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
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.
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.
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
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 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
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.
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).
I know this is a digression from the topic but, what's with the word 'cuck'? I've never understood why people are called 'cucks' as an insult. My understanding is that it's short for cuckold and that's always seemed weird to me because if a guy gets cheated on by his partner I don't automatically think less of them for having that happen to them. There's another, I assume more modern, sense of the word where 'cuck' is referring instead to a fetish where a guy likes seeing their partner have sex with others. But like, if that's the sense of the word being used when someone is derisively called a 'cuck' as an insult then it makes even less sense than the more traditional meaning of the word because if they're in to that, then surely they're unlikely to feel particularly ashamed or upset about people calling them that because it's just... accurate.
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.
A lot of celebrities became shitbags, unfortunately. The most disappointing IMO was JK Rowling. My sisters loved the Harry Potter universe, but soured on it after it was reveled Rowling was a huge nazi shithead.
He's Peter Thiel's plaything ever since he bankrolled his suit against Gawker.
Fucking Thiel is set to take over the world. Him and his old buddies Musk and Zuck.
It's soooooo fucking obvious, too. These guys are legit the globalist elite that the conservatives have warned about for decades and they are fleecing them while they beg for more. How the fuck did we get here?
"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."
