Even if you take away the racism, Hulk had this shyt coming to him just from his ego. Yeah it got him serious cash in the 80s and 90s, but even then it became clear how Hulk still needs to be Hulk and not Terry Bollea.
On top of that, SOOO many wrestlers from Flair, to Taker, to HBK, to Sting, to Warrior, to Macho Man, to Goldberg, to many more have stories about how Hogan goes out the way to sabotage guy’s pushes when he feels they threatening his spot.

Dude is insecure as hell and the ONLY thing he got going for him is that gimmick. Damn shame...:pacspit:

Funny thing is, is that Hogan can be a very good worker. However I recall Steamboat talking about a story how after WM3, no one was going to shake Hogan/Andre's hand, but shaking Steamboat/Savage's hand because they stole the show from Hogan.

Now yes he was working with Andre, but I think that type of thing eats at Hogan. Believing that the Fans come first over Working. The problem though, was that the fans he appeal to were children, who more into theatrics than the technical nature.

So growing up, they began to want more than the poses and formula of Hulking Up/Big Boot/Leg Drop.

Hogan thought kept doing it, and then from that along with him always butting in, you could see even without the dirtsheets that he had an ego to him. When the racism came to light, then the bottom just fell out.

Now he is a guy who is retired, but is afraid of being forgotten. Now in Wrestling this isn't a problem, but for Hogan he will always be viewed as, "Oh he needs his 15-20 mins for a stupid thing." to Wrestlers who want to be on TV.

Then he walks back and expects to be treated as the Legend.

Now with say Sting, I am sure he would go back and introduce himself and get to know the young wrestlers. But he wouldn't give off that aura of, "I am the Legend. Respect me." but instead of a person who would be willing to teach you if you ask.

Hogan wouldn't even care about who you are, just smile as long as you remember who he is.

Neg me for this, I dont care but every time a wrestler dies (Especially one as loved as Brodie) I truly wonder why God didnt rid us of Hogan instead.

I know thats terrible but i genuinely hate delusionally narcissistic people.

My girl and I been plowin’ through WWF and WCW chronologically on the Network from ‘87 on, and any time we get a buncha since-passed talent on screen, I change the Chris Rock “Biggie: Dead, Tupac: Dead, Vanilla Ice: Still alive” line to whoever we like on screen who’s died and always end “Hogan: Still alive. :stopitslime:

I still ain’t forgive what he did to Sting when he told Nick Patrick to do a regular 3 count :unimpressed:


Crazy thing is as a kid I preferred damn near every other wrestler over Hogan. This was way before his racism was exposed

Me too

I didn’t like him till he became Hollywood Hogan

And even then it was :francis: with a little bit of :ehh:

Two things.

1. I forgot the hulk hogan story was broken here first. I even made a reddit thread and deleted it cause I ain't believe walt lmao.

2. No one around the age of 30 really goes a shyt about hogan. He was by far the uncoolest part of nwo.

He really thought people would be over it by now. Nah Terry, its fukk you forever. Hogan killed Hulkamania. shyt was corny anyway.

People don't want to be linked with him because it's bad for business, plus he has a tendency to make things about himself. Who wants to be associated with that? And as time goes on Hogan will continue to be an afterthought as the new wrestlers will be further removed from his era.

Hogan will never be an afterthought when it comes to wrestling
