Hulk Hogan's hairline

[mcstoklasa]

[The Beast Disincarnate]

The three biggest stars in wrestling are bald, that speaks volume. I mean: if you can be a badass motherf***er with a bald head, that means you're ridiculously charismatic.

As for Hogan, the blond skullet/mustache combo is so iconic that if someone does the same, every one would call him Hulk Hogan. Do you know a lot of people that can say that they basically trademarked an appearance?

The balding/skullet look is the only reason Hulk would allow Cesaro to win the Andre Memorial Battle Royal.

It had to be Cesaro, Paul Heyman, or the shocking return of pre-plugs Chavo Guerrero.

'Warrior says in his new Ebay auction:

Why? People have asked, "Why so long to do a WM VI Two-Pack with Hulk Hogan and you?” Ladies and gentlemen, one of the biggest (and funniest) obstacles was that Hogan had a major problem with an action figure of himself with the "real" recession of his hairline at the time. Peter Skourtis, the “cook in the kitchen” at JAKKS, who does not get the credit he incredibly deserves, came up with the idea (one of the many he is always coming up with) to do the Two-Pack with a “post-match” look. I thought the idea was great! Being the perfectionist I am, I asked about the layout of the rest of the set, because if it is post-match look, Hogan would not have a belt and the collectible value of the figures is set by the legitmacy of the design, especially when specific sets are done as a tribute to great matches. We didn’t get that far. The first response was that they might have to put Hogan in his doo-rag because he was balking about not having it. I said it would be silly to have Ultimate Warrior post-match, if Hogan is pre-match. I happened to admire the creativity that Peter put into his design idea and having Hogan in one look and Ultimate Warrior in another just didn’t cut it. If Hogan had that much of a problem with it, I said, then just do pre-match look on both he and I. Anyway, after a few exchanges and “markups” of rough drafts of Hogan’s hairline, it got worked out. I have the pics to prove it and so I offer them as an "amusing" part of this auction’s package. I thought it was hilarious (and revealing) while it was going on and, as I have often said, there is something really weird about the character of a grown man who makes such a big deal out his hair when it is beyond their control. Self-Destruction, anyone?!?'

Bruno got over, and his wig is like Dana Carvey levels of bad.

Always amused me to see Hogan portrayed as having a full head of blonde flowing locks in the Rock 'n' Wrestling cartoons

The real question:

How is Rock's head being far, far too large for his body not affecting his film career negatively?

I can't remember where I heard it, but apparently Hogan would get really pissed off at bald jokes made at his expense too.

Yes, apparently it was forbidden to mention. I don't know that it was ever acknowledged until Vince Russo got to WCW and did his "shoot" stuff on him.

Having a shaved head in the 80s was considered to look waaay sillier than being balding.

It was a good little look for a wrestler IMO. You have this big old tanned guy named HULK, who happens to have a balding mullet that makes him look like 100. It's like the perfect comic book character, this superhero who somehow manages to find the strength to kick so much ass with his amazing muscles despite looking like everyones grandpa.

I always thought when did the beard for the nWo, he should have shaved his head too.
