The Pro Wrasslin' Thread (WWE, WWF, WCW, TNA, ROH, NWA, NJPW, etc)

The character "Hulk Hogan" was great in general, my favorite incarnation was Hollywood Hogan, cause I started watching wrestling starting with WCW in the late 1990s and just loved the NWO (never watched WWF during the 1990s).

Wasnt too much of a fan when he was a face in WWE and didnt watch his pre-WCW WWF footage until years later but clips- I should watch some of the older stuff on that era on Netflix sometime in the future so I can see the feuds and matches he had.

I started watching WWE when the NWO arrived on RAW.

As for the real life persona, totally pushed me away, hated the reality tv show, the racism, what he did to other wrestlers, etc

TL:DR - His legacy basically comes down to this:
Hulk Hogan, the wrestler - The biggest icon, legend, and pioneer in the history of wrestling who did more than anyone in history to shape it into what it is today. And his impact is undeniable and will *ahem* live forever. And he absolutely deserves his respect and flowers for that.
Terry Bollea, the person - Vile, despicable, piece of shit human being whom the world is better off without.

Pretty much.
