A long time ago, we owned a Hulk Hogan Wrestling Buddy, and we used to mimic the Hulkster with our friends — who all had the Ultimate *Warrior* Wrestling Buddy. Last night, when the Warriors beat the Brooklyn Nets, Hogan was on hand to take over Golden State’s Twitter account and give a largely ignored speech to the Bay area crowd in an effort to get them excited for the upcoming Wrestlemania 31 (aka Wrestlemania Play).
Here’s his appearance mid-court before the game, and the crowd reaction was largely meh.
Crickets, primarily — and even a small scattering of boos, actually (HOW DARE YOU!).
As the good folks at Uproxx note, the Hulkster’s tweets were just as unctuous as his speech to the crowd.

.@HulkHogan taking over our account just as the #Warriors make a nice run. Works every time. https://t.co/YHcP9uOAmY

I gotta say, those #SplashBrothers are one hell of a tag team. #HulkTakeover

Oh well, we’ll always have fond memories of Hulk somehow body slamming Andre the Giant and his turn as a WCW bad guy — as evidenced by this ridiculous facial hair — with the NWO (New World Order).
