Terry Gene Bollea (born August 11, 1953), better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American actor, semi-retired professional wrestler, and former rock bassist.

He is a 12-time world champion being a six-time WWF/WWE Champion, six-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion, as well as a former WWE World Tag Team Champion with Edge.

He won the Royal Rumble in 1990 and 1991, making him the first to win two consecutive Royal Rumbles. He was also the first WWE wrestler to win the WWE Championship three times.

Bollea was raised in Charlestown, MA. is of Italian, French, and Panamanian heritage, is the son of Peter Bollea, a construction foreman, and Ruth, a homemaker and dance teacher.

Hogan and two local musicians formed a band called Ruckus in 1976 and were well received in the Tampa area.

He was originally called "Hulk" because it was noted at a match that he was taller than the actor who played the "The Incredible Hulk", Lou Ferrigno.

A great deal of Hogan's early success was achieved in New Japan Pro Wrestling. Japanese wrestling fans were in awe of the gargantuan blond American and nicknamed him "Ichiban" (which translates to "Number One"). Hogan first appeared in Japan on May 13, 1980.

Hogan was named the most requested celebrity of the 1980s for the Make-a-Wish Foundation children's charity.

AT&T reported that his 900 number information line was the single biggest 900 number from 1991 to 1993.

In 1994, Hogan, having received immunity from prosecution, testified in the trial of Vince McMahon relating to shipments of steroids received from Dr. Zahorian by both parties. Under oath, Hogan admitted that he had used anabolic steroids since 1976 to gain size and weight, but that Vince McMahon had neither sold him the drugs, nor ordered him to take them. McMahon was found not guilty.

In March 2001, Hogan underwent surgery on his knees.

Hogan's last WWE appearance to date occurred on December 10, 2007 on the WWE Raw 15th anniversary.
