The Mane Attraction

Hulk Hogan single-handedly turned professional wrestling into a global entertainment phenomenon. His match against André the Giant at WrestleMania III in front of 93,000 people is the most watched wrestling event in history. He tore his shirt, pointed at the crowd, and made an entire generation believe. Pure Leo theater on a planetary scale.
