RIP Legend

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Holy fucking shit.

 

[That Damn Kid]

What a crazy week

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This one hits hard. I know the issues people have with him, but the dude was my childhood hero. Glad he found God before death.

 

[dem]

Never liked Hulk.. even when I was a kid

But man.. there goes ANOTHER legend

 

[AJUMP23]

Well that hit me.

There was no one bigger or better to kids in the 80s that Hulk. He and the Warrior, Savage, and Andre all changed the wrestling business and made it global. I would say I was a hulkimaniac.

 

[Mephisto40]

Damn, another legend lost this week

 

[dave_d]

Damn, I should have checked here before I put the update in the wrestling topic.

 

[dorkimoe]

RIP to one of the Goats (pos person but part of my childhood in the ring)

 

[TheAtomicPile]

And you all booed him and made him sad during his final appearance. Shame.

I'm not sure the USA can continue to exist.

 

[Bojji]

This week is really fucked up...

RIP.

 

[Azzurri]

Always happenes in 3s

 

[Trunx81]

Suburban Commando is a guilty pleasure of mine.

RIP, Goat

 

[dave_d]

I'm just amazed Vince McMahon and Ric Flair are still around. (I would have thought both would have died before Hogan)

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Shit. I never followed his career aside from the WWF heydays of the 80s. By the time the 90s came and then left to go WCW, I already bailed from watching wrestling.

Funny thing is he wasnt even my fav wrestler, but I was always pumped to see his matches even though you always knew he'd do the comeback and leg drop. My bros didnt care for WWF like me, but when a Hogan match was on TV they'd also watch!

I remember seeing him in theatres in the movie with Zeus.

 

[dispensergoinup]

RIP LEGEND

 

[Northeastmonk]

Hulk is what made me interested in wrestling games as a kid. That ripped shirt is legendary.

 

[TheDarkPhantom]

Two legends in the same week, God damn... If you were a kid in the 80's/90's chances are the Hulkster was a big part of your life. Rest in Paradise champ

 

[Connificent]

Damn brotha! RIP

 

[LordCBH]

RIP hulkster

 

[DragoonKain]

RIP brother

 

[Queso de Grande]

I never thought about Hulk dying. It is hitting me harder than I thought it would.

 

[Setzer]

Huge loss! RIP Legend

 

[Elginer]

Damn man. Dude legit was a legend. Was a blast seeing him growing up.

 

[Toons]

In spite of his controversies and some of his comments, I still wish him a peaceful rest

 

[YCoCg]

 

[Rran]

Dang, this guy was kind of THE wrestler growing up. I like when he says LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING BROTHER

ResetEra showing its despicable colors as expected though. I've decided never to give them hits again.

 

[Sub_Level]

Rest in peace.

 

[zokie]

 

[Sardaukarama]

Dayuum this month the reaper has gone into overtime ! My fave wrestler in the 80's RIP

 

[MayauMiao]

RIP Hulk Hogan and despite his ups & downs he will always be a WWE legend.

 

[Rival]

I can't even describe how important Hulk was to kids my age back in the day.
What a sucky week.

 

[Ulysses 31]

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Such an icon!

Rest in peace. <3

 

[MachRc]

Rest in peace to my childhood American Hero. Man all that money from gawker too. RIP hulk.

 

[Uhtred]

Shit!

 

[Rran]

I like his cameo in Rocky III as well. Stallion vs Thunderlips.

 

[Boozeroony]

The guy was a legend, and I'm not even American.

 

[Nydius]

Well, fuck. This week is turning into a depressive mess for us Gen X'ers.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[Chuck Berry]

The fuck is going on man

Three in a row? Theo, Ozzy and The Hulkster?

What a shit week

 

[deathsaber]

I wish he was a better guy, but he might be THE reason pro wrestling exists today, and needless to say he was a paramount figure of my (and pretty much a whole generation's) childhood. RIP Hulkster.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

 

[VulcanRaven]

RIP. One of the best ever.

 

[Goliath77]

What a legend. Rest in peace big man

 

[AJUMP23]

Thunder in Paradise was a terrible show I loved.

 

[The Pleasure]

Greatest moment in television

 

[Mattdaddy]

Fuck it made me so sad this morning when I saw this. RIP Brother. Legendary figure, such big piece of my childhood.

Did the same in their Ozzy thread. There's a good bit of the usual bite back on social media in general.
