Hulk Hogan sues Cocoa Pebbles Cereal (Fred Flintstone)

Hulk Hogan sues Cocoa Pebbles Cereal (Fred Flintstone)

Behold the commercial that offended Hollywood Hogan.

For some reason, Hulk found this ad very embarrassing. From ABC, ((The Hulkster says Post Foods stole his likeness to depict him suffering humiliating defeat to Bam-Bam of "Flintstones" fame.

Terry Bollea (Hulk's real name) filed the lawsuit in Tampa District Court alleging misappropriation of name and likeness and false endorsement.))

Uh, Hulk, I hate to break it to you but Bam-Bam is a cartoon character. Are you that afraid of Bam-Bam or Fred Flintstone? I can’t believe I looked up to Hulk Hogan back in the day as a hero. Now, he’s a self-centered asshole looking for the next trick to boost his waning career. He forced the cameras into his house and it helped wreck his marriage. He acted like a complete douche when his son was in jail. It is no wonder that most of the wrestlers from his era hate him.

Yeah, the ad does use his old name “Hulk Boulder” from the 70s. But something tells me the creators of the ad had no idea Hulk used that name early in his career. I think these were young ad people that never bothered to do some research for the ad and went with “Boulder” because of the Flintstones rock names.

Hulk, it’s just a parody of you. Why are you getting upset? If you’re going to sue for likeness rights, why aren’t you suing Tecmo for having a character based completely off your NWO days under the name Bass Armstrong.

People also forget that Hulk Hogan did a rather stupid ad for Honey Nut Cheerios. I guess the Hulk is more of a fan of General Mills than Post Foods. I hate to say it but this ad makes him look just as bad as the Cocoa Peddles ad.

People also forget that he had his own Cereal called Hulk Hogan WWF Superstars!
