Thunderlips is a minor character in the Rocky franchise, but one of my favorites because he’s played by real-life wrestler Hulk Hogan.

The character Thunderlips isn’t much different from the Hulk Hogan on WWF. He was supposed to fight Rocky Balboa in a boxing versus wrestling charity event.

Which wasn’t supposed to be done seriously but Rocky is very discouraged when Thunderlips absolutely tries to wreck him.

Eventually Rocky finally decides to get the upper hand but he kind of realized that his regular boxing style wasn’t going to do much against a fancy wrestling champion.

When the event is over he’s actually a very respectful and good guy. Rocky definitely never saw that coming.
