Horace Hogan

Professional wrestling career

Early career (1990–1991) Bollea was trained by Boris Malenko, debuting on the Floridian independent circuit in January 1990 under the ring name "Horace Boulder". In mid-1991, Bollea formed a dominant tag team with a fellow gaijin wrestler, The Gladiator (his cousin). The duo engaged in a long-running feud with Atsushi Onita and Sambo Asako.

In April 1992, Bollea began tagging with Sabu. On May 7, 1992, in Tokyo, Bollea and Sabu defeated Onita and Tarzan Goto for the WWA World Martial Arts Tag Team Championship. They held the championship until May 24, 1992, when they were defeated by Goto and Gregory Veritchev in Tokyo. This was his sole televised match in the WWF, as he competed exclusively at house shows for the remainder of his tenure. He remained in the Flock until the stable disbanded on September 13, 1998.

Personal life Bollea is the son of Martha Alfonso (1944–1978) and Allan Bollea (1947–1986), brother of professional wrestler Terry Bollea better known as Hulk Hogan, making him Hogan's nephew. Bollea's parents separated when he was a child. In 1978, his mother, Martha Alfonso, was murdered by her boyfriend, and his father died of a drug overdose in 1986. Bollea has two sisters.
