In Rocky III, Sylvester Stallone faced off against one of the all-time greatest professional wrestlers, Hulk Hogan. In a particular fight scene, Hogan inflicted such a serious injury on his co-star that he didn’t even glance at the hurt shoulder.
In a ‘Superstar to Superstar’ interview, the two icons engaged in a conversation about the movie Rocky III. During the interaction, the WWE star inquired from Sylvester Stallone about the most severe injury he had experienced while filming. Without hesitation, The Expendables actor recounted how the injury during the scene with Hogan had left him deeply traumatized, as reported by WWE.com.
Sylvester Stallone said, “Truthfully, the hardest I was ever hit was actually by you, Hulk Hogan. We didn’t put it in the movie [Rocky III] because I was so traumatized. It was where you threw me into a corner and you leapt up, and you were really, really light on your feet that day, for 310 pounds. You went up and caught me with your shin, believe it or not, on my collarbone. I collapsed to the ground. I’ll never forget, I was laying there and I was thinking, ‘I don’t want to look. I don’t want to look because that bone is sticking through my flesh and it’s over. Here’s the end of the movie.’”
Although the pain was excruciating, Sylvester Stallone was concerned that his bone might have punctured his skin, but fortunately, such a scenario did not occur.
