Hulk Hogan was born with the name "Terry Gene Bolleamany". That didn't last long however as he has been called by numerous nicknames including "The Hulkster", "Hulkamania", "Hulk", "Terry Boulder", "Hollywood Hogan", "Thunder Lips", "Sterling Golden", and "Mr. America". Besides being the world's most recognized wrestler, Hogan also plays bass guitar in several rock bands who perform in the Tampa Bay, Florida area. In fact, the Hulk spent a decade as a professional guitarist before he ever stepped into a ring! He was a major player in getting the general public to accept pro wrestling as an acceptable form of entertainment. Sports Illustrated magazine even made him the first wrestler to appear on their cover!
