Hulk Hogan: The Iconic Wrestler’s Life In Photos Over The Years

Hulk Hogan was born Terry Eugene Bollea in Augusta, Georgia on August 11, 1953. He began wrestling back in the late 70s, gaining public notoriety in the 1980s after joining the World Wrestling Federation (WWE). As Hulk Hogan, he helped popularize wrestling as a combination of entertainment and sport, becoming an icon after headlining the group’s signature event WrestleMania (he won five times). In terms of accolades, he also won two Royal Rumble matches in a row back in 1990 and 1991, being the first to ever do so. Hulk later took his persona to the WCW and won the World Heavyweight Championship six times, and helped front the New World Order (nWo) show. He’s been married twice: first to ex-wife Linda Hogan from 1983 – 2009, with whom he shares daughter Brooke and son Nick. Shortly after his controversial divorce, he re-married a second time to professional makeup artist Jennifer McDaniel. The pair split after 11 years of marriage, with Hulk filing for divorce in Oct. 2021. In 2023, he married a woman named Sky Daily.
