Rating:  Summary: SOME TRUTH AND ALOT OF DRAMA FROM THE HULKSTER Review: THIS IS A GOOD READ FROM THE MOST POPULAR WRESTLER OF ALL TIME. THE HULKSTER TAKES US THROUGH HIS LIFE AND CAREER AS A WRESTLER AND ENTERTAINER. HE HAS ALOT OF INTERESTING STORIES, INSIGHTS, AND OPINIONS TO SHARE ABOUT THE VERY MYSTERIOUS AND INTERESTING WORLD OF PRO WRESTLING. ALOT OF HIS STORIES ARE STRETCHED IN TRUTH A BIT BUT THE BOOK OVERALL IS WORTH READING. LONG LIVE HULKAMANIA. RECOMMENDED.
Rating:  Summary: Terry "Hulk Hogan" Bollea's autobiography Review: This is a great autobiograpy! Hulk tells his story and tells it so well I couldn't put the book down. If you were a fan in your childhood, it's quite an experience to relive some of those moments though the eyes of your immortal hero, now made mortal. Hulk holds little back as he descibes what it took to get Wrestling to the point it is today. Getting his perspective on his greatist matches and what really went on when the cameras are off makes a convincing case that it's not all fake and the politics the never surface sometimes aren't too far fetched from the fabricated storylines they sell to the public. In the end Hulk admits he has no idea why people like him so much, what Hulk apparently doesn't understand is that it's his foulable qualities that make everyone relate to him. Yes he will be the first to tell you; he has an ego, but at his core Hulk Hogan is very down to earth, a must read for any current and former fans.
Rating:  Summary: Good, but not great Review: This is a very good book. It is for many wrestling fans who want to see the inside view of Hulkamania. However, it does bring some big truths out of it. Hulkamania did run wild. However, it was not by Hulk Hogan. It was by Vince McMahon. McMahon was the brains behind Hulkamania. Hogan just ran with it. This book shows that if there wasn't a Vince McMahon, there wouldn't be a Hulk Hogan. If you don't want to believe me on this, read the book, and find out from Hogan's mouth.
Rating:  Summary: Outstanding insight into the Hulkster Review: This is an excellent book for any Hulk or Wrestling fan. It gives indepth insight into the Hulk's personality and life in a highly personable fashion. The Hulk's personality truly comes through in the book. Outstanding collection of color pictures of his career as well.
Rating:  Summary: The Babe Ruth of Wrestleing Review: This is definately a book that you wont be able to put down. It is candid, funny and all in all a very interesting book. He takes you through the ins and outs of wrestling, the highs and lows of his career, the good the bad and the ugly of the sport, and the business side of wrestling. A definate must own! Hulk Hogan is definately the "Babe Ruth of Wrestling"! I recommend this book to all the hulkamaniacs both young and old. Cheers to you Hulk Hogan on a job well done.
Rating:  Summary: Egomania runs wild Review: This is quite possibly the worst autobiography ever written. Hulk Hogan was great at dodging all of his perils in life and coming up with a nice Walt Disney version of his life. This book is the absolute biggest joke of a wrestling book ever written. So many of these books out there help give some credibility to professional wrestling. The wrestling business deserves respect, it deserves coverage in all the major papers despite what the elitist reporters may think and has deserved better treatment for years and years. This book urinates on that concept and discredits professional wrestling. Hulk Hogan may have been a big name in wrestling, but he is a terrible in ring worker and also the man who always most embarrasses wrestling and carries the least credibility of a wrestler. If you want to read a great professional wrestling autobiography read Roddy Piper's book, Dynamite Kid's sensational piece, Foley's first book, Missy Hyatt's book, Bobby Heenan's book, Lou Thesz's masterpiece, or Jesse Ventura's book. These individuals told their story and didn't sugarcoat or patronize the reader. These books are a credit to the industry. It is a shame that Hulk Hogan is Mr. Politician in no matter what he does. He was at least able to protect his enormous ego in this book which is my guess was the purpose of the book. This was just another ego tool of Mr. Terry Bollea. It worked ten fold!
Rating:  Summary: BEST BOOK ever.... Review: This is the best book that I have ever read, and I HATE READING. So considering that it must be a pretty good book. Its interesting enough being about Hulk Hogan. But he also tells the stories in an interesting point of veiw,and keeps the chapters switching up and keeping you interested, instead of dragging on chapter after chapter. If you like Hogan, or just like sports-entertainment (wrestling) I suggest reading this book, EVEN IF Hogan isn't one of your favorite wrestlers.
Rating:  Summary: Hulkamania's running sorta wild, but not really.... Review: This was an entertaining book, sure, but it really doesn't tell the reader all that much about Hulk Hogan or the Wrestling industry that you couldn't find elsewhere. Hogan seems to tell a great anecdote, but skimps on details. Rowdy Roddy Piper is only mentioned once, although the Hogan-Piper feud was HUGE back in the day. Macho Man Randy Savage is written off as a "Horse's bum," but never does "the Hulkster" explain why he felt that way. Other wrestling icons who helped get Hogan over with the people don't even get mentioned. The book is random, unfocused, and short changes all the people who helped make Hulk Hogan into the legendary performer he is today. It's like a bunch of unconnected incidents put into Hulkalogical order and printed with BIG pictures.
Rating:  Summary: hulk hogan review Review: this was good book to read. It gave a little insight to the personal life of him that most people dont see.
