Hulk Hogan is dead at 71

"THANK YOU, GOD!!"

I just saw it on Twitter/X too

Obligatory. RIP.

Not the most flattering thing to say about myself but watching Hulk Hogan rip open his shirts was part of my sexual awakening.

I could’ve sworn he was dead already.

Bye, you fugly racist white trash POS.

SATAN keeps taking the wrong one ...

Heart attack. Steroids usage strikes again.

Good.

Man, I was thinking it was a pretty uneventful year for celebrity deaths. They've been dropping like flies recently.

Heart attack, you say? Now those rabid MAGAt anti-vaxxers will be out in force in the comment sections.

Lmao. Good.

Too bad it wasn’t a murder-suicide and he took out his whore daughter and loser murderer son.

71 is actually kinda long lived for a pro wrestler. They all have a 'roid abuse history and the physiological damage doesn't fully reverse even if you stop. I like John Cena but he's a ticking time bomb as well for same reason.

Good riddance.

Welp, they're dropping like Lauren Bobert's undies within a few hours of meeting Kid Rock.

Rest in hell Brother!

Hmm...Ozzy and Hulk both had reality TV shows, and both were in their 70s. You know what would be the funniest thing?

Save Cheetoh a seat.

The tiny-dicked asshole killed Gawker.

I saw him lumber past me in ORD about 20 years ago, he looked dead then ffs! The air of arrogance was startling.

Boy people are dropping like flies this year. We can only hope for certain orange people.

Is it too much to ask that a certain current POTUS is included in the celebrity death group of 3?

I think you mean minutes, not hours R15

connie francis, malcolmn jamal warner, ozzy osbourne, and now hulk hogan.

So this kicks off another 3 celebrity deaths, right?

🙏 for Donald.

From R17's mouth to God's ear, brother!

rip big italian dick, look at the ppl. this was a few years ago when his son got in trouble with police and they released police body cam, I noticed the big d. no it isn't photoshopped the video is online.

Poor Anne Burrell.

Oh, nooo... I was told "Racist reality TV star in his 70s"...

DLers like R27 inspecting bodycam videos for VPL like it's the Zapruder Film. 🤣🤣🤣 It's why I love this place.

He did NOT have a big sausage. We've all seen it years ago. Plus, look at the lack of bulge during his wrestling days.

He got out in time as it's very likely Hulkster is a listing on the Visitors Log at Epstein Island.

Hulk Hogan-sizemeat or not could be another DL flame war for the history books.

I think the whole reason he sued the hell out of Gawker was because they showed his peanut.

Like R31 said, DL (and the rest of the internet) was underwhelmed by his sex tape.

r31, yes he had a big sausage. this is the other screenshot I saved to my computer in 2023, LMFAO. I have zoomed in on his yellow speedo wrestling photos and agree with your scientific conclusions that it looked like he was masquerading as Princess Tiny Meat, but these exclusive snaps prove he had a 6 inch flaccid cannoli.

thank you r30, I won't change

If that photo was taken in the middle of the night then it's probably Viagra.

2009 had a lot of celebrity deaths. There was even a South Park episode about it. Maybe 2025 will be a repeat of 2009?

Respect yourself.

He was an asshole

Speaking of elderly celebs on the verge of death…

Gawker is laughing its ass off today!

I miss Gawker.

Good. Can Trump be next, please?

Jimmy Swaggart, Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osborne? Can we have a national month of mourning??

We’re getting warmer . . . .

THANK YOU R12-I wanted to post that but my co-worker thought it was mean.

I’m shocked. He always looked so healthy.

Gross microwave hotdog looking ass

[quote] Boy people are dropping like flies this year.

As opposed to every other year when almost no one died.

I had heard his dick was huge from viewers of the sex tape. I never watched it. Supposedly his friend’s wife was complaining about how big it was—like a thermos.

[quote] Hmm...Ozzy and Hulk both had reality TV shows, and both were in their 70s. You know what would be the funniest thing?

If Martin and Lewis got back together?

He was a huge dick as a person but Jamie Lee Curtis' clit is bigger than his cashew. Stop spreading lies about this.

Everything Trump touches dies.

[quote]Hogan is survived by his third wife **Sky Daily**

Sky Daily

Where would you even FIND a Sky Daily?

R52 Here's the sex tape. It wasn't small, but I wouldn't call it a wonder of the penis world, either.

One less MAGAt to answer.

One less egg to fry.

It was the vax!

“ Everything Trump touches dies.”

Good

He totally destroyed his image and brand going full MAGA the past few years for $$$.

I watched his reality show and he actually came off pretty cool - as was the rest of his family (except his douchebag son). That was pre-divorce, pre-scandal, etc.

71 is really young nowadays - particularly for someone with considerable wealth.

I feel like he spiraled downward after his wife left him and his kids grew up.

[quote]He totally destroyed his image and brand going full MAGA the past few years for $$$

He didn't have to be persuaded, he was a true believer whose racist rant in 2007 was an early slip of the mask.

He entertained a lot of people during his prime. He was also a racist. And so it goes.

Died before his Kennedy Center Honors award.

He came off well at the scene of his son's DUI arrest.

thank you r57 for doing the lord's work, I thought he had that removed

I'm a size queen and that is 8-9 inches long.

Susan Dey is on summer holiday. So, no comment.

As I have posted before, when the inevitable happens & Miss Dey is called to her reward in heaven, radio silence would be the most fitting way to mark the occasion here.

R68, do shrieks count as radio silence at the DL? I dread to think of the state of this place the day Susan shuffles off this mortal coil.

I can't believe he was only 71. I thought for sure he was close to 80.

It's hard to see clearly, but he looks like he's hanging pretty massively here. Any DLers with good photo editing skills who can lighten up and clarify this pic?

No, R69/Miss Dey. We ran out when Di passed.

His greatest suplex was taking out Gawker with his (non-sexual) tag-team partner Peter Thiel.

I guess now we'll never see The Hulkster as Willy Loman in Death of a Salesman at The Kennedy Center

[quote]71 is really young nowadays

Not for a wrestler, though.

r71 I tried but it's too blurry even when I lightened the photo.

R76 Well, thanks for trying.

So sad. Just think what he could have accomplished if only he had lived.

The Susan dey comments aren't funny. Please stop.

Sad. What should I have for dessert tonight?

Racist...

Why I'll Never Stop Thinking R79 is a Tight-Assed Bitch.

I really don't care, do you?

He was a fraud, so no big deal. Anti-union, a flagrant opportunist and MAGA.

Such a class act.
