A Sad Day For the Hulkster

I have been a wrestling fan for almost my whole life, and it's something that I will always enjoy. Without a doubt, one of my favorite wrestlers of all time is Hulk Hogan. Everything that he has done in the ring has been nothing short of entertaining and I have owned several of his DVD collections and t-shirts. Also, my friends and I saw his last WWE match, which is something that I will remember. I often debate with my friends on whether or not he is the greatest wrestler who ever lived.

However, this is not about his in ring work and illustrious wrestling career, but more about his personal life. I wish I could say that it was as positive as his wrestling career, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. Recently on November 23, the divorce details with his wife Linda have gone public. Linda had received several of his possessions, like expensive an Cadillac, a Corvette, a Rolls-Royce, and a Mercedez Benz. Along with taking these cars, the former Mrs. Hulk Hogan had also received close to 45 million dollars from her ex-husband! What was Hulk left with, a mere 3 million but he doesn't have to pay an alimony. He is also still making money based on appearances he makes in TNA Wrestling, the number 2 promotion to WWE.

What does this say about Hulk? Well, it's just another blemish on his legacy. Is anyone going to remember all his classic promos and matches from the 80's and 90's? No, I feel like everyone will only remember his broken marriage and the drama that had came from it. It's upsetting to see this, and it's even more upsetting to see this woman take everything away from him as well. Granted, I don't condone what Hogan had done (he allegedly cheated on her with a 19 year old!) but was all of this really necessary?
