The 6 year old in me is very disappointed to learn that Hulk Hogan is a dumb piece of crap.

NauticalNoodle , (edited )

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.

Oh Terry… What have you become?

Peter Thiel funded Terry Bollea’s lawsuit against Gawker. It’s saddening (but not surprising) that he’s a real shitbird too.

Look BROTHA, it’s like this— The Hulkster is super rich and extremely racist, but mainly Hulkster just doesn’t wanna pay taxes

This isn’t surprising. Hulk Hogan is a huge racist.

He did say brotha a lot.

Remember when his drunken piece of shit kid killed someone and Hulk Hogan Said it was probably karma?

motor_spirit ,

… nah dude WWTF

Cadeillac ,
@Cadeillac@lemmy.world avatar

I thought he killed someone too, but now all I can find is that he left somebody brain damaged to the point of needing lifetime care. Fuck Mandela

Edit: According to SRS Hogan stated the guy and his family should live their second life as black people for karma

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.

Didn’t like that but can’t say I’d do different.

There is no way the studio didn’t push for that.

General politics wise he’s publicly been pro women’s rights and supports LGBQT+ rights

ImADifferentBird ,
@ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

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.

@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

He didn’t lie when he said he was a racist though. Of course, he didn’t know there was a camera on him at the time.

John Cena.

The Undertaker and Chris Jericho are endorsing Donald Trump to remain the President of the United States. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, and Jericho are the biggest donors to the Trump campaign in terms of pro wrestlers. 411 Mania noted that The Undertaker has donated a total of $7,000 to Trump and Republican causes this year while Jericho has donated $3,000 this month.

Republican fundraising platform WinRed has accepted donations from WWE’s John Gaburick ($100), Drake Wuertz ($10) and Kevin Dunn ($42). Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon is one of the biggest Trump supporters as she and husband, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, donated $5 million to the Trump Foundation from 2004 to 2014. Trump has strong ties with WWE as he’s a member of the company’s Hall of Fame. In WrestleMania 23, Trump took on Vince McMahon in a Hair vs. Hair match and won.

Good. Now I have no reason to feel bad about laughing at the Undertaker when the Sci-Fi channel, for some reason, had him host a movie night, called “The Undertaker’s Theater of Doom” and he pronounced it “thee-ayter.”

vividspecter ,

Another connection is Vince McMahon and his wife, both of which are right wing pieces of trash. Linda herself served in the previous Trump administration.

ChihuahuaOfDoom ,

Jesus fucking christ.

thefartographer ,

Wait, you mean that the union-busting, back-stabbing, “I got mine,” racist piece of shit supports Trump???

Well, now I’m offended!

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.

curbstickle ,

Lucy Lawless is an absolute treasure of a human being.

When your fan club has a week dedicated to being charitable, you’re deserving of those fans.

President Camacho realized he needed to put the smartest man he knew in charge to save the world.

The current crop of Republicans, uh… don’t.

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.
