Rest in Peace, Terry Bollea aka The Immortal Hulk Hogan 🕊️💐
To millions of little kids you were a childhood hero - myself included.
In 1984, I gave you your “HULKSTER” headband back, in the locker room in Madison Square Garden - I was the lucky kid caught it when you threw it in the crowd. You were wrestling “Mr Wonderful”, Paul Orndorff that night in the main event. You were shocked and so happy after the match because you told me that was your very last headband and if it weren’t for me, you’d have no way of getting that exact one made again. You promised me that you would get more made and give me a Hulkster headband of my own as a thank you gift.
A month later in Madison Square Garden, you did just that. You kept your word, with a handshake and a “thanks kid”.
And that meant the world to that little 12 year old boy.
Just 17 years later, and still a kid at the age of 29 years old — I’m standing in the middle of the ring and facing you - one of my wrestling heroes in the main event of WRESTLEMANIA.
The match was to decide who would go down in history, as The Greatest of All Time.
When you kick out of my Rock Bottom finisher - just listen and FEEL that crowd go ELECTRIC…
all for you. I’ve never felt anything like that in my entire wrestling career. It takes two to tango, but that historic crowd reaction was all for you.
You may have “passed the torch” to me that night, but you, my friend….
… you “drew the house” meaning you sold out every arena and stadium across the country in your prime as Hulk Hogan, on your way of becoming the greatest of all time.
From deep in my bones, and on behalf of this wild and crazy world of professional wrestling that we love, I say to you now, and forever…
Thank you for the house, brother…
Thank you, for the house.
RIP Terry Bollea aka Hulk Hogan 🕊️

@benfowlkesMMA Just heard Mr Fowlkes is making a trip to Ireland surely a meetnup with @SeanSheehanBA for podcast or some sort of YouTube content is on the cards..obviously in Galway or Cork cos sean Sheehan most definitely won't go to Dublin🤣 @SevereMMA
This entire family was executed by russians in Bucha. They tried to escape. @OlafScholz@Bundeskanzler how are gas and oil prices in Germany - not too high yet???
@TheOvalPawffice Sadly, our furiends in #Ukraine are war victims too. They get lost in the chaos, run away from explosions and shelling, sometimes get abandoned. This lovely doggo walks from car to car along the road, sniffing out his humans, whom he somehow lost😭💔

Ammy Debut and a similar style KO in his UFC debut. I knew I was calling something special prior to this bout on the insight from his then coach Chris Fields. How I would have loved Team KF cage side for this. Hopefully, that is what the future holds.
Can't wait to see @iangarryMMA make his UFC debut..the next big thing out of Ireland been blessed to watch his cage warriors career The Future is Bright 🇮🇪🏆👊
