Triple H, WWE deliver emotional Hulk Hogan tribute at SmackDown
Hulk Hogan’s tribute to open WWE SmackDown on Friday night was nothing short of a tear-jerker.The event in Cleveland was opened with loud applause and the crowd chanting “Hogan” in unison to honor the late wrestler who died at 71 years old on Thursday.
Fellow wrestler Triple H led the tribute for Hogan.
And with that, let’s go to the vid.

Dammit, I don’t know who the blue blazes that guy might be that’s standing front and center and delivering the speech, but I know for sure and certain he can’t possibly be HHH. Man, no friggin’ way. Whoever that imposter really is, he’s much, MUCH too old to actually be the HHH I remember.

I read somewhere that Hulk Hogan was a “racist”. How disappointing! I certainly won’t be reading that again.
He will be missed.
I was never a follower of the wrestling entertainment scene. I doubt that anyone over 50 doesn’t know who HH was in spite of not following such. Somewhere I was reminded of what his greatest accomplishment was, to me – The takedown and destruction of Gawker with help from Peter Theil. Theil told Hulk (who was broke then) that he would fund the lawsuit as long as Hulk saw it through to the end – no settlement. Hulk said “hell yea”* and the fight was on.
*something like that I guess
Plus the whole tie-in with music videos, and other commercials. Like Cyndi Lauper and WWE. Plus movies.
Hey, remember this guy Trump making cameos in all that?
He was certainly a game changer.
