Hulk Hogan (Sterling Golden) vs. Chick Donovan

Young Hulk Hogan called himself "Sterling Golden" early in his career. He takes on young Chick Donovan, who by coincidence called himself the "Golden Boy" later in his career. Hogan (aka Golden) boasts about his size and strength before the match and offers $1,000 to anyone who can break his "Golden Squeeze," which is apparently his version of the bearhug. We can see where the arrogant "Thunderlips" character that Hulk portrayed in the movie "Rocky III" was born. Will "Golden Boy" Chick Donovan be the first to escape the deadly "Golden Squeeze" applied by Sterling Golden? This was when Hogan was at his most entertaining.

Terry Bollea played the top face on wrestling history and a heel who is likely top five on every list. He could play both. Peoplt that say he didn't have talent need to realize that. Very few wrestlers can play a great heel and a great face.

@wyldpat He came up in Eddie Grahams territory who demanded his talent wrestle. He also wrestled in Japan where you also have to work. In the WWF, he was the golden goose and early on he worked well. Not Steamboat quality but good matches. He also took bumps most 300 pounders wouldn't take. However McMahon feared he would injure himself (especially after Hulk hurt his knee vs Studd) and being so much was resting on Hogan, that was unacceptable so they toned him down to a simple formula.

So as Sterling Golden he called guys "daddy." As Hulk Hogan he called guys "brother." What did he call guys when he was Terry Boulder? Cousin?

Chick Donovan still wrestles on occasion in Franklin Ga with the indys
