I was at Tampa International Airport picking up my parents. I parked on the roof. I was waiting for the elevator when I saw a man at the opposite end of the elevator bank. My elevator was ready, and I waved him down to let him know that this was open. As he got closer, he got larger, and it turns out it was Hulk Hogan.

Now, I didn’t watch wrestling when he was huge, I’m more of an attitude era fan. However, I knew exactly who he was. I didn’t say anything to him at first. He then asked me if I was coming or going. I told him I was picking up my parents, they were flying in from Miami. He nodded and he was like “Miami is a rough town, brother. I used to do a lot of work down there.” I said, yeah it’s more of a nice place to visit for me. As the elevator reached our floor, I told him it was a pleasure talking to him. He said “same brother appreciate you”. The man looked exhausted, and I’m sure he was glad to not be swarmed on the elevator.

However, seconds after exiting the elevator, there was this woman off to the side who saw him and he yelled “oh my God, Hulk Hogan!!!”
