Here’s another example of a fuckwit “celebrity” who just couldn’t keep their shit opinions to themselves & now they’re going to get absolutely drug for the next few months, their lives (hopefully) turned upside down.
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).
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
Randy Savage started his WWF career as a heel. Initially, he didn't have a manager, so a bunch of heel managers would attend his squash matches and marvel at how amazing he was ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBIXztSSNr0 ). Then after a few matches and promos, he finally announced that he had chosen a manager: Miss Elizabeth ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_G1iMUbbBs )
(In reality, I'm pretty sure he and Elizabeth were a package deal; she would be slated to be his manager/valet before he came to the WWF)
He definitely seemed like a good, genuine dude and someone that was good at most every aspect of pro wrestling (maybe not as technical as Brett Hart, but who is?) regardless, though.
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.
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
I think a lot of has beens hitch onto whatever they think will pull them back into the spotlight. Trump is easily manipulated like that. Compliment him and if he retreats you, you've got a million new followers
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?
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.
Could be a generational move. I grew up on Hulk Hogan (from preteen to early teenage years). So those of my generation would be pulled in by these "old and irrelevant" people.
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.
That dude ain't selling shit out. He may still be popular with wrestling fans from the 90s/80s ( older folks) and may draw a decent crowd but i promise you he isnt popular with todays youth.
I wasn't trying to hurt the hulksters feelers but it seems like I hurt yours. You ok bud?
When the world seems full of Hogans, look to the Andre the giants instead. Edit: Oh and throw them off hell in a cell, plummeting 16ft through an announcer's table
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.
"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."
