I wasn’t there and it was back in the day you got thrown out for trying to tape a live concert. But that was a very strong rumor and the amount of drugs he was on I’ll say absolutely.

It did happen……he thought it was a fake bat and bit the head off of it trying to amp up the crowd. Based on an interview he did many years ago. He also snorted ants through a straw at least once.

Have an uncle who is obsessed with Ozzie,… he’s the carpet layer I laid all the floors in the suites at Faurot Field with in back in the early 2000s with if anyone remembers that story. Anyway, I’m sure he’s a bit down today

I remember when that story came out. Crazy

Tom from the Bob and Tom show told a story. about 20 years ago Ozzy started having problems holding his bladder, possibly from the drug use. He would come out at the beginning of his show and pour water on himself so his pants would be wet. You can figure out the rest.

Saw Ozzy a few times back in the day at Ozzfest at Deer Creek (IYKYK). That was 25+ years ago and he was a little rough then, amazing he made it this far.

Favorite line from the Osbourne’s “Sometimes some fish like cheese.”

I also always thought it would be so awesome to be a MLB closer and walk out of the bullpen to Hellraiser.

Crazy. Guess he stopped sayin' his prayers and taking his vitamins. Hulkamania is over.

Some of my earliest memories are being a kid and watching Hogan and the rest of the WWF with my dad and brother. We'd sit on the carpet and watch the TV, dad would be down there with us and we'd try to roll him over for a pin.

Kind of a shame his last TV appearance was in LA and he got destroyed with boos because of his endorsement of Trump. You'd think they would have been more upset about his racism controversy years ago, but he wasn't booed after that, at least not to the degree he received in LA recently. Kind of silly to be more outraged over a political endorsement than racial comments, but that's LA for you. Politics aside, which are silly, it seemed like he wasn't the squeaky clean hero behind the curtain that he portrayed in the ring for much of his career (NWO era outstanding of course).

Not shocking to see that honestly.

No, not at all really. It's almost surprising he didn't check out sooner when you consider all the wrestlers that died young from steroid abuse and drugs. Hogan was just as bad in the 80s and 90s when it came to that stuff. He was probably using some of that stuff even recently, but maybe not to the degree he used to.

Anyone ever see the video of his douchebag son getting a DUI a couple years back? Hulk showed up on scene and didn't interfere and try to throw who he was. Was never a wrestling fan, but how he handled that deal made me respect him alot considering how some people try and throw fame and money around to get out of situations. RIP Hulk...aka Thunderlips....did like him in Rocky 3

I use to watch him and the others back in the day. Just recently I watched some with my 8 year old grandson. I was surprised how much smaller the wrestlers are today compared to back then.

I didn't, but just watched some of it now. I would have expected him to throw his celebrity around, but he did seem rather humble and apologetic. His son is a real dumbass for sure, he's been involved in multiple excessive speeding situations and DUIs in the past, including the wreck that made one of his friends a paraplegic. How someone could continue to drink and drive after something like that is beyond me.

Yeah, Vince loved his big muscle heads back in the 80s. After the steroid scandal in the 90s he went the opposite direction and went with leaner, smaller wrestlers to try and change the image, but eventually he settled somewhere in the middle mostly. There's a few big guys today, but way more athletic types.

Chuck Mangione passed away two days ago.

My first knowledge of him, like many Millennials was through King of the Hill. Imagine him and Ozzy making some kind of crazy collab right now.
