Hulk Hogan invades the Mustache Shakedown

Welcome to stage four of July’s Mustache Shakedown. In the previous weeks, Dr. Aaron Perlut has nominated Future Star Cory Snyder, Larry Legend and John Daly. Today we cap off the contest with a man often chronicled by yours truly, albeit in a negative light … Hulk Hogan.

Before we complete the nomination, let’s look at a few wrestlers past and present who once wore a blond mustache.

Chris Jericho

Harley Race

Stunning Steve Austin

All of these men have partial blond staches, and all of the staches are wispy. And while some think Ted Dibiase might fit in with the blond mustache community, he was always more brown. Even when these blond staches were in full bloom, they were nothing compared to the shear girth and power of Hulkamania.

And that shouldn’t be too surprising. Hogan’s blond mustache said its prayers, ate its vitamins, did its training and divorced its wife after having a reality show based off his mustache family. The Hulkster’s blond arch-feather put professional wrestling under the mainstream scope in the second half of the 1980s, and shares a hunk of responsibility for Vince McMahon and WWE’s success.

The mustache even appeared as Thunderlips in Rocky III, which stands the test of time as one of the best once-scene-support roles in Hollywood history.

So who’s it gonna be, people?
