Ain't no way this is how I found out

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 92 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No fuckin way Hogan died? Rest is piss you massive disappointment

[–] Darth_Lemmy@lemmy.zip 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

(straight to) hell, yea brothuur

I usually find out stuff like this too.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 49 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i found out about Queen Elizabeth by meme, so i guess that's the standard now

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I found out henry kissinger died from the same meme format as the OP

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Our people tell the same story

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

At least it wasn't Castiel this time.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I'd be pissed if I'd found out about Ozzy this way, but Hulk Hogan? IDK, it seems appropriate

[–] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 7 points 3 months ago

Yep. Only pissed it didn’t happen sooner.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

I definitely found out about Ozzy from the same meme format

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 136 points 3 months ago (1 children)

TBH getting Hulk Hogan was real fucking close to Trump.

I wish he died sooner.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 59 points 3 months ago

I was never into wresting, and never followed Hulk Hogan. Today I am learning about what a piece of trash he was.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 105 points 3 months ago (3 children)

My friend posted this online comment that summed it up perfectly.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 months ago (3 children)

What transgressions? Can't say I'm particularly informed beyond knowing who he was.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 65 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

He was a hateful white supremacist. Other wrestlers, such as Iron Sheik, have been telling people how much of a dirt bag Hogan was since the 80s. People just thought it was part of the act tho.

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

"it's just the beer talking" made Bolea talk about beating up a female politician

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 months ago

If I remember corrected he was a right cunt when his son went drunk driving, crashing and killing his friend in the passenger seat.

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

Perfect summary. Absolutely nailed it.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I was at Rock vs Hogan, skydome. Biggest crowd in Toronto indoor history, the entire Skydome was shaking. I and many others went in there to boo hogan but couldn’t help but cheer him on during that match. Epic. Go watch the crowd during that match, 80,000 going apeshit

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 56 points 3 months ago (2 children)

This being so soon after Ozzy died, and Ozzy being 76 makes me feel like Hogan was like "check this out, brother! Imma live longer than Ozzy Osbourne!" And then just immediately died.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 18 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Considering Ozzy was a drug-fueled rockstar for decades who bit the head off a live bat and Hogan was marginally fit for all those years give or take some roids, I think Ozzy deserves at least several years of handicap.

[–] Doomsider@lemmy.world 28 points 3 months ago (2 children)

If you think taking steroids and working out to the point of causing massive scar tissue in your muscles is good for you, then I have a bridge to sell you.

[–] CptOblivius@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

He was no stranger to drugs and alcohol either.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 7 points 3 months ago

Don't forget the lifestyle of being hit with a steel chair doesn't do wonders for aging gracefully

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 42 points 3 months ago

Rest in piss Terry.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 40 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Has death considered a GoFundMe, or maybe streaming on Twitch?

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Oh that's one channel id subscribe to.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago
[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 3 months ago

One less bigot in the world.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 34 points 3 months ago (3 children)

This is not how I imagined i'd find out about his death...

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Were you expecting a knock on the door?

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 months ago

I was expecting to see it from a news article, rather than a meme.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

yeah i thought it'd be with a free beer

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 3 months ago
[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

Roll again grim reaper…

The wrestling fans turned on hogan, zapping him of his powers of hulkamania. I heard he shriveled like the dude in Indiana jones and the last crusade and turned to dust

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 3 points 3 months ago

remember they couldn't have beaten chuck norris without him
