Hollywood Hulk Hogan
ByPublisher Description
You think you know Hollywood Hulk Hogan™? Brother, you don't know squat about me.
Yeah, I'm the towering red-and-yellow warrior who revolutionized the wrestling business, the larger-than-life superhero who transformed an entire country into a horde of Hulkamaniacs. I'm the guy who spit blood and breathed fire to help create an empire called World Wrestling Entertainment™.
But it wasn't always like that. Once I was a fat kid named Terry Bollea watching legends like Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham, never dreaming I'd be a professional wrestler myself one day.
Run with me on the streets of Tampa, where a bass guitar became my salvation. Fight alongside me in the wrestling arenas of Japan, where opponents try to bite your fingers off to make a name for themselves. Slide into the ring with me against 700-pound Andre the Giant, who only became my best friend after he found out he couldn't beat me down.
Then cruise L.A. with me and Sylvester Stallone on the heels of Rocky III. Learn why Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura hates my guts. Go head-to-head with Dennis Rodman in a hard-liquor drinking contest, and share a dressing room with Liberace.
Find out what makes me cry like a baby, what makes my blood boil, what I think of Jesus Christ, and what scares the living hell out of me. Then tell me you know the man called Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Join the Babe Ruth of wrestling on a gritty, no-holds-barred odyssey from his start in the barbaric wrestling arenas of the seventies through the heartbreak of potentially career-ending surgery to the achievement of his greatest triumph yet.
Along the way, lock up with the likes of Cyndi Lauper, Andy Kaufman, Dolly Parton, Mr. T, Ted Turner, George Foreman, Jay Leno, Undertaker, Triple H, The Rock...and of course, Vince McMahon, head of World Wrestling Entertainment™. They're all in here, waiting to show you what they've got.
Hollywood Hulk Hogan™. It's the real deal, brother.

“Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Say what you will about him, to me growing up. One of the coolest guys to ever exist, ESPECIALLY in his Hollywood NWO era days. No question.
This book tho.. Haha ahh. I have no doubt in my mind that Hulk Hogan was just talking from the hip and it was all being transcribed as so. The way it's written is like he's carrying on to you, flat chat at the bar.
Being the icon and such a trend setter, it was cool to read about his learning of the art, rise to fame, relationship with Vince McMahon snr, global takeover with Vince McMahon jnr, The steroid trials and all that's interweived during and after.
I guess I didn't realize how spefically much he changed the layout of wrestling. (for eg. Wrestlers having entrance music due to his role in Rocky 3 and coming out to Eye of the Tiger) That itself has spread to all combat sports.
But this book tho, really cool facts and bits but delivered like Hulk just yammering on.
If you're a fan check it out, if you hate Hollywood, obviously don't. I'm greatful for his legacy.
