Vaxxed?

I never followed Hogan on social media, or anything like that. But i thought Hogan was against the vaccines? I swear he did make a few headlines for speaking out against them in the past.

 

[AJUMP23]

Rick Flair in tears.

 

[SpiceRacz]

That's why having mixed feelings should not be shamed. He WAS racist but we didn't find this out until MUCH later in his life (thanks to that reality show, I think?) but there's no denying the IMPACT he had on little boys and girls who would choose wrestling or even firefighting, the military or police work as a vocation because of his inspiring character of Hulk Hogan in the 80s and early 90s.

Who is shaming for having mixed feelings? I'm not seeing that anywhere. I only see people using this as an opportunity to shit on the guy.

 

[jufonuk]

What happened to Flairs head ?
Also it must he hard losing a longtime friend.

 

[Tams]

RIP.

What a shit week.

Probably fell when he was drunk. Not kidding. There's a lot of stories recently of him getting drunk and violent, falling down on the street, and even shitting himself in public.

Helps WWF go Global in the 80's with Hulkamania and Wrestlemania.

Helps WCW go Global in the 90's with NWO.

Comes back to WWE for another Red n Yellow run in the 00's.

Helps TNA beat WWE in a rating win in the 2010's (lol).

The biggest draw of all time and imo the GOAT of pro wrestling.


Rest in Peace Hulkster!

I've been a fan of wrestling for 40 years.

They don't tend to age gracefully.

Andre giving Hogan the title

 

[Lionel Richie]

Hogan is such a Mandela Effect for me because I thought he had died a long time ago before he resurfaced last year. Maybe around his porn flick.

 

[squallheart]

If you really want to see some sick, twisted, sad and disturbing shit go venture on over to the Purple Asylum to see what their reactions are to this.

Reddit as well

Such a pop

Love that sell by the rock when Hogan does the leg drop haha..

 

[Kiwicha]

I'll write what I shouted when I read the thead title:
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOINN ON?!!!
I remember him from Gremmlims, Rocky III and his last pro Trump appearance.
RIP gentle giant.

 

[ultrazilla]

This hit me pretty hard. I was talking to my wife and she could see I was visibly upset as I had explained that he was a major part
of my life growing up, especially in the 1980s when wrestling had big characters and stories, basically a live action comic book for kids.

His death took something out of me. My brother Solarstrike along with our other brother grew up watching and being entertained by Hulk
and the many others like Iron Sheik, Andre the Giant, Roddy Piper, etc. It's sad to see all the faces you grew up with passing away.

Rest well Hulk(Terry Bollea) and thank you very much for the memories and God Bless.

 

[The Cockatrice]

All these deaths really show how old we're getting and how fast time flies. RIP

 

[MrCunningham]

RIP. I grew out of watching wrestling quite young, but I won't deny how big of a star he was, even outside of the US.

Hulk Hogan's popularity could not be understated on a global scale. He was huge world wide. The first real WWF superstar. I would say the few others wrestlers who came somewhat close to his popularity were Stone Cold, The Rock, John Cena, and a few others. Maybe Undertaker? ... controversial opinion... Donald Trump... I mean, Trump is the only WWE superstar to become president of the United States... twice.

 

[Soodanim]

The grestest mystery gimmick of all time

 

[DeafTourette]

I'm not talking about in here. Just in general. It's like you can't feel a way about someone that just died. Death is always painful. Just because YOU didn't like the person doesn't meant they were $hitty their whole lives or that no one missed them. I'm seeing a whole lot of "you should only say good things about this dead person" and "oh, they died? Let's party" ...

 

[DeafTourette]

Never going to that site simply because if I showed my mixed feelings, they'd say I'm literally Hitler... Even tho I'm a black man.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I miss the glory days of WWF and I'll miss the Hulkamania

Go now, and be at peace champ

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Ew. Growing out of wrestling is like growing out of video games. I refuse.

In honor of Hulk Hogan, lets all rip our shirts. Who's with me?

He had skin cancer and I think I heard he had his last treatment recently and is cancer free.

I'm with you, brother.

Andre giving Hogan the title

What a classy post Sting, Jake and especially from Taker. Respect to him despite his personal feelings about Hulk he dropped the title to him twice and helped elevate Mark's character in the early days of it and again later in the 00's.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

What is the "purple asylum" people are referencing? Fami, Reset?

 

[Sinozen]

So many deaths of late this whole sub forum looks like a freaking memorial.

 

[Syphon Filter]

R.I.P to the goat, the face of wrestling Hogan.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

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

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

What happen at his final appereance? is the crowd far left and they boed him?

 

[Diddy X]

These characters made America great, who's left now?

 

[adamsapple]

It was in Florida, at the Netflix debut. He came out to hawk his new beer or something.

Just checked to see what they had to say. What a disgusting piece of shit forum.

 

[kpopSuperstar]

There are 400.000 people on reddit doing the same. I swear the left is worse than maga, they love to celebrate death of people.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Which one?

 

[demigod]

Which one?

The purple forum, just in general that they are on with his death.

 

[Beretta]

It's insane the vile garbage people are saying.

I don't care if people want to dislike the man for the dumb stuff he said or did but the fact of the matter is he was a huge part of the wrestling boom and older people's childhoods. No one can change that. These same moronic fucks posting how happy they are he is dead are the same people who cheer for SCSA, who beat the shit out of women. Hypocritical dipshits.


You do not have to agree with negative things he did but at least have the decency to respect the legacy left behind and the impact of his death for people who grew up with him.

 

[Richard Packer]

RIP

Your mistake was thinking there was anything wrong with MAGA

If you don't want America to be great again, what do you want instead? Do you want China to dominate the world?

It wasn't in Florida, it was in LA.

Soon after he endorsed Trump and the election so I think it's pretty safe to say it was a very left leaning Californian crowd. People tried to excuse it as past stuff and spruiking the beer, but c'mon, the timing. It was in January.

 

[adamsapple]

Ah, gotcha. I read Florida in one of Google's AI results.

 

[CokeDiet]

Haha understandable I've got Google AI completely mixing information.

We are living in the age of misinformation brother!

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Google AI can be total trash. When I google pro athletes, sometimes it gets mixed up with his brother athlete. lol

 

[GulfCoastZilla]

man this guy death brought out the worse in the purple pussies.

Hogan is a legend, a flawed man but a legend none the less. He was larger than the business itself that's for sure.

And even though I definitely rooted against him when he fought against the Ultimate Warrior, he gave us Hollywood Hogan and the NWO.

Whatcha going to do brother when Hulk Hogan hits you with the big boot and leg drop?

 

[violence]

Yeah, he got booed in LA at a raw premier. A day later. LA fires…

In fact, I made some Grok photos to help me visualize what might've happened in order to solve the mystery, but I never posted them in that thread.

Spoiler: a bit sus

 

[Kacho]

Still doesn't feel real.

 

[Simply Sami]

All these deaths really show how old we're getting and how fast time flies. RIP

It's going to happen more often as we grow older. As with each passing year the list of celebrities was growing especially in late 80s and 90s.

Really? LOL Maga? The idiots who would celebrate ANYTHING bad to happen to others as long as they're not white? OK...and fuck hogan, a real american POS.

 

[P:axMagellanic]

A bit of Americana died. The world is losing its characters.
