#2 Hulk Hogan - Venice Beach, California, originally from Augusta, Georgia
During the 1980s, California cool was all the buzz. Everyone wanted to emulate the so-cal way of life, especially the exploits of the Muscle Beach crowd.
Venice Beach, California was renown for having weightlifting equipment right next to the ocean, free for any citizen to use. Many locals took advantage of this, resulting in a large population of jacked to the max dudes.
So when Hulk Hogan debuted for the WWE, his hometown was tweaked to be Venice Beach. A look at Hogan even in his late fifties, you can see that he would fit right in at a place called Muscle Beach.
Hogan is a wealthy man thanks to a lawsuit settlement with tabloid website Gawker, and rumours abound that he may return to the WWE in some capacity in 2018.
