''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'' is an American animated television series that originally aired on CBS Saturday mornings from September 14, 1985 to December 6, 1986,〔"(Hulk Hogan's Rock N' Wrestling )". ''www.bcdb.com'', April 12, 2012〕 with reruns airing until June 27, 1987. ==History== ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'' was animated and produced by DIC Entertainment. It featured animated adventures of popular WWF stars from the time, including its title character Hulk Hogan and his group of wrestlers fighting against a group of rogue wrestlers led by Roddy Piper. The show followed cartoon archetypes concerning good characters triumphing over evil-doers in wacky situations, typical of children's cartoons in the 1980s. Rarely referenced, wrestling was simply a device to determine the good guys from the bad guys. The wrestlers themselves appeared in the live-action segments of the show; however, due to their busy travel schedule, they did not provide the voices for their animated counterparts.〔http://www.wwe.com/classics/hulk-hogans-rock-n-wrestling-26133777/page-2〕 These were instead performed by professional voice actors. One recurring live-action segment was the music video for the cover of "Land of a Thousand Dances" recorded by several WWF wrestlers for ''The Wrestling Album''. Comedian Brad Garrett provided the voice of Hogan, The "Hogan" voice was similar to Rodney Dangerfield. Due to the show being animated and the longer production times that resulted, it often failed to keep pace with the events of the WWF at the time. This resulted in certain wrestlers turning heel (or, in non-wrestling terms, a villain) in regular WWF programming but remaining good guys on the cartoon and vice versa. Jimmy Snuka and Wendi Richter's likenesses were used throughout the series' run, despite both having left the WWF in mid-1985. It also depicted Hogan as having a full head of hair, as opposed to the noticeably receding hairline he sported in the ring. WWE (as the WWF was renamed in 2002 after the company lost a lawsuit against the World Wide Fund for Nature) and the Cookie Jar Entertainment division of DHX Media (who own the rights to the DIC catalog) currently co-own the rights to the program. In April 2015, WWE announced that the program would be added to the WWE Network, making its premiere following the April 20 episode of ''WWE Raw''. On July 24, 2015, Hulk Hogan was fired by the WWE and references to Hulk Hogan including ''Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling'' were removed from the WWE network.〔http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2015/07/24/hulk-hogan-erased-from-wwe-website-amid-reports-wrestler-booted-from/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
