There is nothing more pathetic than a man that parrots the left's whole "LOVE CONQUERS ALL" messaging.

Whoa, you mean people are complicated and it's dumb just to stick people in "good person" or "bad person" boxes? Are you fucking 8 years old? "May you find in your passing what you missed in your journey here"? What kind of milquetoast, condescending message is that? I wish it was 20 years ago and it was still socially acceptable to call people posting messages like this gigantic faggots.

I guess telling Shane he is a dimeless vanilla midget shitter isn't cool:

"Thank you, Logan"
Credit where credit is due, that was a good heel work.

Yes perfect heel work while also really respectful to Hulkster. Hulk would have loved that shit- it was like he was alive and Logan was taunting his character therefore still including Hogan in the current wrestling story.

Logan gained a lot of points with me in these last couple of days. He was one of the only non-cowardly wrestlers who said any tribute on social media.

PLUS he wore all black while staying in character in respect of a dead legend.

What a world when Logan Paul-- of all fucks-- is one of the most respectful people in the room. Wild.
 
To me, Paul is like Shawn Michaels '95. He's a great athlete working with good producers, but I wouldn't leave myself or anyone (or anything) I cared for alone in his presence. This includes trusting any product or service associated with him. But in a wrestling ring, he's always worth watching.

He ended up in the barrel over his suicide forest video years ago.

He knows that trying to bow and scrape to "atone" to the Internet is a waste of time and effort and you'll actually come out of most scandals better if you just make a half-hearted apology and move on with your life.
 
Seeing 48 hours of rampant Hogan hatred has been the most amusing shitstorm since Gamergate. I just spared you all from having to see a full blown autistic rant on everything I could think of - This section is all I saved:

I am so damn tired of the mythological Hulk Hogan Unionbuster. I think Jesse Ventura is one of the best commentators next to Gorilla Monsoon but that asshole’s main character syndrome is tiresome.
How the hell can you be a fan of wrestling and imagine any scenario where Vince would have allowed a union to encroach on his business? I mean what are we imagining here a union with collective bargaining, the ability to go on strike? Vince would have fired every wrestler before letting any of that happen. For crying out loud Ted Turner was as liberal as US Billionaires get and no whispers of a Union were mentioned in the WCW.

Jesse equates his dream wrestlers union to the NFL Players Union. He’s ignoring the NFL/MLB/NHL is made up of franchised teams owned by different rich independently wealthy businessmen. I assume that Players Unions for sports has a benefit for owners too in that everything is standardized making player trading and contracts a streamlined process. Note that the individual sports NASCAR, Professional Golf, Boxing/MMA are not unionized!

TL;DR: I think spergs like me will be arguing over the legacy of Hulk for years to come. And I welcome it because Hulk is fascinating. But don’t tell me Hulk prevented a Wrestlers Union. Hulk’s story of being offered to play Bass for Metallica is more plausible.

The Lapsed Fan Podcast has some interesting coverage going over his post-WWE in-ring years covering the spinal surgery lawsuit and painstakingly covering his full TNA run. I recommend it if people want more coverage of that time period of his life (2005-2013)

Hulk’s appearances on Howard Stern are really good during that era.
They show a pic of Hulk’s back and wow Hulk did a great job of hiding it.

Hulk is very much candid in this short clip. He lost a lot of money from the divorce with Linda along with the lawsuit stemming from Nick’s drunk driving.

One of the newest YouTube comments for that video is someone cracking “How does a wrestler who hardly took any bumps wind up with back issues?” And it’s just funny because there really are lots of casual viewers and smarks who don’t get that even Hogan’s 90s-2000s style wrestling will take a horrific toll on the body. The Atomic Legdrop did look lazy but damn could you imagine falling on your ass onto plywood?
 
You could add bodyslamming big fat dudes he was feuding with (King Kong Bundy, One Man Gang, Big Boss Man circa 89, Earthquake etc.) to the list of back problems. There's Andre too of course, but I don't think they had a big house show run, it was all on TV.

He lost to a powder spot that they did not catch on camera and then the ref counted three super fast and we didn’t see a single one of the counts.

He gets a lot of valid criticism for being a total piece of shit IRL but in this instance he’s being respectful and as someone whose viewed as an outsider by the IWC it really says a lot about how he likely views the industry, speaking of Logan I always find it funny about how Smarks think is in-ring work is bad, it’s rare to see someone be that consistent in his in-ring ability that early in his career

You could tell on day one that Travis Scott was total garbage and they had him debut on the PLE with Rock and Cena. Meanwhile Logan Paul is showing up to Raw & Smackdown regularly getting booed without saying a single word and his matches are entertaining.

If I were in charge I would troll the hell out of Paul haters and make them think Logan would defeat Cena for the belt. I would have Logan cut the cheesiest promo acting as if he was a Babyface you’re supposed to root for.

And I mean I get why Logan and Jake are hated, they’re obnoxious grifters. Cena would still have to win of course and drop the belt to someone the audience loves. But having the audience fear the worst thing will happen is how you entertain.

I knew the Travis Scott stuff wasn't going to work out of the gate with his awkward reveal on the first Netflix Raw. "Fein" starts playing and the camera pans to him in the audience, smoking a blunt ,and having no idea he's on the planet Earth before Michael Cole shouts "WHAT A MOMENT!".

Travis Scott sucks in general. It's so weird seeing generations of broccoli-heads call him a "genius" when his songs are just typical flex rap but mumbled over autotune.
 
I decided to honor The Hulkster's memory last night by re-watching No Holds Barred.

It's incredibly silly and ridiculous, but damned if it ain't also HILARIOUS.

checked his twitter, not yet, I doubt he will since its a cardinal sin to show respect to anyone who said the Nigger Word to AEW Fans

He almost injured their top guy 5 weeks before WrestleMania, he's a fucking retard, I am cool with celebrities being in the crowd or whatever but for fucks sake dont have people like him getting physical with the talent, speaking of which I wonder how Jelly Roll will do teaming with Orton at Summerslam, im sure Orton will do most of the heavy lifting with Jelly coming in for a couple of entertaining spots, Rednecks love Jelly Roll and they are among WWEs biggest consumer base so it makes sense for WWE to have him there
