I'd say kind words, but...

I guess thanks for helping make wrestling fun. Sounds callous to have no nice words after someone passes, so at least thanks for helping to shape wrestling.

Aesthetically, I've always liked the hulkster. He always had an iconic look and schtick going on. But yeah, I haven't heard a whole lot of good things about the dude. He was also a bit before my time as a wrestling fan, so I never had much emotional connection to him anyway. Definitely more of an Ozzy fan. RIP though.

One can condemn him for being an awful human being, and still acknowledge his character had charisma and was a big part in the growth of the WWF/WWE

At least Benoit was a good person before CTE and steroids made him go crazy and murder his family.

And at least he was fun to watch in the ring.

CTE or not, I still ain't giving a pass for killing his wife and kids. He could have strung himself up like Aaron Hernandez did for all I care.

I'm not disagreeing. What he did was awful. hogan wasn't the picture of stability either.

I was more trying to joke that in ring at least Benoit was good. Hogan has never been never was.

Hogan was more of a mascot for the industry. Like Jimmy Hart.

Did he ever shave once he became mainstream? I wonder if people would recognize him without the facial hair and bandana. (Wonder if he was bald)

Like it reminds me of Dolly Parton, she has said she can go out without the wig and makeup.

He was another one of those wrestlers with the old-school locker room mentality, so need to take that into account too. Let's not forget he locked Miz out of the locker room for something stupid.

And the story about him canceling Brian Kendrick's waffle order and making him eat steamed steak and egg whites.

Weirdo behavior.
