Yeap.. bummer. The hulkster was the shit.. dude had such an aura. Entrance music was always awesome too. When Vince "fired" him and he ended up coming back as 'mr america' or whatever it was.. definitely one of my top 3 memories from my days watching wrasslin. Epic. Vince was piiiiisssed.

He lived longer than a lot of his buddy's though.. decades of steroids and cocaine isn't easy on the ol ticker. Seems like most of those guys all pass due to exploding heart syndrome.

RIP brother.

I was never big on wrestling…

But he was the Hulk. My one uncle moved back to Florida and when he came back home to visit after a few months there, he looked like the Hulk.

We were not really a big wrestling family. I remember watching him with dad in the early 90's being intrigued about his shirt ripping thing.

Kinda weird, that doesn't seem that long ago and he would have been about my current age then...

I was never much into wresting but there are some people from wrestling that you can't just not know. Hulk Hogan is one of them. Others are Andre the Giant, Randy Savage, along with a few others.

I was never a big wrestling fan but his interview on Joe Rogan's podcast from about a year ago is one of the best Rogan has ever done. Check it out when you have some time.

I just watched that last night for funzies (on VHS even), it's not horrible and has quite the cast really for a dumb movie...

My Dad was a very, very, very big wrestling fan.

He was such a big wrestling fan he would physically get into the match in his mind I guess I should say.
While still seated, He would jump around on the seat he was in and wave his arms around, rub his hand on his head, yell at the Wrestlers even if he was watching them on the TV.
He was really interesting to watch.

Sometimes watching my Dad watch wrestling was better then watching the wrestling itself.

I grew up in Dayton Ohio and still live there now. We had an arena named Hera Arena.
My dad and one of my older brothers went to watch wrestling there one time and my dad was kicked out because of his physically getting into the match.
He hit the guy behind him by accident and started a big fight.

The only way my dad was allowed to go back to Hera Arena and watch wrestling was if he bought a box set of seats.
He had to buy 25 seats, five seats for five rows and he had to sit in the very middle.
Needless to say he never went back to Hera Arena to watch wrestling again.

The Hulkster was one of my dad's favorite wrestlers.
He always called him Terry Hogan because Terry was his real name.

May you R.I.P. Hulkster.
I love you Dad, may you R.I.P. as well.
