Description:  Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling was a Saturday morning cartoon that ran from 1985–1986, featuring animated adventures of WWF wrestlers. The show presented a good vs. evil storyline where Hulk Hogan and his team of "faces" battled the villainous "heels" led by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper. In addition to animation, each episode included live-action segments, like music videos, and was voiced by professional actors rather than the wrestlers themselves due to their demanding travel schedules.

Premise: The show focused on the animated escapades of WWF stars, with wrestling serving as a backdrop for their good and evil roles.

Characters: The animated cast was based on real-life wrestlers. The heroic "faces" included Hulk Hogan, André the Giant, and Junkyard Dog, while the villains, or "heels," were led by "Rowdy" Roddy Piper.

Format: Each episode combined animated segments with live-action comedy skits, which often featured music videos, such as the cover of "Land of a Thousand Dances" from The Wrestling Album.

Voice Actors: Due to the wrestlers' travel schedules, professional voice actors provided the voices for the characters. For instance, Brad Garrett voiced Hulk Hogan, and James Avery voiced the Junkyard Dog.
