Hulk Hogan The Great Wrestler

Terry Bollea was born on August 11, 1953. As a musician in Florida, the bar he worked at was frequented by wrestlers. He was trained by Hiro Matsuda, who broke Hulk's leg on his first day and gained his respect by coming back when his leg healed. A few years into his career, he was given the name Hulk Hogan by Vince McMahon Sr. who wanted an Irish villain. He was fired for accepting the role of Thunderlips in Rocky 3.
American Wrestling Association & Thunderlips:
After appearing in Rocky 3, Hulk Hogan went on to fight in the AWA where he became a good guy. As the top hero, he was constantly thwarted by Nick Bockwinkle in his quest to win the AWA title. He left due to money issues and was hired by the new head of the WWF, Vince McMahon. With the spread of cable TV, wrestling shows became national and Vince wanted Hulk to be the face of his company.
Hulkamania:
Within weeks, Hulk beat the Iron Sheik to become champion. During his reign, the WWF invaded the areas of other regional territories to become the number one promotion. His most notable feud at this time involved Roddy Piper and it gained national attention when Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T got involved. This part of Hulk's career reached its' peak when he beat Andre the Giant in front of 90,000 fans at WrestleMania 3. Their rematch took place live on NBC and Hulk lost the title.
