Hulk Hogan still looks incredibly fit, even in his 60s

The Hulkster may have always had a stunning body, but wrestling fans continuously doubted the validity of his build. Such was the pressure of looking good that many a wrestler back in the 80s and 90s used illegal steroids to gain muscle mass.

In 1994, the US Government went after Vince McMahon and the WWE over steroid claims. At the time, Hogan wasn’t in the company and was not under investigation.

However, driven by his ego and need to be the centre of everything, Hulk Hogan decided to testify and admit to using steroids. From then on, a stain was left on the sport of professional wrestling, a stain that still hasn’t been removed.
