Seeing Hulk Hogan on TV thru my childhood, then early adulthood in the 80s and 90s, I was always rooting against him in the show, I always liked the heels more. I learned to appreciate the art and behind the scenes more as I got older, and understood his impact much more. I got to meet him randomly at one of the radio stations i worked for, and lived close enough to run home and get my replica championship, and he was so enthused to meet a wrestling fan, and offered to autograph it when he saw me walk in with it. I didn't really know him, but in that brief encounter he was fun to spend a moment with and talk about his SummerSlam match with Randy Orton. RIP.
