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

[-] Fredthefishlord 22 points 3 days ago

I'm sure the cte helps

[-] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 27 points 3 days ago

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

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 31 points 3 days ago

3 racists didn't like this.

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

I had the same experience. From little Hulkamaniac to fucking disappointed and disgusted adult finding out how big of a piece of shit he was.

[-] xSUPRNOVA@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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.

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 3 days 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.

Yeah, a real shame Ozzy died. RIP.

[-] Zedd_Prophecy@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days 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 3 days 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.

[-] lmdnw@lemmy.world 18 points 3 days ago

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

[-] soooma@feddit.uk 4 points 3 days 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.

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

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

Lifestyle choices can vastly shift the odds, though.

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days 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.

[-] skozzii@lemmy.ca 10 points 3 days ago

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

[-] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

i feel that you can separate the Hulk Hogan character from the man Terry Bogan, and feel sorrow for the loss of one and maybe a bit of grim satisfaction for the other

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 days ago

I don't know that he had that many layers.

Feel loss of nostalgia maybe

[-] SoleInvictus 10 points 3 days ago

He was a two layered onion: onion on the outside, rotten onion on the inside.

[-] crazycraw@crazypeople.online 18 points 3 days ago
[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

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

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days 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 2 days ago

Him, Andre, and Randy Savage are carpooling.

[-] knatschus@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 days ago

And he can't hurt you anymore.

[-] ohshit604@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 days ago

Hulkamania has finally come to an end, rest in piece chief.
