MY LIFE OUTSIDE THE RING
The man behind Hulkmania reveals for the first time the private person behind the very public persona, opening up about his childhood, his thirty-year wrestling career, and his more recent personal heartbreak
Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional wrestling scene in the late 1970s and went on to become a world wrestling champion many times over. From humble beginnings, this giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of dock and construction work in Port Tampa, Florida, to become one of the most recognizable celebrities on the planet. He did it through sheer will, grit, determination, and a drive to always do more than what others thought possible. From the outside, his story was one of a charmed life – at the top of his career, he had a wonderful and loving family and a lifelong fan base who worshipped him. Of course he had his ups and downs – including hints of steroid abuse and his falling out with WWE and Vince McMahon – but it’s been the last two years that have tested Hogan more than any other in his lifetime.
In 2007, while riding the massive success of his VH1 reality TV show, Hogan Knows Best, his son Nick had a tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical condition. Then Linda, Hulk’s wife, left him after 23 years of marriage, and his beloved daughter Brooke blamed him for the breakup. The tabloid media had a field day. His son went to jail, and then unflattering jailhouse conversations between him and his son were released to the press. This sudden turmoil and tragedy took its toll on Hogan: “I felt like I'd been kicked in the chest by a mule.” He sunk into a deep depression, seeing no way out, until one fateful phone call.
In My Life Outside The Ring, Hulk unabashedly recounts these events, revealing how his newfound clarity steadied him during the most difficult match of his life – and how he emerged from the battle feeling stronger than ever.
