For decades, the legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan entertained his fans worldwide. Although he started professional wrestling in the year 1977, he achieved global fame and recognition after he signed with the World Wrestling Federation/WWF (now called World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE). During his decades long career in WWF and WWE, Hogan presented his fans with several unforgettable moments in the history of television and sport. To name one, one can’t help but think of Hulk Hogan vs. Andre the Giant on February 5, 1988.

With his success in the WWE, Hogan became a popular personality on American Television, and even occasionally, made his appearances on the big screen. In the 1982 blockbuster Rocky III, Hogan was seen squaring off with Sylvester Stallone – the excellence of Thunderlips!
