Hulk Hogan filmography

[h3]Born Terry Gene Bollea, Hogan began bodybuilding at the age of 14. After studying business administration and music, Terry worked as a part time bouncer, and full-time bank clerk.[/h3]

According to pro-wrestling legend, Hogan met wrestler Jack Brisco while working as a bouncer. Brisco immediately saw his potential, and arranged for him to be trained by the famous Hiro Matsuda.

Hulk Hogan debuted as an amateur in 1978, and six years later he won his first WWF title. He defeated Iron Sheik at Madison Square Garden to capture the crown. Months earlier he had won his first major title in Japan. He developed a hero image, particularly popular with children.

He was highly influential in making wrestling appeal to a mainstream audience. His fight against Roddy Piper in 1985 became a prelude to the extremely popular 'Wrestlemania' TV series.

Hulk Hogan was the star of the early 'Wrestlemania'. In its second year he routed King Kong Bundy, in a match fought in a cage. A year later he beat top wrestler Andre the Giant.

However, he was defeated in 1990 by the Ultimate Warrior, and decided to concentrate on things other than wrestling.

For the next five years he threw himself into making movies such as 'Gremlins II', and appearing on TV. He came to be known as ‘Hollywood’ Hogan. A cartoon series was also produced, in which he was the star.

Hulk Hogan returned to wrestling in 1994. In that same year he became the WCW World Heavyweight Champion. But two years later he went too far, seriously injuring wrestler Randy Savage. Even Hogan’s supporters were disgusted with his behaviour.

By 2000, however, he had regained his hero status, and shortly afterwards he announced his retirement.

Hulk Hogan has won seven World Titles. Despite his macho image, he has also worked hard for charity. In 2005. he was inducted into the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Fame.

He married his wife, Linda, in 1984 and they have two children, Nick and Brooke.
