Today's newer generation will never fully understand the full impact that Hulk Hogan and the Hulkamania era had on professional wrestling and that's really too bad. Some of today's styles and gimmicks are heavily influenced by Hogan and when you think about it, wrestling would not be what it is today, had there not been a Hulk Hogan. Period.
Unfortunately, his recent issues have cast a huge, dark cloud over the once adored icon. Regardless of what actually did transpire, you cannot simply dismiss everything Hogan did for the industry. It would be like someone asking me to delete my childhood. It's just not possible.
With that said, the 80's were ruled by Hulkamania and the power of the 24-inch pythons, brother! Fans hung on every word he said and lived by his motto of saying your prayers and eating your vitamins. When it came to quotes by Hogan, there were plenty and it seemed like his promos were always delivered in the presence of Mean Gene.
The number two quote on our list comes from Hulk Hogan and I'm sure everyone is familiar with it.
"Whatchya gonna do, brother... when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!"

Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
