Hulkamania Lives Forever!
Hulk Hogan is no doubt one of the greatest wrestlers of all times. He's has lasted decades against the ferocious power of his foes. My dad watched him wrestle, and people today still watch him wrestle! He spawned Hulkamania, a fan cult that lasts till today. Hogan is a fan favorite, and a killer of merchandise. He has been on toys, documentaries, meet and greets, and even a cartoon. This cartoon was called Hulk Hogan's Rock 'N' Wrestling. It lasted 26 episodes, and focused on Hogan and other wrestlers. He led a heroic group of wrestlers against some rebels, led by Roddy Piper. The show had a predictable plot: Heroes defeating villains in wacky situations. Another odd thing is that voice actors played all the wrestlers, not the true people. Roddy was played by Charlie Adler, of eventual Tiny Toons fame. Hulk Hogan wasn't even played by himself, he was played by Brad Garrett, a star of Everyone Love Raymond. Well, I have to say that the show is terribly animated. The plots were idiotic and odd, the wrong kind of odd. It's undeniably goofy, like the old TMNT show. But while that was cool and funny, this is dumb and frightening. I have to give it 2.5 out of 5 for having good voice actors, but terrible plot and animation.
