10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Sep 1)

2. The Secret Reason Hulk Hogan Had Three Rips In His Shirts

There's something about legendary wrestling journalist and ringside photographer Bill Apter that brings the best out in Hulk Hogan. Whenever Apter interviews Hulk, something special happens, and it was no different this week. Hogan opened up to reveal why his shirts always had three or four little rips on the back.

That wasn't a design choice. Instead, it was something Hulk's ex-wife Linda believed would make the material easier to rip. She was right.

By cutting some tears along Hogan's spine and making a tiny indent at the neck, the shirt ripped cleanly off his body. This gave Hulk peace of mind whenever he performed one of his trademark pre-match taunts, because he knew the shirt would tear evenly.

Yes, there was a ton of thought put into ensuring the Hulkster didn't look like a goof by failing to burst out of his yellow clothing. Linda's plan was genius, simple and she was probably also responsible for millions of kids infuriating parents by cutting up their t-shirts.
