Any life decision that Hulk Hogan made after his 2007 divorce from his wife Linda isn't probably the best decision to look at as Hogan saying f*** you to his fans as he's likely been under extreme emotional duress, but still, the number of completely boneheaded things that Hogan's done in the past eight years to damage his legacy bears mentioning as each of them makes it harder to validate being a Hogan fan.
