A Look Back At Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling

The story of Hulk Hogan's Saturday morning cartoon.

----------
The world was rocked recently by the sad news of the passing of Terry Bollea, better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, the iconic and probably best known wrestler of all-time, whose presence was felt in all corners, from television to film to music and even animation. By 1985 Hulkamania was running riot brother, and the red bandana and 22 inch pythons were seemingly everywhere. The world of wrestling had reached unprecedented levels of popularity and Hulk Hogan had become a pop culture icon as recognisable as Rambo or Mr T, during a time when everything from Pacman to the Rubix cube was turned into a Saturday morning cartoon and the idea of turning Hulk Hogan and company into cartoon characters actually made perfect sense. Wrestlers were the closest thing to seeing a comic book superhero come to life and a wrestling-themed Saturday morning cartoon would help take Hulk Hogan's popularity with kids to new heights. Today we're paying homage to the Hulkster and his cartoon, an interesting footnote in the history of both wrestling and animation: Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n Wrestling.
