I have to agree with Skribbel24 when he says that “Hulk Hogan is arguably the most famous WWE Superstar of all time.”  I was fortunate enough to attend Wrestlemania 7 as he battled Sgt. Slaughter at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.  As a kid, I grew up watching this icon level anyone and everyone in his path and Skribbel24 has epitomized the Hulkster in a very different phase of his life with his Custom NWO Hollywood Hulk Hogan figure.  What I love about Skribbel’s customs is that he does not cut any corners and makes his customs come to life with his abilities.  I have seen photos of the Hulkster in the NWO years and this custom does a great job of capturing that moment in his life.  Specifically, he did a great job bringing to life his dyed black beard alongside his famous mustache.  Also, with the addition of a removable shirt, this adds to the display of the figure.  Head over to eBay and place a bid on Skribbel24’s Custom NWO Hollywood Hulk Hogan figure if you want to own a custom from one of the best!

Helping me ring in AFC’s 200th blog, skribbel24 has created a blast from the past with his Custom Mr. America Hulk Hogan figure. I had several opportunities to see the Hulkster in action as my Dad would take me to see the WWF when they came to San Francisco and Oakland, California. I was lucky enough to go to Wrestlemania 7 where Hulk Hogan defeated a GI Joe icon Sgt. Slaughter via his patented leg drop to win the WWF Championship. skribbel24’s custom Hulk Hogan bears an uncanny resemblence to the living and breathing wrestling icon and that is why people are in awe of his customs. topping it off with a custom box, he delivers the total package (not to be confused with Lex Luger…ok…not funny). Let’s learn more about skribbel24’s latest custom:

 

Hulk Hogan had a run as the mask-wearing spoof superhero Mr. America in 2003. The persona was supposed to be Hulk Hogan in disguise, wearing a mask. He used Hulk Hogan’s “Real American” theme music and used all of Hogan’s signature gestures, moves, and phrases. He was the subject of a storyline that took place after Hollywood Hulk Hogan was forced by Vince McMahon to sit out the rest of his contract. After Hogan won at WrestleMania XIX, McMahon was kayfabe frustrated with him and wanted Hulkamania to die. A WWE pre-debut push took place with mysterious Mr. America promos airing for weeks during SmackDown!. There was also on-screen discussion on SmackDown! between then General Manager Stephanie McMahon and other players concerning her hiring Mr. America “sight unseen.” On May 1, Mr. America debuted on SmackDown! on Piper’s Pit segment. McMahon appeared and claimed that Mr. America was Hulk Hogan in disguise, and Mr. America shot back by saying, “I am not Hulk Hogan, brother!” (lampooning Hogan’s use of “brother” in his promos). The feud continued through the month of May, with a singles match between Mr. America and Hogan’s old rival Roddy Piper at Judgment Day. McMahon tried desperately to prove that Mr. America was indeed Hulk Hogan but failed at all attempts. Mr. America even passed a lie detector test. Mr. America’s last WWE appearance was on the June 26 edition of SmackDown!.

I will always have fond memories of the World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment). As a child, I worshiped such wrestling superstars as Hulk Hogan, Randy Savage, The Ultimate Warrior, Demolition, and countless others. As a kid, I religiously watched Wrestling on Saturday mornings and also on Fridays (when I got to stay up late). Since I was a big fan of the live action, I found myself buying the toys (and even went as far as building my own custom wrestling wring out of a large box, Lincoln logs, and rubber bands. I spent hours recreating pivotal matches and I even bought the sound tracks so my toys wrestlers could enter my makeshift arena to their own music. But one thing was missing from the toys when I played with them as a child…realistic clothing!
