🎤 Honey, grab your popcorn and polish your wrestling boots, because this tea is piping hot and sparkled with more drama than a Real Housewives reunion in Vegas. That’s right, the queen bee of the squared circle was spectacularly snubbed at the 2025 Emmys “In Memoriam” segment—and his ex, Linda Hogan, just dropped the glam-gloved slap we didn’t know we were waiting for.
Let’s set the stage: The 2025 Emmy Awards aired with all the shimmer, champagne, and slow piano tributes we’ve come to expect from Hollywood’s glitziest night. But when the “In Memoriam” slideshow rolled, eagle-eyed viewers (and a few million wrestling fans) noticed one glaring omission: the legendary, muscle-bound maestro who body-slammed his way into pop culture history—Hulk Hogan. Yes, darling, THE Hulkster, born Terry Bollea, was inexplicably left out of the celestial roll call.
And enter Linda Hogan, stage left, dripping in diva energy and not one to hold her tongue. In a statement that shook the satin gloves off Hollywood’s PR machine, she took to social media with zero chill and maximum sparkle, serving up a scathing clap-back that even Bravo producers would envy.
“The only reason Hulk was left out was POLITICS,” Linda declared, pairing her words with a throwback photo of the pair in all their 80s glory—sun-kissed, spandexed, and scandalously unbothered. “They don’t want to admit he was a bigger icon than half of Hollywood. He changed entertainment forever!” she continued. Oh honey, she didn’t just spill tea—she dumped the whole velvet-lined kettle.
Let’s not pretend Hulk Hogan was just some roided-up reality dad. The man was a pop-fried phenomenon, turning Saturday morning wrestling into a household addiction. From WrestleMania headlines to reality TV royalty, Hulk was the blonde-mustached blueprint for meme-worthy machismo. Love him or leave him, he *was* TV.
So why the snub? Some say lingering controversies; others whisper about Hollywood’s disdain for the headlock-heavy world of wrestling. Linda, however, ain’t buying it. For her, it’s a clear case of “cancel culture meets carpet couture,” and she’s ready to body slam the hypocrisy.
And babes, let’s be real—if the Emmys can show love to actors who spent more time in green-screen dragon caves than living rooms across America, they best not pretend Hulkmania wasn’t real. Audiences laughed, cried, and Hulk-smashed their way through decades of pop culture thanks to the guy. He was a walking soundbite, a Saturday night staple, and let’s never forget how he made handlebar mustaches hotter than a Miami July.
Social media, of course, did what it always does—exploded into GIFs and clapbacks. #HulkSnub trended within hours, with fans rallying to defend their fallen icon like the proud tag-team they are. Memes of the Emmys being dropped from the top ropes? Oh, they flourished, darling.
So here we are, bathed in Emmy afterglow and blinking in disbelief. Was it shade? Oversight? Or just another classic tale of industry amnesia? One thing’s for sure: Linda Hogan’s not going quietly—and neither is the legacy of a man who unapologetically turned every ring into a stage.
The Emmys may have ghosted Hulk Hogan, but in the arena of public opinion? Oh sweetie, he’s still undefeated.
Stay fabulous, and let the gossip roll! 💋
