If the greatest Wrestler of all time is a horrible person Wrestling has horrible representation. Maybe its time to prop up someone else as the face of Wrestling.

Stuff like this, Benoit literally killed a woman and child. Benoit vs. Jimmy Snuka would be appropriate but Hogan's not on the level (he actually helped save someone's life last year).

Like I said, the board would get testy about it, so no comment. It's particular people though, obviously; making the comment about groups of people makes no sense since morality is judged on an individual basis.

Unless you are someone that thinks lbgtq+ are going to hell, or anyone that doesnt believe in God etc. which is why I asked.

Why are you so defensive of Hogan though?

Well those would be reprehensible things to think.

Mainly just because I think there's a sort of bias where people weigh public statements more heavily against someone than private actions. Like how AEW had Hogan banned for life due to his leaked racist tirade and weak apology, yet let Tyson in despite him being a convicted rapist and his similarly weak apology for it. I just never really understood that type of moral dissonance. But others have explained that levels of repentance and/or just time passed since similar behavior are also a factor.

In that case Id be more likely to wish Tyson was treated more like Hogan than the other way around.

Yeah I dont like Tyson either, but thats like measuring turds. I dont understand getting upset because people are reacting appropriately to a bad person dying honestly. Tyson has nothing to do with Hogan.

Ngl Hogan was my favorite wrestler as a pre-teen. WCW era shit. Him, Sting, Kevin Nash, HBK. Good shit. Sucks he turned out to be a piece of shit. Or that I grew up and found out he's always been a piece of shit.

A guy I know had this to say.

A year ago, I mightve stood here and said, Damn. Hulk Hogan? Thats a piece of my childhood gone.
I wouldve remembered the red and yellow. The flexing. The pyro. The theme song:
I am a real American blaring through the speakers like it meant something.
And maybe back then it did.

I remember being on the bus coming home from school, knowing I had recorded the pay-per-view
WrestleMania VI.
Hulk Hogan vs. The Ultimate Warrior.
Title for title. The Intercontinental Championship and the WWF Championship on the line.
I made it the whole day without hearing who won. Heart pounding. VHS tape waiting. Childhood peaking.

And then one annoying dickhead on the bus yells:
All right, Ultimate Warrior!
Just like that spoiler delivered. Magic gone.

Still, I ran home and watched it. Because that night, wrestling was myth.
The battle of titans. The passing of the torch.
And lets be honest Ultimate Warrior was my guy.
That face paint. That chaos.
That guitar riff shredding into your soul like a war cry.
But he, too, turned out to be a right-wing fuck in the end.

So its not just that these icons are dying.
Its that theyre dying after showing us exactly who they were.
And most of them?
Were never heroes. Just performers we projected better things onto.

That version of Hogan the childhood idol died long before July 24, 2025.
What remained was a man who picked his final gimmick.
And he picked MAGA.

He didnt just lean into it. He wrapped himself in it.
He became a walking talking promo reel for Trumpism.
He wasnt cutting babyface promos for the people anymore he was backstage with the worst of them.
Trump called him MAGA all the way in his death statement.
Thats what stuck.
Not the leg drops. Not the Hulkamania.
Not even the 1-2-3.

So no Im not mourning Terry Bollea.
Im mourning the fact that we ever thought he was something more.

I mourn the memory. I mourn what he couldve represented unity, resilience, hope.
But I wont mourn the man who chose the wrong entrance music when it counted.
Because instead of going out as a real American hero
He just went out as another washed-up heel.

One more megaphone silenced.
One more idol unmasked.
And for that?

No tears. No tribute. Just the bell. One. Two. Three. Shoulders down. Career over.
Rest however history lets you, brother.

...Well.

Pro wrestling is(or 'used to be', don't really follow wrestling these days) a world of kayfabe. So, I don't really see the wrestling personas and the actual person behind them as the same.

Hulk Hogan is a character of the past. I liked him a lot. But he got old, and after his Wrestlemania match with Vince and the ridiculous 'Mr. America' gimmick that was pushed for some months afterwards, he was no longer relevant to my entertainment. What he did and his matches in the past are great memories, but again, to me, 'Hulk Hogan' has been dead for a long time already, just like many other retired wrestlers. This news has no bearing on that, or me, whatsoever. I'm not mourning a character that died long ago.

The person Terry Bollea has been revealed through several sources and anecdotes to have been, to put very lightly, a terrible person. While I am not rejoicing about his death, I am not going to mourn him either. The only reaction I have for his death is the word "...Meh." and this post I'm writing, and I will likely forget about it completely in the next two days.

PS. Might have been mentioned, but Ric Flair actually outlived the guy. Didn't expect that.

PPS. The only real thing that gives me pause is that the guy was the same age as my dad. Him dying made me, for a short while, think of my own dad's mortality, and I really don't like that. :(

They were our superheroes. Kids today have plenty of their own. Sure, it doesn't feel the same to us - it's not "magical like it used to be," or whatever - but we're not their target audience anymore.

Well Smackdown's on and nobody's booing.

While he was a scummy dude on a personal, political, and professional level, he still made immense contributions to pro wrestling as an industry and a was a role model for tons of people when they were growing up. There's a whole televised character to celebrate before getting into the actual person behind it.
