Hulk Hogan, Trump idol and enemy of the free press, dead at 71 An anti-eulogy by Josephine Riesman

NEW — The Handbasket’s anti-eulogy for Hulk Hogan written by the amazing @josie.zone.

“To use the parlance of Gawker—the news outlet Hogan helped destroy with the assistance of a neofascist billionaire—And now he’s dead.”

Read it here:

my take on the new South Park episode: you can very easily read it as a sober reflection on how their entire brand of humor is now completely obsolete and their personal complicity in allowing this to happen

Remember when I said people in the aew front office are probably celebrating lol

I kinda want a special edition of Zeroes that’s a compilation of all the Hogan matches you’ve covered so far.

Reminder this woman covered up pedophilia at work for years

It is important to know Hogan wrestled *far* below his actual ability to wrestle and almost always made his opponents do more work than they should have had to do in order to keep the crowd entertained. I've seen his early Japanese work and Hogan could absolutely go if he wanted to. He just didn't.

Remember when some kids froze to death in Texas due to the privatization of electricity.

You might want to start thinking about if you could die if the power went out.

I wouldn't freeze to death, but heat stroke?

Hogan telling everyone around him in hell that he had six simultaneous heart attacks in front of 200,000 fans at the Superdome, and lived to be 106

This was not how I expected to learn that Bill Rose retired. That's wild. What a legendary career working on this game that we all love.

It was realizing he would be reviled that made Nobel decide to do something good.

Third, other powerful people see this. Never think that they aren't aware of how much they are hated, and don't know that celebrations and joy await their deaths. Look at their obsession with immortality, with legend.

They know they are hated, and when we shame the dead, we shame them, too.
(5/5)

It also serves, for those looking back later, as a corrective and antidote to those hagiographies and celebrations being now written by a mainstream press that knows only adulation for power and worship for it's exercise, in any form, no matter how repugnant. We are part of history's voice.

(4/?)

Second, it immediately establishes, for the historical record, that this powerful person was hated in their own time. It makes it clear that we KNEW what kind of a villain they were, and that those who take part in the official hagiography now being constructed did so knowingly.

(3/?)

Firstly, It is a celebration and outpouring of joy. We are here, and he is not.

It is an affirmation that everyone, together, survived the evil whose passing we now cheer. I think rituals like these are important, and I think seizing these tiny, feral joys helps us survive fascism.

(2/?)

Joking about crab rave aside, I do think this public outpouring of disgust at the death of hated villains is a powerful, useful thing. I think it's good that we do it, and I think, broadly, that it serves three functions.

(1/?)

it's never been about antisemitism

You can make a very good argument that no single wrestler was as detrimental to the business of pro wrestling as Hulk Hogan. He killed WCW. He killed the only successful version of TNA. He ruined careers by not doing any jobs. Even ignoring all the non-wrestling stuff, he was still a huge pos.

The biggest myth in the history of pro wrestling is that Hulk Hogan & Vince McMahon made it more popular. They made *WWF* more popular, but pro wrestling nationwide through all the territories (Dallas, Mid-South, Crockett, AWA, etc) was drawing 5x the total number of fans in 1983 compared to 1988.

Exclusive look at Hulk Hogan’s funeral plans

5 guys in a zencastr meeting: we got Brennan Lee Mulligan, Mike Migdall, Eleni Sauvageau, Gannon Reedy, Casey Toney. Smiling, triumphant expressions. Text reads: BRENNAN LEE MULLIGAN + GUTTER COMING SOON

: )

Monstro TerryHog struggles to rip open his shirt after abusing the Substance. He is almost as disgusting as the real Hulk Hogan’s soul

“Uhhh, there may have been a slight, so-called ‘misuse’ of The Sizzubstance, brother”

I truly can’t think of anybody who more perfectly personified the adage that the best way to avoid being treated poorly upon your death is to have not spent a life treating everyone else poorly

Wow they always go in threes: Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Ozzy Osbourne, and Chuck Mangione and absolutely no one else

It's important that people understand that *this* is Hogan's true legacy in wrestling.

Not Hulkamania, not NWO, not even his ceaseless backstage politicking...

It's the broken bodies and spirits of multiple generations of wrestlers who were denied any sort of support, post retirement...

How many black wrestlers does wwe make speak lovingly about hogan

It's a tragedy that Hulk lived to his 70s while Chyna died in her 40s

A dead shithead is still a shithead. Death conveys no honor
