Hulk Hogan

Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American actor, and semi-retired professional wrestler. He currently stars on the VH1 reality show Hogan Knows Best and is the new co-host of American Gladiators on NBC.

Bollea had mainstream popularity in the mid 1980s through the early 1990s as the all-American, working-class hero character Hulk Hogan in the World Wrestling Federation and was notable in the mid-to-late 1990s as "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, a villainous gang leader, in World Championship Wrestling. Following WCW's fold, he made a brief return to the WWE in the early 2000s, revising his heroic character by combining elements of his two most famous personas.
