In another piece of news that sounds at once outlandish and also weirdly appropriate: Hulk Hogan once almost joined an early version of Metallica.The WWF/WWE living legend and star of '3 Ninjas: High Noon at Mega Mountain' apparently found work as a session musician before becoming the Super Destroyer and between Hogan and Metallica there is a shared affinity for handlebar mustaches.

"I used to be a session musician before I was a wrestler," Hogan told the Sun. "I played bass guitar. I was big pals with Lars Ulrich and he asked me if I wanted to play bass with Metallica in their early days but it didn't work out."
