Hulk Hogan RIP

Hulk Hogan died yesterday. Legacy.com said this about his life:

Terry Bollea, better known to millions of fans as Hulk Hogan, a wrestling superstar and pop culture icon who in the 1980s helped start the modern wrestling boom, died July 24, 2025, of cardiac arrest in Clearwater, Florida at the age of 71.

Hogan’s rise in the 1980s did more than simply make him the top star of the World Wrestling Federation (now known as the WWE). It also made him an All-American icon who came to represent what were seen as American values. He’d later experience ups and downs as a public figure, once his life outside the wrestling ring began to draw more attention than his persona as a popular entertainer, but for a time he was seen as a role model for millions.

Along with his work in the squared circle, Hogan became known for his colorful catchphrases. For an entire generation of fans, “Say your prayers and eat your vitamins” and “Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you” created a template for how to tackle life.

They also said a lot more, but you can read that for yourself at Legacy.com if you feel the need to.
