Hulk Hogan is a Republican?

Why is it always washed up actors or once-famous-but-not-so-much-now people that are Republicans?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 102 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Not just a Republican, but was on stage with Trump at the RNC.

Also, he's a racist. He literally called himself a racist and then used the N-word. He just didn't know he was being recorded at the time.

Because when no one seems to care about you like you're accustomed to, it's far more reliable to jump on someone else's bandwagon of sycophantic rubes that will cheer you on as you suck off a fashist.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

Because it's a way to stay relevant. They miss the attention.

All shit-sloshing gutters eventually end at the RNC. It's like the famous section of that classic poem from the old gop poet, No-wokeius Bartholomew Pussyhound III:

"Give me your washed up, your publicly disgraced and purposefully-undereducated, your convicted masses yearning to molest underage boys in churches and motels while wearing flag shirts... I'm gonna scare those goofy fuckers into giving me money by talking almost exclusively in acronyms that they don't understand, but are terrified of!"

Hulk Hogan has always been a piece of shit. Always. Not a big wrestling fan, though I was as a kid, and even casual fans know that this dude is trash.

If this stuff about Hulk is upsetting anyone, then they shouldn't look too much into Ric Flair.

He even went by Hollywood at one point in time.

Awww man that was the best form of Hogan

Edit: from an entertainment perspective I mean, he’s still an asshole

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

It was a New World Order back then.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

Gender affirming bandana with hair attached to it.

Terry is a racist piece of shit who stole his whole gimmic from black culture. On top of that he's been disowned by the wrestling community for a very long time and that serial rapist Vince McMahon kept trying to bring him back..

And when someone says they're a racist, believe them.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

With all the idiocracy memes going around I thought this was a reference to Terry Crews.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago (5 children)

Nope. Terry Crews was born Terry Allan Crews.

Hulk Hogan was born Terry Gene Bollea.

Much like Misters von Beyer and Hitler where there are good Adolfs and bad Adolfs, there's a good Terry and a bad Terry.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 months ago

Terry Gene Bollocks would have been a better fit

"Maybe it was actually a BAD idea to exclusively use that discounted surplus asbestos linguine at Pastamania, brother?

The brief window where trump had a functioning brain closed in 1981, and he's been coasting on fumes ever since.

"Rules for thee, not for me"

He's Terry Gene Bollea #notmyswrestler

Hulk Hogan is almost the single reason why wrestlers don't have a union and aren't offered the same protections as other entertainers. He's truly human garbage.

Oh, he just makes up whatever rules he feels like at the time.

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 4 points 3 months ago

Of course they are hypocrites and cruel
