Pro-wrestling extraordinaire Hulk Hogan is essentially a living legend at this point. From his unparalleled exploits in WWE and WCW to his memorable performances in popular movies like Rocky III and Suburban Commando, Hulk's name has been forever etched in pop culture.

However, last Saturday was a sad day for the Hogan family name. Earlier this weekend, the pro-wrestling legend's MMA fighter nephew David Bollea found himself on the wrong side of a vicious knockout at the Fury Challenger Series 5.

When Hulk Hogan blasted his nephew for misusing the Hogan name

It is hard to live up to a family name as popular as Hogan, and as it seems, Hulk Hogan's nephew David Bollea has dropped the ball on it. In 2014, the WWE legend threatened to sue Bollea for unfairly trying to cash in on the family name.

Per a TMZ SPORTS article, the MMA fighter was trying to push a TV series called My Girlfriend Needs a Girlfriend, a show in which he sorted through 16 different ladies to find the perfect partner for a threes*me.

To make matters worse, he was calling himself 'King Hogan' at this point, undoubtedly a ploy for marketing the show and his career.

The reality show enraged the former wrestler. During an interview with TMZ SPORTS, Hulk Hogan threatened to pursue legal action against his nephew for "diminishing" the Hogan brand:

"I've only met him twice in my entire life ... he knows nothing about the Hogan family, the Hogan name, and has no right to use it...I will pursue legal action against him for diminishing the Hogan brand. [Transcripts via TMZ Sports]"
