10 Wrestlers That Can't Exist In Real Life

10. Hulk Hogan

It goes without saying that Hulk Hogan could - at his peak - talk shop outside of the industry without compromising his character.

An infamous inadvertent incident with Richard Belzer aide, 'The Hulkster' was convivial and coherent despite his size and typically overblown character. If anything, his ability to shine in that particular spotlight made clear just how tight Vince McMahon's grasp on North America's pulse really was.

Hogan was so bloody aspirational that Regan-era families and young yuppies alike that he fit into society almost exactly as he was. If only it were that easy as wrestling began to pass him by.

The man trained to expertly deceive for all of his career had suddenly lost sight of the difference between shoot and work, even if we were still the "jabronie marks without a life". Either because he couldn't or simply wouldn't embrace the real world completely, Hogan's life in the industry forever confused the truth. Little fibs in passing became tap-touching whoppers in autobiographies and interviews, and nothing that emerged from underneath that fu manchu ever sounded quite so legitimate again.
