Hulkamania’s brightest star has gone out. Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan passed away Thursday at age 71 after suffering a heart attack at his Florida home. The real-life American patriot shaped professional wrestling into a global spectacle during the 1980s, embodying what it means to chase greatness through hard work and grit.
This son of a welder turned mustache-rocking hero proved success comes from earnin’ it. Hogan body-slammed giants, outraised Hulkamaniacs, and became the face of WWE when bureaucratic red tape hadn’t choked creativity. His legacy isn’t just body slams – it’s about standing tall for freedom and individual achievement.
Conservatives honor Hogan’s fight against attacks on privacy. When Gawker tried to shame him with a sex tape leak, he stood his ground. A $115 million court victory showed there’s still justice for those hurt by elitist media’s poisonous anti-American dumpster diving.
Even in death, Hogan’s spirit made #HulkHagen trend. VP JD Vance called him a “great American icon” and recalled promises to meet for beers – now their toast will wait until eternity. Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna praised his RNC entrance waving the Stars and Stripes, calling him a neighbor who made Hulkamania run wild forever.
Charlotte Flair remembered Hogan’s quiet kindness when her wrestling family nearly lost its patriarch. “He was there,” she wrote, “not for fame, but because that’s what real champions do for others.” In a world of fake outrage, Hogan stayed real.
Hulkster’s legacy isn’t just muscles – it’s about never selling out. Unlike modern woke warriors pretending to love America, he shouted “What’cha gonna do!” while waving Old Glory. His reality show let fans see a genuine dad with flaws, not sanitized Hollywood nonsense.
Pete Hegseth’s Defense Department summed it up best – a simple R.I.P. with Hogan’s photo holding a flag. No virtue signaling, no apologies, no bs. That’s how real Americans honor icons who matter.
From ’80s mat battles to fighting backrooms, Hogan taught us to always stand. While elites try to erase our culture, Hulkamania remains alive in every patriot refusing to back down. Rest easy, brother – your bandana’s flying high.
