Hulk Hogan unofficially became Hollywood Hogan that fateful night at Bash at the Beach. Hollywood Hogan has been the WCW World HeavyWeight Champion on many occasions.He is probably one of the most regognized and most respected(outside of the ring)wrestler ever. One of the founding fathers of the original nWo. A little about him Real name: Terry Bollea Nickname: Hulk, Hulkster, The Icon, and Scum Height: 6'8 Weight: 275lbs. Trademark move: Atomic Leg Drop Trademark qoute: All you nWo-ites out there and Let me tell you something brother Title History 6 time World Heavyweight champion Notable matches Won the belt from Nash on Nitro (1/4/99) Lost the belt to Goldberg on Nitro (7/6/98) Lost the belt to Sting at SuperBrawl ('98) Lost the belt to Sting at Starcade ('97) With Hall and Nash beat the team of Sting/Savage/Luger at Bash at the Beach in a hostile take over match to form the nWo Beat Ric Flair at SuperBrawl IX to retain the belt (2/21/99) Lost the belt to Ric Flair at Uncensored (3/14/99) Hulkster News Before everyone goes around and says, "Hulkamania is coming back" and spreads rumors, I just want you to know that my sources are not entirely reliable. I am just going to tell you things I've heard on the WCW hotline and from other websites. 8/05/99 Well, the reason Hogan didn't wrestle on Monday is because he further injured his knee. They decided to let him stay on the sidelines and wrestle at Road Wild. Hollywood also shaved his beard and wore a necklace made of paper clips. Hmmmmm. 7/20/99 Well first thing is first. I could have tip toed around it and pretended it never happened, but I'm not like that. Well, Hulkamania did NOT return at BATB. In fact, he wasnt' even there. Now, I could have just deleted what I said and pretended I never said it, but I'll apologize instead. I'm sorry to all of the Hogan fan's that I miss lead. I got there hopes up about Hulkamania returning at the Bash, and it didn't happen. As you all know, Hollywood Hogan defeated Randy Savage for the world title, and will face a heel Nash at Road Wild. Early speculation says that Hogan will beat Nash, and lose the title to Bret Hart at WW3, but don't hold me to that. Now, my thoughts. I think all the Hulkamaniac's should be happy. He may not be wearing red and yellow, but he acts almos exactly like the Hulkster. Clothes aren't important. We basically got what we wanted, a face Hogan, so don't complain. 6/29/99 This is just a rumor but is worth posting. From what I've heard, Hulk Hogan will show up at the July 5 Nitro. It is supposed to be a good Nitro (the first good one in a few months) so I suggest you all turn off of Raw and back on to WCW. Whether he will appear as Hulkster or Hollywood is unknown, but my bet is Hollywood.....if he even shows up. 6/23/99 Well everyone, from what I understand, Hulk Hogan is very upset as of now. It seems that he wasn't happy about WCW signing Sid. From what I understand, WCW usually consults with Hogan on any new talent being signed. They didn't do that this time and Hogan, who isn't on the best terms with Sid, wan't very happy. Another thing Hogan is unhappy about is booker Kevin Nash keeping the world title belt for as long as he has. This is just a rumor and, as of now, doesn't have any fact to it, but I thought it should be posted here. If it is wrong, I'll correct myself.

For Diehard Hulkamaniacs and Cheese-Seeking Idiots Houston, Texas 1989. The WWF is about to put on its Royal Rumble in The Summit. 30 wrestlers. 1 champion. Although Hulk Hogan talks a lot of trash in this pre-fight interview, he was not the champ. Big John Stud was. Gene Oakerland: All right, Hulk Hogan, I've been visiting you over the past week, and you are hungry, but what if, in the Royal Rumble, the Big Boss Man should track you down? Hulk Hogan: Well you know, Mean Gene, I'm worried about a lot of things, man!, in the Royal Rumble. And oh yeah the Boss Man's won. But first off, me and all my Hulkamaniacs are looking at the Royal Rumble as the resurrection of Hulkamania, man! Oh yeah, Hulkamania this! Oh yeah, Hulkamania's running wild! And you better believe the Hulkster rules, brother! And if someone like the Big Boss Man gets in my way I'm gonna give him a lifelong sentence of Hulkamania! Even if his partner, the Bad Hakeem, gets in my way I'll press him over my head and throw him out of the ring! We've got the Heenan family; we've got 7'4'', 565 lbs. Andre the Giant. But I've got a lot of things going for me, Mean Gene. I've got the Three Commandments for a foundation: the training, the prayers, the vitamins, brother! And with all my little Hulksters watching my back, I don't care if it's dog eat dog in there, I don't care if it's every man for himself, because the deck is stacked in my favor. And with all my little Hulksters watching my back I predict vic-to-ree for Hulkamania! Gene Oakerland: All right, at the risk of sounding negative, Hulk Hogan, what if you and your mega-power partner, the Macho Man Randy Savage, in this competition where there are no partners, what if the two of you collide? Hulk Hogan: Well, I've thought about every situation, Mean Gene. I've thought about what would happen if this happened, and what would happen if that happened. But if the Macho Man, the WWF champion, happens to end up in the ring with me, the Hulkster, brother!, I gotta feel sorry for him, Mean Gene! He's a friend, yeah, and I love him like a brother. And we're both guided by the same manager. But when it comes down to who rules in the WWF, who is the real champion?, I guess if it comes down to me and the Macho Man, he's gonna find out real quick that the Hulkster's never been beaten! I've got the largest arms in the world! And, yes, Macho Man I am still called the champ by all my Hulkamaniacs! What are they gonna do when the largest arms in the world rumble on through?

Hulkamania Is Dead Prowrestling's ultimate ambassador joins the dark side In the past twelve-and-a-half years, since the cold january day in 1984 when Hulk Hogan captured the world wrestling federation title for the first time, many a WWF evildoer has uttered the phrase, "Hulkamania is dead!" However, every time these three words were prematurely announced, be it by King Kong Bundy, Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, or The Undertaker, the Hulkster fought with all his might and proved them wrong. Hulkamania, the intangible phenomenon surrounding the most popular wrestler the sport has ever known survived for over a decade, only to come to a shocking end this past july at the hands of, ironically enough, Hulk Hogan himself. This wasthe sports moment of the summer. Forget Kerri Strug's one-legged landing to clinch the gold medal for the American women's gymnastics team, the announcement that Gretzky and Messier were reuniting on the New York Rangers, or any one of Mark McGwire's unbelievable 500-foot home runs. In one astonishing moment at World Championship Wrestling's "Bash at the Beach" which will live in infamy in the minds of all those who witnessed it, Hulk Hogan betrayed every young fan he ever had. This was the most astonishing curve ball pro wrestling has thrown to its fans since Andre The Giant did the same thing to his fans (at Hogan's expense) nearly ten years ago. Outsiders step inside The stage was set at the beginning of the summer when WWF defectors Kevin "Diesel" Nash and Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall surfaced in the WCW claiming to still represent the WWF. A six-man tag match was signed as the main event of "Bash at the Beach," pitting Nash, Hall, and a mystery partner against World Championship Wrestling's top "good guys", Randy "Macho Man" Savage, Lex Luger, and Sting. Most fans figured the mystery partner for The Outsiders--as they had begun calling themselves--would be another wrestler who had just recently left the WWF but had not yet appeared anywhere else. Fans mentioned Yokozuna and "The Million-Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase as possibilities. The anticipation mounted right up until the match began, when Nash and Hall arrived in the ring without a third partner. But they didn't seem to mind wrestling short-handed, an early indication that they had a trick up their sleeves. Early in the contest, Luger suffered injuries which required that he be carted off on a stretcher, creating a standard two-on-two situation. After several minutes of mediocre grappling, the match suddenly became very interesting. As The Outsiders appeared on the verge of victory with Savage nearly unconscious in the center of the ring and the referee knocked out, the crowd erupted into a roaring frenzy. Hogan had emerged from behind the curtain at the end of the walkway to the ring, making his first appearance in the WCW in months after a lengthy movie shoot. He stormed the ring, causing Nash and Hall to flee--the final convincing part of the master plan--before doing the unthinkable.

THE MAN WHO TOLD KIDS TO TRAIN, SAY THEIR PRAYERS, EAT THEIR VITAMINS, AND BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES HAD BECOME A "BAD GUY."

Savage attack The Hulkster didn't even stop to take a deep breath or offer a look of compassion to his fans before he ambushed Savage with his famous victory-sealing legdrop. With the ref knocked out, The Outsiders counted the pin themselves, but nobody really cared whether the victory was legal since win-loss records don't mean a thing in pro wrestling. What mattered here was that the only dependable hero in wrestling; the man who told kids to train, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, and believe in themselves; the man who lifted pro wrestling to unprecedented heights of popularity in the mid-eighties; the man who starred in such classic films as "No Holds Barred" and "Suburban Commando," had turned into a "bad guy." Women, children, and a grown man or two throughout the crowd began to cry. Every available piece of garbage was hurled toward the ring as Hogan, Nash, and Hall stomped about the ring victoriously, knee-deep in waste products. Some of the trash even contained unfinished food, a sure sign that these pro wrestling fans were incensed. One particular college-age fan watching the tragedy unfold on pay-per-view became violently ill as a result of pro wrestling for only the second time in his life (the first time, he missed a day of school because Hulk Hogan lost his WWF title to Andre the Giant as the result of a bogus evil-twin-brother-referee scandal). If this all seems like overreaction, consider how a Chicago Bulls fan might feel if Michael Jordan was traded to the Knicks and then proceeded to curse out all of his loyal Chicago supporters. That's right, after Hogan and his cohorts finished their victory lap around the ring, Hogan shoved "Mean" Gene Okerlund and, essentially, told the fans to shove it. At that moment, Hulkamania officially died, and it probably will never live in quite the same way again. Incredible, Hulk There is only one reasonable explanation for why Ted Turner, Virgil Runnels, and the other WCW big shots made the decision to "turn Hulk Hogan bad": to pave the way for the next Hulk Hogan. Since the beginning of the '90s, both the WWF and WCW have been searching unsuccessfully for someone to fill the void Hulk Hogan will inevitably leave and to take pro wrestling to the next level. By allowing Hogan to recapture the world title, the WCW will be giving some popular young superstar the opportunity to dethrone arguably the greatest champion ever at the height of his unpopularity. Whether it be Lex Luger, Sting (the most likely candidate,) or someone not yet in WCW, Turner will most likely succeed in doing what Vince McMahon and the WWF couldn't quite accomplish. WCW must have some lavish plan mapped out, or else they would never have made the sacrifices that go along with turning Hulk bad. Hogan was the ultimate merchandise marketing machine, cranking out t-shirt, poster, and foam finger sales the likes of which have never been equaled in professional wrestling. Also, the WCW is likely to have alienated some fans with their bold and unexpected maneuvering, a result which can only be undone when Hogan is toppled by a deserving successor. Let's face it: pro wrestling is a game of intrigue. Keep the fans guessing, and you'll keep the fans. To this end, the WCW seems to have done the right thing. But for Hogan himself, is any absurd amount of cash really worth betraying everything he stood for over the course of the past 13 years? After adding the fourth demandment a few years back, telling kids to "believe in yourself," Hulk Hogan is himself no longer someone to believe in.
