Bonus fact: Hulk Hogan's trademark shirt rip was originally a total accident, and it only happened because his AWA tag-team partners Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell decided to tear it from his back before a six-man match in the Rosemont Horizon (now Chicago's Allstate Arena).
The live crowd went bananas at seeing Hulk's muscular frame burst through the clothing, and he decided to make the shirt rip a regular part of his act from that day on.

Hulk thought of that himself, but Linda had other plans to make the gig easier. Find out what they were in this week's article, along with a whole host of other wrestling-related facts.
