Bret Hart wrote this piece about Hulk Hogan in the Calgary Sun on June 8, 2002:
“The first time I met Terry Bollea we were both working for Georgia Championship Wrestling, which eventually evolved into the WCW.
Back then he was known as Sterling Golden. He was very green. And very impressive.
On the day I left Atlanta to come home I knocked on his door to say good bye and told him if he ever wanted to learn to wrestle he was welcome to come up and work for my Dad any time.
He thanked me, and meant it, saying hed keep it in mind.
The next time I saw him was in Japan. He'd just shot his cameo for the Rocky Ill movie and was on the verge of mega - stardom that nobody could have even begun to imagine.
Still the same guy.
When I started with the WWF, in August of '84, he was on his way to being, without question, the biggest name in the history of wrestling.
I can remember, even during the glory days of Hulkamania, how Terry would come into the dressing room and say hi to every single wrestler. Every night he headlined there was a sell out and throughout the night all the wrestlers would come up to him and whoever his opponent was and thank them both for the house, for putting food on their tables and making wrestling something worth respecting.
I can say that Hulk Hogan was not only a hero to millions of Hulkamaniacs, but to all the wrestlers too.
If Vince McMahon was Julius Caesar, then Hulk Hogan was Alexander The Great.
I remember one time at an airport, in about 1987, when Hulk signed one autograph after another to the point where it took him 45 minutes to get to the gate.
They were closing the doors as he was boarding the plane and this one fan asked him for his autograph.
He said apologetically, “I'm sorry, I can't, I'm gonna miss my flight..." and he got on the plane.
I was right behind him and I heard a bystander flippantly remark, 'Just like I figured. I always thought he was a jerk.'
I thought to myself, that person has no idea how many autographs he just signed. Being a hero like Hulk Hogan it's hard to make everybody happy but for a guy that's been wrestling as long as he has he's certainly done a heck of a job.
Hulk was especially considerate of me when I joined him in the WCW.
I saw him a few days ago at Davey's funeral and despite the sad backdrop, it was nice to catch up on things.
So then I opened up my paper and saw a picture of Hulk, taken in Calgary, with a fifteen year old girl named Amanda Marqnia who dreams of being a pro wrestler but needed a heart transplant.
It brought back what I remember most about Hulk Hogan, even more than his feats as a great wrestler.
The countless times the office came to get him from the dressing room to make the wish of a sick or dying child come true. Despite the fact that he was pulled in too many different directions and had little time for himself or his family, Hulk always had all the time in the world for kids who needed him to be their hero.
He somehow knew just the right things to say. It was never a burden to him.
If anything, it gave him a sense of real purpose.
I've always tried to follow his example."

@TenaciousNiplet @allthesmokeprod Stupid Coach and his SYSTEM can't fit GASOL and HOWARD at the starting five. Had to bench one or the other.....so DUMB.... WHAT COACH wouldn't want Gasol and Howard on their team??? OURS...Kobe had to carry us through this CHAOS. RIP Bean.

@allthesmokeprod I'll never forgive Mike D'Antoni for literally pushing Kobe past his limit. He would have had another couple years of elite play left had he not torn his achilles that fateful day. RIP Kobe. 🙏🏼

@TheTruth8240 I'm really counting the GAMES..... looks like we'll have to endure at least 5 more GAMES. 5 MORE.....not 1, not 2, not 3....FIVE and the SUFFERING would be OVER!

Rich Paul says the Lakers should be delighted LeBron decided to play for them 👀 “When you have a player like LeBron James, you keep that guy a part of your organization. The Lakers should be delighted that he played them, number 1. Also, they should be doing everything they can to make sure he’s a part of that organization going forward” (Via Game Over)

Ric Bucher says Max Kellerman is Goofy for saying Kobe Bryant is only greater than Dwayne Wade because hes 2 inches Taller 🔥
"Kobe had 21 Triple Doubles in his Career, Dwayne Wade had 5. Kobe was named All Defense 12 times, 9 times to the 1st team, Wade 3 times all 2nd Team selections. If you think height was the only reason Kobe was a better defender you have no understanding of what playing defense in basketball or the NBA consists of. Jason Kidd was 6'4 just like Wade, he was All Defense 9 times"
