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 referencingwas 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.
Look BROTHA, it’s like this— The Hulkster is super rich and extremely racist, but mainly Hulkster just doesn’t wanna pay taxes
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.
So is Hercules, and the Walker Texas Ranger. It’s all disappointing.
MRW I’ve been comparing US politics to WWE for years
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.
Both Vince McMahon and Trump are also known for failed football leagues.

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.

Donald Trump makes his Undertaker entrance at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland on July 18, 2016.
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.”
We’re only 4 years from recreating Idiocracy. Hell we might already be there. Save us, Luke Wilson. You’re our only hope.
Some parts of the world are there, this one sure is.
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.
god, ever since I heard Hulk Hogan was a snitch I hated the guy. This just confirms he’s a shit pile.
Didn’t he kill gawker? That was pretty cool.
Not really. He was pretty much hired to do so by Peter Thiel.
It’s not like he wasn’t involved. They put themselves at massive liability by publishing his leaked sex tape then refusing to take it down. I can certainly believe thiel had alternative motives, but the fact that he bankrolled the lawsuit isn’t relevant to the merits of the lawsuit.
Also pretty fucked that they did that after taking such a hard stance against the fappening.
Hulk Hogan is a character, terry is just terry.
Terry is a piece of shit, the hulk is just a charicature they’re hired to speak and the hulk is not actually he’s reading a script they hired him to read.
It’s very stupid and Terry is also a massive shitstain but let’s be specific about who we’re shitting on and why.
He became his mask a long time ago. I doubt there’s any differentiation in his head.
Doesn’t matter, they didn’t pay Terry to show up they paid hulk Hogan who would say whatever you pay him to say because that’s literally his job.
It’s a very dumb difference but a legally viable one apparently.
Not just a snitch but iirc there’s been allegations he’s racist too for years now.
Not just allegations he’s on tape saying he doesn’t want his daughter to be with a Nword.
If, in the 2000s, you wrote a novel detailing the reality of the Trump presidency, campaign, his manipulation of SCOTUS & it’s subsequent rulings, I think it would have been rejected as farcical - pure sick fantasy. Trump world is grotesque and I feel like a lot of our media still hasn’t articulated just how fucked up all of this really is.
One step closer to Idiocracy.
What a fucking loser
Too bad he didn’t bring Heather Clem up with him.
Dear aliens,
If you’re reading this, please vaporize planet earth. There’s too much stupid here, we cannot be saved.
Wtf did I just watch haha why the hell haven’t I seen that before

Well I feel dirty now. Hogan was my hero when I was growing up. I was 100% a little Hulkster back in the day. The night he revealed he was joining nWo is seared into my mind. I honestly looked up to the guy. Turns out, all those times he played someone looking out for the little guy, the weak, those who couldn’t defend themselves… was 100% just acting.
This is 100% why they say, never meet your heroes. I am disappointed and my day is ruined.
Jesus fucking christ.
Do we get to call them Trumpamaniacs now?
I’ve been calling them Trumpanzees for years now.
Easy to spot with their red hat dunce caps!
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.
I believe Hogan has been known to be a massive piece of shit among wrestling fans for decades now. Some of the stories I’ve read about the dude… Not great.
Ric Flair might be the only bigger shithead
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.
I’ve hated Hogan since the 90s, when I found out what a cancer he was backstage at WCW. Didn’t help when I found out he’s the reason wrestlers don’t have a union.
For a lot of us fans, Hogan has been the devil way before we knew he was a racist POS.
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
John Dillermand is a Danish stop motion animated children’s television series about a man and his very long penis.
The series is aimed at four- to eight-year-olds
What the hell is going on over there?
Kids that age think a very long, prehensile penis is funny.
He doesn’t go around fucking things.
Bodily curiosity is good and penises are funny
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.
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.
Maybe, but Thiel didn’t sue them for outing him. He bankrolled someone else’s suit because he knew it would be much more damaging. And that is not how the system should work.
I thought he bankrolled hogan to out them for exposing his dick, though. I may be wrong.
The lawsuit that killed gawker was the hulk sex tape that they refused to take down. They were 100% wrong on that one.
