RIP: Hulk Hogan

A large part of my childhood is gone. Hulk Hogan, who was the face of professional wrestling throughout the 1980s and 1990s, passed away after suffering cardiac arrest in his home. He was 71. Born Terry Bollea, Hulk Hogan began his professional wrestling career in the late 1970s and quickly found his way to the WWF, where he wrestled Andre the Giant in Shea Stadium.  He left the WWF when he won the role of “Thunderlips” in Rocky III (WWF owner, Vince McMahon Sr., would not sanction his decision), and when the film came out, he was pushed as a…

This one hurts. Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary figure of Heavy Metal for decades, passed away this morning after a long bout with Parkinson’s disease. He was 76. From Birmingham, England, Osbourne was the front man of the influential band, Black Sabbath, whose hits “Paranoid”, “War Pigs” and “Iron Man” remain metal staples to this day.  Osbourne would break out on his own, churning out bigger hits, most notably “Crazy Train”.  His career experienced a renaissance on reality TV with his family, “The Osbournes,” which introduced Ozzy to a new generation of fans. The “Prince of Darkness” had been ill for…

1981 PRELIMINARY RESULTS: Thank you to all who participated in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project. If you are still determining what that is, we acted like the PFHOF had its first class in January 1946. We have completed the first 34 years thus far. For “1981,” a Preliminary Vote with close to 100 players whose playing career ended by 1975. We are also following the structure, where players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25…
It is with great pleasure that we have brought back the Notinhalloffame MLB Regular Cup, and let us explain how this works: For every regular-season game, we anointed the top five players with the most points, in descending order: 5-4-3-2-1.  We know the following: The top players for the MLB NIHOF Cup are not always the best in the league, as injuries keep players out of games, and a premium on staying healthy can help pile up points. It also does not hurt to be a top player on an average or mediocre team, as they can amass Cup points…
Regular visitors to Notinhalloffame.com are aware that we are gradually compiling the top 50 lists for every major team in the NHL, NBA, NFL, and MLB. Once that is done, we will examine how each team honors its past players, coaches, and executives.   Eventually, this will extend to the college ranks.  As such, it is important to us that the University of Illinois has announced 11 new members to their Athletic Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame ceremony will take place on October 10, and the class will be honored the following day during the Fighting Illini’s home…
