In a survey by LuckyBlock.com of more than 1,000 sports fans before ‘Movember’ started, the ‘Hulkster’ claimed a whopping 36.2% of the votes to take top spot.

The WWE Hall of Famer wore a ‘Horseshoe Mustache’ throughout his career inside the ring and beyond, still sporting the ‘tache to this day.

“Hulk Hogan’s iconic horseshoe mustache has become synonymous with greatness, not just in the realm of professional wrestling but across the entire sports landscape,” Capital Sports Network Owner Sean Miller said. “His facial hair has transcended the boundaries of the ring, becoming a symbol of strength, charisma, and unwavering determination. In a recent poll by LuckyBlock.com, Hogan emerged victorious, claiming the title of ‘Greatest Mustache in Sports History’ with a resounding 36.2% of the votes. This overwhelming support is a testament to the enduring legacy of Hogan’s mustache, a piece of sporting folklore that has captured the hearts and imaginations of fans worldwide.

“From the boisterous arenas of professional wrestling to the hallowed grounds of football fields and baseball diamonds, Hogan’s mustache has stood as a beacon of individuality and unwavering self-expression. It has adorned the face of a man who has conquered countless challenges, both in the physical realm and in the face of public scrutiny. His mustache is not merely a fashion statement; it is an embodiment of his very essence, a symbol of his unyielding spirit and unwavering commitment to his craft.

“While other athletes have sported impressive facial hair, none have achieved the same level of recognition and admiration as Hulk Hogan. His mustache is more than just a piece of facial hair; it is a cultural icon, a symbol of an era, and a testament to the power of individuality in the face of conformity. In a world that often seeks to homogenize and blend in, Hogan’s mustache stands as a defiant reminder of the importance of standing out, of embracing one’s unique identity, and of never compromising one’s true self.

“As Hogan continues to grace the world with his presence, his mustache remains a constant, a symbol of his enduring legacy and the indelible mark he has left on the world of sports. It is a reminder that true greatness lies not in conformity but in embracing one’s individuality and pursuing one’s dreams with unwavering determination. Hulk Hogan’s mustache is more than just facial hair; it is a symbol of strength, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.”
