Terry Gene Bollea (August 11, 1953 – July 24, 2025), better known by his ring name Hulk Hogan was a great wrestler who left us recently but will live forever in our hearts!

This is the great theme song he used to use in his wrestling performances, titled "Real American" and the song's music and lyrics were composed by Rick Derringer (who is the singer of this song as well), a rock artist best known for his work with the McCoys!

Rest in peace, champion...we will never forget you!

Lyrics:

"When it comes crashing down, and it hurts inside.
You gotta take a stand, it don't help to hide.
Well, you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide.

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American.
fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I feel strong about right and wrong,
And I don't take trouble for very long,
I got something deep inside of me.
Courage is the thing that keeps us free.

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American.
fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man.
I am a real American.
fight for what's right, fight for your life!

Well you hurt my friends, and you hurt my pride,
I gotta be a man; I can't let it slide,

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American.
Fight for what's right, fight for your life!

I am a real American.
Fight for the rights of every man,
I am a real American.
Fight for what's right, fight for your life...!"
