Fuck him honestly I’m just reporting that he died.

I have a lot of very divisive thoughts on CaptainJackBrotherDude, namely that everything he did that made me mark out was tempered by some level of BS or example of being an awful human being.

As I said yesterday these things come in three's

What a coincidence. The Trump administration lately was releasing censored data from old gawker articles about Epstein in a pathetic attempt of seeming transparent . . . even though Peter Thiel and Hogan are the reason it got shut down.

I guess all I can say is: Rest.

Good.

The Gen X in me is feeling the sadness of another piece of nostalgia being gone but he turned out to be such an asshole with his bullshit Trump support.

He definitely turned into a piece of shit. He probably always was but as a kid I was too young and dumb to see it

OH YEAHHHH!!

I had front row seats to see him job to Goldberg in the Georgia Dome in the mid 90s. Too bad he’ was a crappy person.

edit: wrong decade 

[mthor]

RIP, I guess, but I miss Roddy Piper and Nikolai Volkov a lot more.

Same here and Capt Lou Albano, Andre the Giant, Eddie Guerrero….like there’s 300 wrestlers I miss more. They die so damn young. 71 is ancient for a wrestler

I saw him at the Garden during the first wrestlemania 40 years ago 

damn I’m old 🫠

[Jman]

It just hit me that over the past two weeks, both Jim Ross and Ric Flair had announced they had successfully beaten cancer.  Man, we’re all getting older.

I wonder how much of the online animosity is staged but I can’t help thinking he was probably a dick to him irl. I have nothing to support this,  it’s just he became such a fuckin clown that I can’t imagine him ever being different.

If Hogan is involved I'm sure there was heat between the two. It's interesting that it was the Iron Sheik that Hulk Hogan beat to win his first WWF title kicking off that wrestling boom of the 80s and now both are dead. Vince McMahon outlived them both.

McMahon is the worst of them all. He’s a fuckin monstrous pos

Minutes later, Chuck Mangione's passing was announced.

 

[stilgar]

There is a thread for Chuck.

This clip aged well 🤣

Another one….but also, screw him.

I kinda wanna ruin my roommate’s day (he loves wrestling a little too much). My roommate is also kind of a shitty human.

Meh.

Hulk Hogan is much like Kevin Sorbo in my head. There is that nostalgic feeling from the past-past but their current behavior sort of shits on it. 

[Seight]

As a wrestling fan it's kinda sad.

As an actual person I'm not gonna say "RIP BOZO" but I am certainly thinking it loudly.

I been tempted to say something in a Gen X group I’m in cuz everyone is like “omg Gen X is not ok” and I’m over here wanting to say “this Gen Xer is fine with it” but it’s not worth it. 

[stilgar]

[MasqueradeOverture]

He's definitely on the Epstein list.

I was pretty young at the time. 
I grew up in fed housing projects and the WWF including Hogan was supposed to have a wrestling event on the property. Something went wrong and the event got canceled. Something about not having an ambulance nearby, I think. My brother had gotten really sad because he wanted to see Hulk Hogan and I think even Jimmy the Super Fly Snuka was supposed to be there. Months later my dad got tickets for wrestlemania to make up for my brother’s disappointment. It was pretty cool seeing Hogan team up with Mr T against Piper and Orndorf. My memory is hazy but I think Hogan was no longer the heel at that time but I’m not 100% on that.  

[1pooh4u]

Lol

I posted in the other thread because I didn't want to put gripes in a memorial thread, but I could have posted it here and it would have been fine.

What Hogan should be remembered for is busting Jesse Ventura's wildcat strike before Wrestlemania II.  Thanks to him, wrestlers are still not unionized and still don't have some of the most basic protections other unionized groups have.  We may never know if Owen Hart would have survived had a union been in place to advocate for better equipment and training.  We're only now getting to see what concussions are doing to professional wrestlers - what subtle changes to the choreography of a typical match could have been implemented almost 40 years ago that might prevent head injuries?  To say his legacy is complicated is an understatement, but the irrefutable fact is that he sacrificed all of his fellow wrestlers (and his own well being at that) so that he could be famous for a few fleeting years.
