Hulk Hogan Age|Birthday

Hulk Hogan was born on August 11, 1953, in Augusta, Georgia, U.S.A. He is 66 years old as of 2019. He celebrates his birthday on August 11, every year. His full names are Terry Gene Bollea.

Hulk Hogan Family

Hulk was born in Augusta, Georgia to construction foreman Pietro “Peter” Bollea (December 6, 1913–December 18, 2001) and homemaker and dance teacher Ruth V. (née Moody; 1922–January 1, 2011) Bollea. He is of French, Italian, Panamanian, and Scottish descent.

Hulk Hogan Wife|Divorce

On December 18, 1983, Hulk Hogan married Linda Claridge and the couples were blessed with two children a daughter Brooke (born May 5, 1988) and a son Nick (born on July 27, 1990). Bollea made his personal life the centerpiece of the television show Hogan Knows Best, which included his wife and two children.

Hulk deliberately dragged out a bitter divorce court battle ‘in a bid to block his ex-wife Linda from getting a slice of his $115M Gawker payout’ judge rules, as he orders wrestler to pay her $180,000 legal bill. He was ordered to pay more than $180,000 to his ex-wife’s lawyer after a Florida judge said he deliberately created a succession of legal hurdles in a bid to stop her getting her hands on 40 percent of his earnings.

Linda filed for divorce in Pinellas County, Florida on November 20, 2007, and she claimed to the public that she made the decision to end her marriage after finding out about Hogan’s affair. After the divorce Hulk retained around 30% of the couple’s liquid assets totaling around $10 million in the divorce settlement.

He considered committing suicide after the divorce. On December 14, 2010, he married Jennifer McDaniel in Clearwater, Florida with whom he had an affair since early 2008. Wrestling champ Hogan real name Terry Gene Bollea and ex-wife Linda Bollea, 60, split in 2008 after an alleged former mistress went public about their affair.

As part of their 2009 divorce settlement, which was hashed out over a year, Hogan, 66, agreed to hand over 70 percent of their liquid assets plus properties worth $3m and a 40 percent stake in his earnings which total more than $68,000 per month, according to court papers. But according to Bollea’s lawyer, Hogan has repeatedly failed to cough up the cash including a slice of the $115m payout he won after suing website Gawker over a sex tape they published in 2012.

Now the judge sided with Bollea, handing down an order to force Hogan to pay her legal fees after deeming him responsible for ‘the vast escalation of fees and costs in this case’. Judge Peter Ramsberger also noted: ‘His early compliance or good faith efforts to timely comply with petitioner’s discovery requests would have avoided a considerable amount of time having to be spent by petitioner’s counsel in doing what they have had to do in order to accomplish their rightful discovery requests, and properly represent his client.’

Hogan now has 30 days from the date of the order, filed on August 28, to pay $170,331.67 legal tab plus another $10,260.25 to cover the cost of the battle over fees. Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Bollea’s Miami-based lawyer Raymond Rafool said: ‘We were rightly awarded 100 percent of our fees, costs and travel expenses and fees requested incurred just to that point in combating Hulk Hogan and his controlled Entities obstructive and costly discovery prevention.

‘Consistently, Hulk Hogan and his controlled Entities did all they can to prevent Linda from obtaining the discovery proving his failure to comply with their marital settlement agreement and diverting of money Linda should be receiving. Quite frankly, Judge [Peter] Ramsberger had enough and justifiably ordered Hulk Hogan to pay all of Linda’s then incurred fees and costs he required her to spend to obtain the information she is clearly entitled to.

‘Hopefully, this is a lesson to prevent any future obstruction of the truth. The former couple has been slugging it out over finances since their messy split in 2008 when Hogan’s daughter’s friend Chantelle Plante gave an interview to the National Enquirer claiming to have had an affair with the wrestling star while the family was shooting their reality show, Hogan Knows Best.

Bollea and Hogan initially signed a financial settlement to divide their assets but the 60-year-old says her husband soon reneged on his pledge to play her 40 percent of his earnings. Speaking to DailyMailTV in January, Bollea said Hogan’s ‘serial legal game-playing’ had taken its toll on their family, which includes daughter Brooke, 31, and son Nick, 29. She added: ‘His serial legal game playing is worse than his serial cheating.

Trying to keep what we had left of a family that he destroyed has been impossible. ‘In his attempt to humiliate and control this ex-wife and children, he has only made us stronger. ‘I should have known his integrity and commitment in our Marriage Settlement Agreement would have been no different than our wedding vows. Thank God for the wheels of justice. Let them roll.’

In court filings obtained by DailyMail.com in June 2018, Bollea claimed her ex-husband was hiding his earnings in seven different shell companies and was refusing access to their accounts. She also insisted that she and Hogan created his lucrative wrestling persona together and that she was ‘instrumental’ in his success, while also raising their two children.

Hogan accused him of having ‘multiple adulterous affairs in or around September 2007’ and claims he ‘began a scheme and shell game to conceal and tie up the parties’ assets and income’. But his life since divorcing Bollea hasn’t been entire without controversy, including the battle over the Gawker sex tape, published in 2012, which showed him in flagrant with the wife of a DJ friend.

In 2015, he was dropped from WWE after it emerged that the sex tape also included a racist rant in which he repeatedly used the n-word and expressed disgust at the idea of his daughter dating a black man. Hogan was dropped from the wrestling federation and had all ties cut in 2015 when it emerged that his sex tapes also included a racist rant.

The wrestler admitted to being a ‘racist, to a point’. More racist slurs were revealed from a 2008 recorded telephone conversation with his then-imprisoned son, Nick, who had pleaded no contest to felony reckless driving charges. Hogan later apologized, saying he used ‘language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs’. The wrestler has since made a comeback in the wrestling world, after being readmitted to WWE in July 2018.

Hulk Hogan Early life

He is of French, Italian, Panamanian, and Scottish 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. He attracted scouts from the New York Yankees and the Cincinnati Reds, but an injury ended his baseball career. 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 turned his attention towards Superstar Billy Graham and looked 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.  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 Matsuda the 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, however, 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. However, 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.

Hulk Hogan is an American retired professional wrestler, actor, television personality, entrepreneur, and musician who has an estimated net worth of $25 million dollars.

Hulk Hogan Professional wrestler(WWE)

Hulk Hogan began his professional wrestling career in 1977 but gained worldwide recognition after signing for World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 1983. There, his persona as a heroic all-American helped usher in the 1980s professional wrestling boom, where he headlined the first nine editions of WWF’s flagship annual event, WrestleMania.

During his initial run, Hogan also won the WWF Championship five times, with his first reign holding the record for the second-longest in company history. Additionally, he is the first wrestler to win consecutive Royal Rumble matches, winning in 1990 and 1991. In 1994, he departed the WWF to sign for rival promotion World Championship Wrestling (WCW).

Hogan subsequently won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship six times, and also holds the record for the longest reign in company history. In 1996, he adopted 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.

He also headlined WCW’s annual flagship event Starrcade three times, including the most profitable WCW pay-per-view ever at the event’s 1997 edition. Aside from those promotions, Hogan also performed for the American Wrestling Association (AWA), New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), and Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).

He notably won the original IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the northern and southern iterations of the NWA Southeastern Heavyweight Championship outside WWE. He returned to WWE from WCW in 2002, and won the WWE championship for a sixth time, before departing in 2003.

He was inducted individually into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, and he will be inducted for the second time in 2020 as a member of the New World Order alongside fellow former stablemates Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman. During and after wrestling, Hogan had an extensive acting career, beginning with his 1982 antagonist role in Rocky III.

He has starred in several movies (including No Holds Barred, Suburban Commando and Mr. Nanny) and three television shows (Thunder in Paradise, Hogan Knows Best and China, IL), as well as in Right Guard commercials and the video game, Hulk Hogan’s Main Event. He was also the frontman for The Wrestling Boot Band, whose sole record, Hulk Rules, reached #12 on the Billboard Top Kid Audio chart in 1995.

On July 15, 2018, Hogan was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame. Later that same night, he was invited backstage to WWE’s Extreme Rules pay-per-view event and was briefly mentioned on the event’s kickoff show. Hogan made his on-screen return on November 2, 2018, as the host of Crown Jewel. Hogan next appeared on the January 7, 2019 episode of Raw to present a tribute to his longtime friend and colleague Mean Gene Okerlund, who had died five days prior.

It was the first time Hogan had appeared in a WWE ring in North America since his 2015 firing. Hogan subsequently appeared on a WWE Network special where he spoke further of his relationship with Okerlund. Hogan inducted his Mega-Maniacs tag team partner and longtime friend Brutus Beefcake into the WWE Hall of Fame on April 6, 2019.

The following night at WrestleMania 35, he made a surprise appearance at the beginning of the show alongside WrestleMania host Alexa Bliss, welcoming fans to the event and parodying his gaffe from WrestleMania XXX, when he incorrectly referred to the Superdome as the Silverdome. On June 17, 2019, Raw, WWE aired a Hogan interview about the U.S. Women’s World Cup soccer team.

On July 22, 2019, Raw, Hogan appeared as part of the “Raw Reunion” special. Hogan was one of the speakers during the “Toast to Raw” segment along with Steve Austin. On September 30, 2019 edition of Raw, he and Ric Flair unveiled a 10 man tag team match, for Crown Jewel. On December 9, 2019, it was announced that Hogan would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame a second time as a member of the New World Order, together with fellow former nWo stablemates Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, and Sean Waltman.

Hulk Hogan Comeback

In 1996, he surprised his fans and every one after he made a remarkable come back to the wrestling arena. He re-invented himself as the Hollywood Hogan, he established himself as a villain and gained popularity among wrestling fans again.

He shared his experiences as a professional wrestler in his autobiography, Hollywood Hulk Hogan. He gave viewers an inside look into his family life in the reality series Hogan Knows Best, which first aired in the summer of 2005.

For four seasons viewers and fans tuned in to see the famous wrestler face a variety of personal and parental challenges, including getting marriage counseling with his wife and responding to his daughter go on dates.

Hulk Hogan Health

Bollea has suffered numerous health problems, particularly with his back since retiring as a wrestler following the years of heavy weight training and jolting as a wrestler. In January 2013, Bollea filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the Laser Spine Institute for $50 million, citing that the medical firm persuaded him to undergo a half-dozen “unnecessary and ineffective” spinal operations that worsened his back problems.

He claimed that the six procedures he underwent over a period of 19 months only gave him short-term relief. After the procedures failed to cure his back problems, Bollea underwent traditional spinal fusion surgery in December 2010, which enabled him to return to his professional activities. In addition, the Laser Spine Institute used his name in their advertisements without his permission.

Hulk Hogan Belzer lawsuit

On March 27, 1985, just days prior to the inaugural WrestleMania, Richard Belzer requested on his cable TV talk show Hot Properties that Hogan demonstrates one of his signature wrestling moves. After consistently refusing but being egged on by Belzer, Hogan put Belzer in a modified Guillotine choke, which caused Belzer to pass out.

When Hogan released him, Belzer hit his head on the floor, sustaining a laceration to the scalp that required a brief hospitalization. Belzer sued Hogan for $5 million and later settled out of court. On October 20, 2006, on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show, it was claimed (with Hogan in the studio) that the settlement totaled $5 million, half from Hogan and half from Vince McMahon.

During his June 23, 2008, appearance on Sirius Satellite Radio’s The Howard Stern Show, Belzer suggested that the real settlement amount was actually closer to $400,000.

Hulk Hogan Testimony in McMahon trial

In 1994, Hogan, having received immunity from prosecution, testified in the trial of Vince McMahon relating to shipments of steroids received by both parties from WWF physician Dr. George T. Zahorian.

Under oath, Hogan admitted that he had used anabolic steroids since 1976 to gain size and weight, but that McMahon had neither sold him the drugs nor ordered him to take them. The evidence given by Hogan proved extremely costly to the government’s case against McMahon. Due to this and jurisdictional issues, McMahon was found not guilty.

Hulk Hogan Gawker lawsuit

In April 2012, a sex tape between Hogan and Heather Clem, the estranged wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge, emerged online. On October 4, 2012, Gawker released a short clip of the video. In the video, Bubba can be heard saying that the couple can “do their thing” and he will be in his office. At the end of the video, he can also be heard telling Heather, “If we ever need to retire, here is our ticket”.

Hogan later told Howard Stern on his satellite radio show that, “it was a bad choice and a very low point” and “I was with some friends and made a wrong choice. It has devastated me, I have never been this hurt”. On October 15, 2012, Hogan filed a lawsuit against Bubba and Heather Clem for invading his privacy. A settlement with Bubba was announced on October 29, 2012. Afterward, Clem publicly apologized to Hogan.

In December 2012, a federal court, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, found that Gawker’s publication of the video snippet did not violate U.S. copyright law. Hogan then joined Gawker in the ongoing action against Heather Clem in state court in Florida, alleging invasion of privacy, negligent and intentional infliction of emotional distress and seeking $100 million in damages.

On October 1, 2015, the New York Post reported that a Florida Judge granted Hogan access to Gawker’s computer system for a forensic expert to search Gawker’s computers and office. Hogan sued Gawker for $100 million for defamation, loss of privacy, and emotional pain, and on March 18, 2016, was awarded $115 million.

Also, on August 11, 2016, a Florida judge gave Hogan control of the assets of A.J. Daulerio, former Gawker editor-in-chief, who was involved in the posting of Hogan’s sex tape. Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel helped Hogan to finance his lawsuit against Gawker Media. On November 2, 2016, Gawker reached a $31 million settlement with Bollea.

Hulk Hogan Endorsements and business ventures 

Hogan created and financed a restaurant called Pastamania located in the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. It opened on the Labor Day weekend of 1995 and was heavily promoted on World Championship Wrestling’s live show Monday Nitro. The restaurant, which remained in operation for less than a year, featured such dishes as “Hulk-U’s” and “Hulk-A-Roos”.

In interviews on The Tonight Show and Late Night with Conan O’Brien, Bollea claimed that the opportunity to endorse what came to be known as the George Foreman Grill was originally offered to him, but when he failed to respond in time, Foreman endorsed the grill instead. Instead, Bollea endorsed a blender, known as the Hulk Hogan Thunder Mixer.

He has since endorsed a grill known as “The Hulk Hogan Ultimate Grill”. In 2006, Bollea unveiled his own energy drink Hogan Energy, distributed by Socko Energy. His name and likeness are also applied to a line of microwavable hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwiches sold at Wal-Mart called “Hulkster Burgers”.

On November 1, 2011, Bollea launched a new website called Hogan Nutrition, which features many nutritional and dietary products. On New Year’s Eve 2012, Bollea opened a beachfront restaurant called “Hogan’s Beach”, located in the Tampa area. The restaurant dropped Hogan’s name in October 2015. Hogan later opened Hogan’s Hangout in Clearwater Beach.

Hulk Hogan Legacy

Hulk Hogan Scandal

On July 24, 2015, WWE terminated their contract with Hogan, stating that they are “committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds”, although Hogan’s lawyer said Hogan chose to resign. The day prior, WWE removed almost all references to Hogan from their website, including his listing as a judge for Tough Enough, his merchandise from WWE Shop, and his entry from its WWE Hall of Fame page.

His DLC appearance from WWE 2K15 was taken down from sale, and his character was cut from then-upcoming WWE 2K16 game during development. The termination coincided with the publication by the National Enquirer and Radar Online of an anti-black rant made by Hogan on his controversial leaked sex tape in which he is heard expressing disgust with the notion of his daughter with any black man, referenced by repeated use of the racial slur “nigger”.

Hogan also admitted to being “a racist, to a point”. Once the recordings went public erupting in a media scandal, Hogan apologized for the remarks, which he said is “language that is offensive and inconsistent with [his] own beliefs”. Three black wrestlers who worked in the WWF and WCW with Hogan made supportive comments.

Virgil commented, “Hogan has never given me a reason to believe he is a racist” while Dennis Rodman said he “most certainly is not a racist” and Kamala added “I do not think Hogan meant harm by saying that. Hogan is my brother until he decides not to be”. Black wrestlers working in WWE made different comments.

Mark Henry said he was pleased by WWE’s “no tolerance approach to racism” response, and that he was hurt and offended by Hogan’s manner and tone. Booker T said he was shocked and called the statements unfortunate. In response to the controversy, Mattel stopped producing Hogan action figures, while Hogan’s merchandise was taken down from online stores of Target, Toys “R” Us, and Walmart.

On July 28, Radar Online reported that Hogan had also used homophobic slurs on the leaked sex tape. Days later, it was reported that Hogan had used racist language in a 2008 call to his then-imprisoned son, Nick, and also said that he hoped they would not be reincarnated as black males. Hogan gave an interview with ABC on August 31 in which he pleaded forgiveness for his racist comments, attributing these to a racial bias inherited from his neighborhood while growing up.

Hogan claimed that the term “nigger” was used liberally among friends in Tampa; however, former neighbors have disputed this claim. In the time that followed, numerous African-Americans expressed some level of support for Hogan including; The Rock, Dennis Rodman, Booker T, Kamala, Virgil, Mark Henry, Big E, and D’Angelo Dinero, who stressed his forgiveness of Hogan, whom he saw as having made a “positive mark on humanity” for over three decades.

Hulk Hogan Awards

Bollea was honored as the 2008 King of the Krewe of Bacchus, a New Orleans carnival organization. Hogan visited the Children’s Hospital of New Orleans and rode in the parade where he threw doubloons with his likeness.

Hogan received the honor in part because meeting Hogan is one of the most requested “wishes” of the terminally ill children benefited by the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Hogan has inducted in the Boys and Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame on May 3, 2018.
