I have my own strange armchair theory about Hogan's racist statements. The short of it being, "Hulk Hogan doesn't actually hate black people, but he WILL tell the wife of an rear end in a top hat shock jock that he hates black people because he thinks that will make him look cool in the moment." It's still racism, but it's more in line with the sad way Hogan's mind works.

Plus part of it is that I just can't see him keeping that kind of behavior under wraps so well for years. He pissed off a lot of people and you'd think somebody would have referenced it against him.

Now this, THIS makes a lot more sense.

My favorite story about Hogan being a sociopath is when he had a match against Sting at a TNA PPV.

For months, TNA did a big round robin tournament, won by Bobby Roode. By winning, he would get a title shot at the Bound for Glory PPV. They spent all this time and energy building him up as the next champion and the big breakout star of the company. Fans were pumped for it. At the same time, champion Kurt Angle was barely holding together physically and desperately needed to drop the belt and take some time off.

Then at the PPV, Roode abruptly just... lost the match.

Why? Because the Sting vs. Hogan match ended with Hogan turning face and he didn't want Roode's coronation to overshadow that. So he used his creative control to sabotage Roode and screw everything up.

It's been a while since the Hogan racist stuff came out, and I don't care enough about it to research it, but I seem to remember a lot of it was in the context of his daughter Brooke dating a black man at the time. So my guess is that Hogan's one of those racists who are fine with other ethnicities existing as long as they don't try to date his own daughter white people.

Also let's not forget that Hogan was probably #3 in the category of "WWE star who's clearly sexually attracted to his own daughter", right behind Vince McMahon and Donald Trump.

Is it still accurate that non-top WWE talent has to pay their own airfare, zero time off, and have to file taxes in every state they wrestle as they are contractors? Also, is AEW better about that? Is the image of AEW not being as cruel accurate or are they still pretty bad?

Also what are the rough estimates for market share? Like does WWE have like 70%, AEW 20%, others 10%?

I don't know about the last part, but yeah. It was a thing where bringing in Hogan meant getting rid of one of the dynamic parts of TNA that really made them stick out as their own promotion, but apparently that ring had less give than your usual ring and absolutely sucked to take bumps on. Considering Hogan's body at that point, I can understand why he wanted to conform to a four-sided ring.

Are Hogan & Taker considered “ok” mentally? Wondering as Foley seems to be mostly ok but probably not 100%.

Other than the easy "they're assholes" route, there haven't been any real red flags with Hogan and Taker's mental health. Foley took a LOT of shots to the head, which is something those two didn't for the most part. Undertaker's legs are severely screwed up and Hogan's entire body is barely holding together.

He was fine with her dating a black guy if he was a millionaire basketball playing n-word, if memory serves.

Carnies and Evangelical churches have some striking similarities.

I recall Hogan talking on Bubba's show about the kid that Nick nearly killed in the auto accident. They had tape of Hogan saying that if Nick's friend had been Christian then maybe he would have not been harmed in the crash. I think it was recordings of Hulk talking to Nick while he was in jail.
