Randy Hogan (wrestler)

Ironically, while working for a local radio station he was dispatched as a reporter to cover the signing ceremony of Hulk Hogan on June 11, 1994, appearing on screen and fielding questions to WCW's latest acquisition.

Following an injury sustained in 1989, Randy took a sabbatical from professional wrestling. While recovering, he purchased the Cedar Creek Seafood restaurant. Eventually, he would expand his business to six locations. While managing the restaurants he received the opportunity to return to the now-rebranded World Championship Wrestling in 1993. Seeing it as an opportunity to further promote his restaurant, he made his return on November 14, 1993 in a match that aired on January 22, 1994 episode of WCW Worldwide. There he faced Vader, who had recently lost the WCW World Heavyweight Championship. On the April 4 episode of WCW Worldwide he teamed with P. J. Walker in a match against The Nasty Boys.

He retired from pro wrestling in the 1990s. After selling off his franchises, in 2010 he opened another Cedar Creek Seafood restaurant in Lakeland, FL.

On February 10, 1988 he joined Jim Crockett Promotions, which was quickly consolidating the remaining NWA promotions. Bearing a facial resemblance to then World Wrestling Federation champion Hulk Hogan and having grown a Hogan-esque mustache, the company took the opportunity to cast the look-a-like Randy Hogan as a jobber. He made his debut on the February 13 episode of World Championship Wrestling (WCW) when he teamed with Steve Atkinson and Gene Miller to take on Ivan Koloff and the Powers of Pain. Hogan appeared sporadically in the spring and summer, facing The Powers of Pain, Rick Steiner, The Midnight Express and others in various matches. On the December 31, 1988 edition of World Championship Wrestling, Hogan teamed with Mike Justice to face The Texas Broncos in Dustin Rhodes' debut match. His final match in his initial run was against The Road Warriors on the January 28, 1989 episode of World Championship Wrestling.

After making his debut in 1981, Randy Hogan competed in National Wrestling Alliance territories including the Continental Wrestling Association in the Southeastern United States and won a number of secondary titles, including the Alabama Junior Heavyweight Championship, the Georgia Junior Heavyweight Championship, the Florida Junior Heavyweight Championship, the Florida Heavyweight Championship, and the NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship.
