Man, Hulk Hogan died.

This f[BLEEP]ked me up hard. He was one of the big heroes of my childhood. And he died being a real life villain.

This is like what JK Rowling fans must feel when they come to terms with who she is

Typical Hulk Hogan, couldn't even put over Ozzy Osbourne

@SpeedRcrX1:03 AM

LOL

// J_Daito //1:04 AM

I bet they will have to cremate him because he refuses to let anyone bury him

@SpeedRcrX1:04 AM

LMAO

stop making me laugh when I'm upset dude haha

But yeah it's like... all my heroes are passing away and dropping like flies

And it's like... I'm sad that Hulk Hogan the character I knew in my youth as a child is dead, but I am upset that Hulk Hogan the man went out being remembered as a racist MAGA hat.

He never repented or changed his ways.

Now he never will.

Dude it's like when Michael Jackson died. Rei-chan wrote on her blog something like "today is the first day of a world without Michael Jackson." And today is the first day of a world without Hulk Hogan. And I don't know how to process that.

This video pretty much sums up my conflicted views of him

And this article too.

Hulk Hogan’s tragic death leaves behind a ruined legacy in pro wrestling - Cageside Seats

Hogan’s legacy comes to an end as that racist old man who was booed by wrestling fans and openly mocked by today’s top stars.

the comments

“ Whether people like it or not, Terry Bollea intentionally chose to write chapters in his life story that portray him as an absolutely terrible person who never learned the humility that comes with taking responsibility for your mistakes and misdeeds. He had every opportunity to fix the publicly available version of his life story and for whatever reason, largely chose to make little to no effort to improve it. Instead in many ways he instead leaned into the actions that made him controversial and pandered to the people who would overlook the blatant racism, among other things, for a variety of reasons, like his perceived patriotism or his ability to be taken seriously with a skullet, or people who didn't think his controversial statements were in fact controversial to begin with. ”

Yeah....

Like... kami-sama this hits hard.

I wouldn't be into puroresu if not for him

And a lot of people are pissing on his grave. And I get why.

But I just can't bring myself to.

Unlike Ozzy or Michael Jackson, Hulk was my childhood in a big-ass way. This is a blow.

This is the first time I'm really feeling my age.

I saw a comment on this Metafilter thread that really catches how I feel

“ I have childhood eyes, and I have wisdom eyes, and it’s uncomfortable when the two conflict. The unquestioning joy of an 80s childhood before life got complicated, and my emotional attachment to those signifiers. I will never be able to think objectively about Michael Jackson for example. This is completely impossible. Or rather, to do so, you’d be asking me to break down and extinguish a level of innocence and joy at which point I’m not sure I’d be able to go on living, having nothing left but the stark vision of how cruel and dark life is (and people can be). ”
