To clarify: he's dressed up as Hogan during his "Hollywood" Hogan days, where he ran around wearing black outfits, and a feather boa. Also, I'm kind of surprised that Jen, the TV buff, didn't bring up Learning the Ropes, about the ORIGINAL "teacher by day, wrestler by night", Lyle Alzado! OK, since it was a little-seen Canadian sitcom, I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.

Is that actually Striker? If it is, he's dressed up as Hulk Hogan, brother! There's a picture of him (sans fake mustache) at the NYT link. Anyway, I hope he gets his job back.

It's supposed to look like the worst costume ever! Part of being a successful wrestler is being as outlandish and theatric as possible. The mustache that Striker had was the coup de grace of his ensemble.

wow, that's the worst costume ever! a boa? and that mustache? at least he could have done a fake one with marker or something.
