Hulk Hogan is one of the most iconic performers in the history of professional wrestling. His huge popularity in the 1980s sparked “Hulkamania” and contributed to the rise of the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment). Hogan is known for his charisma, immense size—he stands 6 feet 7 inches (2 meters)—and trademark bandana and handlebar mustache.
