HULK HOGAN DUMPSTER FIRE THREAD


Recommended Posts

Somehwere in Florida a former Bubba The Love Sponge producer is sitting back and rubbing his hands together gleefully at the havoc he has wreaked. He got his revenge on Bubba, who treated him like shit, by "leaking" the video of Hogan and Heather. Pretty sure there are more parts of the video to be released.

As for the existence of the video there is some psychological shit going on that would make Freud go "WTF!"

And Pete doesn't get a like cause I'm out after the previous two posts. Damn.

 

Gotta pick your spots, son. Y'all are burning through your likes like the Young Bucks. A buncha like-monkeys.

Speaking of words white folks should be careful of...

No, but we'll give you both Tia and Tamara for Gianna Michaels(DO NOT GOOGLE THAT NAME AT WORK).

 

Good advice that I should have heeded.  I was sitting here wondering how the hell anyone could think Gianna Michaels is black.  She's one of the whitest people you'll find.

 

So I googled her, and, yeah, not who I was thinking of at all.  I thought Gianna Michaels was the name of the Food Network chef, Giada De Laurentiis,

Yeah, not even close to being similar.  Sigh.  I'm probably going to have to explain why I'm googling porn stars at the office.

Mike Mangini, the drummer for Dream Theater, just paraphrased Mark Henry on his Facebook page! Does this signal a HUGE shift in the racial draft?

 

Does referencing the drummer of a prog rock band AND being from Idaho disqualify me from this process?

For what it's worth, referencing Dream Theater gets you points in my book. Idaho is neutral ground for me, as all I know about Idaho is Boise is the capital and potatoes.

The Guardian website has a piece on racism in wrestling. It's pretty light......

...at its best professional wrestling is an artform, and a platform for compelling storytelling. Smaller independent promotions, like Baltimore-based Ring of Honor, focus far more on the skill and athleticism of performers than offensive, tacky amateur dramatics.

 

Kinda.......

To get this thread on track again--Hogan goes after Brooke a bit for messing up a supposed deal he brokered for her 'career' in some new video. Wonder how their father-daughter dynamic will work out, weird as it is already?

Hogan brokered a deal for Brooke to do porn? He's an evil bigot, but don't say he doesn't care about his daughter.

Presumably, the "mainstream wrestling media" (people like Grantland guy or that DJ in new york) dont want to rock the boat and mess ip the relationship with the company.

 

This.

 

And WWE is surprisingly mainstream and corporate these days. It wouldn't surprise me if they knew high level media people. If you notice, there has been a huge shift in how WWE is talked about in the mainstream media. It's no longer really made fun of.

Dumpster fire, indeed.

 

The mainstream seems at least mildly interested in this, but I haven't seen anywhere calling out WWE's terrible track record yet, which would be an easy piece for some clicks/viewer. Seems like fish in a barrel, really.

 

If things stay hot for a couple of more days, I can see someone putting two and two together, then start digging.  Deadspin seems like they'd be good for this.  A smaller site would get some serious attention if they went for it.

Linda McMahon ran for the United States Senate, was a viable candidate and not even then did we get WWE's past being leaked. For some reason, the media and those involved don't see it as a huge deal. 

 

The WWF ran some of its most troubling material during the height of its popularity, it's hardly an obscure secret.

I suppose it could come down to what Hogan does.  He already threw Vince's 'my *****' moment out there in an attempt to diffuse his heat.  If he finds himself buried even more, what's to keep Hogan from pointing out more stuff?  You could argue that Hogan may hold hope of getting back in Vince's good graces in 2-3 years, but I don't know if he's that self-aware.  I could see him willing to take the ship down with him, at least to some extent.

Seriously.

If any media are reading this looking for pointers, here's a list to Google:

Junkyard Dog shuck jive

Roddy Piper half black

DX blackface

Tatanka

Kamala

Michael Hayes Mark Henry

Roddy Piper coconuts

Hornswoggle Finlay

Akeem the African Dream

Cryme Tyme

Kerwin White

Million Dollar Man Virgil

Mr. Fuji

Nation of Domination

Roddy Piper Mexican National Anthem

Alberto Del Rio fired

Saba Simba

Triple H Booker T nappy

Mexicools

THAT IS LITERALLY JUST WHAT I COULD THINK OF SITTING HERE, and aside from Piper playing La Cucaracha, every one of them is WWE. Jesus the media is lazy.
