Wow. Super sad times

I guess TMZ wasn’t kidding that he was in bad health after heart surgery

Yes it is a feeding frenzy on eBay.

I just sold a HH card that has been listed without a bite on ebay for 4 years.

It's a weird thing when your childhood heroes start passing away. In my mind, these guys are invincible. I was 8 when Wrestlemania III happened - the Hulkster was like Superman to me.

I lived in MI when Wrestlemania 3 was held at the Silverdome. That hype got every kid in my age group into the WWF. We used to backyard wrestle and I’m still surprised no one broke their neck

When I was much older I cheered for him again in his lawsuit against Gawker Media. I love the fact he brought that scummy website down.

RIP Brother!

My second date with my current wife was to watch Hulk Hogan defend his title against Randy Savage at the Sports Arena in Los Angeles. The arena was sold out and when Hogan entered the ring I have never heard so much noise in my life and I have been to well over a hundred sporting events.

Andre the Giant and my favorite, Roddy Piper, were also on the card. I rooted again Hogan pretty much every match but there's no denying how great he was. He is the Babe Ruth of wrestling and he is the main reason for Wrestling taking off the way it did.

He was even great as thunderlips in Rocky lll

This!
I told my wife today that between Ozzy and the Hulkster I feel like my childhood has been decimated this week. :'(

Dudes, read the room...

Please don’t lecture me. I posted my tribute already.

Observing fans buying cards after the death of a star is not some disrespectful act. It shows you how much fans will miss him.

You should get on your high horse and email the people running the Ozzy auction a day after his death.

Hulk was certainly iconic and he paved the way for others in the sport... but he also undercut a unionization effort in the WWE and stabbed his fellow wrestlers in the backs just to keep his spot at the top. There's a lot of people who came to despise him.

Definitely a good time to list HH items on eBay as many people only remember a person's impact when they die. Selling or Buying memorabilia when someone passes doesn't seem like a problem worth much consideration. In the end (pun intended), death provides a perspective that life cannot.

Not your post, but I was referring to those bragging about making sales the day of Hulks death.
