Hollywood Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan's or shall we say, Terry Bolea's death came out of nowhere and hit the same week as Ozzy Osbourne. He was a legend worldwide, some morons call him a racist despite being friends with Rodman, Jordan, Booker T., Shaq, Mr. T and the reason why Virgil got a job in WCW. Others call him a liar and that's a better description, though the real term is: Carny.
Hogan, like nobody else knew how to work the wrestling business, hew knew how to play promoters, wrestlers, bookers, for the maximum amount of exposure and obviously, money.

His lies are legendary, though are they lies or are they just exaggerations for the persona of Hulk Hogan? Where does Hulk Hogan end and Terry Bolea start? This book of course is full of nonsense and for show more most hardcore fans the most obvious thing is: Hogan stole a lot from Randy Savage. Savage was a star baseball player until he injured his shoulder, he was scouted. In this book, Hogan claimed exactly the same story, even though there is no proof of it, by most accounts, Bolea was not all that athletic and he was a musician mostly (but not good enough for Metallica, that's for sure, his crappy album proves it)

The rest is basically a "Hogan is god, Hogan is great"-worship comparable to the bible or the quran. It's total fantasy, total nonsnse, a lot of it makes no sense, like all the stories about Andre. It's good for a laugh, but not much else. show less

Hulk Hogan has such a self-inflated image of himself that it's almost sad. And to watch him on VH1's Hogan Knows Best, it makes me wonder how we ever idolized this man in the eighties. He can pump up 90,000 in the Pontiac Silverdome like no other, but I don't need to hear him talk about how great he is. But the Hulkster and I share the same birthday and I've always loved him, so I had to have this.
