Hulk Hogan, Who is One of the Biggest Stars in Professional Wrestling, Had to Hide Behind a Guitar During His Teenage Days: “I Didn’t Know What I Was Doing”

If there is someone who will make the wrestling world stand on its feet with a comeback, it would be Hulk Hogan. The man is one of the few living legends from the golden era of wrestling and WWE. His matches with the likes of Andre the Giant, Ultimate Warrior, and Randy Savage showed what wrestling truly could do.

Even during his comeback run when he beat Yokozuna at the WrestleMania main event, Hogan’s popularity was unmatched. But it was coming down, so the man did something no one would expect, switch companies and his character. His character was something that was cultivated on WWE TV for years. He just did a 360 flip and the fans loved it. But there was a time in his life that people didn’t like the Hulkster.

Hulk Hogan revealed his dependence on music during his younger days

In 2013, when bestselling author James Arthur Ray asked Hulk Hogan about being in a band, Hogan replied, “When I was young, I hid behind it [guitar] because I was fat and overweight. People wanted me around because I could play the guitar. I knew they needed me and it was an easy way in the kids. So, I was hiding behind the guitar in another way.”

He continued to say, “It was basically hiding behind because I didn’t know what I was doing or where I was going. I was avoiding facing life and even working a real job. It was an easy way to skate along for quite a while.”

With Ric Flair being alright after what seemed to be a risky move by having the last match, people are hoping to hear some news from Hogan. While a one-on-one match would not be possible at Hogan’s age and health, there is still hope that we could see him come back in a tag team match. But it would be fun if the Hulkster could do something like Flair’s YouTube channel for his last match preparations.
