Geez not another one.
Can't remember much of him in the ring but his guest appearance in Married with Children was superb entertainment. RIP
His heart must have been working overtime
I'm astonished he made it to 61.
Yeah I think he was one of those obese but strong and surprisingly mobile guys.
Fuck me Hulk Hogan must have attended some funerals in his time....
Sergeant Slaughter better watch out, Hogan's main opponents from each of the first 6 Wrestlemanias are dead (Piper, Bundy, Andre, Andre, Macho Man, Warrior).

I used to love reruns of their show growing up, and the music was catchy. One of their hits 'I'm a Believer' was written by Neil Diamond of all people
“ I’m a bereaver” seems more suitable
And you accuse me of Dad jokes. Anyway, you still got an upvote.

Dick Dale just died aged 81.
Poor bugger had to keep touring in order to pay for various cancer and diabetes treatments apparently.
I think you'll all agree what a wicked player he was, the live version of this in particular is a fucken banger. RIP.
it's a shame he's not more of a household name, he should be, speaking as a miso this track is tough to play well.

Just heard this. Boyz was a terrific film and even my 13 year old son is a massive fan. Shaft was also damn cool. Still relatively young as well. A genuine cinematic pioneer and someone who deserves all the plaudits.

Yeah, bit of a shock. I also forgot how young he was when he directed Boyz in the Hood.
Apparently the TV show he was running, Snowfall, is pretty good. I keep meaning to watch it and never get round to it so may give it a go now.
