"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****r."

  • Terry Bolea (Hulk Hogan)

Buddy. You're a whole lot more racist than I am.

Hmm, must not be a nice person then

It is gratifying, however, that last Thursday is, in addition to the day of Hogan’s death, the 10th anniversary of the National Enquirer’s publishing audio of Hogan going on an n-word-laden tirade.

Interesting that the national enquirer was breaking news and informing people about who somebody truly is. I wonder what other information they held 10 years ago that we never found out about. 🤔

[-] RestrictedAccount@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

Ask Trump. He and The Enquirer had a long relationship of “catch and kill” for stories detrimental to Trump.

It smells a lot like extortion.

Not directly relevant, but back in the '80s two of my cousins grew up in Lantana FL, where the National Enquirer used to have its headquarters. Hilariously, the Enquirer sponsored a little league baseball team there and my two cousins were on the team. It was always weird to see them with their National Enquirer baseball jerseys on.

Congratulations Hulk. You are going to remembered first for things outside the ring.

I just finished watching a video from the GOAT Star Trek YouTuber Steve Shives on his eventual realization what a scumbag his childhood hero turned out to be. He's one of the good ones, Steve is, check it out! https://youtu.be/Jq3pdXIQnfM

Holy shit. Haven't seen Steve in forever. He's a Star Trek YouTuber now? Crazy.

Edit: just checked his channel. I guess it's been longer than I thought. He's done Star Trek content for years. Time is weird.

[-] sarcasticsunrise@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Another Steve Shives fan!? Holy shit! There are dozens of us! I just started watching him maybe 5 years ago, but I love the dude. He's been doing a lot of political commentary stuff in that span of time as well and yeah, the man is a G. He's very earnest but also speaks his mind with no fuck given and I can't find an instance I've disagreed with him

[-] xSUPRNOVA@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I used to watch his critiques of Christian literature. Dude wears many hats. Lol

I remember when Hulk Hogan got hurt, but I never thought the entire act was a fake. I’d always presumed that it was a legit injury from a performance mistake because a dangerous move was either served or received incorrectly, and the marketing machine just used this turn of events to its advantage.

My little brother was genuinely concerned and sent him a letter. If the injury was faked, coercing young fans into a letter writing campaign is pretty shitty.

Unfortunately, a lot of wrestlers are Republicans. When the bosses are also MAGA, it's a pretty toxic environment.

[-] Fredthefishlord@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 1 year ago

I'm sure the cte helps

[-] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

D list actors is what they are.

[-] Strider@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Yeah, a real shame Ozzy died. RIP.

I hope his last moment was immensely painful as his heart gave out and ruptured. Rest in piss, Terry.

[-] soooma@feddit.uk 0 points 1 year ago

I hope your last moment is peaceful and full of love. Even if you've done some bad things. You don't get to pick much that determines the ride.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

You can pick not being a union busting, life ruining, nazi, these are just a few of the many things within all of our control. Fuck universalism, he was a terrible fucking human being on a level of conscious choice.

[-] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago

You don’t get to pick much that determines the ride.

Lifestyle choices can vastly shift the odds, though.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

This guy was a brain addled douche nozzle. If their is an afterlife I hope he is continually being pile driven by Andre the giant. Like Sisyphus but sweatier.

[-] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

It’s always sad when your childhood heros turn to be assholes. I wish I had been in Ultimate Warrior’s corner in Wrestlemania VI.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

No wonder he’s a polished turd the right wing loves.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago

His legacy is trash, and he is responsible for the hate.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

The iron sheik is getting ready to travel to hell to put that son of a bitch hulk hogan in a camel clutch one more time.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Him, Andre, and Randy Savage are carpooling.

[-] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

All I can say is that he brought enough joy to my childhood that I will not add his grave to my list of bathroom break stops when road tripping across the US.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I can agree with this. It was a real shame he turned out to be such a shitheel.

[-] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

And he can't hurt you anymore.
