Hogan said in the video, “I always remembered Randy Savage’s father, Angelo Poffo when I was a kid growing up in Tampa. He always wore those canary yellow trunks. It didn’t matter if he had a great or bad match, I just remembered how good he looked in the ring with that tan and yellow.”

Hulk Hogan got his inspiration from McDonald’s

Bright colors always attracted Hogan, and later he decided to include those colors in his gimmick.
