The first wrestling icon to break the mainstream. He may have deteriorated in the public eye over the years but his impact is undeniable.

A shit week to be a fan of rock and wrestling.

RIP

Typical Hogan fashion, no selling right to the end. Despite recent years he was still a pivotal part of my childhood and likely the main reason i grew up loving wrestling. 

Problematic in recent years, but the undeniable icon of this business. RIP brother.

I had just been chatting with fellow wresting nerds about Rick Derringer and Real American. Then this pops up. Wow! Definitely an Icon!

Bit of a shocker. A proper household name with an iconic look. No denying his star power and charisma. While not a big fan, I’ll always love that match with The Rock at Mania.

Yes, it came out he was a massive racist and lost a lot of fans, but his importance in wrestling and WWE helped it become what it did.

I will miss the mad lies he would come out with. The recent years have been hilarious for them.

My girlfriend messaged me to say someone told her he'd died, all I found were articles saying Jimmy Hart said he was fine, then I did another quick search and it was all articles posted one minute ago saying he was gone. Shocker that one. Such a larger that life character, I never really ever thought about him dying, even as he aged.

Good fucking luck to Bischoff with that amateur wrestling thing they we up to.

Absolutely devastated, despite all the recent shenanigans with the racism and what not the man was one of, if not my first childhood heroes, the whole reason I got into watching this mad world of wrestling

Never thought I’d see this day coming, proper surreal stuff and only a couple of hours ago I was watching Summerslam 90 on Netflix with the Earthquake match and the promo with Boss Man before it

RIP Hulk, there will never be another like you, thank you for the memories
