Hulk's father disapproved of wrestling career

Hulk's dad Pietro 'Peter' Bollea worked in construction and was sceptical about his son's decision to pursue a career in wrestling.

Hogan said: "We were broke and I hated it, especially seeing how my dad slaved in the sun as a construction worker."

The tension led to Hulk being unwelcome at the family home for a period, meaning that he would have to visit his mother Vernice 'Ruth' Bollea when his father was at work.
