Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Hulk Hogan has a softball sized lump of scar tissue in his ass from constant steroid injections.
I learned that, how you have to too
Hulk Hogan was the one who ratted out Jesse Ventura when the Jesse brought up the idea of unionizing to the wrestlers.

Same here. I should have paid more attention to Andre.
I never watched wrestling, but Andre seemed like a nice guy when I heard about him on the vince mcmahon behind the bastards. Hulk sounded like he sucked.
Andre the Giant was great in The Princess Bride.
Hulk Hogan sucked in Gremlins 2: The New Batch.
My dad used to run into him regularly when he worked as airport security in the 70s. He was a fantastic kind man with an incredible sense of humor. My dad had lots of good stories about him that he used to tell me about. So, another data point to back up your thinking.

I've never been a fan of wrestling but I loved Andre. From everything I've seen and heard, he was the nicest guy you could hope to meet. There are some great stories about him out there too. There's video of Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about a time when he and Andre were arguing over who would pay the check at a restaurant and Andre literally picked Arnold up and put him on a piece of furniture. And another similar occasion with Andre and Wilt Chamberlain. The Cary Elwes book, As You Wish, about the making of The Princess Bride has a lot of stories about Andre from the cast too. It's well worth the read if you're a fan of the movie.

I was never much of a Hulkamanic, but I was a huge fan of the Ultimate Warrior who turned out to be a huge decroded piece of crap too. My all time favorite though was always Rowdy Roddy, and my second favorite was Da Maniac, but the one time I met him he kept calling me the N-word and gave me a bucket of acorns.
For anyone who isn't a wrestling fan, Hogan is universally hated by most fans and people in the business these days. He's a racist, a backstabber, union buster, sexual deviant, and a pathological liar. He will lie about the most easily disproved bullshit. He's a perfect example of Trump's fanbase.
How very disgusting, this Mr. Hogan!
Notorious racist and wife beater Hulk Hogan, threatens to physically assault a black woman. Nope not surprised at all..

He was like my AllMight as a kid.
Fucking sad. I hate all that time wasted even as a hobby. Piece of crap.
Mr Hogan, is a racist, union busting piece of shit.
God another one that can't tell Indian from Native?
Just a reminder, that while under oath in court, Hogan said this:
Hulk Hogan has a 10 inch penis. Terry Bollea does not…no I do not have a 10 inch penis”
Which is a really weird thing to have to clarify one of your lies in court. Essentially he's saying his fictional character, whose penis you never need to think about, ever, is 10 inches. However he himself the real individual does not. And he was asked to clairify this because video surfaced of his best friend filming him having sex with his best friends wife. And his penis clearly wasn't 10 inches.
Totally normal and not weird 🤡
Not a surprising move from Peter Thiel's best friend. Pretty much in line with what his puppet Vance said.
Trash. Ignorant trash.
Hulky. Buddy. Just go wrank off to some AI pics of her like all the others like you are doing
Secret service, are you listening?
I'm always quite surprised the Hulk Hogan is still alive. He and most of the other 80s/90s wrestlers ploughed through cocaine like Scarface, and I expected his heart to have exploded long ago.
ric flair thanking his lucky stars that he's no longer the most embarrassing 80s wrestler anymore
We all know how big of a racist prick he his, so yeah, no surprise. This clown needs to go away. He was a hero and now he's just pathetic.
you know... I bet Kamala could actually take him in a fight. just saying.
what a despicable piece of trash, though. I feel like these comments are worth a visit from the Secret Service or FBI or whoever handles threats to VP's/Pres Candidates.
He tried for Kamela Chameleon and instead discovered the Karma chameleon: Hulk’s has definitely come and gone.
I tried to post that Andre the Giant newspaper clipping on Facebook and they told me it goes against community standards and if I continued to post it I would be reprimanded.
Mr Hogan has hit his head one time too many. Go take a nap grandpa!
Just to make things clear:
hogan did not have a high flying style where he was constantly being spiked on his head. Even his famously "amazing" wrestling in Japan was basically just a bit of grappling and submission work.
This is not something like benoit where an infamously violent and impulsive bully suffered enough concussions (and steroid abuse) that he snapped and murdered his family.
No. hogan's debilitating injuries and constant pain is because he kept jumping up and landing on his tailbone. His stupidity?
He is just really fucking stupid and always has been.

Remember when Hulk used to rip his shirt off, and he didn’t have to cover his gross old body with another shirt?
Maybe Hulkster shouldn't be mentioning race considering racial stuff pretty much made him persona non grata in pro wrestling for years.
Another washed up nobody.
The fact that grown adults find this performance at a political rally appealing is proof enough there isn't enough in that room to add up to 70 IQ
