    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.

                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.

      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.

        I know this is a digression from the topic but, what’s with the word ‘cuck’? I’ve never understood why people are called ‘cucks’ as an insult. My understanding is that it’s short for cuckold and that’s always seemed weird to me because if a guy gets cheated on by his partner I don’t automatically think less of them for having that happen to them. There’s another, I assume more modern, sense of the word where ‘cuck’ is referring instead to a fetish where a guy likes seeing their partner have sex with others. But like, if that’s the sense of the word being used when someone is derisively called a ‘cuck’ as an insult then it makes even less sense than the more traditional meaning of the word because if they’re in to that, then surely they’re unlikely to feel particularly ashamed or upset about people calling them that because it’s just… accurate.

      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.

      “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.

    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

    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.

    Why does Trump have so many d list celebs promoting him? They are all so old and irrelevant and just trying to grasp at the spot light once more. They don’t care about him. They just desperately want to be recognized once more

      You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump’s fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?

      I mean, Hulk isn’t exactly a d-lister. The guy still gets huge pops at wrestling shows. It’s more that he’s absolutely trashed his rep with younger people by constantly being a disgusting piece of shit.

          I think you might be seriously underestimating how big a deal wrestling still is in America. We’re not in the glory days of the eighties anymore but it’s still capable of catapulting people like John Cena to mega stardom. Cody Rhodes has barely been back in WWE for a year, and he’s already been added to Call of Duty: Warzone. AEW is the baby brother to WWE and they’re now regularly selling out Wembley Stadium. None of that is small time.

            It still doesn’t compare to pro Booflesmerchz. Bobby Glorgensmit has won the last 4 Dongleboofs by less than 87 zorgensmarcs and Timothy Blinkenspank sold his likeness to be used on the cover of the next Yell of Constipation: Fiberbane for almost 1.5 million pretzels. And Amazon Field, which has a record-breaking 3.6 seats, gets sold out almost twice a decade!

      Damn that would hurt Hogan’s feelings to be called D list. That dude can sell out the Astro done. I saw him vs the Rock at Skydome and it was one of the most epic crowds and crowd reactions I’ve ever witnessed. The guy is a piece of shit, but as an entertainer he was top tier. Billions of fans at his peak.

        That dude ain’t selling shit out. He may still be popular with wrestling fans from the 90s/80s ( older folks) and may draw a decent crowd but i promise you he isnt popular with todays youth.

        I wasn’t trying to hurt the hulksters feelers but it seems like I hurt yours. You ok bud?

      I think a lot of has beens hitch onto whatever they think will pull them back into the spotlight. Trump is easily manipulated like that. Compliment him and if he retreats you, you’ve got a million new followers
