Born Terry Bollea in 1953, Hogan is arguably the most famous name in professional wrestling history and was the face of the industry throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
Known for his red and yellow outfits, handlebar moustache and iconic “Real American” entrance music, he transformed the sport into a mainstream entertainment phenomenon.
He debuted in 1977 and wrestled well into his 50s - becoming 12-time world champion while at it.
His career spanned decades and included multiple returns to the WWE, where he headlined some of the most memorable events in wrestling history.
