Hulk Hogan
  • Profession: Wrestler
  • Type: Entertainer
Terry Gen Bollea, known publicly as Hulk Hogan, is a retired professional wrestler regarded as the most regarded as the most recognized wrestling stars worldwide. Hogan was born in Augusta, Georgia where he grew up as the son of a construction foreman where his family soon relocated to Florida. He played little league baseball and began watching professional wrestling at 16. Later, he dropped out of college to focus on band "Ruckus". While working out and performing in bars, he met numerous wrestlers and eventually got his first break when, after training for more than a year, Jack Brisco handed Hogan a pair of wrestling boots and informed him that he was scheduled to wrestle his first match the following week. Known for his charismatic persona and the "Hulkamania" phenomenon, he went on to become a 12-time world champion. His life, however, has been marked by notable and sometimes controversial incidents, including causing a TV host to pass out while demonstrating a choke hold and producing a private sex tape that which, after being illegally leaked, resulted in a $140M court award. Continuing his history of outrageous events, Hulk Hogan, at the age of 70, and his wife were baptized Christians, when he stated: "Total surrender and dedication to Jesus is the greatest day of my life. No worries, no hate, no judgment… only love!" Is there room in heaven for a wild and crazy professional wrestler who after three marriages finds Jesus at age 70?
