As a Pro Wrestler myself, its so sad seeing how pathetic Hulk has been in his life. His Daughter just detailed a history of abuse from Hulk and Linda (ex wife), Hulk routinely lies about literally everything and anything (Being bassist for Metallica, George Foreman Grill Origin, Hulkamaniacs with Cancer dying before shows he never wrestled at), is openly racist to a degree, has brought shame to the Wrestling business, and he even stopped a wrestler's union from starting thanks to turning on (former Gov of Minnesota) Jesse "The Body" Ventura

That scab is how he lost his hair.

Yea he's been somewhat called on that one because it's so completely insane but he has amended his lie over the years. First he claimed he was friends with Lars and was asked to join when Cliff Burton died in 87. Then it was that he was asked to join when Jason Newsted left in 2000. Then it was that he claimed he sent them an audition tape but didn't hear back. I can't remember if he claimed they asked him for an audition tape or if he just sent them one.

There's video clips of James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich being asked about this and they seem as perplexed as anyone else by Hogan making the claim lol

Extremely depressing as I absolutely loved him as a kid back in the 80s.

Here's a short list of some of the absolutely batshit insane, hilarious and easily disproven lies that Hulk has told over the years featuring American Treasure, Jim Cornette

Part 1

Part 2

Enjoy, brother!

brought shame to the industry that’s never done anything shameful or ridiculous.

really dude?

u/No-One7813 16h ago

Im not ever going to deny the various terrible things that have happened in the industry and I will also not act like Hogan is the worst person In the business, but there's a reason modern wrestling fans boo him and cheer all the other legends, including Ric Flair

You're right. It's for the dems to force yet another deeply unpopular neolib candidate. Third time's the charm!

u/MHath 1d ago

I’m not of the opinion that a progressive couldn’t win. She couldn’t though.

No evidence

u/Rhine1906 1d ago

Her last name is Ocasio fucking Cortez and she’s been made the boogeyman in the same way the right did with Hillary from 1993 to 2016. You’re living in delusion if you think the same people who are raging about the Black man and rejected the Black and Indian woman are going to just go crazy over the Hispanic woman!

If you haven’t seen that as part of the issue then you might be a bit blind bud

u/Sinister_Politics 1d ago

That's not evidence. That's you misunderstanding why Clinton and Harris lost

u/pablonieve Minnesota 1d ago

What evidence would you require exactly?

u/Embarrassed-Track-21 1d ago

You might not recognize this because you are probably her target demographic, but her affect is pretty annoying. And I’m like quite the opposite of a right winger.

u/Sinister_Politics 21h ago

Guess you'll vote for Hitler then

u/KiwiThunda 1d ago

Mm, best not to try something different, let's see if neolib AIPAC candidates will work next time, again

u/Aromatic-Air3917 1d ago

Yeah, that would be like a party running a failed business man, adulterer, and reality show star with dementia.

Or a B movie actor with dementia.

u/dedicated-pedestrian Wisconsin 1d ago

But they're not exactly wrong. The House-to-Presidency pipeline is not one with a good track record. You typically become a Senator if only to have it in your resumé (even if you don't serve very long like Obama).

u/MHath 1d ago

Doesn’t change the fact she’d lose.

u/ritchie70 Illinois 1d ago edited 1d ago

It would be Hillary all over again.

Yeah, let’s pick a Democratic woman that the right has spent years vilifying. Great fucking plan.

Moderate white man. I hate it but I think it’s true.

To the point that if it looks like she’s going to win the primary I’m going to start donating to the least MAGA Republican candidate.

I also think AOC might be another Obama. Great speaker, not sure how much substance.

u/Therealdealphil 1d ago

AOC's consistent messaging has been we have to work towards advancing the working class.  Are you billionaire?

u/mzzrdoes 1d ago

not after this disaster
