for example in one episode the “Hulkster” tries to book a table at a restaurant using his celebrity status, unfortunately the maitre’d hadn’t herd of him (obviously he had never seen “Thunder in Paradise”).
The best episode however was where Hulk and Mrs Hulk went away for the night and got retired Wrestler Brian Knobbs to baby site the kids. The original “Nasty Boy” was never the sharpest tool in the box, he’s the kind of person you would only make the news in a “Wrestler gets his head caught in park railings” story. Knobbs now cuts a rather sad figure walking with a crutch due to an old injury his days of wild parties now exchanged for drinking a few beers in front of the TV.
Anyway Hogan’s 14 year old son run poor old Knobbs ragged: Sealing his clothes while he was in the shower, stealing a golf cart from the local course, and having his 14 year old girlfriend stay over using the old “but my parents let me" line. The funniest part though was watching Knobbs trying to get the young Hogan down from the exposed roof beams by hoping around and drunkenly swinging his crutch at him, shouting “come down before I stick this crutch up your arse and turn you into a human popsicle”.
Who’s the “Nasty Boy” now?
