    If anyone saw his last public appearance on wwe, the guy got booed out of the building. The wrestling fans turned on him, zapping away his powers of hulkamania. Sadly it was the only thing keeping him alive.

    On a side note, Jesse Ventura must be laughing his ass off right now

    The only thing I’m thankful for is that his last public appearance is getting Booed to high hell at WWE.

      I threw the trash over the ring and started eating garbage. Then I took the trashcan and bashed the guy in front of me

      It’s hours til lunchtime here, but I’m meeting an old friend for brunch. I’ve been having to watch my cholesterol recently, but I’ve decided that eating out doesn’t count - I am very much looking forward to it, sausages, bacon, and eggs will be involved.

      It’s almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you’re alive.

        I’ve never been a fan of Ozzy or Black Sabbath, but I can acknowledge that for fans of metal, he was an absolute God. Most long-term musical acts have ups and downs in popularity, but Ozzy became a superstar with their first album, and his INTERNATIONAL popularity never waned one bit to this day. Very impressive service to his fan base.

        I don’t really know all too much about ozzy to be honest. His movie was a big part of my life and i saw him live 3 times. From his private life i only known from what i saw in the handful of episodes of his reality show i saw back in the day and some snippets and fun facts.

        But it’s so funny to me that ozzy osbourne, the king of darkness, the person that uptight americans feared like the anti christ himself turned put to be the nice wholesome guy that people are really bummed out that he died.

        Meanwhile, mr. Say your prayers eat your vegetables, truth justice and the american way of life. Loved by every flag wearing brainwashed idiot, turned out to be a massive piece of shit, racist asshole and people just don’t care and piss on his grave.

    The only Hulk I’ll mourn is who I thought he was when I was a kid. I already lost that Hulk years ago though.

      I hear ya buddy. I idolised the ground he walked on when I knew nothing about the world except pizza, wrestling and school.

      It’s a real world heel turn young me never would have thought possible.

    Shame he’s gonna get lumped in with the other amazing celebrities we lost this week. Even in death, he can’t support solidarity and has to shit on other people’s hard work.

      That’s exactly what I thought when I read the news. He died just to try and steal attention from Ozzy, who actually deserved the attention.

    Good.

    He was a notoriously evil racist, was alleged to have commit almost ric flair levels of sexual assault over the years, and has an argument for singlehandedly killing the unionization of pro wrestling and leading to the modern “independent contractor” mess.

    Might have go go chug some gatorade and visit his grave.

      The high levels of sodium will make you retain the water. I suggest drinking lots of water, then chugging some coconut water and/or coffee. Let your feelings flow.

      He did get Gawker Media shut down, which should be a plus. But he used Peter Thiel’s money to do it, which muddies the waters a bit…

        “Hard cases make bad laws”

        Whatever one thinks of Gawker, its demise is a footnote next to the precedent it set in muzzling investigative journalism that discomfits the powerful.

          Haha, “investigative journalism that discomfits the powerful” doesn’t include publishing a sex tape that was taken without a person’s knowledge. Gawker got what was coming to it.

          Here’s a thought experiment: if it was Chyna who was secretly recorded having sex and had that published in 2012, would you be so dismissive of it?
