Hulk Hogan RIP

I wonder if Trump will order flags to be flown at half-mast?

Hulk was a great self-promoter.
Anyway, Hulk entertained me for years. I'll miss him.

A real American said his prayers, took his vitamins, and everything.
What ya going to do when Hulkamania runs wild in heaven on you.

I am a real American
I fight for the rights of every man
I am a real American
And fight for what's right
Fight for your life

Well, I stand strong about right and wrong
And I don't take trouble for very long
'Cause I got something deep inside of me
A courage is the thing that keeps me free

End of an era. Vale Hulkster.

This is one that got to me. If you were an 80's child like me you were a Hulk Hogan fan.

Tomorrow's Friday Night Smackdown promises to be a real slobberfest.

I dont think there's anyone that was bigger. I may go watch No Holds Barred for nostalgia.

Just rewatched his NWO turn for old times sake.

What a classic moment.

YES. An amazing time in my life. With Hulkamania, all things possible. I still feel that way.

Hulk made America great again when he beat the Iron Sheik at MSG.
Hulkamania running wild in New York City.

I saw him last year on Spring Break at this restaurant in Clearwater Beach. He looked good. Don't know what happened but it looks like it was sudden and not expected. I took some pictures of him. Rest in Peace Hulk! Was great to watch when I was growing up.

Use to play this all the time at the arcade growing up (that was before Nintendo and Playstation/Xbox for the young folks):

I hear that the 80's were such a great time as a kid and he was very big part of that.

I just read that too.

Very nice opening tribute on Friday Night SmackDown.
HHH was humble instead of his usual blowhard self.
The ten-bell salute was a nice touch; the rest of the tribute was a pretty good clip show.

Great picture. Like him or not like him, guy moved the needle.

He lifted Andre the Giant. Supposedly, ripped up his back lifting The Giant.

I really didn't like him, but that was part of the game. You picked your favorites:
*My favorites were probably Kamala and Junkyard Dog.
...Ricky The Dragon Steamboat and Macho Man were cool, too.
