While talking on the "PBD Podcast," Hogan revealed a celebrity interaction that gave him the jitters.
"Now, I met tons and tons of celebrities. Met a lot of people, Michael Jackson, met a lot of people ... and this is kind of weird, but the first time I really freaked out and started shaking and got nervous and the only person that's ever happened was when I met Jerry Springer," Hogan said.
The two-time WWE Hall of Famer revealed that he was a huge Jerry Springer fan. Aside from his chance meeting with Springer, another celebrity interaction left "The Hulkster" in bewilderment.
"I was sitting at the Twin Towers one day with my wife at Vince [McMahon]'s birthday party, and this cop comes up and tapes me on the shoulder. He goes, 'Oh, Cher, her limo for you, it's downstairs. She wants you to come over and have dinner with her," Hogan recalled.
