He has sued the manufacturer of ‘Cocoa Pebbles, Post Cereal’ saying that his image suffered a loss because of the cartoon advert. In the advert a Hulk Hogan resembling cartoon character is busy in beating The Flintstones. He easily beats the crap out of Fred and Barney. But then Bamm-Bamm steps in and takes revenge on the Hulk Hogan inspired cartoon character. He beats the Hulk Hogan inspired cartoon character into pieces. No wonder that, Hulk Hogan has taken exception to the advertisement and sued the makers of the advert.

Terry Bollea is better known as Hulk Hogan and in the lawsuit he states that his inspired cartoon character “is shown humiliated and cracked into pieces with broken teeth, with the closing banner, ‘Little Pieces…BIG TASTE!’”

And in the advertisement the character is called ‘Hulk Boulder’. And in the lawsuit Hulk Hogan alleges that this is the very name that he used to use in the early days of his career. Later he changed his name to Hulk Hogan, because the wrestling promoter Vince McMahon thought that his career would fare better with an Irish name.
