And the Hulkster just talked his way out of a biopic by Todd Phillips of Joker fame.
Oops.
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 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.
Ooooh yeah!
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.
Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.
A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?
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.
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.
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!
Did not know there was a BtB about Vince McMahon. I’ll have to check that out
What a little bitch.
🎶 I am a real american. Fight for the rights of the rich men 🎶
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? 😂
overall shitperson that further degraded over time. if only men with a fragile masculinity would keep falling for douchebags.
Your “username” is awesome.
To add to the fire also a; Wife beater and racist.
and a compulsive liar
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
Wait, you mean he wasn’t going to be the original bass player for Metallica??? Lol
Don’t forget cheater. Sex tape.
Oh fuck. I forgot about Thiel helping him. No wonder he supports Trump. A damn circle.
The real scumbag Steve
giant human scab
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.
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?
Let’s also remember that Trump literally wrestled in WWE.
Well, he didn’t wrestle, he had bobby lashley as his proxy then gave Vince McMahon a hair cut, buuuut, Trump is in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
And just to make me feel better, here’s Stone Cold giving Trump a Stunner
Thank you. I will forever remember this moment and the House laughing at MTG as my favorite MAGA idiot moments.
So he didn’t wrestle but he gave Vince a clothesline?
Yes.
Excellent place to pick up on the skills to stealthily cut one’s ear during an exciting performance.
True. That was my peak wrestling watching era.
He didn’t wrestle, he did a few shitty spots with his friend and fellow rapist Vince.
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
I think you just asked a question and then immediately answered it
Sometimes i gotta type/ write it out to make it make sense

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.

You need to calm down. I haven’t watched wrestling in 20 years and hate the guy as a person. I’m just pointing out a fact and you’re foaming at the mouth

Because the C+ List celebs won’t touch weird creepy Donald Trump!

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.

How many of them got on Epstein’s plane?
Reminder that Trump himself is in photos with Epstein.
POV: you’re trump and elon
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.
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
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.

Casual misogyny. “I don’t hate women!” Doesn’t hate the idea of women serving men’s desires.
American 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.
“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.

English, do you speak it?
Yeah sorry about the typo. Unfortunately for you that doesn’t refute my argument
Sure it does lol
Fuck that hotdog colored pieces of trash. No clearer proof of there being no god then every time that traitor carney draws breath.
Or it’s proof that the creator of our universe is a Demiurge, a flawed reflection of God that only creates flawed things.
I’m kind of wanting to start a gnostic schism…
I mean yeah he’s totally a carny but don’t hate on carnies, they’re all carnies.
Actually come to think of it, I think most politicians are pretty much carnies at this point.
Going from town to town… Dishonest with the locals… Try to get as much money as they can… Hmmmmm
Smell like cabbage…
Small hands
Many. I don’t think most.
But many, and there are DEFINITELY the RUBES - carnies and rubes were made for each other.
well he was making more than all of them combined
