When my sons were young, they were very much into WWF wrestling. One of their favorite characters on TV was Hulk Hogan.
Recently going through old toys - with the aim of getting rid of some - I came across this Hulk Hogan "talking" toy that my youngest son loved.
LI can still remember him gleefully punching it, just to hear Hogan (the doll) reply - "Hey! Get off my gut! ..."
Playing with it - by that I mean, punching it - my son "became" a wrestler, too!
(Both he and his brother still refer to their biceps as "pythons"!)
Does his current love of boxing and wrestling owe its origins to this showman/wrestler/entertainer?!
Then, a few days ago, I heard that Hulk Hogan had died of a heart attack.
How can I get rid of this toy?! (Even if no one plays with it now - because it frightens my grandchildren?!)
Maybe I'll just replace the battery and see it I can get him to "talk" again!
