Ain't no way this is how I found out

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

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

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

(straight to) hell, yea brothuur

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I usually find out stuff like this too.

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

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

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

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

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Our people tell the same story

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

At least it wasn't Castiel this time.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Yep. Only pissed it didn’t happen sooner.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 week ago

I definitely found out about Ozzy from the same meme format

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

TBH getting Hulk Hogan was real fucking close to Trump.

I wish he died sooner.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 65 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week ago

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

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

That and he sabotaged Jesse Ventura's attempt to unionize wrestling to get more money for himself. Given how incredibly abusive the company is to its performers, that's not a small thing.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Perfect summary. Absolutely nailed it.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week 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 1 week ago

He was no stranger to drugs and alcohol either.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

Rest in piss Terry.

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Oh that's one channel id subscribe to.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 38 points 1 week ago
[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 37 points 1 week ago

One less bigot in the world.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 34 points 1 week ago (3 children)

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

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

Were you expecting a knock on the door?

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

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

yeah i thought it'd be with a free beer

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week 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

remember they couldn't have beaten chuck norris without him
