YEAH,,watched something yesterday a blogger/podcast that was reported he wasn't doing well and evrything caught up to him surgeries,sicknes,boy was worn down.

I just heard this on the radio less than 10 minutes ago. This just hurts.

The very reason I started hitting the weights in the first place was due to Hogan. To me, he made having muscles cool. And I'd seen other wrestlers (on local TV) who were swole. But, the Hulkster was a different guy altogether.

He still has his beach store here in Orlando. I wonder if they'll turn it into a memorial.

And maybe, just maybe, WWE will quit with the revisionist history and acknowledge that they wouldn't have what they have today (especially with the Saturday Night's Main Event) without Hogan.

First it was the nice black guy from the Cosby show, then Ozzy and now Hogan.

Man, the passing of these folks remind us of the fragility of life.

I agree.  His was big but his physique was never that impressive compared to so many others in the ring.  Still he did popularize wrestling for the masses.  I had stopped paying attention to Hogan and wrestling more than 30 years ago but I recall he had some sort of reality TV show (Hogan Knows Best) and he reportedly had some very racist attitudes and beliefs.  I had stopped paying attention him long before that but it was all just another reason to forget about him. 

Can’t say I will shed a tear.

Bubba, his ex-best friend, who let Hogan fuck his wife, has been reporting that Hogan was at death's door for almost 2 months. Hogan supposedly went in for a complicated spine surgery, and had a hard time waking up, and has been in a vegetative state for awhile.

RIP Hulk.

When you're a kid, you're not concerned about someone being "lean" or having "some shape". You're impressed with BIG!! Plus, when you don't have cable, virtually the only way you see muscular physiques is by watching wrestling.

When I saw Hogan live in 1989 (right here in Orlando), my jaw DROPPED. I was at the barrier; so I got to see him up close.

First, my head kept craning up because of how tall he was. WOW!! I had never seen anyone that big, that muscular in my entire life!!

That sealed it for me. I was hooked!! Hogan was GIGANTIC!! I wanted to get big and strong!!

Yes, I became a bodybuilding fan. But, I would never have touched a muscle magazine, if I hadn't seen the Hulkster.

The match that put Hogan over the top and made Hulkamania a phenomenon.

[hench]

I get you, he looked great when he used to hit that arnold like biceps/triceps pose

 I thought he had one more match left in him. Guess I was wrong. RIP terry bollea

YEP!! The 24-inch pythons, brother!!!



When I heard the host of one of my favorite talks shows lead with "One of the biggest names in pro wrestling in the 80s"......my heart sunk. My thoughts were, "It's either Flair or Hogan"!!!

And I was just laughing about his WM9 match where he beat Yokozuna for the title after Yoko beat Bret Hart.

RIP The Hulkster

So sad.  Love him or hate him, he really did change the industry.

[MAXX]

that's pretty long age for having juiced for most his adult life. Maybe he could have lived abit longer with some more preventive measures at older age
