    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.

      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.

        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
