Hulk Hogan

Background/History: Muscle Power was a pretty popular wrestler once. Big, very strong, well built. He had a decent interview and was good around the mat. Overbearing, obnoxious, and somewhat simple, he made a lot of noise but little lasting impact. He always seemed to follow trends and looked kinda goofy doing it. His big break came when the Russian super-heavyweight, Zangief was to bring a number of Soviet wrestlers to America on a worldwide shoot-wrestling tour. Muscle Power was one of the Americans chosen to wrestle. It should have been his coming out party, he had the crowd behind him, he'd trained intensely, he'd even fought some non-wrestlers. He was not ready. Zangief manhandled him. Bigger, heavier, faster, and smarter; the crazy Russian had an arsenal of moves that simply negated Muscle's Muscles. The fight went on due to the American's toughness and stubborn refusal to stay down, but it was as one sided as it was brutal.

After that, Muscle Power was a mid carder. Then he was an outcast. He had his pride and would often go against the script, this eventually got him booted from most of the American Wrestling leagues. When he heard that some of the Shoot Wrestlers were going to multi-style combat tournaments, including Zangief, Muscle found his new profession. He fought independently for a while with mixed success, but was then offered a spot in a stable of fighters lead by Major Carnage. He took them up on their offer. Things are looking much better, but he is still out to defeat Zangief.

Personality/Motivation: Think angrier, dumber parody of Hulk Hogan's ring persona. Now imagine that guy is always like that.

Quote: You're going down! Arrgh!

Powers/Tactics: Push them around with your strength. Cheat if that doesn't work.

Campaign Use: More muscle for the team of Excessive Force.

Group Relations:

Appearance: A Hulk Hogan Send up in American Flag Shorts. He now sports a black tee shirt and has a five o'clock shadow to signify that he's a BAD GUY now.
