On this day September 14, 1985, Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling made its debut on CBS, bringing the excitement of professional wrestling to the world of Saturday morning cartoons. The animated series ran for 2 seasons, with a total of 26 episodes. It featured the animated adventures of some of the most popular wrestling stars of the time, including Hulk Hogan, “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, and André the Giant, among others.

The show blended elements of action and comedy, with the wrestlers often finding themselves in outlandish situations that required both brains and brawn to resolve. While the characters were based on real-life wrestlers, the series took creative liberties, offering viewers a fun, exaggerated take on the personalities of the WWF (now WWE) superstars.

Fun Fact!

Interestingly, while the animated characters were based on real wrestlers, the voices were provided by professional voice actors rather than the wrestlers themselves.
