I'm actually surprised and encouraged by some of the push back I'm seeing from people over this "honoring" Hogan stuff. :ehh:

As for the whole "I separate the character (Hulk) from the man (Terry Bolea)" excuse :stopitslime: I mean... to each their own, but it couldn't be me.

For example I can't watch a Seinfeld re-run because as soon as "Kramer" comes on, all I remember is the actor (Michael Richards) screaming "He's a ******!" just because he got heckled at a comedy show.

It's ok to let go of some childhood memories brehs. Some things are more important than nostalgia.

It's a weird dynamic because many people are treating Hulk Hogan and Terry Bollea as the same person.

If you're gonna give Hulk Hogan a pass bc of what that CHARACTER did for wrestling, that has nothing to do with Terry Bollea.

Hulk Hogan character took pictures with Black talent, black fans, etc. Hulk Hogan loved the Hulkamaniacs. Terry Bollea's words don't seem to have aligned with any of what Hulk Hogan character stood for.

But in the end, the world knew him as Hulk so I guess that's why we're hearing and seeing the things we are

If wwe out up a Hulk Hogan banner in every arena similar to the Wrestlemania banner everyone points at, for the rest of the year, how would that be received?
They would take them banners up with the quickness b/c WWE would catch hell from the fanbase.

What gets me is that all these idiots strip it all the way down to "just a word" instead of looking at the entirety of the shyt he said and the context. Like people are fukking stupid.
Exactly, He was saying how much he couldn't stand black people. These c00ns are crying over him and he wouldn't lift a finger to help them. Also they guy trying to use R Kelly as a comparison forgot one thing, and that's a function is a personal event. No radio stations outside of Sirius are playing R Kelly music, and his legacy is pretty much washed.
