Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, was an American professional wrestler and media personality. He wrestled in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW), and the American Wrestling Association (AWA). Known for his showmanship, large physique, and his trademark blond horseshoe moustache and bandanas, Hogan was widely regarded as one of the greatest and globally most recognized wrestling stars of all time. He won multiple world championships across companies, most notably being a six-time WWE World Champion. Outside of wrestling, Hogan starred in films such as Rocky III, No Holds Barred, and Suburban Commando, and in TV shows including Hogan Knows Best and Thunder in Paradise. He also fronted the Wrestling Boot Band, whose sole record, Hulk Rules, reached No. 12 on the Billboard Top Kid Audio chart in 1995. Several controversies damaged Hogan's public image. In 1994, he admitted that he had been using anabolic steroids since 1976. In 2012, the media company Gawker published portions of a sex tape in which Hogan used strong racial slurs. Hogan sued Gawker, which was found liable and subsequently declared bankruptcy, but Hogan's reputation has been described as "being blemished forever". In January 2025, Hogan made his final appearance at a professional wrestling event during the Raw debut on Netflix, where alongside Jimmy Hart he cut a promo advertising his Real American Beer. Hogan was heavily booed by the crowd, which received widespread coverage in the media. Hogan died from cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida, at the age of 71.
