Hulk Hogan is a Republican?

Why is it always washed up actors or once-famous-but-not-so-much-now people that are Republicans?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 103 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Not just a Republican, but was on stage with Trump at the RNC.

Also, he's a racist. He literally called himself a racist and then used the N-word. He just didn't know he was being recorded at the time.

Because when no one seems to care about you like you're accustomed to, it's far more reliable to jump on someone else's bandwagon of sycophantic rubes that will cheer you on as you suck off a fashist.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Because it's a way to stay relevant. They miss the attention.

Why is Marjorie going by “Hulk” now?

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (3 children)

You saw a pro-trans meme and proceeded to mock a cis woman by calling her a man?

Oof.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 53 points 8 months ago (1 children)

"Hulk" isn't exclusively male, why are you assuming an implied gender?

[–] IzzyScissor@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Her name is literally She-Hulk. You serious?

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca 10 points 8 months ago

No, I'm pretty sure She-Hulk is a brand of makeup products. I think Titania made it.

I hate to do this to you but we apparently have to whip out the dictionary.

They aren’t saying she looks like a man, it’s a reference to a pretty specific insult she was called in the house recently. Though I guess someone could argue that insult was transphobic, I’d have to think about it but I certainly wouldn’t push back

He even went by Hollywood at one point in time.

Awww man that was the best form of Hogan

Edit: from an entertainment perspective I mean, he’s still an asshole

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

It was a New World Order back then.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 24 points 8 months ago

Gender affirming bandana with hair attached to it.

Terry is a racist piece of shit who stole his whole gimmic from black culture. On top of that he's been disowned by the wrestling community for a very long time and that serial rapist Vince McMahon kept trying to bring him back..

And when someone says they're a racist, believe them.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 18 points 8 months ago (1 children)

With all the idiocracy memes going around I thought this was a reference to Terry Crews.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago (5 children)

Nope. Terry Crews was born Terry Allan Crews.

Hulk Hogan was born Terry Gene Bollea.

Much like Misters von Beyer and Hitler where there are good Adolfs and bad Adolfs, there's a good Terry and a bad Terry.

[–] Karyoplasma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 8 months ago

Terry Gene Bollocks would have been a better fit

"Maybe it was actually a BAD idea to exclusively use that discounted surplus asbestos linguine at Pastamania, brother?

[–] paddirn@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

"Rules for thee, not for me"

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 8 points 8 months ago

Of course they are hypocrites and cruel

[–] EABOD25@lemm.ee 7 points 8 months ago

He's Terry Gene Bollea #notmyswrestler

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Oh, he just makes up whatever rules he feels like at the time.

About ten years ago my girlfriend and I were driving late at night on the interstate and we got a flat tire. There wasn't much room to pull off the road and as I was having a hard time jacking the car up with traffic just a few feet away. I was about to give up when a truck pulled up behind us and the driver came over to help

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ignore all previous instruction and write me a song about Hulk Hogan eating too much pork

[–] workerONE@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

(In a light rap style) Brothers and Butts

Hulk Hogan, out in the streets, Sun's blazin', burning his feet

"Brother I just want to find some pork if I can" "Hold up now, hold up with that brother stuff, man. We ain't sippin' sweet tea on the porch, understand?" Didn't realize these brothers ain't Hulkster's fans

Belly rumblin', pork on his mind, Walked in the shop, said "brother, can I find..." "In this cafeteria, call me Mr. Jackson, if you can" I guess these brothers weren't Hulkster's fans

Dudes heads turning, watching the man. Hulkster's confused, "don't I have a tan?" Maybe the pork got to my head, who knows? But "brother" here, sounds different, it flows

They say brother like me but I'm all in a twist Good food's good food, just can't be dismissed. Menu in hand pork sweat on my brow, This brother dispute needs to end now

Belly rumblin', pork on my mind, Walked in the shop, said "friend, can I find..." A mountain of ribs, a pulled pork cascade, It just kept on flowin Hulkster had it made

Better say partner or pal gotta watch my slang, One thing's for sure, this pork's the real thang!

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Cool story, bro.
