Hulk Hogan Dead at 71

[Sky]

She probably cares tho. Hogan refused to see her kids and didn't care when her husband tried to contact him when she almost died in childbirth, but Brooke tried to reach out and give him chance after chance, he just didn't give a fuck about her. Brooke said she found out from a text from her brother sent to her husband this morning.

Of course Vince is sad. He’s a billionaire cause of Hulk (Hulk started it)

Just found out through my Brother at work and then I hear from my Dad that a family member passed away as well. Miguel Feliciano was his name and was best friends with my Dad's Pops so it he grew up with him as a Uncle and his Son as a Cousin to him. He used to wrestle as well he was a jobber for the WWF in the 80s but man the Stories he told me about his days as a Wrestler were fun to listen to.

As for Hogan I'm torn I know what the Man did for the business but he's hurt the business just as much in my opinion. The antics as well outside of the Ring for many Years I'm going to be even more torn when I get the News for Flair when that happens. I don't know what else to say life goes on

He may have been a shit human being but you can’t deny the impact he had.

While I won't celebrate the fact that the man's actually dead (because honestly, why do that), I will shit on his contributions to the business. He was one of the most overrated wrestlers of all time that, If it weren't for Vince McMahon forcefeeding Hulkamania down everyone's throat in the 80s and early 90s, he'd be a midcarder at best. There were a ton of faces back then that should have been given an honest shot at the top without turning heel and then pivoting back to Hogan. Just having Jake Roberts signal for the DDT rivaled the pops Hogan were getting back then.

With his death now all of the in-ring competitors in the main events of WrestleManias 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, and 9 have died and even without his death, WrestleMania 12 is the oldest WrestleMania main event to have all of it's competitors still alive.

People ate that stuff up in the 80's and early 90's. The Cold War was ending then came the Gulf War and whether you agree with the wars or not, Americans were more patriotic than ever during that time and they were looking for someone who represented Americana and he was it.

If he got over it means he was good lol. I don’t get this mentality of “oh he’s only over cause Vince made it so”. Yeah Vince can book you at the top but you ain’t gonna get the cheers without doing the work.

I think where I disagree with that "it could have been anyone, Vince just picked Hogan" narrative is the bursting through the mainstream part. I think plenty of people could have done great business for WWF but I think there's very few others that could have had the entire pop culture crossover.

Hogan was a real life disproportionate cartoon, a perfect mascot in a way for what everyone wanted at the time in the 80s fantasy world everyone was desperate to cling to at the time.

 

[Chris]

It's also not the skills or the look or anything that mattered most. It was doing anything and everything Vince asked which Hogan had absolutely 0 qualms doing. A perfect lapdog as well

Oh, definitely. I think WWF tried to duplicate him using Paul Orndorff, but there was no way Orndorff could have done what Hogan did.

Mr. T is still alive.
