Hulk Hogan RIP

There's no doubt that for people who follow the inner machinations of wrestling, he will leave a legacy that is - shall we way - complicated, but there's forever to discuss that. For a lot of people, he was just Hulk Hogan, a real life comic book superhero who would come out to 'Real American' flex his muscles and beat the bad guy, and people loved it. Yeah, people got tired of it eventually, but chances are that if you were a kid through the mid 80s to early 90s, this guy was a part of what you remember fondly about it.

Unless you're really bad like, say, Jeffrey Epstein, I think everyone deserves those few days after their death to just remember the good.

Kevin Nash Jake The Snake and Kurt Angle all at Northern Ireland Comic Con in September I bet all three will have some epic stories on Hulk Hogan.

Steve Jobs yes treated staff is bad the other his life

Mozart why is that complicated

Nietzsche so what dies in obscurity

No problem with Iassac Newton just because he has a look at pseudo science especially at the time he was alive

Hogan was great for wrestling but should have been put on retirement long again and after the next few weeks the mans many horrible life should be mentioned

Hulkster and Randy Macho Man Savage together again for a bit of banter. RIP

The irony of that twitter user being a massive racist has to be intentional right?

A shot every time he talks about the Russo incident at The Bash

Dead within the hour

a piece of my childhood passed away yesterday with the news that Hulk has gone.

Whatever about his latter indiscretions, he is the reason we are all professional wrestling fans. Without him, the business would never have taken the world by storm back in the early 80s and become what it is today.

So many memories of him growing up, I was so invested in the storylines, a few of my earliest memories was Earthquake squashing him and then being stretchered out of the arena, i literally thought he was dead. The Mega Powers joining forces and the breakup over Miss Elizabeth, the Ultimate Warrior match, i was too young to see the Andre match but I have watched it numerous times over the years, when they had a rematch a year later on free TV, there was 33millions viewers!

And who cant forget the best heel turn in history ( yes, F*ck off Cena) when he joined the NWO. Iconic run for a few years.

Yes he had his views and treated people poorly, lied and supports Trump, but he gave me some of the best memories of my youth.. when life was so simple back then!

RIP Hulk.

Death? That doesn't work for me brother!

I wonder what the reception would be if they did a big tribute for him.

Looking at the last time he was brought out and was resoundingly booed by the audience, wouldn't surprise me if some people didn't react well to a tribute to a righfully disgraced icon.

Yes, he's a known racist.

Depends

People who say he's disgraced will ignore Austin's domestic abuse episode.

Bowie fans who say his underage "activities" were for "his art" will throw the kitchen sink at Jackson for his alleged "activities"

Liverpool fans will say United were only successful because of dealings with the FA and spending vast amounts of money will ignore how they themselves have transfer fee records and got many dubious a referee decision last season.

You yourself, were in an Oasis thread, throwing shade at fans of the band spending fortunes on tickets and merchandise, yet you travel all over the place regularly to see Bruce Springsteen regardless of the price.

In short, people are hypocrites

To you he’s not disgraced, to many more he’s a known racist.

It's not that what you're saying isn't true, but did he not also do good things throughout his life also? Was it all one-way traffic? Does the bad completely negate and overrule the positive?

You can take it however you want, but the wider consensus in the IWC is that his legacy will be complicated. In the broader public, his memory will be largely positive.
