Terry Gene Bollea (born August 11, 1953), better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan, is an American professional wrestler, actor, television personality, and musician signed to Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA).
Hogan enjoyed mainstream popularity in the mid 1980s through the early 1990s as the all-American character Hulk Hogan in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF—now WWE), and was notable in the mid-to-late 1990s as Hollywood Hogan, the villainous nWo leader, in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). Following the closure of WCW, he made a brief return to WWE in the early 2000s before revising his heroic character by combining elements of his two most famous personas.
Hogan was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. 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. In his first reign as WCW World Heavyweight Champion, Hogan held the title for 469 days from July 17, 1994 to October 29, 1995—the longest ever reign for this championship.

Richard Morgan Fliehr (born February 25, 1949) is an American professional wrestler, better known by his ring name Ric Flair. Also known as "The Nature Boy", Flair is considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time with a professional career that spans 40 years. He is currently working for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA), and is noted for his lengthy and highly decorated tenures with the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), World Championship Wrestling (WCW), and the World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (now known as WWE). Flair is officially recognized by WWE, TNA and PWI as a 16-time World Heavyweight Champion (seven-time NWA Champion, seven-time WCW Champion and two-time WWF Champion) although his actual tally of World Championship reigns varies by source—Flair considers himself a 21-time world champion.
In World Championship Wrestling (WCW), he also had two stints as a booker—in 1989–1990 and 1994. Flair also became the first and only man to have won the WWF Championship in a Royal Rumble match, when he accomplished this in the 1992 edition of the event. In 2012, Flair became the first ever double inductee in the WWE Hall of Fame, first inducted in 2008 for his individual career, and for a second time in 2012 as a member of the Four Horsemen. He is also an NWA Hall of Famer (class of 2008). Flair's hair styles and mannerisms are based on those of Buddy Rogers, who previously and famously used the "Nature Boy" gimmick in the 1950s and '60s. Coincidentally, Flair also followed Rogers in becoming the second man to win both the WWF and the NWA World Heavyweight Championships.

[commentating on a spectacular wrestling move Psichosis attempted from the top rope]::Mike Tenay: Psichosis tries a twisting Asai Moonsault!::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: What?
[after Diamond Dallas Page falls crotch first on the top rope]::Tony Schiavone: I would imagine there is more ringing than the ring right now!
Gene Okerlund: Hulk Hogan, excuse me. Excuse me. What in the world are you thinking?::Hulk Hogan: Mean Gene the first thing you gotta do is to tell these people to shut up if they want to hear what I've gotta say.::Gene Okerlund: I have been with you for so many years for you to join up with the likes of these two men absoulutely makes me SICK to my stomach! And I think that these people here and a lot of people around the whole wrestling world have had just about enough of this man and this man and you want to put yourself in this group? You've gotta be...kidding me!::Hulk Hogan: Well the first thing you've gotta realize brother is that this right here is the future of wrestling. You can call this the New World Order of wrestling brother. These two men came from a great big organization up north and everybody was wondering about who the third man was. Well who knows more about that organization than me brother?::Gene Okerlund: I've been there and done that. You have made the wrong decision in my opinion.::Hulk Hogan: Well let me tell you something, I made that orgainization brother! I made the people rich up there. I made the people that ran that organization rich up there. And when it all came to pass, the name Hulk Hogan, the man Hulk Hogan got bigger than the entire organization brother! And then Billionaire Ted amigo, he wanted to talk turkey with Hulk Hogan. Well Billionaire Ted promised me movies brother. Billionaire Ted promised me millions of dollars. And Billionaire Ted promised me world caliber matches. And as far as Billionaire Ted, Eric Bischoff and entire WCW goes, I'm bored brother. That's why I want these two guys here, these so called Outsiders, these are the men I want as my friends. They are the new blood of professional wrestling and not only are we going to take over the whole wrestling business, with Hulk Hogan, the new blood and the monsters with me. We will destroy everything in our path Mean Gene.::Gene Okerlund: [refering to the increasing garbage being thrown in the ring] Look at all of this crap in this ring! This is what's in the future for you if you want to hang around the likes of this man Hall, and this man Nash.::Hulk Hogan: As far as I'm concerned, all this crap in this ring represents these fans out here. For two years brother! For two years, I held my head high. I did everything for the charities. I did everything for the kids. And the reception I got when came out here, you fans can stick it brother. Because if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, you people wouldn't be here. If it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff would still be selling meat from a truck in Minneapolis. And if it wasn't for Hulk Hogan, all of these "Johnny come latelys" that you see out here wrestling wouldn't be here. I was selling the world out brother while they were bumming gas to put in their car to get to high school. So the way it is now brother, with Hulk Hogan and the New World Organization of wrestling brother, me and the new blood by my side. Whatcha gonna do when the New World Order runs wild on you? Whatcha gonna do? [Grabs Mean Gene] What are you gonna do?::Gene Okerlund: Hey, don't touch me! Don't touch me, I'm going to see the lawyers! Tony, Dusty, Bobby, Dammit let's get back to you!::Tony Schiavone: All right. We have seen the end of Hulkamania. For Bobby "The Brain" Heenan, for Dusty Rhodes, For "Mean" Gene Okerlund, I don't know...I'm Tony Schiavone. Hulk Hogan, you can go to hell! We're outta here. Straight to hell.

And it's Sting and he doesn't look to good.::Dusty Rhodes: [Hulk Hogan comes down the aisleway] Hulkamania!::Tony Schiavone: HULK HOGAN! HULK HOGAN'S HERE!::Dusty Rhodes: HULK HOGAN IS IN THE BUILDING!::Tony Schiavone: You damn right he is!::Dusty Rhodes: Go get em Hulkster!::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Yeah but who's side is he on?::Dusty Rhodes: Go get em-- What are you talking about?::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Who's side is he on?::Dusty Rhodes: What are you talking about? [Hogan tears his shirt and clears the ring of the outsiders] Get em Hulkster! Go get em baby!::Tony Schiavone: Yeah you're going to get some of this now!::Dusty Rhodes: Who's bad now boys?::Tony Schiavone: Hulk Hogan arrived-- [Hogan then drops the leg on Savage] OH MY GOD!!::Dusty Rhodes: WHAT IS HE DOING?!!! IS HE THE THIRD MAN?!::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: He's the third man!::Dusty Rhodes: WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?!!::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Hulk Hogan has betrayed WCW! He is the third man in this picture!::Tony Schiavone: Oh my god!::Dusty Rhodes: What is going on?!!::Tony Schiavone: Oh my god!!::Dusty Rhodes: Are you kidding me?::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: Probally the lowest shot ever given to professional wrestling. That man did right there, Hulk Hogan.::Tony Schiavone: Let's get everyone out of the dressing room right now and kick his rear end!
[Commentating on a brawl on the "beach" entrance stage]::Bobby "The Brain" Heenan: OH! Wipeout!::Dusty Rhodes: I was just gonna say that!

When I was 15 years old
I weighed only 96 lbs
Then my PE teacher told me about anabolic steroids
My body started to swell
My penis didn't look too well
After deep thought meditation
I joined the Wrestling Federation
When I step into the ring
Little Hulksters scream & shout
Although I'm feeling really
I can't keep my hair from falling out
Macho grabs me by the hair
Throws me up into the air
There goes another 60 strands
Out into the screaming fans
I'm Hulk Hogan
(Pre-Hook x2)
