Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling (1985–1986) User Reviews (9)

Nice Cartoon Featuring Wrestlings Biggest Hero

[Big Movie Fan · 2 August 2002]

A lot of youngsters looked up to Hulk Hogan in the 1980's and it was nice to have a cartoon for them to watch. Just like many 1980's cartoons, the stories were very altruistic and emphasized things such as loyalty, friendship and honour. Hulk Hogan was joined by his buddies such as Captain Lou Albano and Superfly Jimmy Snuka to battle Roddy Piper and his cronies.

The stories were quite moralistic throughout and I guess the moral was not to take shortcuts or cheat. In one memorable episode, the bad guys tried to cheat in a baseball game but the episode showed how cheaters do not prosper. Hogan and his buddies would always be there to help out those in need.

I was an adult when I first watched this but I found it a great cartoon to watch. Go Hulk Go!

This show was a great part of my childhood.

I remember getting up on Saturdays when I was about 11 and watching all my favorite stars of the WWF both in animation and in real life. Now, granted, this wasn't any great foray into writing or acting, but that didn't matter. What matters now is thinking back on that time in my life and realizing it wasn't too bad. Unfortunately, as I was getting into it, my "rents" made me take this stupid karate class that to this day I resent simply because there was this show I enjoyed and it was taken away from me. Ah well. The important thing is I have this awesome memory. Seems to me if Hulk can survive on the big and small screen for almost 30 years he must be doing something right.

Even the World Wrestling Federation had a cartoon

[Terryfan · 9 January 2015]

To quote an old saying from a famous man "Anything can happen in the World Wrestling Federation".

Well even outside the World Wrestling Federation a cartoon can be made with many of it's famous WWF Superstars.

The series follow the adventures of many WWF Superstars who were places into two groups, The Good Wrestlers leaded by Hulk Hogan and the bad Wrestlers lead by Rowdy Roddy Pipper.

However despite the show features animation WWF Superstars none of the wrestlers did the voice over for the characters only did short live action skits for the show.

The wrestlers were voiced by professional voice actors.D.I.C. did the animation for the show.

Some of the episodes were interesting some not so much it did feature an good theme song and the intro show Hulk Hogan live action then the cartoon take itself.

So over all Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling had to be one of the most interesting shows of the 1980s so if you're a fan of the 80s and The WWF you might want to give it a try.

Well...

I personally used to love this show back then. But now, its terrible. I have seen a few videos I have and I look back and see that this show was bad... The voices were not correct and when they showed live action segments, it proved more that it really was not the wrestlers doing the voices.

Great show

Rock 'n' Wrestling was fun entertainment for adults and children alike. Storylines were light and fluffy and great fun. There's no reason why a similar show made now with the latest WWF wrestlers couldn't work either. I'd watch it. Imagine Rock, Stone Cold, HHH, Kurt Angle and Undertaker in a cartoon together!

Pure 1980's Crap

[mattsays316 · 17 January 2003]

This series is a perfect illustration of why adults wouldn't (and won't) admit that they are wrestling fans. The show takes these one-dimensional characters, who in some cases don't even RESEMBLE their wrestling personas (Andre the Giant is portrayed as a bumbling idiot, for example) and drop them in the same moronic situations as every other 80's cartoon. (i.e., meeting a remote jungle tribe) And to top it all off, they couldn't even get WRESTLER'S THEMSELVES to voice the characters!! Hulk Hogan found time to record the live segments, but even Gene Okerlund was too busy to supply his own voice? Come on!! Thank God Vince McMahon has never gotten the idea to redo this disaster.

How could you forget Hulk Hogan?

[DragonMasterHiro · 2 July 2003]

I remember watching the cartoon as a kid but not actually retaining a lot about it. I know that Hulk Hogan had his group of good guy wrestling buddies, and then there was a rival group always causing trouble. It was back when a lot of kids idolized Hulk Hogan, thus the cartoon series. You also had all the classic wrestlers in it and while I never watched a lot of the more recent WWF/WWE series, I can say that none of those guys will be memorable as the ones from back in the day.

I remember liking it a lot, especially the cool theme song with the rock piano in the beginning. I haven't seen it since it was canceled years ago but it'd be fun to watch an episode again.

Worst show ever.

Simple. They take some pop culture icons, and make an animated show out of them. This is the worst show I ever watched in my childhood. It weirded me out, it confused the heck out of me. I had nightmares from that. Hi. Welcome to "Matthew Rants". Today, this stupid show given by CBS. This show came on after MUPPET BABIES. I'd rather see ANIMALS ANIAMLS ANIMALS, or THE CHARLIE BROWN AND SNOOPY SHOW, than this junk. The voices don't sound like the real wrestlers. Brad Garret of 2 STUPID DOGS and EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND as the voice of Hulk Hogan. And Charlie Adler of COW AND CHICKEN, and TINY TOON ADVENTURES as the voice of Rowdy Rodney Piper. I had nightmares from this show. Don't get me started. That was one of the bad shows of the 80's. American IDOL, is bad and boring. THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY is bad. Billy is stupider than Patrick and has an I.Q. lower than Cosmo. Watch THE GRIM ADVENTURES OF BILLY AND MANDY, and you will loose 5 brain cells. Watch HULK HOGAN's ROCK AND WRESTLING, and you'll get nightmares. Don't worry. I'll see if I can get me DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS comment up.
