A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the late 1970s Terry Bollea was part of a rock band playing smoky, low-key bars. Few would imagine that twenty years later the man who became known as Hulk Hogan would stand as arguably the most successful wrestler of all time, a man whose name is synonymous with the WWE. And along the way he's found time to make his mark as a movie star as well...
Since he first fought as an amateur way back in 1978, Hulk Hogan has won seven World Titles, and in those early years of the 1980s he did more than any other single wrestler to bring the WWE to the massive international audience it enjoys today. In his time he has been both hero and villain, and in the 1990s he took the decision to turn his talents to Hollywood. For the next five years he devoted himself to roles both in film and on TV and subsequently became the star of his own animated series.
In 1994 he returned to the ring, becoming WCW World Heavyweight Champion, before retiring for a second time at the end of 1999. Now set once more to make a sensational return to the WWE arena, Hulk Hogan tells his inspirational story, from his earliest years in the ring through the many different turns his career his taken to his life these last few years outside the WWE.

Présentation de l'éditeur

You think you know Hollywood Hulk Hogan™? Brother, you don't know squat about me.

Yeah, I'm the towering red-and-yellow warrior who revolutionized the wrestling business, the larger-than-life superhero who transformed an entire country into a horde of Hulkamaniacs™.

But it wasn't always like that. Once I was a fat kid named Terry Bollea watching legends like Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham, never dreaming I'd be a professional wrestler myself one day.

Run with me on the streets of Tampa, where a bass guitar became my salvation. Fight alongside me in the wrestling arenas of Japan. Cruise L.A. with me and Sylvester Stallone. Find out what makes me cry like a baby, what makes my blood boil, and what scares the living hell out of me. Then tell me you know the man called Hollywood Hulk Hogan.

Join the Babe Ruth of wrestling on a no-holds-barred odyssey of his start in the barbaric wrestling arenas of the seventies through the humiliation of his involvement in federal steroid-abuse trials and the heartbreak of potentially career-ending surgery to the achievement of his greatest triumph yet.

Hollywood Hulk Hogan. It's the real deal, brother.
