Ruined his legacy being a stupid fucking MAGAtard.

What a waste.

Trump is a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, as is his Sec of Education (her only claim to fame).

Hogan appealed to Trump's base, in math class we used to call it 'the lowest common denominator'.

Hogan's heyday was largely before my time, but I remember him being popular and charismatic in cameos. It's a shame he squandered his legacy.

These days, all I have to say is, "Thoughts and prayers."

The thing about the WWE (etc) is it’s basically a drag show on steroids (literally): a pure drama & staged violence based / themed drag show, but still a drag show, yet the MAGAts (who are sooooo threatened by drag performers reading books to kids in a library setting) bring their kids to arenas enmasse to watch the disturbing spectacle that is the WWE, (etc).

Weird…



And there was always some homoerotic dynamic going on between Hulk Hogan & the "macho" MAGAt types (probably because “The Hulkster" was tall, with long blonde hair & big tits (pecs) who always did a strip show partway through the show ("went topless"). Yeah, Hulk Hogan was "beloved" by the MAGAts, and they will miss their favorite (drag) performer…

Weird…



Anyway…



We. Told. Them. So.

The guy was a snitch who sabotaged Jesse Ventura's campaign to unionize the WWF and a racist with ties to Peter Thiel. And he was a pathological liar. Good riddance.

Better than being a chickenshit closet MAGAt like you.

Requiem for a Heavyweight shows a sad view of wrestling. The beat up old boxer who was proud of never throwing a fight couldn't get a job doing anything else, so he was reduced to wrestling in an Indian costume. He was a clown.

The scripted falls may hurt less than real fights, but done many times as a career, the result is still battered bodies with short lifespans.

Me thinks the many (admitted) years of steroids killed his heart, finally.

I thought that, too, after reading wrestler "Superstar Billy Graham" talking about the enormous amount of steroids Hogan injected DAILY. Graham said Hogan had a hardened lump of skin the size and shape of a tennis ball on his hip because Hogan insisted on using the same injection site every day.

The news tonight though was detailing the sheer volume of Hogan's bone replacement surgeries over the past 20 years, it seems 30 years on the road wrestling put a helluva lot of mileage on his body.

Can’t decide who that burned worse (better?).

I believe Hogan had both knees, both hips and one shoulder replaced. Along with many back issues. 40 + years in the ring plus all the steroids took their toll. Not worth the rumored $25 million he was worth.

 

[butters]

guess the news leaves me indifferent.

If he was murdered or died in some terrible accident, I'd experience a little sympathy. Even magats deserve a little sympathy sometimes. As of now, well he was close to trump and made $140 million suing Gawker for publishing stuff, racial crap, he was taped saying.

Hogan has become the centerpiece of scandals and controversies over recent years. He was caught using racial slurs on a sex tape that was made public -- 10 years ago to the day of his death -- leading Hogan to subsequently receive a $140 million judgment in 2016 against Gawker, which published portions

I dont celebrate his death. I also dont really care.
Ill celebrate Trump's death though.

Bring on the hate.

What a fucking, crazy, outlandish dude.

I think you're correct on the replacements. Hogan claims to have had "ten back surgeries" between 2013 and 2023, resulting in a huge dependence on opioids, which he quit cold turkey after finding religion in 2023.

Hogan had major neck surgery in January, and evidently the surgeons nicked something in his trachea which hastened Hogan's downfall, major complications, breathing difficulties, etc.

Robstory: I actually stood behind Hogan in the Delta Airlines VIP check in line in Atlanta around 1995 or so. Honestly didn't recognize him at first (!!!!) because his back was to me and he had his hair tucked up under a weird looking beret.

From the waist up, Hogan was ungodly MASSIVE. That's what I noticed first . Chest. back, shoulder, arms...."larger than life". He was a legit six foot eight back then. (I'm very good at estimating height). He purportedly died at 6'5 1/2. Thats a shit-ton of spinal compression.

Why are all you guys playing along with his insanity, his name was Terry.

In his 40 years, or so, of wrestling he made the medical profession wealthy. What he did to his own body and what Vince McMahan did to him was criminal. Yes, Terry Bollea became Hulk Hogan, but like many of the WWF/WWE participants he was lucky to "live" to be 71. Many didn't live past their late 40's, early 50's. It's a shame that such an 'entertaining' sport took so many athletes lives way too early.
