Hulk Hogan never got the biopic treatment while he was alive. The WWE legend, who died Thursday at age 71, was supposed to be played by Chris Hemsworth in a Netflix movie, but the project was scrapped entirely by the time Hogan passed away.

In later years, Hogan still appeared at wrestling events, like at WrestleMania XXX in 2014, where he accidentally referred to the Superdome as the Silverdome, but his presence on the circuit diminished following a scandal in 2015, in which tapes emerged that included him using vile ethnic slurs.
