Hulk Hogan and The Lukewarm Golden State Warriors Intro

((ht: cbssports.com))

Oh Hulk Hogan, in the days of yore, you could tear the roof off a WWE arena with your mere presence.

But as you've aged into your 60's, the crowd pop just isn't quite the same.

Thursday night, the Hulkster was called upon to get the crowd revved up for the intros before the New Jersey Nets-Golden State Warriors game in Oakland.

Complete with his circa 1980's intro music (Real American),  the Hulkster came down and spoke the wisdom of the epic Nets vs. Warriors matchup.

The crowd...well, at least based on the sound, wasn't quite so into it...

SMH: Hulk Hogan With Bizarre Promo Supporting New England Patriots

((ht: sportsgrid.com))

Huh?

There was a time, a decade or 3 ago, where pro wrestler Hulk Hogan was cool, relevant and sometimes kind of interesting when he would cut a promo.

Then there's this.

Mind you, we don't hate on old professional wrestlers, Ric Flair cutting a promo to pump on the San Francisco 49ers last week was great.

But the Hulkster, well, he's kind of devolved into a bit of a parody of his former self.

Check out this 2 minute or so promo he cuts for the New England Patriots. No, it probably won't make you hate either the Hulkster, or the Patriots (ok, maybe the Patriots), but will leave you shaking your head and asking: "What the heck did he just say?"

Toronto Screwjob: Mayor Beats Hulk Hogan Arm Wrestling...

((HT: Sportsnet))

First watch this... from the Toronto Fan Expo...

So, embattled and embittered mayor Rob Ford gets the win in front of the home crowd and Hogan sells well...

Almost like every other live wrestling event of the last forty years or so...

Congrats to the mayor for beating his childhood hero...

Hulk Hogan and Shaquille O'Neal: This is comedy? Or Pathetic

Wow, guess we missed the announcement that Shaquille O'Neal started his own YouTube Alleged Comedy Channel.

And we promise you this will be the ONE and only time we are going to mention it.

In today's episode, our hero gets pushed around by 97-year old wrestling legend Hulk Hogan. Whom Shaq has about a half foot and a hundred pounds on.

Shaq allegedly had committed some sort of affront to someone named Godfrey. And no, we apparently are NOT hip, because we have no idea whom Mr. Godfrey is.

Hulk comes in for the save, appears to go for a "ChokeSlam"...or at least that's what the YouTube title says.

The (do the finger quote thing) "Choke Slam" is more like the 112-year old Hogan pushing O'Neal sort of...and O'Neal flopping onto a couch.

**Note**--This year in the NBA, it would cost O'Neal some money for flopping like this.

**Note #2**--This isn't going to distract any celebrity sex tape watchers who seem fascinated by a Hulk Hogan sex tape making the rounds. (No, we aren't posting that here--and NEVER WILL)

**Note #3**--Maybe it is our lack of sleep, but we don't think so...this isn't even the SLIGHTEST BIT FUNNY.

At all.

And yet this exists. Though we promise to never share anything like it....ever again.
