i dont think a meme is going to be the make/break with one of the most famous perosnas in all of modern media history dude. youre better off prostesting his torn yellow shirt being in a glass case at your local hard rock cafe
hahaa… listen I didnt say I like the guy. I also was careful to say “modern media history”, not like ‘world history’.
lol I think you’re lumping him in with other gross old trashy blonde guys with shit eater mustaches that look like him
but seriously just to say- respectfully, like the majority of people living in a country with a robust global pop culture would know who he is. he was THE GUY in the 80s. Iconoclastic- like essentially every living person over 25 in Japan, Australia, Ireland, Mexico, Finland etc will likey know who Hulk Hogan is if you show them a photo of him tearing that hulkamania shirt off of his oily leathery body in the WWF ring… he’s possibly the most famous pro wrestler of all time.
Dog the Bounty Hunter? I just really don’t think so.
I am also Gen X, and the fact that I remember Sgt Slaughter and the Iron Sheik doesn’t make them historically relevant. My point is that none of them are. John Glenn. JFK. Barack Obama. Donald Fucking Trump. Maggie Thatcher. Muhammad Ali. Mike Tyson. Michael Jordan. Madonna. Bowie. Elton. Michael Jackson.
Those are the kinds of people who are historical figures. Hulk Hogan will be forgotten. He’s nowhere in the league of those kinds of people. He’s at best a D-list celebrity whose next headline will probably be his obit, after which no one other than fans of the 1980s wwf will remember him, and there’s going to be fewer of them every year.
Right, no doubt, but still totally irrelevant to the fact that if you’re of a certain age, Hulk Hogan is way more famous than the Tiger King guy and Dog The Bounty Hunter.
I’m not here to defend his historical significance; that’s something you brought in and has nothing to do with my position.
So was Ronald Reagan, Madonna, Bob Sagat, John Elway, Eddie Murphy and hundreds of other people I won’t bother listing that were more significant than some pro wrestler.

You might need to expand your horizons. On the historical scale he ranks just above Dog the Bounty Hunter and below Tiger King.

It probably depends on your age. To people my age (gen x) he’s definitely more famous than either of those guys. He was all over the place in the 80s.

I’m not arguing that he was more significant, just that he was pretty fucking famous. What part about this do you not understand?
Most famous personas 🤣🤣🤣
