You might think that song was just a shameless attempt to cash in on a child's tragic death, and you'd be right. But what would you say if we told you that Hulk Hogan started out as a real musician in a real band before he became a wrestler?

Bass guitar and Lycra. Checks out.
It's true. Hulk Hogan was an aspiring musician and spent 10 years playing guitar and fretless bass in various bands. In fact, he even dropped out of college to focus on one such band, a five-piece called Ruckus. This is back when he was still plain old Terry Gene Bollea, a mustache-less proto-Hogan who looked more like a pet store clerk than an international superstar.
