Runnin' Wild Forever, Brother

With his larger-than-life persona, he became a symbol of resilience and dominance, traits often associated with the American spirit. His catchphrase, "Say your prayers, eat your vitamins, and you will never go wrong," echoed the wholesome values of hard work, discipline, and personal responsibility. Whether he portrayed the classic "good guy" in his feuds with villains, making him a symbol of American heroism and moral superiority during the Reagan era's focus on traditional values and national pride, or the uncivilized treacherous villian we would know him as "Hollywood Hogan", his success in the WWF (now WWE) transcended wrestling, and he became a pop culture icon, representing the optimism and excess of 80s and the 90's. Whether you love him or hate him, at the end of the day, he influenced a lot of us, and wrestling wouldn't be the same without him.

Let me tell you something, brother........we're gonna miss you, Hulk.
