Jim Ross sent a serious message after Hulk Hogan’s passing
Despite being the biggest star in wrestling at one point in his career, Hogan was also involved in quite a few controversies over the years. This has only tarnished the Hulkster’s image with the fans. Hence, he was booed during his last WWE appearance during RAW’s premiere on Netflix. Even after he passed, several fans took the opportunity to bash him online.
Speaking on his Grilling JR podcast, Jim Ross was all praise for Hogan’s work ethic and said that it’s just sad that people are wasting their time and energy by disrespecting him. He urged fans to show some respect towards the WWE Hall of Famer instead.
“There are a contingent of wrestling fans who don’t wish anything but the worst for Hulk Hogan. That’s sad, that’s just sad. Come on. Get over it, get over yourself. The guy had a family. He was a Road Warrior-type guy. The territory days were hard. I just hate to see people waste their time, energy, and spirit on so much negativity. It feels ugly, it feels dark, and it’s a complete waste of your time. Clear your head. Show your respect. And if you’re a wrestling fan, you can’t do anything but honor his memory. You can’t,” said Ross. [H/T Ringside News]
