RIP Hulkie.
As controversial, egostical and self-centered as he was, and for how much he damaged his own legacy due to his backstage politics moves, his refusals to put other wrestlers and promotions over, and his behind the scenes actions and declarations; Hulk Hogan remains an icon of wrestling who revolutionized the entire industy and without which wrestling wouldn't be in the mainstream position it is today, and kickstarted the two greatest booms in wrestling history with Hulkmania in the WWF during the Golden era and with the NWO in WCW in the 1990s.
