Hulk Hogan
Hulkamania's Still Runnin' WildMost people may not know who Terry Bollea is, but people all over the world know his alter ego, Hulk Hogan. Hogan is the biggest name in professional wrestling history, and has been a cultural icon for decades. His mustache, golden locks, bandanas and “24-inch pythons” have been a part of popular culture since the early 80’s when he first broke into the mainstream by body slamming Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania III. Since then Hogan has gone on to capture 12 Heavyweight championships in both WWE and WCW, starred in Rocky III as well as a number of other feature films, and hosted NBC’s “American Gladiators.” In January, Hogan will be making his return to the squared circle when he takes over Spike TV’s TNA Wrestling. TNA iMPACT is moving to 8-10pm this Monday, so catch it live on Spike TV. Dwight Slade
Dwight Slade isn't just a comedian, he's also the voice of the little man, sticking it to 'the man' and scoring a little payback for all of life's daily humiliations. Slade began his comedy crusade in Portland, working with the legendary Bill Hicks, but has since made a name for himself headlining comedy clubs, hosting his own radio show and releasing a number of comedy albums, including his new double DVD, Right & Raunch.
