Hulk Hogan is a pro-wrestling legend and inarguably deserves to be on the Mount Rushmore of wrestling. His career has seen so many ups and downs that one documentary isn’t enough to cover his legacy. It would take a whole Hulkamaniaverse to encapsulate all of it. That’s why Netflix cast Chris Hemsworth to play him.

For Hogan, one thing that came along with immense fame was some poor financial decisions. We all know about so many that Hulk Hogan ended up making when his popularity was at its peak. From his marriages to the hopping off to TNA and trying to make it WWE’s alternative, there are many places where we could see that the Hulkster was just human.

While Hogan is arguably one of the most popular pro-wrestlers of all time, the same can be said about Conor McGregor when it comes to MMA.

Jim Ross once compared the two superstars and wrote on his blog, “All these fighters @UFC calling out Conor McGregor, obviously because the Irishman is the new ‘it guy’ in UFC and that’s where one will find the money… the big money. Two quick points, I hope that McGregor has a great financial planning in place where he’s saving much more than he spends on toys, etc.“

“Plus that this reminds me of when Hulk Hogan was white hot in WWF and when the booking sheets would be distributed that the boys on the road, when three shows a night was the norm, would first look to find Hogan’s name and where he was booked and then examine that card to see if their name was listed too. Everyone wants to follow the money and being on Hogan’s live event cards was where the big money was as a rule back in the day.“
