Why did Hulk Hogan shrink?

One American retired professional wrestler Terry Gene Bollea, better known by his ring as Hulk Hogan, was born on August 11, 1953. He is 69 years old.

In 1980, Hogan started competing in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (NJPW), where he earned the moniker “Ichiban” (, “Number One”) from the sport’s Japanese fans.

While still a member of the WWF, Hogan made his debut on May 13, 1980.

Over the following few years, he periodically toured the nation, competing against a diverse range of opponents, including Abdullah the Butcher and Tatsumi Fujinami.

Hogan used a very different set of wrestling techniques when fighting in Japan, concentrating on more intricate, traditional holds and maneuvers as opposed to the power-based, brawling style American fans had come to expect from him.

The Hulkster used to be 6’7″ tall and tower over his adversaries, but he has since lost around 3 inches of height due to surgery throughout the years.
