Hulk Hogan, born Terry Gene Bollea on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia, is an iconic American professional wrestler, actor, and television personality. Hogan became a global wrestling sensation in the 1980s, particularly with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), where his larger-than-life persona, signature "Hulkamania" catchphrase, and heroic character made him one of the most recognizable athletes of all time.

His wrestling career spanned several decades, with notable championship victories, including six WWE World Heavyweight Championships. Hogan also gained fame for his stints in World Championship Wrestling (WCW) and TNA Wrestling. Beyond wrestling, Hogan appeared in movies such as Rocky III and starred in his own reality show, Hogan Knows Best.

Known for his trademark mustache, bandana, and muscle-bound physique, Hogan is widely regarded as one of the greatest wrestlers in history and a key figure in the popularization of professional wrestling in mainstream culture.
