The name Hulk Hogan is at the top and written in golden letters. His reputation has kept WWE fans talking about him in the company even after he retired a while ago. He had the physique and characteristics necessary for 80s wrestlers, standing tall at 6’7″ and having a fearsome appearance. Notably, it was reportedly claimed that he had 24 inches biceps but never verified.
Meanwhile, a picture showing him winning over the legendary wrestler who was once the target of an Arnold Schwarzenegger prank has reappeared online. As part of an arm wrestling match, Hogan can be seen flexing off his biceps in the picture.

To give you some perspective, aside from wrestling, arm wrestling contests are a unique aspect of professional wrestling. Notably, this was from a 1983 contest in which Hogan easily defeated Ventura, who was renowned for having a physique similar to Hogan.
Hogan was one of the limited few public figures whose body Arnold Schwarzenegger complimented. Like Hogan, Ventura was a Hollywood star who appeared in action movies, and once Schwarzenegger performed a prank on him.

Schwarzenegger and all of his co-stars on the Predator set got along well and helped keep the set’s excitement and synergy amongst the actors working out and making jokes and playful jabs at one another. Notably, The Terminator himself served as the leader of the gags and pranks that played on the set.
Similarly, during the filming, Austrian Oak instructed the crew to keep the measuring tape in front of Ventura. So that he could see that his arm was larger than the 7-time Mr. Olympia champion, much to Ventura’s delight. After a few days, Ventura discovered that he actually had 3-inch smaller biceps than Schwarzenegger, and they had duped him.
