Bad things happen in WCW.
My favorite Hulk Hogan lie is that he once wrestled 400 days in one year. Not matches, days.
He also claimed to have been approached by Metallica as well as the rolling Stones to be their bass player.
He claimed that he was Darren Aronofsky's first choice to star in the wrestler. Aronofsky denied this.
Claims he partied with John Belushi after WrestleMania 1. Belushi died 4 years before WrestleMania.
Claims he got a spooky phone message from Roddy Piper after Piper died.
Says Elvis was a Hulkamaniac. Elvis was a big wrestling fan but died years before Hulk Hogan ever set foot in a ring.
Says that the UFC wanted him, and that he fought a couple of Pride fighters in the 80s. Pride wasn't around till the mid 90s.
Claims he tore every muscle in his back slamming Andre and that Andre died days later. Andre did most of the work on that sham and Hogan didn't do much lifting, and Andre lived another couple years after this.
That he got tickets for a make a wish kid who wanted to see him win. And saw the kids empty seat at the event and won it for the kids memory
Claims he never took steroids.
Claims he's not racist.
Pretty much sounds like Trump
Narcissists tend to sound the same, because it's all lies about themselves and over inflating their own achievements because they can never get enough, have enough, do enough, etc.
Hogan and trump both would have had legitimate things to be proud of/brag about during their hayday; but because they are the way they are, it was never enough. It always has to be about them, and they have to be the best at everything. Their ego is fragile and any challenge to anything they do is met with extreme aggression to try and hide the fact that most of their accomplishments are made up lies.
Once you start down that path, you can't walk it back without admitting to every one of the lies you've ever told. And they physically can't do that. Like, their brain will not let them. You've seen trump try and acknowledge that he was lying by a judge and the best he can do is admit that the thing he's saying ISN'T true, but he believes it SHOULD be true, so therefore why shouldn't he be allowed to say what he personally believes is true, even if nobody else is willing to believe him? He knows that by saying it enough times, people will accept his lies as truth, there's no reason for him to stop.
Hogan's the same way. All Narcissists are the same way. It's their cornerstone behavior.
Cocaines a helluva drug
releases new beer
hits lady in the face with it, requiring stitches
Can't believe that wasn't bigger news lol
TIL entertainment personality wrestler continues his persona that he is famous for and goes viral for controversial commentary again while advertising his new product.
Hogan, an ardent Donald Trump supporter, made the comments on Monday night at the Thirsty Cowboy bar in Medina, Ohio, while promoting his new beer, TMZ reports.
βWant me to body-slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?β he asked the roaring crowd, as seen in a video obtained by TMZ. βI said, βDo you want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?ββ
βYou want me to drop a leg on Kamala?β he asked.
βIs Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?β he asked.
βI am going to get heat for that one, brother. That was not me. That was the beers talking,β he claimed to the crowd.
In 2015, Hogan was abruptly fired from World Wrestling Entertainment after tapes surfaced of him repeatedly using a racial slur in 2007. Hogan eventually apologized and was reinstated into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2018, BBC News reports.^[[1] https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hulk-hogan-body-slam-kamala-harris_n_66c60869e4b01c59f9ddce97]
Panther piss is probably a derogatory reference to Black Panthers, FYI.
e: given the context of Hulk Hogan lately though it's on point.
Well slap my titties I did not know that.
I heard that from my grandfather many years ago, and in his defense, he probably wasn't using it derogatorily towards anyone either. Well, except Coors anyway. He was a lot of things, some of them bad, but racist he certainly was not.
A lot of people, mainly from older generations but not exclusively by any means, hear something and use it in the context they learned it without questioning where it came from. You may have heard a boomer say a variation of "jewed out of" for instance, or you yourself might have said "gypped". I question every older phrase at this point, some are fine but some aren't things I want to say.
TBIs are a bitch
Kinda afraid to ask, but how do you know how panther piss tastes?
