RIP Hulk Hogan.

[Zincwarrior]

Fun entertainer.

 

[DukeU]

and probably the greatest athlete in world history.

Let's not get carried away.

Steroids usage and heart attack have a linkage.

As do Covid shots

 

[justoffal]

Agreed. Steroids caught up with him.

They usually do

 

[The Duke]

A lot of folks who partied in the 70s & 80s and who were double vaxxed or more ( with boosters ) are passing . It could be a tidal wave of passings )

Sad News.

Watching the WWF in the 80s, as it was called then, was as entertaining as it gets. The Hulkster, the Macho Man, Rowdy Roddy Piper, among many others, were some of the greatest wrestling personalities. Now its a bore.

RIP, Hulkster!

ANother person I thought was dead years ago.

????????????????????????????

 

[JanetTheGreat]

Never really followed him. Its crazy, he died just a few days after Ozzy Osbourne.

 

[Hellbilly]

Trumpamania is dead.

 

[initforme]

He was a talented entertainer. I never quite understood why people got all frothed up over a staged event though. Nothing about it was real. That said he was quite an entertaining guy. A big body like that puts alot of extra strain on a heart.

Yep. Andre the Giant, the Iron Sheik and Miss Elizabeth...every one of them gone now.

 

[JWBooth]

Nobody did theater better.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

I loved watching him during the last season of Walker, Texas Ranger in 2001. Division Street is the name of his episode.

God bless you and his family always!!!

They've been dropping like flies this week starting with Double Bass virtuouso Gary Karr, Malcolm Jamal-Warner, Ozzy, and now both Hulk Hogan and Chuck Mangione.

Lot of wrestlers die young
Hard price to pay for fame

Mangione too, aye?
Sad.
Yeah, this is the one I was looking for.

Peak music in those days.
I hear a classical guitar. It's a big ol' band now.

As do Covid shots

Yes, but the jury is still out on that one. The Governator is fortunate. He went through several open heart surgeries. Barry Bonds, I hope he can hang on.

True. Fans want to see muscular guys in the ring instead of some scrawny ass dudes wrestling each other. Steroid is the answer. Lots of pro wrestler died in their 30s or 40s. Some were fortunate to live into their senior years.
