Hulk Hogan to Shave Off Iconic Mustache

Say it ain't so. Wrestling superstar Hulk Hogan is shaving off his trademark mustache. Hulk Hogan dropped the grooming bombshell on a TMZ cameraman who caught up with him to talk about his recent dental surgery.

The Hulkster casually mentioned that he was shaving his head and mustache for some auditions.

Photos of Hulk Hogan without His Mustache?!

Hulk Hogan has had that mustache since... since forever (well, at least since the early eighties). We're overcome with morbid curiosity to see pics of Hulk Hogan without his mustache. Soon those pics are bound to surface... and then we'll post them, albeit with heavy heart.

Hulk Hogan, 58, has been a professional wrestler since 1977. He's hardly ever been seen in public without his mustache, and certainly not during the always-on digital media age.

The news of Hulk Hogan shaving his mustache rocked the lip-fringe world:

TMZ spoke with Dr. Aaron Perlut -- Chairman of the American Mustache Institute and self-professed doctor of "nuclear mustacheology" -- who says he's particularly upset with Hulk's plan to shave ... since he is "seen as a longtime leading figure in the sexually dynamic Mustached American community."

Hulkamaniacs worldwide are bracing themselves for a fully-shorn Hulkster.
