I think Hogan will probably outlive Vince.

Hogan's fine. He's healthy, and not that old. I don't think we'll have to worry about this for a long while.

Hogan is in great shape for a guy his age and I would be surprised if he had a good amount of years left to be lived.

Hogans not going anywhere anytime soon, I bet he lives well into his 70s., if not 80s.

It will be huge in the wrestling world and will probably get a good deal of mainstream media coverage. Hogan transcends the genre. As far as how he'll be remembered there will be no talk of politicking or anything like that. He's the biggest star ever in wrestling.
I would imagine that there will be a tribute show of some type for him as well.

I think when he passes people will remember the good times, as one does during times like this...
but i know what will happen, someone will bring up the bad times of Hogan and they will get flaned for "being disrespectful" but thats wring, you see just because they are dead don't make them saints, it doesn't wipe away bad points, you could argue that it isn't the right time to bring up the subject but I know some people ill be savage and/or insinuate that the person isbeing disrespectful because they aren't talking about how great he was.
I've seen that happen

Hopefully, the Hulkster is with us for a VERY LONG time
However, when his time comes, he will be remembered as the top face and heel in the buisiness

Whne Hulk Hogan is on his deathbed, and all seems lost, suddenly his eyes will pop open, and he'll raise his arms to the sky and wave his finger, and then drop the leg on that big stinky Reaper.
But in all seriousness, when Hulk Hogan dies, it will not only be a major blow to the wrestling industry, but to the entire entertainment industry.

I've seen that happen I couldn't agree more with this. I HATE that after someone is dead we're supposed to forget alot of their bad points. Right when someone dies, I agree with it's a time for sorrow and remembering the good times. But you don't erase your past faults by being deceased. As time passes you have to be fair. Hogan's backstage bullshit is a part of his legacy now whether the Hulkamaniacs like it or not. And it needs to be factored in to his influence on the business. No, it doesn't need to be the main thing he's remembered for, but it has to be remembered just like his good times are. Biggest name in wrestling history? Oh yes, very much so. Legendary backstage influence? Absolutely.

I think it would actually be mentioned more in mainstream media as well.

People will be sad
He will get a bigger tribute then Eddie
He will be exploited more then Eddie
You will get a lot of fake I cried so much today
I'm personally not a big Hogan fan myself, I don't cry when wrestlers die. But I can recognize contributions and I was a Hogan mark during his coward NWO days when he had all that back up. So I will mention that as my favorite memory.

Hogan is huge. The world would certainly hear of it. He knew exactly what wrestling was all about back then and blew up so big he was made to be bigger than IMO the biggest thing ever in wrestling, Andre. Hate how he never really changed with the times or how he held people back if you want (I kinda do) but the "Hollywood" Hulkster was so huge he helped to make the WWF(E) what it is today. (Is that even a complement?) On a side note, the first heel action I ever call supporting as a young boy was when Savage turned on Hogan and dissolved the "Power Friends" or whatever the hell they were called. Really though, it's kind of sad to think about Hulkimania finally running down. He was the greatest wrestling hero of all time and he really did shock most everyone with the whole NWO thing. I'm curious to see which one of these newer guys finally finds their stride and takes the business to the next level as Hogan did.

I didn't cry at Eddie, hell I didn't really care THAT much. Bam Bam made me sad, Public Enemy, Candido, all those boys made me sad, about the Eddie level, but nothing to serious. When Hogan dies, I cry. Period. And I don't cry often.

Do you suppose that they will play the "Hulkster in Heaven" song over the speakers, on the radio stations, etc?

I'll be sad when he passes. I am sad when any wrestler passes away if I liked them or not. Fortunately, only Eddie and Bam Bam have passed while I've been watching. Well... Candido too but I wasn't really into it then and didn't know him at the time. Hopefully he doesn't go for quite some time... As well with any other wrestler.

Will I be sad? Yes, of course. Will I shed tears over it? Probably not. If that makes me sound like a horrible person, I'm sorry, but I've never felt that special connection to Hogan.

I was a kid when Hogan was the most hated man on earth (1997) so I'll probabl won't cry, but I'll be sad.
And there will be a dozen tribute shows and the mainstream media will care about wrestling again for a week.
And I bet the guy at Summerslam with the huge Hogan tattoo will cry.
