Fear can be a good teacher, and Bad News Brown was a professor on such things.

I want CNN to cover this on Anderson Cooper and have Iron Sheik as a talking head guest.
Cooper "So Iron Sheik, what are your thoughts on Hulk Hogan tonight?"
Iron Sheik "Hulk Hogan...almost as bad as Brian Blair...what a jobrony son of a bitch!"

While both things are bad, it's one thing when someone like Andre says it, another when
Says it. Hogan is wrestling even to people who don't know what wrestling is, so the weight of his words is a lot heavier in comparisons.
Take yo vitameans, say yo prayarse, screw other men's wives, *racist insults*

Didn't Taker cheat on his wife with Michelle McCool? Definitely not as bad as Hogan and Benoit and others but not purely good IIRC.

I think the poster just meant Anthony had (has?) very quick wit that he's displayed on his live radio show that is now overshadowed by his pretty blatant racism.

They were long since done when Mark started dating Michelle.

That's...a very weird conversation he was having. I mean he says he feels his daughter "jumped sides" on him cause...what, she had some black dude supposedly help with her music career? And then goes on to ponder about his adult daughter's sex life....why.
The way Hogan always interacted about his daughter was....slightly troubling. I half expected a scandal from it one day.

There's more scandal to come apparently too. Hold on to your butts.
The jumped sides thing hopefully was just a reference to him no longer managing her, but combine it with the racist crap and it almost sounds like he's referring to her not being on the "white is right" side.

At least I still have good guy Hacksaw Jim Duggan to hold on to when it comes to childhood professional wrestling heroes!
Something's weird with this image. He looks like one of those G.I. Joes with the rubber-band off-centered.
OK off topic but there is a great animated version of that story here, narrated by the Iron Sheik:

I stand corrected.

How so?
You shouldn't assume people have changed because they typically do not change. It is nonsensical to assume the far less likely case occurred.

Please don't tell me that Bubba the Love Sponge is a racist too. I don't know if my heart could handle that.

I love wrestling promos where they would sometimes have their back to the camera.

What has The Rock done wrong?
Because it's the same Vince McMahon who directs segments like this:
What wrestler is this? Vince is so stupid, lol.
Hopefully he didn't yell out Brooke's name during...

I'm going to regret asking this, but is there any dirt on Bret Hart? Please say no...

What the hell is Foley talking about? A mistake? Get out of here with that nonsense.

Manager named Slick.
He just "happened" to be a "jive-talking" black man who liked to eat fried chicken.
Oh, and he managed a white guy who pretended to be black:
And this guy:
What's the problem?

Didn't his sister, and wife of Davey Boy write some terrible shit about him, or am I misremembering this? It's one side of the story of course, but Bret actually being a complete asshole wouldn't shock me.
Most of his family and extended family are rather crummy people. Not sure if it was THAT sister but one of them for example after Owen Harts death copied the notes the lawyers had including their "battle plan" and gave it to the WWE to stay in their good graces.
He slept around. He also did drugs too.
Both are more or less almost standard for wrestlers.

So its turning out to be more than some cuckold roleplay with an obviously bad script huh... All I wanted was the video~

Professional Wrestling was quite the sideshow back in the day.

Foley defending Hogan definitely surprises me.
Pretty surprised by this as well.
That's Slick. He represented Akeem, the African Dream, played by a white man.

Hulk being himself in private, and wants me to believe he's someone else publicly. Own your shit. What is it about black men private parts that make men like Hulk so hateful.

I can't believe they tried to push them as faces with this gimmick.
Why is it surprising?
I would be surprised and disappointed if friends and family came out and defended his words or actions or equivocated them to paint them as not racist or not that bad.
I'm not surprised people who see him as a friend don't take his hateful words and decide to immediately discard their relationship and begin actively hating him.
There's a difference between a person having to evaluate their relationship and view of a someone and defending that persons actions. I'm not pleased to see it, but it's far more understanding than Mick coming out and saying "what hulk did wasn't THAT bad guys".
