RIP Hulk Hogan

[Logic]

A cultural mega-star in the 80s and early 90s. There probably never has been or ever will be a bigger pro wrestler than the Hulkster.

Then later in life, there was some more complicated and less flattering stuff with him.

In any case....certainly a legend. RIP.

Damn, first Ozzy now this.

RIP big fella. 

[Gregg]

They say celebrity deaths come in the threes. Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ozzy, and now Hulk Hogan.

 

RIP.

 

[Walking Tall]

That truly sucks. RIP, Hulkster. You were loved by many. 😢

Well you know Mean Gene... I know he was no angel but when I was a kid I simply adored him - can't imagine how many leg drops I did on my pillow.  RIP Hulkster

I agree with this. 

 

But he was a part of my childhood.  From going to WWE shows in Buffalo in the 80s, the toys, watching on TV, even the big gulp cups and the ice cream truck had those wrestling ice cream bars. 

 

We getting old.

Tonight I'm watching Terry vs Rock WM18, followed by his sex tape to pay homage. This will be going hard in the whip all day, ya dig?

Yeah a couple of very iconic individuals.

 

It’s not a reach to assume Hulk’s steroid usage shortened his natural life.

 

May Hulk RIP.

[Mark Vader]

I was never a big fan of his. 

 

Yet, I cannot deny that he is the one who made Pro Wrestling mainstream.

 

RIP, Sir.

[Draconator]

If enough celebrities pass away, this year may rival 2016 in terms of celebrity deaths. (Prince, David Bowie, etc). 

 

Rest in peace Hulkster.

[Bray Wyatt]

Damn.

 

I get there are aspects about Terry Bollea that people dont like, but as for Hulk Hogan the wrestler this is a big loss. He was the first wrestler to cross over from the ring to Hollywood and Pop Culture and paved the way for the Rocks and Cenas of the world. His impact on the business made possible what we have today.

 

Truly an icon and a sad day for me as a wrestling fan.

Can this week just end already?  I was a little Hulkamaniac.  Dressed as Hogan for Halloween two years straight when I was a kid.   Just like Ozzy, this one is gutting.   Just an absolute ICON.

 

Now I have to read and listen a bunch of sinless people comment on the bad things the guy did in his life in spite of all the good he did.
