January 23, 1984: Hulkamania Begins

Dan Richter |

On January 23, 1984, inside Madison Square Garden, Hulk Hogan captured his first WWE Championship, defeating The Iron Sheik in a moment that would reshape professional wrestling forever.

That victory wasn’t just a title change — it was the spark that launched Hulkamania. Hogan became the face of WWE, bringing larger-than-life energy, unforgettable promos, and a new mainstream spotlight to the sport.

 

From sold-out arenas to unforgettable main events, Hogan’s rise turned WWE into a global phenomenon. The red and yellow became symbols of an era defined by power, charisma, and belief.

Today, we honor the anniversary of that iconic night with officially licensed Hulk Hogan tees — built for fans who remember when Hulkamania first ran wild.
