RIP Hulk Hogan

We are going over to stay with him and his wife for a long weekend soon. His house is on cinder block stilts. Does pretty good in hurricanes. Taylor Swifts.dads house is a few down and got swamped in the last hurricane. Will be fun to have the Gulf of America in the backyard
I'll really miss Hulk Hogan. Less saddened by the loss of Terry Bollea, that guy sounded like an ahole (for those not in the know, Terry is Hulks birth name)
I started a thread on the movie “Chinatown,” which was directed by a total pos. Takes all kinds to make the world, I guess.
I went to a live show with my dad as a kid; we weren't fans, but the tickets were cheap, and it was a kick. It was at my HS gym and the card included guys like Sgt Slaughter, Don Muraco, and Bob Backlund (a legit wrestler in his day who coached when he wasn't touring.) It was pretty obvious what it was, but the guys were skilled at their craft in the ring, and watching the bad guys work the crowd, especially the true believers, was pretty funny.
Social media is a cesspool, inhabited by the kinds of creatures that live in cesspools.
And do not forget Chief Jay Strongbow with a death elbow smash and pseudo Indian dance Knee kick!
Yeah, Jay would get his *** kicked for the first nine minutes of the match and then come to life.
Always. Then his opponent would stand there not wanting any of that dance.
Many ( if not most ) of those Saturday morning matches were filmed and performed at the Hamburg Field House in Hamburg Pennsylvania once or twice a month. They would have these big event cards with 10 matches or more and we would go once in a while as we lived in Reading. Then they would show them over the next couple of weeks On Saturday mornings. Thoroughly enjoyable. It was a hoot. Chief, Toru Tanaka, George the Animal Stell etc. etc.
Fast forward many years and one Super Bowl Sunday while living in DC, me and a buddy to kill time went out to the Capital Center on Saturday evening to see the Capitals than on Sunday back to the Cap to see George the Animal Steel take on Andre the Giant. Epic Weekend of drunkenness.
Did anyone know drunkenness was spelled with two Ns?
Tony Garea from New Zealand! One of the Good Guys who was great filler and occasionally won a big match!
Everyone around you would rather it be “Old Spice,” “Degree” or even “Take A Shower, Dude.”
Hogan was the standard bearer for the innovative idea that being a true superstar in pro wrestling was more about "look" and "charisma" than in-ring ability.
Hogan was never a particularly gifted wrestler. But he was a great talker, and he looked like an action figure.
Hogan leaves behind a very complicated legacy-- at once, a global icon through two separate boom periods of professional wrestling, and a deeply insecure, and toxic individual when the cameras weren't rolling.
RIP brother.
It’s not easy being “on” all the time. I have a friend who is a minor celebrity, had a recurring role on Seinfeld, and everyone expects him to be on for them. It’s not easy.
Just another reminder I’ll be in the on deck circle sooner than later.
When I was in 5th grade I created something we called “Fuji”, in honor of Mr. Fuji. You’d ask to go sharpen your pencil and on the way back you’d walk by the blackboard to pinch a healthy dose of chalk dust out of the chalk tray, toss it as discretely as possible into face of an unsuspecting classmate and say, “FUJI!”. It was in honor of Mr. Fuji, who always had a blinding dose of salt in his tights that he would use to turn his match around when thrown into his opponent’s face. It gained legendary status when Mrs. Hahn stopped class one day and said, “We are not doing Fuji salt in this classroom anymore.”

So I researched why people own Pit Bulls as pets.
It turns out that weak and insecure males most appreciate their aggressive tendencies as a form of protection.
These same males tend to have unhealthy relationships with most other females, especially their mothers.
♂Canine choices matter.
I never followed the sport [sic] - just remotely. But his impact on it, and pop culture - from what I saw growing up w/ him - was beyond belief. It could be argued that for a decent period of time he was one of the 10 most famous people in the USA.
Quite a career. Never met him. Met Brooke a few times.

No joke: I actually saw Wayne Knight at the grocery store shortly after I moved to Studio City. Absolutely marked out.
I’ve heard just the opposite. Most I know thought he was a pretty good guy.
Prayers for him and his family.
Whoever posted this didn’t do the Sheik any favors. It makes the Sheik look like a real freakin jerk insinuating the Sheik posted this the day the Hulkster died. Now that I see that the SHEIK passed away in 2023, and actually posted this over 4 and a half years ago, I’ll give him a pass at being a real a$$hole. All it proves is that he was obviously jealous of the Hulkster’s success in the past. So what.
My guess is that if the Sheik was still alive and saw that someone reposted this derogatory post insinuating it came from him on the day the Hulkster died, he’d be more pi$$ed at the poster than he ever was at the Hulk.
May the Sheik rest in peace too.

According to Wikipedia, "He did not write the Tweets himself; his managers, Jian and Page Magen, handled the account."

Thanks for pointing that out. That makes the repost even worse if the Sheik’s dead too. Whoever reposted that must hate both of them.
