Dream Casting Netflix's Hulk Hogan Movie

Hulkamania wasn't limited to what Hulk Hogan did in the ring, of course. He was a cross-cultural phenomenon whose appearance in Rocky III kicked off his meteoric rise (there's arguably a case to cast a young Sylvester Stallone, but it's probably best to start the film after Hogan's star is already born, as it were).

If Hogan wants to tell the whole story of Hulkamania, he needs to tell the world about the things that didn't quite work out too. That would include WWE's attempt to leverage his movie star status into a success for No Holds Barred, which teamed Hogan up with Tom Lister Jr (in the guise as Zeus).

That saw Lister's involvement in WWE storylines and there's only one man who could pull off the physicality and the performance requirements for Zeus (other than Lister himself): Terry Crews.
