I, Hulk...Hogan, have a question...to answer your question. As you, Hulk Hogan, travel to...WRESTLEMANIA...by conventional means, the normals you travel with experience malfunctions. As you realize ALL THAT IS LEFT is total self-destruction, do you, Hulk Hogan, show self-pity? DO YOU, Hulk Hogan, try to reason why? Do you, Hulk Hogan, try and comfort the normals that have even more fear than you?

Or do you, Hulk Hogan, kick the doors out? Kick the cockpit door down. Take the two pilots that have already made the sacrifice so that you can face the challenge. Dispose of them, Hulk Hogan. Assume the controls, Hulk Hogan. SHOVE THAT CONTROL INTO A NOSEDIVE, HULK HOGAN! Push yourself to total self-dstruction. As you realize, Hulk Hogan, you are about to enter a world close to Parts Unknown. Ah, smell it, warriors. Do you, Hulk Hogan, look for a place to hide? Or do you, Hulk Hogan, face the challenge that may be more powerful than EVEN YOU ARE, HULK HOGAN!

You, Hulk Hogan, must self-destruct so that you will know, Hulk Hogan, who is...The Chose One. FOR HULK HOGAN, I am not the Chosen One...that you speak of. I am not. I, Hulk Hogan, am...the only...one...


None of his promos made a bit of sense, he wasn't a good wrestler but he had an aura about him. I was a big fan as a kid. The matches against Rick Rude, Hogan, and Macho Man (especially that one) are classics. Glad he got to go into the Hall of Fame over the weekend and have one last time to be in front of fans

I watched Wrestlemania this weekend, because I'm old and look longingly back to when I was younger all the time these days.

It's horrible anytime anyone dies, he leaves a family behind and that's tragic. However, he gave himself an awesome eulogy for his HoF introduction. He was a bad wrestler, had very little coherence on the mic (to Aaron's points), but, damn, the man was an entertainer. I always hated the purists in wrestling who always said it should always be about the wrestling. Screw them, I watched wrestling to smile and/or be entertained. Ultimate Warrior was a home run on both.
