Overview[]
Joseph "Crusher" Hogan was a professional wrestler. Unlike many who have entered the sport, Hogan did not care for staged expedition matches, and believed only in genuine competiton. Hogan's career took an unexpected turn many years ago when he participated in a bout in Manhattan, New York City against a scrawny, masked kid who was billing himself as the "Amazing Spider-Man". Hogan thought the match would be over in a matter of seconds - and it was - but not in the way he expected. Gifted with the proportionate strength of a spider, the Spider-Man easily trounced Crusher, making him look foolish before the audience. [1]
