2:54
Wrestlemania X8 in 2002 and a face off
2:57
with Andre the Giant at WM3 and had
3:00
memorable feuds with Ultimate Warrior
3:02
and Randy Savage. Hulk was inducted into
3:06
the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

3:13
erupted over racists comments while he
3:15
was being secretly recorded during a
3:17
sexual encounter. Gawker posted the clip
3:20
and Hulk subsequently sued, winning the
3:23
lawsuit. Hulk was inducted a second time

3:44
achieve global recognition in the
3:46
1980s."
3:47

3:51
family, friends, and fans. Hulk was the
3:54
star of the 2024 Republican National
3:57
Convention when he set the room ablaze
4:00
with theatrics. Hulk had an amazingly
4:03
successful movie career beginning in
4:05
1982 with Rocky 3 playing the iconic
4:09

4:12
in No Holds Bard, Suburban Commando, and

4:50
of pop cultures most recognizable
4:52

4:56
recognition with the Hulkammania craze
4:58
of the 1980s and reignited sports
5:00
entertainment's popularity in the 1990s
5:03
through his leadership of the New World
5:05
Order in WCW.
5:08
Whether he was a hero or villain, clad
5:10
in red and yellow or black and white,
5:12
the Hulkster was always one of the
5:14
ring's most popular and enduring stars.
5:17
Hogan abandoned a career in music with
5:19
his Tampa, Florida based band Ruckus
5:22
when he was discovered by WWE Hall of
5:25
Famers Jack and Jerry Brisco. In 1977,
5:30
Hogan began training with Hiro Matsuda,
5:32
who intentionally broke Hogan's lower
5:34
leg just to see if he was passionate
5:36
enough to return to training in the ring
5:39
or would instead return to playing bass
5:41
guitar. A year later, on August 10th,
5:44
1977,
5:46
Hogan had his first match against B.
5:48
Brian Blair in Fort Meyers, Florida for
5:52
Championship Wrestling from Florida.
5:54
Hogan competed under a mask as Super
5:57
Destroyer in Florida and then teamed
5:59
with his friend Ed Leslie, who would
6:01
become Brutus Beefcake as brothers Terry
6:03
and Ed Boulder in Alabama, Tennessee,
6:05
and Georgia. It was after appearing on a
6:08
local talk show in Memphis with TV's
6:11
Incredible Hulk, Lou Faringo, that he
6:13
began calling himself Terry the Hulk
6:16
Boulder because he was so much larger
6:18
than Fingo. He first appeared in WWE in
6:22
1979 and was named Hulk Hogan by Vincent
6:26
J. Mcmah as a villain. Hogan defeated
6:29
the future milliondoll man Ted Deise in
6:32
his first match at Madison Square
6:34
Garden, challenged Bob Bund for the WWE
6:38
Championship and collided with Andre the
6:40
Giant 8 years before Wrestlemania 3 in
6:43
August 1980 at New York City's Shea
6:45
Stadium. After appearing in Rocky 3,
6:49
Hogan spent the next three years
6:51
competing for Vern Ganzau and Antonio
6:54
Anokei's New Japan Pro Wrestling. Hogan
6:57
then made the move to WWE where he
7:00
defeated the Iron Shake to become to WWE
7:03
Champion on January 23rd, 1984,
7:06
beginning a pop culture craze that would
7:09
be known as Hulkammania. For nearly a
7:11
decade, WWE and Hulkammania's footprints
7:15
grew together. WWE expanded to
7:18
nationally syndicated television, then
7:21
pay-per- purview with Hogan headlining
7:23
in a litany of classics, including
7:25
teaming with television's biggest star,
7:28
Mr. T, at the first Wrestlemania and
7:31
defeating Andre the Giant in front of
7:33
more than 93,000 fans at Wrestlemania 3.
7:37
All told, Hulk Hogan racked up an
7:40
unprecedented five WWE Championships,
7:43
main evented Wrestlemania eight times,
7:46
and sold millions of t-shirts, toys, and
7:48
anything else you could imagine, bearing
7:50
the red and yellow before leaving WWE in
7:53
August 1993.
7:56
The Hulkster planned on putting his
7:58
full-time sports entertainment days
8:00
behind him and started a career as a
8:02
television star on the syndicated
8:04
Thunder in Paradise. However, it wasn't
8:08
long until he was drawn into sports
8:10
entertainment again. This time by Nature
8:13
Boy, Ric Flair, and new WCW executive
8:17
producer Eric Bishoff. Using Turner
8:20
Broadcasting's budget, Bishoff signed
8:22
Hogan to a sevenf figureure part-time
8:24
contract. In his debut match, Hogan with
8:28
Mr. T in his corner and Shaquille O'Neal
8:31
at ringside defeated Flair for the WCW
8:34
World Heavyweight Championship on the
8:36
Bash at the Beach pay-per-view in
8:38
Orlando, Florida. After 2 years of
8:41
dominating his competition, Hogan did
8:44
the unthinkable when he betrayed both
8:46
WCW fans and WCW hero Sting, Lex Luger,
8:51
and Randy Savage by joining the
8:53
Outsiders Scott Hall and Kevin Nash to
8:56
form the New World Order. The NWO was
8:59
WCW's greatest weapon in the Monday
9:02
Night War, pitting WCW's Nitro against
9:05
WWE's
9:07
Monday Night Raw. During his six years
9:10
with WCW, Hogan won six WCW World
9:14
Heavyweight Championships.
9:17
Almost one year after the demise of WCW,
9:20
Hogan, Hall, and Nash returned to WWE as
9:24
the reviled NWO in February 2002.
9:28
While his third stay in WWE lasted less
9:32
than two years, Hogan was once again
9:34
embraced by the WWE Universe during his
9:37
match against The Rock at Wrestlemania
9:39
X8 and later won his sixth WWE
9:42
Championship from Triple H at Backlash

9:50
the WWE Hall of Fame by his Rocky 3
9:53
co-star and friend Sylvester Stallone
9:56
and appeared at Wrestlemania 21 the
9:58
following night. In 2014, the Hulkster
10:02
again returned to WWE and was the host
10:05
of Wrestlemania 30. The historic event
10:08
