There was also the fact that Hogan ratted out the wrestlers attempts to unionise, leading directly to the terrible working conditions that persist to this day... All because he liked being paid the most.

There's a lot more to it, but these examples should begin to paint a picture of the kind of guy he is.

Fair enough. I wasn't including the unionization efforts because I thought that was after Andre's time, but it was a couple years before his retirement

Yeah - fair. As I said though, it all speaks to the kind of scumbag the guy is.
