A Tribute to an American Icon and Our Grateful Conversation with Him Before His Passing
In a moment that shook the hearts of millions across the country, we mourn the loss of a true American icon—Hulk Hogan, a man who embodied grit, patriotism, and power both inside and outside the wrestling ring.
His booming voice, undeniable charisma, and unwavering dedication to faith, family, and country made him more than just a wrestling superstar. He was a symbol of American exceptionalism, a hero to generations, and a man unafraid to speak truth in a world growing hostile to it.
Before his passing, we had the great honor of sitting down with Hulk Hogan for what would become one of the most powerful and humbling conversations in Try That in a Small Town podcast history. Looking back, we are filled with immense gratitude and reverence for the opportunity to hear his story in his own words—raw, real, and unapologetically American.
From his early years rising through the ranks of professional wrestling to becoming the face of a cultural movement, Hogan lived the American Dream. He was bold in his convictions, proud of his faith, and never afraid to call out the growing rot of political correctness and moral decay in our culture.
In our conversation, he spoke candidly about the importance of faith in Jesus Christ, the decline of masculine leadership, and why standing up for truth, liberty, and the American flag was worth every battle he fought.
His words weren’t just memories—they were a call to arms for every patriot listening.
We didn't just talk to a wrestler. We talked to a warrior. A man who carried his cross, wore the red, white, and blue, and lifted others with every “Whatcha gonna do, brother?”
Today, we say goodbye to a legend. But more than that, we say thank you.
Thank you, Hulk Hogan, for showing us what it means to fight with honor.
Thank you for proving that faith and freedom are worth defending.
And thank you for sitting down with us, in what now feels like a sacred conversation, one final body slam to the chaos of the modern world.
🙏 Rest in power, Hulk Hogan.
You may be gone, but your legacy will never tap out.
