The 6 year old in me is very disappointed to learn that Hulk Hogan is a dumb piece of crap.
IIRC he got canceled way back during or shortly after his reality show when he went on a racist rant over a recorded phone-call to his son who was sitting in jail, the context of which sounded very similar to a lot of Trump conservative meltdowns.
Almost. Hogan was a bull (I think), and was giving the old third leg drop on this dudes wife. The dude was secretly recording, and Hogan started ranting about how he didn’t want his daughter to date black guys. He used much worse language.
The call you are referencing was after his son crippled a man when he wrecked while allegedly racing, and all they were worried about was making the passenger look bad and a reality TV show when Nick got released.
I’ll be damned. Looks like Hulk and Nick did discuss racially insensitive things, to put it nicely.
This isn’t surprising. Hulk Hogan is a huge racist.
Remember when his drunken piece of shit kid killed someone and Hulk Hogan Said it was probably karma?
I don’t know if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n****s. But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever. I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*****.
– Hulk Hogan, who was taken out of the Wrestling Hall of Fame for three whole years after he was recorded saying that.
And then Peter Thiel, pissed that Gawker outed him, bankrolled Hogan’s lawsuit which took them down. I remember lots of people on Reddit regarded it as a victory because Gawker sucked, which it did. They didn’t care that a billionaire found a way to destroy a media outlet that told people something about him that he didn’t want them to know.
Peter Thiel is, of course, also a big Republican supporter.
Hogan was already a piece of shit for being a racist. He didn’t need to make me dislike him even more by getting into politics, even if his racism made clear which side he was on. Fuck him with a ten foot dick.
Be nice to that dick. Nobody wants a 10ft dong around, so have some compassion. Let it get creative, at least. I mean, what else is it for, after all?
The Danes have already thought about it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Dillermand

Kind of a serious thing, for some people, to want quiet. What was the Gawker lawsuit over?
They released the secret recording of him saying the racist thing above without anyone’s permission. Which is an absolutely shitty thing to do. But Thiel saw it as an in and paid for the best lawyers he could find and took them down.
Should they have been taken down for it anyway? Maybe. But not because of Peter Thiel.
I’ve never watched it, but I feel like outing a gay man and revenge porn fall into the “bad action” category, despite them being pieces of shit.
Hogan is famously a liar of epic proportions and shut down a potential wrestlers union in the 80s. I know many of us were hulkamaniacs at some point but he’s a piece of shit.
I haven’t kept up with ole Stone Cold but last I checked he was threatening people online for being racist and homophobic. So if you want a decent person that was once at the top of the business he’s a better choice
Edit: I should add that I know Austin beat his wife when he was king of WWE but seems to have changed his ways and bettered himself. Doesn’t excuse that he did it but like I said he’s about the best in the wrestling business
I know next to zero about professional wrestling, but isn’t CM Punk also a pretty good dude outside the ring?
John Cena too I think. At the very least he had the record for most wishes granted for the Make a Wish Foundation.
John Cena speaks pretty fluent Chinese when he needs to apologize to the CCP.
He’s on the right side politically, definitely. Big believer in human rights, and has spoken up publicly in favor of abortion and trans rights.
I hear that he’s a nightmare in his personal life due to being a big huge ball of trust issues, but he definitely ain’t no fascist.
Your childhood heroes are losers
Thank goodness there are still some good ones left of our childhood heroes.
I’m looking at you, Lucy Lawless Warrior Princess (who has the power of flight per The Simpsons), and especially looking at you LeVar Burton (who has the power of summoning rainbows with his mind)!
Fuck Kevin Sorbo.
