So, as someone growing up in the '80s, I followed Hulk Hogan and I had no idea that he was that reviled that far back.  I guess it's hard to imagine that everyone involved in an entertainment act like professional wrestling isn't in on it and that the point is about having a great story that, much like a soap opera, everyone contributes to as team.  It seems, though that Hogan was in it just for himself.  There's a Slate article (I won't link to because of pay wall and all that) in which the writer talks about all of the bridges he burned while he was still wrestling.  He fucked over Bret Hart at Wrestlemania IX and Stink four years later.  He ratted out Jesse Ventura when he was trying to organize wrestlers into a union.  He did whatever he could to promote himself at the expense of his fellow wrestlers.  Ultimately, it's not all that shocking given Hogan's recent use of Trump and MAGA to regain some of his notoriety, but it is unexpected and it strips him of the greatness he supposedly earned at the height of his popularity.

I've been enjoying the low key trolling of the IWC by the Jim Cornette YouTube channel because everyone in the comment section of his latest videos are crying because he has yet to upload a video about Hulk Hogan. You what would be hilarious? If he uploads videos about Ozzy Osbourne, Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Chuck Magione before Hulk Hogan that would make my day :LithiumSmileyLaugh:
