This week on Getting Colour, Conor and Jeff lace up the yellow boots and dive headfirst into the rise — and slow unravelling — of Hulk Hogan’s first WWF run. From his 1984 title win over the Iron Sheik to the end of his red-and-yellow reign in 1993, we chart the highs of WrestleMania III, the drama of the Mega Powers exploding, and the uneasy transition from hero to has-been as fan tastes shifted.

We break down the matches, the merch, the myth-making that built — and eventually strained — Hulkamania.

Grab your vitamins, say your prayers, and press play — this one’s all about the man who bodyslammed his way into American pop culture… and then got bodyslammed by the 90s.

We're back each and every month for another deep dive into the world of shorts and spandex. Check us out on Twitter/X @GettingColour or email us at [email protected]

Yours in Wrestling,
Conor & Jeff
