Let’s try and keep any potential negative comments from this thread please.
Arguably one of the biggest names in wrestling history ever. The heel turn at bash at the beach will never been forgotten in the history of the industry. Plus him body slamming Andre the Giant in front of 100k screaming Hulkamanicas.
The word 'legend' is often overused but for him it absolutely applies. Easily the most iconic wrestler of all time and even if you had no interest at all in wrestling, you still knew who Hulk Hogan was.
What price he makes a miraculous recovery at the funeral, springs out of his coffin, cups his ear and then pins the vicar after a flying elbow off the lectern?
Got in my car, playlist was on shuffle, Radiohead - High & Dry comes on, see the news on a flash news feed. I think that's the most a celebrity's death has ever hit me tbh.
I know he has gone down in a lot of people's estimations, but he is without a doubt a legend, probably one of the most recognisable people on the planet at one stage, and in my eyes the first real 'superstar' wrestler.
Ozzy, Mads and now Hulkster all within a few weeks, rough.
"You see, dude, I was meant to die about 10 years ago, brother, but Vince begged me to come back for one more run as the face of WWE. So I had to come and run a train on all those bad dudes, dude, and let the Hulkamaniacs get jacked up on some Hulk Hogan, brother, and just like when I lifted Andre up over my head, jack, Infront of 200,000 Hulkamaniacs, brother, you know I still got the Hulkamaniacs jacked on my shit, jack, and those dudes gave me so much noise, God himself said it's not your time, brother, so after that show, I gave my lucky towel to some kid, dude, and he grew up to be Bron Breakker, jack"
Or some such other nonsense.
RIP to one of the best Wrestlers to ever do it, he got the business and got it into the mainstream for a long time
He was an ultimate showman. Wrestlers take massive risks with steroids. I was never really into the wrestling but my younger brother was and I took him to the Excel Arena and watched Hogan v the Macho Man. It was a bit ridiculous in that Hogan was beaten to within an inch of his life but somehow recovered to win and it blew the roof off RIP.

Even his entrance song was iconic as well.
