Terry Gene Bollea is an American professional wrestler, singer, actor, television personality, and entrepreneur best known by his ring name Hulk Hogan. His extra-large physique, long white hair, handlebar moustache, and distinctive feather boas and shirt-ripping make him immediately identifiable. He was a budding pianist and baseball player as a kid, but he eventually settled on wrestling as his sport. Hiro Matsuda, the legendary trainer, fractured Hulk Hogan's leg on the first day of training. Hogan returned as soon as his leg healed, earning the coach's respect and affection in the process. When Hogan first joined the WWF, Vince McMahon wanted him to be a red-haired Irish wrestler, therefore he refused to color his blond hair. He eventually rose to prominence as a famous wrestler with a large fan base that he referred to as "Hulkamaniacs" in interviews. He was also known for his four "demands," which included exercise, praying, consuming vitamins, and believing in oneself. Early in his career, he got a major boost with an appearance in Rocky III alongside Sylvester Stallone.
He had two children named Brooke and Nick with his wife Linda Bollea, whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He married Jennifer McDaniel in 2010.
