Timeline

1953

Terry Gene Bollea (born August 11, 1953), better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American retired professional wrestler.

Hogan was born in Augusta, Georgia, on August 11, 1953, the son of construction foreman Pietro "Peter" Bollea (December 6, 1913 – December 18, 2001) of Italian descent and homemaker and dance teacher Ruth V. (née Moody; 1922 – January 1, 2011) Bollea is of Panamanian, Scottish and French descent.

When he was one and a half years old, his family moved to Port Tampa, Florida.

As a boy, he was a pitcher in Little League Baseball.

Hogan attended Robinson High School.

He began watching professional wrestling at 16 years old.

While in high school, he revered Dusty Rhodes, and he regularly attended cards at the Tampa Sportatorium.

It was at one of those wrestling cards where he first noticed Superstar Billy Graham and began looking to him for inspiration; since he first saw Graham on TV, Hogan wanted to match his "inhuman" look.

Hogan was also a musician, spending a decade playing fretless bass guitar in several Florida-based rock bands.

He went on to study at Hillsborough Community College and the University of South Florida.

After music gigs began to get in the way of his time in college, he dropped out of the University of South Florida.

1976

Eventually, Hogan and two local musicians formed a band called Ruckus in 1976.

The band soon became popular in the Tampa Bay region.

During his spare time, Hogan worked out at Hector's Gym in the Tampa Bay area, where he began lifting.

Many of the wrestlers who were competing in the Florida region visited the bars where Ruckus was performing.

Among those attending his performances were Jack and Gerald Brisco, two brothers who wrestled together as a tag team in the Florida region.

Impressed by Hogan's physical stature, the Brisco brothers asked Hiro Matsudathe man who trained wrestlers working for Championship Wrestling from Florida (CWF)to make him a potential trainee.

In 1976, the two brothers asked Hogan to try wrestling.

Hogan eventually agreed.

At first, Mike Graham, the son of CWF promoter Eddie Graham, refused to put Hogan in the ring; according to Hogan, he met Graham while in high school and the two did not get along.

After Hogan quit Ruckus and started telling people in town that he was going to be a wrestler, Graham finally agreed to accept the Brisco Brothers' request.

1977

Hogan began his professional wrestling career in 1977, but gained worldwide recognition after signing with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in December of 1983.

1980

He is widely regarded as the most recognized wrestling star worldwide, the most popular wrestler of the 1980s, and as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time.

There, his persona as a heroic all-American helped usher in the 1980s professional wrestling boom, where he headlined a record eight editions of the WWF's flagship annual event, WrestleMania.

Hogan also was a regular headliner of Saturday Night's Main Event and its spin-off The Main Event in which he headlined 31 editions of both shows combined.

During his initial run, he was a five-time WWF Champion, with his 1,474-day reign being the longest of the WrestleMania era ever.

1982

During and after wrestling, Hogan had an extensive acting career, beginning with his 1982 cameo role in Rocky III.

He has starred in several films (including No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny) and three television shows (Hogan Knows Best, Thunder in Paradise, and China, IL), as well as in Right Guard commercials and the video game, Hulk Hogan's Main Event.

1988

His match with Andre the Giant on WWF The Main Event on February 5, 1988, still holds American television viewership records for wrestling with a 15.2 Nielsen rating and 33 million viewers.

1990

He is the first wrestler to win consecutive Royal Rumble matches, winning in 1990 and 1991.

1993

In 1993, Hogan departed the WWF to pursue a career in film and television.

1994

He was lured back to the ring when he signed with rival promotion World Championship Wrestling (WCW) in 1994.

He won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship six times, and holds the record for the longest reign.

1995

He was the frontman for The Wrestling Boot Band, whose sole record, Hulk Rules, reached No. 12 on the Billboard Top Kid Audio chart in 1995.

1996

In 1996, he underwent a career renaissance upon adopting the villainous persona of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, leading the popular New World Order (nWo) stable.

As a result, he became a major figure during the "Monday Night Wars", another boom of mainstream professional wrestling.

1997

He headlined WCW's annual flagship event Starrcade three times, including the most profitable WCW pay-per-view ever, Starrcade 1997.

2002

Hogan returned to the WWF in 2002 following its acquisition of WCW the prior year, winning the Undisputed WWF Championship for his record equaling (for the time) sixth reign before departing in 2003.

2005

He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, and inducted a second time in 2020 as a member of the nWo.

Hogan also performed for the American Wrestling Association (AWA), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW) – where he was the inaugural winner of the original IWGP Heavyweight Championship – and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
