"I despise Hulk Hogan for pretty boring reasons-his sex tape bankrupted the media company that employed me at the time-and yet I devoured this enormously wise and deftly judicious tribute to that bum. David Shoemaker writes with the wide-eyed reverence of a Reagan '80s kid but also the clear-eyed wisdom of an oft-exasperated 2026 adult, beautifully illustrating what makes the Hulkster so deserving of our awe, our respect, our sympathy, our confusion, our disappointment, and our contempt, or at least mine. Essential reading even if you've never heard the phrase 'Fingerpoke of Doom' in your life." - Rob Harvilla
"Insightful, thought provoking and tremendously entertaining. Redefines what a wrestling book can be." - Brian Gewirtz
