This permanent A list wrestler is pretty much retired.

Getting up there in age and not taking “supplements” any longer, he looks like an old man who has had a hard life.

He used to be the most recognizable wrestler on the planet by a long shot, and there he was in a store surrounded by people, and no one even gave him a second glance or knew who he was.

Hulk Hogan Thought His Alter Ego Would Get A Two-Year WWE Run

There was a point in 2003 when Hogan tried a completely new character: Mr. America. He revealed his expectations with the gimmick and why he believes it did not work out.

“I thought that Mr. America was going to kind of do like, the Midnight Rider thing that Dusty Rhodes did in Florida, be around for two, three years, mess up all the main events,” Hogan said while appearing on Ringside Collectibles’ YouTube channel. “When I got there, we had a six-man tag and of course, I thought Mr. America was going to rock on and be a huge angle and they said, ‘Hey, brother, you’re doing the job tonight.’ And I went, ‘Hmm, I guess this isn’t going very far’ … I just figured they didn’t like the gimmick, so, at the end of the match, I kind of pulled the mask up if you guys remembered and showed everybody it was me.” – Source

Times Hulk Hogan Got Caught Lying

Hulk Hogan said he turned down a starring role in The Wrestler

“The Wrestler” was a critically acclaimed movie from 2008. It won the Golden Lion Award at the 65th Venice International Film Festival, and lead actor Mickey Rourke won a BAFTA award, a Golden Globe Award, an Independent Spirit Award ,and even got an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for his performance in the movie.

However, according to Hulk Hogan on “The Howard Stern Show” (h/t 411Mania), he was offered Mickey Rourke’s lead role three times. Reiterating the claims to Digital Spy, Hogan said, “When the script for ‘The Wrestler’ kept coming to me I said, ‘This movie is so good if you put me in the film as a wrestler people are going to say, no credibility, Hulk Hogan isn’t a good actor, whatever Hollywood thinks of me.'”

Hulk Hogan says he wrestled 400 days in one year because of the time difference

In his second autobiography “My Life Outside The Ring,” Hogan made the outlandish claim that he once wrestled 400 days in one year. Because of the time difference flying back and forth from Japan, Hogan claims his years were longer that 365 days. Hogan said, “If I say I wrestled four hundred days a year, it’s no exaggeration. My years were actually longer than 365 days. There were times when I’d fly back and forth to Japan twice a week just to wrestle. Now it was nothing to wrestle in Madison Square Garden one day, then fly all the way to the Egg Dome in Tokyo the same day, ’cause you’d gain fourteen hours, and then fly back to the West Coast and so on … So I could wrestle in Japan today and then fly back across the International Date Line and land in another town yesterday. I was constantly adding days to my years!”
