If you didn’t know, one of the best bodybuilders of the time, Lou Ferrigno, who had a massive physique, weighed 280 pounds, and stood close to 6 feet tall, was portrayed as The Hulk in the show. Replying to the reporter’s question, Hulkster introduced himself as Terry ‘The Hulk’ Boulder. Consequently, Vince McMahon gave it the name Hulk Hogan when he joined the WWF (now WWE).
