This article was written back when kayfabe was still alive and well, so everything this article says would have been "inside information" back then.
"He's Hulk Hogan and no one else," says WWF publicist Mike Weber. The WWF reveals nothing of Hogan's background and won't arrange interviews if the past will be a subject. Says Weber: "The mystery of Hulk Hogan is what makes him him."

Then the car drove away, the noise subsided and the boy started right up."
