Ain't no way this is how I found out

[–] shittydwarf@sh.itjust.works 97 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Darth_Lemmy@lemmy.zip 51 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

(straight to) hell, yea brothuur

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 61 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I usually find out stuff like this too.

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 51 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemmy.zip 21 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Our people tell the same story

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

At least it wasn't Castiel this time.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 21 points 2 days 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 2 days ago

Yep. Only pissed it didn’t happen sooner.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

I definitely found out about Ozzy from the same meme format

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 109 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 65 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 3 points 2 days ago

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

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 40 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days ago

Perfect summary. Absolutely nailed it.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 138 points 3 days ago (1 children)

TBH getting Hulk Hogan was real fucking close to Trump.

I wish he died sooner.

[–] Washedupcynic@lemmy.ca 62 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 60 points 2 days 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 21 points 2 days 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 2 days 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 2 days ago

He was no stranger to drugs and alcohol either.

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 35 points 2 days ago (3 children)

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

yeah i thought it'd be with a free beer

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Were you expecting a knock on the door?

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] oppy1984@lemdro.id 2 points 2 days ago
[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 44 points 3 days ago

Rest in piss Terry.

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

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

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Oh that's one channel id subscribe to.

One less bigot in the world.

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

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago

Roll again grim reaper…

[–] Sagan_Wept@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 2 days ago

Fuck'em, scab cunt

[–] halvar@lemy.lol 3 points 2 days ago

remember they couldn't have beaten chuck norris without him
