Wrestling Thread 9: Lets go Chuck Taylor, you're the best wrestler in the world • Page 290

I feel no type of way about this. Like someone said it’s kinda crazy because I grew up on Hulkamania and he was a big part of my wrestling life. But then you grow up and see everything else.

 

Oh shit!!

 

Huh my mom is the one who broke the news to me. Crazy! Crazy timing.

What a final appearance. Thats what I'll day about that. I cant believe his last wrestling appearance was what it was. Schilling out for some crappy beer youre trying to promote and getting booed so badly you officially become non-grata. Hulk Hogan dies after getting booed.

Life is weird

 

I've been watching wrestling for over 30 years and the only good memory I have of him was him joining the NWO. To this day I still think it's in the top 3 heel turns of all time.

 

One of the greatest tweets of all time (directed at Linda Hogan)

 

My dad texted me about "the Hulkster" passing which leads me to believe that he doesn't know how much of a piece of shit Hulk Hogan was. I don't really have the heart to tell him though.

 

I've noticed over the years deaths come in 3, especially with famous deaths.

I know another WWE hall of famer, who was also on a well known reality TV show...

 

RIP bozo

 

I also forgot about his cameo in “Gremlins 2,” which is genuinely great.

 

I saw him at a Nitro show when he was in nWo and that’s about the only decent memory I have of him. Was never really a big fan outside of that run

 

Well, we had Malcom from Cosby, Ozzy, and Hulk. Chuck Magione died, too, so is Hulk the start of a new set?

 

Damn, I forgot about Theo Huxtable.

 

I live around Clearwater, FL where they're probably going to name a street or build a statue of that motherfucker at the beach.

 

Gotta feel bad for Jimmy. His lifelong meal ticket is gone.

 

Spot-on assessment.

 

Hogan was such a fixture where I live that sightings of him at the grocery store or at the mall wouldn't bat at an eye. He was like our local celebrity. My grandpa would talk about how he installed the septic tank of his mansion. His kids are around my age and I always heard stories 2nd hand about them from people I know. Nick dated a girl in my class when I was a senior and of course I heard was a dick, and I had a buddy sit next to Brooke on plane and he said she was really nice.

 

it really is. That day is going to be beautiful.
