The wrestling world stands still today, mourning the loss of the immortal Hulk Hogan. But on this special episode of Wrestling Uncensored, we weren’t just mourning a wrestler; we were remembering the man who changed the entire business—not once, but twice. Dave Simon and Johnny North paid a heartfelt tribute to the legend, making one truth crystal clear: there will never be another Hulk Hogan. This wasn’t just a man who sold tickets; he was the reason the tickets were printed in the first place. He was the Babe Ruth of professional wrestling, a cultural phenomenon who transcended the ring to open doors for every superstar who followed. From the glorious heights of Hulkamania to his shocking heel turn that sparked the Monday Night Wars, Hogan’s fingerprints are on every significant moment in wrestling history. His legacy is complicated, to be sure, and we don’t shy away from that. But as Dave Simon so eloquently put it, “I’m able to separate whatever he was as a person… from the enjoyment that he brought to my life and to millions of others.” Hogan was a performer who could make a simple gesture feel electric, a showman who sold out arenas around the globe, and a legend who taught millions of kids to say their prayers, eat their vitamins, and believe in Hulkamania. His final bow may have been on July 24, 2025, but his legacy will live forever, brother.
