Hulk Hogan

When I checked the sports news happened in the US, I sometimes saw the name of Hulk Hogan and I remembered his fight.

Hulk Hogan must be the most famous professional wrestler in the world in the professional wrestrling history.
In the 1980's, he was the most popular foreign wrestler in Japan and Japanese were excited about the desperate fight with "Antonio Inoki"("アントニオ猪木") who fought againt Muhammad Ali.

Moreover, Hulk Hogan greatly contributed to the growth of WWF.
At that time, there was not the Internet, so I get excited about his activities in th US to read monthly or weekly magazines in Japan.

Hulk Hogan shouted "ICHIBAN!!"("一番" in Kanji) that literally means No.1 in the ring and this performance got into the news in Japan. At that time, the tank top, T-shirt, headband etc written "一番" were released.
"ICHIBAN" became one of famous Japanese as a word that meant No.1 in the US now.
I bought the headband written "一番" in Roma..

I'd like to watch his fight again!
