Terry Eugene Bollea (
/bəˈleɪə/, born August 11, 1953), better known by his
ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American retired
professional wrestler, television personality, actor, and entrepreneur. According to
IGN, Hogan is "the most recognized wrestling star worldwide and the most popular wrestler of the 1980s".
[7]
Hogan began his professional wrestling career in 1977, but gained worldwide recognition after signing for World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now
WWE) in 1983. There, his persona as a
heroic all-American helped usher in the
1980s professional wrestling boom, where he headlined the first nine editions of WWF's flagship annual event,
WrestleMania. During his initial run, Hogan also won the
WWF Championship five times, with his first reign holding the record for the
second-longest in company history. Additionally, he is the first wrestler to win consecutive
Royal Rumble matches, winning in
1990 and
1991.
In 1993, he departed the WWF to sign for rival promotion
World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Hogan subsequently won the
WCW World Heavyweight Championship six times, and also holds the record for the
longest reign in company history. In 1996, he
adopted the
villainous persona of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, leading the popular
New World Order (NWO)
stable.
[8] As a result, he became a major figure during the "
Monday Night Wars", another
boom of mainstream professional wrestling. Hogan also headlined WCW's annual flagship event
Starrcade three times, including the most profitable WCW
pay-per-view ever at the event's
1997 edition.
[9]
He returned to WWE from WCW in 2002, and won the WWE championship for a sixth time, before departing in 2003. He was inducted into the
WWE Hall of Fame in
2005, and will be inducted a second time in
2020 as a member of the NWO.
[10]
Aside from those promotions, Hogan also performed for the
American Wrestling Association (AWA),
New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA). He notably won the original
IWGP Heavyweight Championship, and the
northern and
southern iterations of the
NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship outside WWE.
[11][12][13]
During and after wrestling, Hogan had an extensive acting career, beginning with his 1982 antagonist role in
Rocky III. He has starred in several movies (including
No Holds Barred,
Suburban Commando and
Mr. Nanny) and three television shows (
Hogan Knows Best,
Thunder in Paradise, and
China, IL), as well as in
Right Guard commercials and the video game,
Hulk Hogan's Main Event. He was the frontman for
The Wrestling Boot Band, whose sole record,
Hulk Rules, reached #12 on the
Billboard Top Kid Audio chart in 1995.
