During his triumphant professional wrestling career, Hulk Hogan enjoyed unprecedented success and popularity, but his post-ring career has been marked with strife. In this entertaining and evocative memoir, Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, writes candidly about growing up in Florida, his trials in the early days of the WWF, and the glory days of Hulkamania. Hogan/Bollea then transitions into an honest assessment of his family life, focusing on his son Nick's near-fatal car crash, his affair with a good friend of his daughter Brooke, and his much-publicized divorce from his wife Linda.
