🔥 “Show Some Damn Respect!” – Ex-WWE Referee Blasts Fans for Dragging Hulk Hogan Right After His Death
When the wrestling world lost Hulk Hogan, many expected tributes, memories, and moments of reflection. But instead, a wave of harsh criticism swept through social media — and one former WWE insider has had enough of it.
Legendary WWE referee Jimmy Korderas, who spent over two decades officiating in the squared circle, didn’t hold back when he saw how quickly some fans jumped online to bash Hogan just hours after his death was announced. In a passionate message on X (formerly Twitter), Korderas slammed the negativity, saying:
“The way people couldn’t wait even a few hours to start trashing Hogan was honestly disgusting. The man just died. Can we show a little humanity?”
Korderas made it clear — he’s not denying Hogan’s past mistakes, including controversial racist remarks that once rocked the wrestling world. But he believes there’s a time, place, and tact required when addressing a complicated legacy.
“Yes, Hulk had his flaws. Talk about them — but not while the man’s body is still warm. There’s such a thing as respect. This wasn’t some serial killer. He was one of the biggest icons in wrestling history.”
What really fired up Korderas was what he called the “performative outrage crowd” — people who, in his words, didn’t hate Hogan as much as they loved the attention they got for pretending to hate him.
“It wasn’t real hate. It was social media points. It was sewer-level behavior dressed up as moral righteousness.”
Korderas’ take is lighting up the wrestling internet, with fans split between agreeing with his call for compassion and others defending their right to criticize Hogan’s past.
But no matter where you stand, one thing is clear: Hulk Hogan’s death has reopened deep conversations about separating personal flaws from public legacy — and Jimmy Korderas is demanding that we bring a little class back to that conversation.
