Draped in the iconic red and yellow, Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea, emerges as a towering figure in the realm of professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan’s biography chronicles the remarkable journey of the man who transcended the squared circle to become a global phenomenon. From his early days in the American Wrestling Association (AWA) to achieving superstardom with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), Hogan’s larger-than-life persona and all-American heroics defined an era.

The book delves into Hogan’s historic reign as a five-time WWF Champion, his pivotal role in the 1980s professional wrestling boom, and his record-setting WrestleMania appearances. Hogan’s departure from the WWF in 1993 marked a shift to film and television, only for him to resurge in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) as the infamous ＂Hollywood＂ Hulk Hogan, spearheading the New World Order (nWo) during the intense ＂Monday Night Wars.＂

Rejoining the WWF in 2002 after WCW’s acquisition, Hogan clinched the Undisputed WWF Championship for a record-equalling sixth reign. The narrative explores his multifaceted career, including his induction into the WWE Hall of Fame and his contributions to AWA, New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

Beyond the ring, this book unveils Hogan’s acting endeavors, television stardom, and his musical venture with The Wrestling Boot Band.

This biography celebrates the enduring legacy of a wrestling icon who left an indelible mark on sports entertainment and popular culture.
