    Usually comes in threes. Hope the years of taking steroids didn’t catch up with the Hulkster.

    HH, born Terry Bollea, was a guitarist in a small band that played in a bowling alley. He was skinny and not some stud guy. Dont recall who introduced him to rasslin. He was funny, had issues, but seemed to get straight later in life (as we should). Read he had a heart attack at home in Clearwater.

    Personally I remember him for being a good entertainer. I don't usually worry too much about entertainers personal lives unless it impacts me personally. Plus I never watched enough E! Entertainment Television to know much about his feelings on his daughters dating pool

    Totally age dependent. For me, will always be the WWF Hulk backstroking out of the Mean Gene hit.

    He was everything but mostly he was just entertaining which is all he ever wanted to be. I lost another piece of my childhood with his passing today.

    For sure the times prior to NWO. Dude skyrocketed wrestling like no other. His interviews with Macho Man when they started teaming up are pure gold. I don’t care who his daughter dates.
