      Remember when his drunken piece of shit kid killed someone and Hulk Hogan Said it was probably karma?

        I thought he killed someone too, but now all I can find is that he left somebody brain damaged to the point of needing lifetime care. Fuck Mandela

        Edit: According to SRS Hogan stated the guy and his family should live their second life as black people for karma

    I don’t know if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n****s. But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever. I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*****.

    – Hulk Hogan, who was taken out of the Wrestling Hall of Fame for three whole years after he was recorded saying that.

    And then Peter Thiel, pissed that Gawker outed him, bankrolled Hogan’s lawsuit which took them down. I remember lots of people on Reddit regarded it as a victory because Gawker sucked, which it did. They didn’t care that a billionaire found a way to destroy a media outlet that told people something about him that he didn’t want them to know.

    Peter Thiel is, of course, also a big Republican supporter.

    Hogan is famously a liar of epic proportions and shut down a potential wrestlers union in the 80s. I know many of us were hulkamaniacs at some point but he’s a piece of shit.

    I haven’t kept up with ole Stone Cold but last I checked he was threatening people online for being racist and homophobic. So if you want a decent person that was once at the top of the business he’s a better choice

    Edit: I should add that I know Austin beat his wife when he was king of WWE but seems to have changed his ways and bettered himself. Doesn’t excuse that he did it but like I said he’s about the best in the wrestling business

    god, ever since I heard Hulk Hogan was a snitch I hated the guy. This just confirms he’s a shit pile.

      Hulk Hogan is a character, terry is just terry.

      Terry is a piece of shit, the hulk is just a charicature they’re hired to speak and the hulk is not actually he’s reading a script they hired him to read.

      It’s very stupid and Terry is also a massive shitstain but let’s be specific about who we’re shitting on and why.

          Doesn’t matter, they didn’t pay Terry to show up they paid hulk Hogan who would say whatever you pay him to say because that’s literally his job.

          It’s a very dumb difference but a legally viable one apparently.

      Another connection is Vince McMahon and his wife, both of which are right wing pieces of trash. Linda herself served in the previous Trump administration.

    You keep seeing peter thiels name here, right… Weird, huh.

    j.d. vance is thiel’s longtime lap puppy and trump’s new VP pick after trying to have the old one publicly executed.

    thiel is also at PayPal with elon. peter is like the “cool senior” at high school with the upturned collar when elon musk is a freshman. Thiel says to elon one day, “hey Elmo, carry my books to class.” elon enthusiastically complies and while his hands are full, thiel takes all of the blood emeralds out of elon’s pockets, pantses him in front of his crush, and then says, “now say thank you daddy, for letting my little weiner see the sunshine, Elmo” elon complies, pants around his ankles, and then thiel pushes elon over, and drives away with his crush, as they both laugh at elon. Elon then says to himself, “Man, that guy is so cool.” Right as vance is confined as VP pick, Elmo (who said earlier this year that he wouldn’t donate to either trump or biden) just started “donating” $45 million dollars a month to trump in perpetuity.

    Are you starting to see who’s in charge?

    You should learn more about potential shadow president thiel.

      Oh man, we’re gonna get an Idiocracy world where porn is illegal, not one where you can get a handjob at the Costco Starbucks 😢

      As someone else once said and I am paraphrasing uncredited because I don’t remember who they are: “In the Idiocracy universe, when they discovered a man who was smarter than everyone else, they put him in charge of stuff. That makes it a wiser world than our own”.

    Wait, you mean that the union-busting, back-stabbing, “I got mine,” racist piece of shit supports Trump???

    Well, now I’m offended!
