Was at the Sheppards' Tiki bar back then.  Running things back and forth from the boat anchored nearby.  I ran into Hulk and spilled his drink.  As I looked up at who I just ran into I saw it was Hulk.. 

I apologized but called him "Mr. Bollea"  He snapped back at me "What did you call me?" I replied (a little worried) "Mr. Bollea.  That is your name isn't it, Terry Bollea?"

He began laughing and told me "Don't worry about it kid.  I'll get another."

Met him many times since then but that first one always stands out for me.  I thought he was going to kill that day.  Even the guys I was working for were laughing at me on that one.

He was probably more shocked than angry at the name you used. Back then he birth name wasn't exactly common knowledge, some kmew his first name was Terry since it was put on some WWF, now WWE, stats. I was a HUGE Hulkamaniac and didn't know his full name until well after 2000. Then again in a restaurant you could've seen his name on his credit card or something like that, I get thanked by name all the time when I use my cards at most stores. Regardless it's a nice story and a good memory.
