My Life Outside the Ring by Hulk Hogan

My Life Outside the Ring by Hulk Hogan

Hulk Hogan, born Terry Bollea, burst onto the professional wrestling scene in the late 70s and went on to become a world wrestling champion many times over. From humble beginnings, this giant of a man escaped a pre-ordained life of construction work to become one of the most recognisable celebrities on the planet. He did it through sheer will, grit and a determination to do more than others thought possible. From the outside, his story was one of a charmed life -- he was at the top of his career, had a wonderful and loving family and a lifelong fan base who worshipped him. Of course he had his up and downs -- including hints of steroid abuse and his falling out with the WWE and Vince McMahon -- but it's been the last two years that have tested Hogan more than any other in his lifetime. In 2007, while riding the success of his reality show, Hogan Knows Best, his son, Nick, was involved in a tragic car accident that left his best friend in critical condition. Then Linda, his wife, left him after 23 years of marriage, his beloved daughter Brooke blamed him for the breakup and his son went to jail. The tabloid media had a field day. The sudden turmoil and tragedy surrounding Hogan took its toll. In My Life Outside the Ring, Hogan unabashedly recounts these events, revealing how his newfound clarity steadied him during the most difficult match of his life -- and how he emerged from the battle feeling stronger than ever before.
