It's nothing wrong with entertainment and showbusiness, but I find "pro-wrestling" to be an offensive name for what he did. Add to that all the steroids.

Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, 71, died from heart attack

Quote:
A heart attack caused the death of pro wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, authorities said Thursday, a week after the larger-than-life entertainer passed away in Florida.

His cause of death was formally listed as “acute myocardial infarction,” a technical term for a heart attack, according to the District 6 medical examiner, which investigates deaths in Pinellas and Pasco counties.

Hogan’s manner of death was called “natural,” with a pathologist noting the wrestler’s history of “atrial fibrillation” and leukemia.

No great loss. His brand of fake wrestling was designated "essential" by the idiot governor of Florida. He bankrupted a media outlet with a lawsuit when they reported on his indiscretions.

He contributed a lot to making the WWE what it is today, so, some wrestling fans will mourn him, at least for his achievements and contributions, regardless of his personal character, or personal failings.
