But there are times that even the best of athletes lag behind when age and time come into factor. Similarly, an unearthed picture of the wrestler might shock his fans.

A throwback photo of Hulk Hogan shows a completely different physique

In 2013, a fan posted a photo of the former WWE Champion that showed Hogan in a peculiar light. Not only were his legs much smaller and what many people refer to as ‘chicken legs’ but his abs don’t look any better. But his arms, as always, were pretty massive. However, as everyone is aware, he successfully reinvented himself.

Even back in the day, the most defining feature of Hogan’s character was his arms. Dubbed the ’24-inch pythons’, his fans loved it every time Hogan would pump them out or flex in the ring. While his optimism and hero-like aura made his early career flow by like a cool breeze, his arms made him stand out. In fact, a huge chunk of pro wrestling fans recognize him because of that.

Apart from his arms and physique, one thing that captured the audience’s attention was his dedication to his work. Hogan was a clear wrestler’s wrestler. He worked in the ring every opportunity he got. Sometimes even working more than he needed to.

Apart from that, his return to WWE saw him face off against a lot of generational talent that went on to do bigger things in life, like Dwayne Johnson and Brock Lesnar.
