Those douchebag Hogans are in the press again, this time it's because Hulk Hogan, aka Terry Bollea, claims Post cereal "humiliated" him by using his likeness in a Cocoa Puffs commercial. For real. (Cuz his, and his family's, own actions didn't humiliate him at all.)
The commercial, featured here, shows a character named Hulk Boulder entering the ring with Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble, whom he defeats handily before losing to Bam-Bam, Barney's son. Hulk Hogan claims the company used his likeness without permission and humiliated him by having said likeness lose to Bam-Bam. In the lawsuit, Hogan claims he used the stagename, "Hulk Boulder," early in his career, before changing it at Vince McMahon's behest. Hogan (Bollea) complained about the commercial in August of last year, but Post continued airing it.
Terry Bollea and his entire family are a complete joke. Every, single bit of respect this guy once commanded as an American legend - let's face it, Hulk Hogan almost single-handedly made professional wrestling something to watch - has been lost,
Hulk Hogan has his own food line, which is sold at Wal-Mart. The line consists of Hogan Energy drink and Hulkster Burgers - microwavable hamburgers.
