1. Hulkamania Nearly Stopped Running
To an entire generation, Hulk Hogan was the man, and it's fair to say that he's still the first name on many pairs of lips when asked to name a professional wrestler. The prototypical WWF Superstar of the 1980's, Hogan - along with Vince McMahon's vision - helped revolutionise the entire wrestling industry, for better or for worse (depending on your point of view). Even those who don't like the man must admit he was one of the biggest names around, and a huge draw. Hulkamania ruled the world, and Hogan raked in millions of dollars, becoming a household name in the process. So, the thought that he'd later be suicidal must come as quite the shock to his legions of fans, right? Following one WWE published autobiography, Hogan penned another, this time released outside the jurisdiction of the company with which he made his name. Without doubt, the most controversial part of the tale is when Hogan admits to having suicidal thoughts, contemplating taking his own life as his marriage and fortune were falling to pieces. To children of the 80's and 90's, Hogan had it made - money, fame, physical health, the guy had it all. Reading about Hulk apparently putting a gun to his head is incredibly harrowing, and a reminder of what the entertainment industry, and all the pressure that comes with it, can do to people.
