Sad to hear, rest in peace brother.
Yeah, inflation makes it the rule of 5 now.
As mentioned above, the guitarist for Golden Earring makes six.
Correct.
Orange Man Tiny/Magical
Orange Man Hulk/Hollywood
Orang Man Bad-Ass/President
Seriously though, JWN had the nicest summary:
"In the end, Hogan was a man who lifted wrestling to the heavens and stumbled in its shadows. As he once promised, “Hulkamania will live forever.” But on that July morning, the ring fell silent, and the world said goodbye to the Hulkster, a titan whose roar will echo for generations."
Hulk Hogan admitted to using steroids for an extended period, roughly 14 years, during his wrestling career in the 70s and 80s . He made this admission public during the 1994 trial of Vince McMahon where he testified under immunity.
You have no public persona, you are a nothing. And thus can wear a hat, a scarf, a helmet, or even an beenie if you wish. And nobody will ever know you, ever......
Hulk Hogan's character was his head scarf.......And every one knows him, not you.......
He drove his body hard and never knew when to quit.
Events don’t happen in threes; we just count them in threes.
You could have said the exact same thing, but without making the effort to be personally insulting.
But I guess that’s just what you like to do.
Do you like to be tickled?
Good times when the Hulk and the Hot Rod were at war with each other.
RIP to two wonderful men
Some people count to 21 but it is embarrassing to watch.
MANY athletes and others abused steroids and their body in search of higher performance.
But like a car engine revved constantly at the red line breakdown occurs sooner than expected.
RIP Hulk Hogan
I saw him interviewed last week and he looked like he aged 100 years......
I only brought that up because he was into steroid free body building.....
