Hulk Hogan research project: Separating the fact from the fiction of the early days of Hulk Hogan.

By: Karl Stern (@wiwcool, karl@whenitwascool.com)

This is an older research project that I worked on, along with, the late wrestling historian known as Clawmaster.  He and I and several other wrestling researchers dug deep into match records, news papers, and other printed media to find out the real origins of Hulk Hogan's wrestling career.  Did Hulk Hogan start out wrestling under a mask?  When did he actually start wrestling?  Did he quit for a while and work on the docks?  When was he Sterling Golden? Terry Boulder?  All of these questions and more are answered in this free research project.
