I've decided that I want this song played at my funeral

You HAVE to listen to this song. Hogan put out a cd in the mid 90's called "Hulk Hogan and His Wrestling Boot Band."

There's a couple of Hogan rap tracks on the album. It's amazing.

I own this CD. It's the goods. Jimmy Hart does a Buffet-esque song on it that's... just fantastic.

I wonder if someone close to Hogan died around the time of this or was there some other reason this was written? :?:

Ok, so next year you want this song played. Got it.

I want Gertner's funeral to be like this

I guess this answers my question

There's no excuse for that song

In hindsight, that Make-a-Wish kid died for a good cause.

the fact that he thought that song would be a good tribute to that kid is the most sad and funny thing I've ever heard.

Dunno, I'd be honoured.

Brings a Goddamn tear to my eye.
