Hogan began his wrestling career in 1977 before gaining fame in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the early 1980s. He had his last official match in the WWE in 2005 against Randy Orton at SummerSlam, and was later inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2005 and again in 2020 as part of the nWo.

A tribute video narrated by Paul "Triple H" Levesque encapsulates Hogan's career, from the beginning to his top moments in the ring — from WrestleMania main event matches to the New World Order to "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan. It also touches on his career outside of the ring, from movies to becoming a worldwide celebrity.
