At the age of 71, Hulk Hogan died – 1 of the most celebrated wrestlers, the 1980s and 1990s pop-culture icon. Who did not know the characteristic “muscle” with white hair and a coloured bandama?
Hulk Hogan was born in 1953 as Terry Gene Bollea. The alias “Hulk” borrowed from comic books.
In 1984, he won the planet Championship in wrestling. In the imagination of the mass audience, however, he enrolled not as an athlete, but a pop-culture icon. He tried his strength on a silver screen. He starred in the production of “Rocky III” and “Holy Santa with Muscles”, becoming the idol of millions of Americans.
