giant human scab

To add to the fire also a; Wife beater and racist.

So, ticks all the boxes to be a conservative role model

The original Orange Man, if you will.

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

I always thought he more closely resembled and overcooked hotdog

[–] MrJameGumb@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Wait, you mean he wasn't going to be the original bass player for Metallica??? Lol

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!

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Better to be a heel than a scab.

[–] grte@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago

Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.

A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 0 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

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.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

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.

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.

[–] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 0 points 3 months ago

Did not know there was a BtB about Vince McMahon. I'll have to check that out

"shut up and wrestle" Oh wait he's not black

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (8 children)

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

[–] Drunemeton@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] akilou@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think you just asked a question and then immediately answered it

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Sometimes i gotta type/ write it out to make it make sense

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?

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Let’s also remember that Trump literally wrestled in WWE.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

He didn't wrestle, he did a few shitty spots with his friend and fellow rapist Vince.

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.

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.

When the world seems full of Hogans, look to the Andre the giants instead. Or something

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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.

Y'all just made cause the RNC had an American icon and the DNC has the leader of the Oral Office.

[–] Floodedwomb@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

American icon 😂

[–] Hegar@fedia.io 0 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] CoolBurner@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah sorry about the typo. Unfortunately for you that doesn't refute my argument

[–] DarkDecay@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Sure it does lol

"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.

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.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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).

[–] nobleshift@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (4 children)

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.
