Synopsis
The complete story of the most successful wrestler of them all 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.

A Great Book
Hollywood Hulk Hogan tells all - from his personal life to his wrestling career. He talks about the problems he overcame, the matches he's had in the ring, and the life he has at home.
Every chapter focuses on one thing, and it truly is captivating. As a wrestling fan, this is definitely an amazing book. In fact, I think a non-wrestling fan would be interested in this, too.
It's not just about wrestling, so it is a book of variety - in only a way that Hogan can tell it.

A LEGEND CELEBRRATED..........

Excellentt book thaat was written for fans and should only be read by fans.

hulk hogn lies
I found this book very farfetched and alot of it seemed to be completly made up, such as his arm size, which he claims became alot bigger than the 24" that he was billed as.

I was glad however that he admitted certain things in this book (i'm not goin to spoil it for you) because everyone already knew and i personally did'nt think he would have admitted it.

overall it is quite an interesting book but you have to look past the constant B.S. if you can do this and look at the positive of it then this is for you.

i would however ask you to try ric flairs book first as it is definatly alot better, more interesting and more truthful than this, especially the part of it about Hogan
