A Lifelong “Hulkamaniac”

His resemblance to Hogan and his enthusiastic persona made him a fan-favorite in his own right, and he was often shown on camera during broadcasts. He became a well-known personality, particularly in the Florida wrestling scene where he lived.
Over the years, Servis turned his passion into a career, making official appearances as Roddy Hogan and meeting with fans. He developed a close, personal friendship with Terry Bollea, the man behind the Hulk Hogan character. The two were frequently photographed together, and Hogan publicly acknowledged Servis’s unwavering support on multiple occasions.
