RIP Julian LeFay, 59 is too young.

And RIP Malcolm-Jamal Warner too. Been a rough week that we've lost three loved entertainers.

At least he was old. Malcolm should have had a couple more decades.

Good.

He was a notoriously evil racist, was alleged to have commit almost ric flair levels of sexual assault over the years, and has an argument for singlehandedly killing the unionization of pro wrestling and leading to the modern "independent contractor" mess.

Might have go go chug some gatorade and visit his grave.

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (2 children)

He did get Gawker Media shut down, which should be a plus. But he used Peter Thiel's money to do it, which muddies the waters a bit....

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 69 points 2 days ago (7 children)

“Hard cases make bad laws”

Whatever one thinks of Gawker, its demise is a footnote next to the precedent it set in muzzling investigative journalism that discomfits the powerful.

The craziest thing about HH is that Donald John Trump is in the Epstein files.

You know you're in the right communities when Hulk Hogan dies and everyone says "fuck that guy".

Ozzy Osbourne dies

Everyone: Oh, that sucks!

Hulk Hogan dies

Everyone: Oh well. Moving on.

[–] gonf@lemmy.world 60 points 2 days ago (7 children)

It's almost like if you want to be remembered fondly, you have to not be a piece of shit while you're alive.

The only Hulk I'll mourn is who I thought he was when I was a kid. I already lost that Hulk years ago though.

The world lost a legendary entertainer, someone who played an integral part of my childhood and helped develop my taste in the arts.

God bless you, Ozzy Osbourne.

[–] Rurik@lemmy.world 46 points 2 days ago

Nothing of value lost. Still sucks about Ozzy though :(

Oh, OK. Nothing of value was lost except for sullied childhood memories.

[–] Eldritch@piefed.world 24 points 2 days ago

Yep, back 35 plus years ago. When we still knew the wrestling was fake but you could pretend that Hogan may have been a decent human being.

[–] 474D@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago

And anti-union.

[–] voxthefox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 48 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Not just a magat, he was truly a piece of shit in his life, he also snitched to prevent a union from forming for professional wrestlers. Cared about no one but himself his entire life.

He was at the RNC last year and ripped off his shirt to reveal a MAGA or Trump shirt (I think it was one of those but it was definitely pro Trump even if it wasn't directly MAGA or Trump text). So he was definitely an asshole. Even for more reasons than just being MAGA.

[–] Chookitypok@piefed.social 32 points 2 days ago

MAGA to the gills.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The only thing I'm thankful for is that his last public appearance is getting Booed to high hell at WWE.

Did they make sure his arm dropped 3 times? If they stopped checking at 2 he might still be alive.

Cardiac Arrest

Turns out all those times he was ripping his shirt off, it was just because of chest pains.

Dang everyone hating on him and for good reason, but still a little sad from just how much he was a part of my childhood

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, Hulk Hogan is a great “never meet your heroes” test case. The dude was a huge part of many kids’ formative years, but was actually a massive piece of shit if anyone ever bothered to dig. But before the internet was widespread, digging wasn’t even really possible; all you had to go off of was the public persona that they presented, and whatever you were able to dig up via library research.
