built 645 days ago
Hulk Hogan is the stage name of Terry Bollea, one of the superstars of professional wrestling from its 1980s heyday. Bollea joined the World Wrestling Federation in 1979. His rise in the ring coincided with the expansion of the WWF, and Hogan became a star through live events and pay-per-view television. His career got a big boost early on from an appearance with Sylvester Stallone in the movie Rocky III (1983), and by the late '80s "Hulkamania" was in full swing. Hogan was headlined live events like Wrestlemania and became an all-around TV celebrity on talk shows and MTV. Easily recognized by his extra-large frame, long white hair and handlebar mustache, Hogan's trademarks included feather boas, torn shirts and leg drops.

Hulk Hogan was ... responsible for ending World War II when he dropped the Atomic Leg-drop on the dirty Japanese. Hulk Hogan was also used as a stunt cock in the gay scenes from the movie Brokeback Mountain. A make-up assistant and two costumers were startled by what appeared to be a third led growing from Hogans groin, but they were quickly put at ease when they realized that it was the other 24 inch python that Hogan was always bragging about.
