FILE – This is a Dec. 10, 2011, file photo showing Hulk Hogan at Spike TV’s Video Game Awards in Culver City, Calif. Hulk Hogan was a one-man armed forces branch inside the ring, disposing the latest lumbering threats from Cold War Russia, Iran and even an Iraqi sympathizer with nothing more than a big boot to the face and a legdrop. Hogan, the biggest star in WWE history, never lost sight of the work performed by real American troops around the world who served their country in a far more hostile environment than the squared circle.
