How the fuck did Ric Flair out live Hogan?
Fuckin’ miracles.
By being a bigger piece of shit
That’s debatable.
You’re not wrong
roids, cocaine, alcohol catches up to you eventually.
For those desiring a reminder: Hogan’s final appearance in the pro wrestling industry
Doesn’t sound like an overwhelming boo, sounds like mostly a “meh” reaction
That’s probably the worst reaction a wrestler can get. A good wrestler can work with boos.
unless its x-pac heat
I said a good wrestler!

Well, he was the biggest star in wrestling for over two decades by a wide margin. And he’s the reason wrestlers don’t have a union, he abused his backstage clout to destroy careers and drive two different wrestling promotions into the ground, he was caught on tape admitting he was a racist and using the N-Word while bemoaning the fact that his daughter was dating a black man, and he campaigned for Donald Trump last year. Just an all around piece of shit
while bemoaning the fact that his daughter was dating a black man
iirc, bemoaning the fact that his daughter was dating a black man without at least making sure he was rich.
Ya know, so it’s worth the ‘hassle’. I guess? Fuck the Hulk Hogan.
Right. Also forgot to mention he was caught on tape saying this to his (at the time) best friend’s wife after fucking her, which is just the world’s worst pillow talk.
well he made sure that happened, because he was union busting left and right, thats why vince gave him all the airtime he wanted.
he also worked with peter thiel to destroy gawker for reporting factual information
gawker posted revenge porn and refused to take it down. thats incredibly shitty
He is (well, was) for decades the most well known professional wrestler on the world. Influenced pro wrestling in countless ways. It cannot be overstated that modern pro wrestling may not exist if not due to the contributions of Hulk Hogan.
10 years ago today (ironically) he was outed as a horrid racist (and in the last fewish years a notorious right wing nut and supporter of Trump) and he never recovered his image, to the point where even a few months ago when making an appearance on WWE programming he was damned well boo’d out of the building.
Sooo now he’s dead and can rot.
he was also temporarily scrubbed by WWE for like 5 ish years too for his racism. and then theres the gawker-thiel lawsuit too.
Bunch of instances of him being a generally shitty person, a racist, and being a hardcore Trumper mostly to my knowledge.
I don’t necessarily mourn the person, I do mourn the character, I mourn what that character meant for professional wrestling, Hulkamania catapulted wrestling into what we know today, helped bring about Mania, the nWo leads and the Monday Night Wars, that gets us the Attitude Era, which leads to wrestling being a cultural phenomenon we’ll likely never see again. I mourn that, I truly do.
Yet… Hogan made a career out of telling people to be moral All-American people, behind the scenes he was a union buster, complicit in a steroid scandal, held up others for his own gain, helped destroy a company he knew nothing about, turned out to be a racist and when he was finally allowed to return it’s reported he was telling people not he was sorry just don’t get caught on camera, his daughter quit talking to him because he only wanted a relationship on his terms, he went full Trump, all around he was not upholding the principles of Hulkamania. As a human I mostly find him distasteful, but not to go full on like some did today, Holy Beelzebub I dislike a some of you today even if I understand the sentiment.
Look at it this way:
Terry Bollea, the racist, fascist, union-busting, habitual liar, is dead.
Hulkamania, being a real American, fighting for what’s right for every man, saying your prayers and taking your vitamins, never dies.
Nah, fuck him. In truth, he helped to create the hellscape we all live in now, first through his wrestling career, then through the Gawker lawsuit, and then from helping Donald Trump get elected (by speaking at the RNC, among other things). He deserves every ounce of vile and venom this community can give to him.
It’s fair to mourn your childhood hero and all, but that Hogan was dead for a long time already, in the graveyard of the myths we outgrow next to Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.
It’s ok to speak ill of shitty people, even when they’re dead. They deserve no respect.
Is it too early for memes?
I was posting exploding-underwater-CEO memes in under 30mins /shrug
RIP Hulk Hogan.
Burn slowly, Terry Bollea.
Monday’s meme thread is going to be great; I can feel it.
They say you can’t hear images…
I’d rather not speak Ill of the dead… So I’ll be quiet.
I’ll do it.
Hulk Hogan was a narcissistic, racist, hypocritical piece of shit.
In the words of the immortal Sheiky Baby: FUCK THE HULK HOGAN, FUCKING BITCH!
Break his back, then fuck his ass!
HULK HOGAN IS BITCH I FUCK HIM IN ASS
he and THIEL also go way back too.
HULK HOGAN IS A JABRONI
I’m curious to see what WWE does in tribute considering almost everyone he worked with and most current fans hate him.
The Iron Sheik is going to put him in the afterlife camel clutch now.
“they wouldnt boo a dead man would they?” - triple h probably
I’m just happy that Jesse Ventura got to see Terry’s body float downriver.
