Legendary 1980s 💪wrestler Hulk Hogan suddenly died and some social media users are now just finding out Hulk Hogan's real name isn't Hulk Hogan... 😲 but 📛Terry Bollea.
The origin of Hulk Hogan's stage name goes: "It was after appearing on a local talk show in Memphis with TV’s Incredible Hulk, Lou Ferrigno, that he began calling himself Terry “The Hulk” Boulder because he was so much larger than Ferrigno. He first appeared in WWE in 1979 and was named Hulk Hogan by Vincent J. McMahon."
I knew Hulk Hogan was a wrestling name but I figured "Hogan" was still his real first or last name and "Hulk" was fake. 🤦🏾♀️ Hulk Bollea or Hulk Terry definitely isn't as striking as Hulk Hogan. 📛Hogan however is a real first name (it is Irish for 'youth') and surname.
I actually met a Hogan before. 🙋🏾♀️ He was a bank worker who helped me and I remarked that he had a cool name (at the time), in which he thanked me. No, I didn't ask if he was named after Hulk Hogan, but I assumed. 🤷🏾♀️
