The R.I.P. Thread

[Langers]

In recent years he has apologised for his past misgivings, found the lord, repented & tried to right his wrongs. There are a lot of stories of Hulk paying for peoples surgeries and helping save lives. Ric Flair also has stated that Hulk was at his bedside when he was at deaths door. He also was in contact with Jim Ross who has had 2 bouts of Cancer himself.

Yes he said & did some really stupid stuff but his legacy to pop culture & the Wrestling business cannot be understated. Without Vince Mcmahon & Hulk Hogan WWE is not the monster it is today.

RIP Hulkster

Also as a morbid fact... with Hulks passing. The first Wrestlemania main event where all participants are still alive is Wrestlemania 12. Bret Hart vs Shawn Michaels.

No idea where to start with this.

So I won't even bother.

Vince and Hulk made wrestling what it is today, both are utter scumbags for the most part though and incidentally they mostly hated each others guts too.

Could be said for so many wrestlers and others in that business though to be fair.
