They say it comes in threes: first Malcom Jamal Warner (Theo on Cosby Show), then Ozzy Osbourne, now Hulk Hogan

 

I am not superstitious at all, but I confess that having previously heard that superstition, when Malcom died, I immediately wondered if it was the start of another trio of celebrity deaths in a short time span.  There could yet be more, of course, but I'm not wishing that on anyone.

Damn. I guess we're all out of the 50s, 60s and 70s celebs and stars for the most part. Now we're getting into the 80s and hitting the childhoods of kids who grew up in that era with the heartbreak. (I consider myself partially a child of the 80s. I sort of straddle the line. Graduated High School in 84. So really - my childhood was mid 70s through mid 80s.)

The Hulkster came to prominence in the 80s. I've never been into wrestling. But even I know the really big names. And he was the BIGGEST. The LOUDEST. And the MOST AMERICAN. 

 

Even a non-fan of wrestling like me couldn't help but notice the larger than life persona. How perfectly over-the-top Hulk Hogan was. It was a style. A mood. The 80s was the loudest, most over-the-top decade of America. And Hulk Hogan was one of the LOUDEST parts of it all. And one of the most American and Patriotic. That almost seems out of place these days. And it's sad that it should be so. 

First the Prince of Darkness - Ozzy Osbourne. Now Hulk Hogan. And Malcolm Jamal Warner earlier. This has been a week of heartbreak. 

I too have heard this stuff comes in threes. Are we done with this for at least the next month or so?

I used to be a Hulkamaniac back in the day. Then we found out how he had a lot of...warts...and he became one of the more disliked wrestling personalities over the last little while. 

 

He was the Imperfect Hulk Hogan. He was a big part of my childhood. I'll always fondly remember those days. RIP.

The character of Hulk Hogan wasn't the problem it was the man behind the character.   

 

I seem to remember someone once saying something about casting stones....
