Rest in Power, Hulk Hogan: The End of an Era

“Whatcha gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on you?!”

Damn.

Hulk Hogan just died.
And honestly, it feels like the end of a generation.

Whether you were a full-on Hulkamaniac or just caught him in memes and clips, you knew the man.
He was loud. He was larger than life. He was wrestling.

💪 The Icon That Defined a Culture

Hulk Hogan — born Terry Gene Bollea — didn’t just dominate the ring. He changed the game. He dragged pro wrestling into the mainstream and body-slammed it into global pop culture.

From WrestleMania main events to Saturday morning cartoons, from Thunderlips in Rocky III to dropping the leg on Randy Savage and forming the nWo, Hogan wasn’t just a character. He was the character.

“Say your prayers, take your vitamins, and you will never go wrong, brother.” – Hogan

The Hulkamania Era

Red and yellow.
Ripped shirts.
Real American theme music.
The crowd going absolutely f*cking wild every time he cupped his ear.

Watch:

The Heel Turn Heard ‘Round the World

1996. WCW. Bash at the Beach.

The crowd thought Hogan was coming in to save the day. Instead, he dropped a leg on Savage and flipped the script. Overnight, he went from America’s superhero to the baddest villain in the business.

And it f*cking worked.

The nWo era was chaos, cool, and pure attitude.
Hogan reinvented himself — and the industry followed.

“You can call this the new world order of wrestling, brother.” – Hollywood Hogan

Legacy, Flaws, and Real Talk

Was he perfect? Hell no.
There were scandals, lawsuits, leaked tapes, and a whole mess of stuff that reminded us that behind the legend was a flawed, real dude.

But let’s be honest — every icon has their shadows. And even with all that, Hulk Hogan is still one of the most influential figures in entertainment history.

He made wrestling what it is today. No Cena, no Rock, no Austin, no Roman, without Hogan first laying the damn blueprint.

Remembering the Madness

Here are a few legendary Hogan moments you might want to revisit:

Rest Easy, Legend

Hulk Hogan gave us moments.
He gave us memories.
He gave us madness.
And he gave us an era of entertainment that was too loud, too colorful, and too unforgettable to ignore.

“To all my Hulkamaniacs: I love you, man.” – Hulk Hogan

Rest in power, Hulk Hogan.
Thanks for the chaos. Thanks for the magic.
Wrestling — and the world — won’t be the same without you.
