A new documentary chronicling the rise and fall of Hulk Hogan will be airing in January of 2024.
In the 1980’s, Hulk Hogan cemented his name as one of the most successful professional wrestlers of all time. Hulkamania ran wild, with the star helping to launch the massive success of WrestleMania. Hogan also earned numerous endorsement deals and even a Saturday morning cartoon series. He also took to the world of acting, starring in films such as No Holds Barred and Suburban Commando after a small role in Rocky IV.
However, Hogan is no stranger to controversy. In 1985, Hogan choked out television host Richard Belzer on national television, causing the host to pass out and hit his head. Belzer sued over the incident. Hogan was also instrumental in testifying in Vince McMahon’s steroid trial in 1994.
His most famous scandal came in 2015, when it was revealed that a sex tape filmed without his permission contained footage of him using racial slurs and expressing disgust at the idea of his daughter dating a Black man. Hogan was subsequently suspended from the WWE Hall of Fame until he was reinstated in 2018. The sex tape scandal led to a massive legal victory for Hogan against the website Gawker, who had published a portion of the tape without his consent.
