## Caption

The 1980s animated series “Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling” was a critical component in the WWF’s mainstream expansion and the “Hulkamania” boom.

Airing on CBS from 1985 to 1986, the Saturday morning cartoon was a cornerstone of the “Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Connection” era. The show introduced Hulk Hogan and other WWF stars like Roddy Piper and André the Giant to a younger audience, transforming them into real-life superheroes for a generation of children. The cartoon’s popularity was instrumental in driving merchandise and ticket sales, helping to make WrestleMania a household name.

The voice of the animated Hulk Hogan was provided by actor Brad Garrett, who would later star in “Everybody Loves Raymond.”
