About this audiobook
You think you know
Hollywood Hulk Hogan?
Brother, you don't know squat about me.
Yeah, I'm the towering red-and-yellow warrior who revolutionized the wrestling business, the larger-than-life superhero who transformed an entire country into a horde of Hulkamaniacs. I'm the guy who spit blood and breathed fire to help create an empire called World Wrestling Entertainment.
But it wasn't always like that. Once I was a fat kid named Terry Bollea watching legends like Dusty Rhodes and Superstar Billy Graham, never dreaming I'd be a professional wrestler myself one day.
Find out what makes me cry like a baby and what makes my blood boil. Then tell me you know the man called Hollywood Hulk Hogan.
Join the Babe Ruth of wrestling on a gritty, no-holds-barred odyssey from his start in the barbaric wrestling arenas of the seventies through the humiliation of his involvement in federal steroid-abuse trials to the achievement of his greatest triumph yet.
Along the way, lock up with the likes of Mr. T, Ted Turner, The Rock®...and of course, Vince McMahon, head of World Wrestling Entertainment.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Greatest of all time. Solid storytelling from this great masters perspective. Solid and interesting at every turn.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Hogan is very egotistical along with some problematic views and behaviors and I've learned to take anything he says with a grain of salt. I grew up as a major wrestling fan and even though I haven't watched it in years, I felt it was a good time to take a step back and read some autobiographies. If it wasn't for that little challenge I made for myself, I doubt I would've read this at all. I don't want to throw shade at Hogan entirely, because he was a phenomenal wrestler and entertainer, but he didn't do it all on his own like he likes to make you believe. Still though, it was an entertaining read/listen and Hogan did a great job narrating.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Hulk Hogan has such a self-inflated image of himself that it's almost sad. And to watch him on VH1's Hogan Knows Best, it makes me wonder how we ever idolized this man in the eighties. He can pump up 90,000 in the Pontiac Silverdome like no other, but I don't need to hear him talk about how great he is. But the Hulkster and I share the same birthday and I've always loved him, so I had to have this.
