(Hulk) Hogan's ZEROES
If we’ve learned anything about shows whose titles claim SOMEONE knows best, it’s that the titular character rarely, if ever does. Melissa brings us a story to prove this point - an aspiring rocker, Terry Gene Bollea, hit the gym and was plucked from obscurity to be the next big wrestler. Rebranded as “HULK HOGAN” (heard of him?), he went on to become rich, famous, and utterly despicable - a sub-zero on the winsome scale. From steroids to sex scandals, and a cameo you DID NOT see coming, this story will have you tapping out by the end!
