Hulk Hogan’s Tribute To A Make-A-Wish Child Will Make You Envy Him For Dying
To a child, professional wrestling can have the drama and pathos of Kurosawa. And, in the late ’80s/early ’90s, Hulk Hogan was huge. Hulkamania was, if you will, running wild, even if it sometimes ran to strange and terrible destinations, like the set of Mr. Nanny. So there was nothing unusual about the Make-A-Wish Foundation arranging for a child to see Hogan wrestle in Wembley Arena. But, the story goes, the young Hulk fan succumbed to his illness before the show began, and Hogan was so moved by the sight of an empty chair in the front row that there was only one thing he could do: record a truly terrible song.
The 1995 album Hulk Rules, by “Hulk Hogan and The Wrestling Boot Band,” can charitably be described as an atrocity. It’s ambitious in that it mangles multiple genres, so if you’ve ever wanted to listen to Hogan rap to a sample from Sonic CD, you can certainly do so right after you consult your doctor about your brain tumor. But “Hulkster in Heaven” elevates Hulk Rules from regular ol’ cash-in to an affront to God.
