This is a factually accurate meme lol! He ratted out Jesse "The Body" Ventura for trying to start a wrestlers union way back in 1986!
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 also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.
A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?
