Hulk Hogan is a hero to many, and why wouldn't he be? In his early days he told kids to take their vitamins and say their prayers, he single-handedly made a fake sport into huge, profit-generating entertainment and he starred in amazing films like "Mr. Nanny" and "No Holds Barred." But if fans of Hogan and his films are feeling lonely without the Hulkster, no need to worry, because Terry Bollea (his real name) is back, now on DVD with a chronicle of his life and career as the most famous wrestler to ever get inside a ring.\n "Hulk Still Rules," a DVD that is pretty much a long, very detailed version of "Behind the Music" but with a washed-up wrestler instead of a washed-up musician, is actually pretty entertaining. For any fan of the spandex-wearing grappler, this is a must-own disc, because everything you could ever want to know about Hogan is included.\n Now, this is really an amazing biography with a lot of detailed stories and interviews. The only thing that brings it down a bit is its subject. Don't get me wrong, Hogan is a great wrestler. It's just that the people who made this DVD should be doing biographies on Gandhi and Thomas Edison because they make a great DVD. But DVD-makers' talent is being wasted on a man that suplexes people for a living. To be totally honest, this disc will sell about a trillion more copies than any DVD about a peacemaker, so I guess the makers know what they're doing. \n The DVD's first disc is pretty much the "Behind the Muscles" biography that was talked about before, but the second disc is filled with Hogan's memorable matches, including old Survivor Series, Wrestlemania and Royal Rumble moments, and the amazing David versus Goliath Andre the Giant matches. Okay, maybe not David versus Goliath, more like Goliath versus Really Big Goliath.\n So all in all, "Hulk Still Rules" is a really great DVD. It's just a shame that this work of art is about a man with huge "pythons." So if you are a fan of Hogan, get this DVD right now. But if you aren't into wrestling, you'll want to skip it.
