Wrestling icon Hulk Hogan has died at 71 after suffering cardiac arrest at his Florida home. Paramedics attempted CPR for 30 minutes, but he was pronounced dead at the hospital, brother.
As news broke, social media did what it always does when a polarizing public figure passes. Some paid tribute to the wrestling legend and his larger-than-life persona, while many others brought up the more, umm, complicated parts of his legacy, especially his history of racist remarks and controversies that resurfaced over the years. (Like his s** tape and corresponding lawsuit with Gawker, funded by billionaire Peter Thiel)
The reactions online have been a blend of nostalgia (remember how he used to sign all of his Tweets “HH”?), criticism, memes, and shock. But here at Pleated-Jeans we focus on the funny stuff, so that’s what you’re getting.
