The “failure to grifter” pipeline is real as hell. No one kind of person is immune to it. It affects people of any race or religion. It does not matter. All that is required is a failure. Sometimes, that failure is momentous, grandiose, and plays out in front of the whole world. From there, the person who committed the failure tries to claw their way back into relevance and (often) financial stability. So they cling to every last shred of notability they had and drive it into the ground trying to reclaim some semblance of meaning and their name is Terry Bollea AKA Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan sucks. We don’t have to get into detail about what makes him a s*** human being with an embarrassing lack of moral fiber, but I’ll give you a quick rundown. Hogan notoriously (at least in wrestling circles) was responsible for squashing a wrestlers’ union being formed in the ’80s because he made more money than everyone else and wanted to keep it that way (wrestlers still don’t have unions). He was shown on tape, in what was a very private moment, using the N-word to lament his daughter dating Black men. That tape shouldn’t have been released without his knowledge, but it paints a pretty clear picture of the Hulkster.
But let’s not stop there! Ole Terry is plenty capable of being racist in public as well! Just last month, he hired a female African American influencer to promote his ice-cold swill of a beer. After a day of work, the influencer was let go and told Hogan wasn’t doing more events despite her services initially being ordered for a week. It turns out that was a lie, as Hogan was seen the next day doing more events to promote his s***ty beer with white female influencers.
The former world heavyweight champion is more than just a racist, union-busting, self-centered prick! He’s also a giant failure. His movie career had no staying power because he made terrible films that he was bad in. He ran his wrestling career into the ground, overstaying his welcome without helping any of the next generation of wrestlers “get over,” as the saying goes. He was booted from the WWE after the aforementioned racist tape of him was released. However, they eventually invited him back, presenting him at Wrestlemania with an African American wrestler named Titus O’Neil as if to say, “See?!?!”
Luckily, Hogan lost a friend when Vince McMahon also began to pay for his abhorrent, subhuman behavior. McMahon was booted from the WWE and despite his best efforts, the Hulkster was nowhere to be seen at this year’s Wrestlemania 40, one of the biggest in the company’s history. Hogan has no piece of his old fame left, so the man is drifting. Hard. He made an appearance on the 700 Club saying, and I quote, “Whatcha gonna do, when Hulk Hogan, The 700 Club, and Our Lord and Savior run wild on you, brother?!” His aforementioned pisswater beer is called Real American Beer so he can suck cash outta rubes.
But wait! What’s that?! The Hulkamania is setting in! This means that the Hulkster was gearing up for some of the most racist, grifter s*** he’s sputtered from his stupid, bleach-blond handlebar mustache-covered mouth. He found a way to take what he loves, being a racist attention hog, and mix it with his new hobby, yanking dollars outta saps! At an event to promote his Real American Beer, Hogan Hulked out, saying, “You want me to body-slam somebody? You want me to body-slam Kamala Harris? I said, do you want me to body-slam Kamala Harris?! You want me to drop the leg on Kamala?”
That’s right! Hogan, who recently made an appearance at the RNC, where he ripped off his shirt to reveal another shirt, is no stranger to the political arena. So, he’s firing shots at Vice President and presumptive Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris. Because, like the GOP, Hogan has nothing, he made it racist real fast. “Is Kamala a chameleon? Is she Indian?” Hogan quipped, then raising his left hand and saying, “How,” like he’s playing a Native American on Gunsmoke.
“I’m gonna get heat for that one, brother,” continued Hogan. “That was not me, that was the beers talking.” Hate to break it to you, Hulk, but real wrestlers get heat. Good wrestlers get heat. You are a has-been in the truest form. A sad, racist old man who has nothing left, so you try to appeal to the lowest common denominator among human beings in hopes that your bigotry will get them to fork over their cash. It’s embarrassing. There will be no comeuppance this time. You can’t get kicked out of the WWE anymore because they don’t want you. No one does.
