Such a shame. I grew up a couple of miles from his old house, Terry/HH would be out on the town, autoparts, picking up take out, riding his motorcycle, regular dude / dad stuff etc etc. He had a reputation of being super nice, soft spoken, and a good tipper, you know in the before times of long ago.
In the business he’s known as a racist, a deviant, union buster, and a pathological liar. Dude lies about the most easily verifiable shit like “I partied with Jon Belushi after WrestleMania 1” (Belushi died 2 years prior to that) and “I was the first choice to be the lead in the movie the wrestler” (meanwhile the director confirms that’s 100% not true).
That’s a shame, all of it, though I guess none of it matters when you support fascism. Eh, throw another slice of childhood on the fire.
I used to also love that wrestler Chris Jericho back When I was a teen watching wrestling, and I checked him out recently. He’s a trump supporter and his wife was at the Jan 6th insurrection. Trump has at least caused these guys to show their true colors, which makes it easier for us to chuck em in the bin.
That is a tarnished silver lining of the whole maga thing isn’t it? Masks off
It’s definitely made me filter out quite a few people out of my life
Yeah I’m with you on that. Not all of them are racist, greedy, amoral or fascist either, some of them are just genuinely stupid, which doesn’t make them less of threat to freedom or to me.
He is not a nice guy.
Did you grow up within a smaller radius to Hulk Hogan?
No, I am literally in the wrestling business and I read a lot about wrestling history. I have yet to find anyone saying anything positive about him.
I see what you’re saying, but I believe the root comment is talking about before he got famous
To add to the fire also a; Wife beater and racist.
and a compulsive liar
Wait, you mean he wasn’t going to be the original bass player for Metallica??? Lol
So, ticks all the boxes to be a conservative role model
The original Orange Man, if you will.
I always thought he more closely resembled and overcooked hotdog
Don’t forget cheater. Sex tape.
And the Hulkster just talked his way out of a biopic by Todd Phillips of Joker fame.
Oops.
When the world seems full of Hogans, look to the Andre the giants instead. Or something
I would, but the Hogans are plentiful and thriving, while the Andre the Giants of the world are either dead or being threatened by the Hogans.
Evil wins daily. We live in a world where “evil” has profoundly established itself as the leading paradigm for all of humanity, and all of us lost a long time ago, sometimes before being born.
The world isn’t static and losses can be won again.
“shut up and wrestle” Oh wait he’s not black
🎶 I am a real american. Fight for the rights of the rich men 🎶
The real scumbag Steve
overall shitperson that further degraded over time. if only men with a fragile masculinity would keep falling for douchebags.
Your “username” is awesome.
He’s Peter Thiel’s plaything ever since he bankrolled his suit against Gawker.
Fucking Thiel is set to take over the world. Him and his old buddies Musk and Zuck.
It’s soooooo fucking obvious, too. These guys are legit the globalist elite that the conservatives have warned about for decades and they are fleecing them while they beg for more. How the fuck did we get here?
In the 80s I used to idolize this man.
Wow he turned out to be a special kind of shitbag.
A lot of celebrities became shitbags, unfortunately. The most disappointing IMO was JK Rowling. My sisters loved the Harry Potter universe, but soured on it after it was reveled Rowling was a huge nazi shithead.
Y’all just made cause the RNC had an American icon and the DNC has the leader of the Oral Office.
American icon 😂
“I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f–k some n–ger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n–ger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!” Hogan reportedly says in the tape while in the midst of an extended rant about his daughter. “I guess we’re all a little racist. F–king n–ger.” -Hulk Hogan
Hulk Hogan a racist piece of shit.
Disgraced icon*
You’re a troll though. It’s easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.
I’m gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.
English, do you speak it?
Yeah sorry about the typo. Unfortunately for you that doesn’t refute my argument
Sure it does lol
well he was making more than all of them combined
Here’s another example of a fuckwit “celebrity” who just couldn’t keep their shit opinions to themselves & now they’re going to get absolutely drug for the next few months, their lives (hopefully) turned upside down.
Hope that RNC check was enough, burnt jizzbag
I agree he’s a dick but his life being turned upside down? By who? A bunch of people on twitter? 😂
Sellouts are a quintessential part of the Hollywood experience.
This is a factually accurate meme lol! He ratted out Jesse “The Body” Ventura for trying to start a wrestlers union way back in 1986!
Iirc Macho Man Randy Savage was also instrumental to unionization efforts and the company turned him heel for it. The result? Everyone loved Macho Man Randy Savage as a heel more than they ever loved him as a face. There’s something extremely relatable to all of us about a guy who tries to speak up about injustice but doesn’t get the traction and has to go back to making the magic our companies don’t deserve
Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.
A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?
Macho Man was just plain likable all the time. He always cut the greatest promos, had an ego larger than life, and he’s one of the best things about the Raimi Spider-Man movies. Anytime I think of the wrestling greats, I think of Randy Savage.
When we were kids my brother and I met him once at a mini golf course in Florida. He was very nice even though we were assholes interrupting his family time.
Ooooh yeah!
Better to be a heel than a scab.
Randy Savage started his WWF career as a heel. Initially, he didn’t have a manager, so a bunch of heel managers would attend his squash matches and marvel at how amazing he was ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBIXztSSNr0 ). Then after a few matches and promos, he finally announced that he had chosen a manager: Miss Elizabeth ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_G1iMUbbBs ) (In reality, I’m pretty sure he and Elizabeth were a package deal; she would be slated to be his manager/valet before he came to the WWF)
He definitely seemed like a good, genuine dude and someone that was good at most every aspect of pro wrestling (maybe not as technical as Brett Hart, but who is?) regardless, though.
What a little bitch.
I heard that story as part of the Behind the Bastards series on Vince McMahon. It was an excellent and very entertaining four- or five-episode series.
Did not know there was a BtB about Vince McMahon. I’ll have to check that out
four- or five-episode series.
It was six episodes. That’s how much was needed to cover how much of a piece of shit Vince is.
That one and G Gordon Liddy. I especially liked in one of the later Liddy episodes where he said he doesn’t like doing more than 3 or 4 because it gets monotonous, but that Liddy’s life was so bonkers that he just couldn’t decide what to cut!
