Iirc Macho Man Randy Savage was also instrumental to unionization efforts and the company turned him heel for it. The result? Everyone loved Macho Man Randy Savage as a heel more than they ever loved him as a face. There's something extremely relatable to all of us about a guy who tries to speak up about injustice but doesn't get the traction and has to go back to making the magic our companies don't deserve
Better to be a heel than a scab.
Macho Man was just plain likable all the time. He always cut the greatest promos, had an ego larger than life, and he's one of the best things about the Raimi Spider-Man movies. Anytime I think of the wrestling greats, I think of Randy Savage.
When we were kids my brother and I met him once at a mini golf course in Florida. He was very nice even though we were assholes interrupting his family time.

Macho Man also released a diss track about Hulk Hogan.
A little tangential but how often do you get a chance to reference this?
Randy Savage started his WWF career as a heel. Initially, he didn't have a manager, so a bunch of heel managers would attend his squash matches and marvel at how amazing he was ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBIXztSSNr0 ). Then after a few matches and promos, he finally announced that he had chosen a manager: Miss Elizabeth ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_G1iMUbbBs ) (In reality, I'm pretty sure he and Elizabeth were a package deal; she would be slated to be his manager/valet before he came to the WWF)
He definitely seemed like a good, genuine dude and someone that was good at most every aspect of pro wrestling (maybe not as technical as Brett Hart, but who is?) regardless, though.
I heard that story as part of the Behind the Bastards series on Vince McMahon. It was an excellent and very entertaining four- or five-episode series.
Did not know there was a BtB about Vince McMahon. I'll have to check that out

To add to the fire also a; Wife beater and racist.
and a compulsive liar
So, ticks all the boxes to be a conservative role model
The original Orange Man, if you will.
I always thought he more closely resembled and overcooked hotdog

Why does Trump have so many d list celebs promoting him? They are all so old and irrelevant and just trying to grasp at the spot light once more. They don't care about him. They just desperately want to be recognized once more
I think you just asked a question and then immediately answered it
Sometimes i gotta type/ write it out to make it make sense
You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump's fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?

When the world seems full of Hogans, look to the Andre the giants instead. Edit: Oh and throw them off hell in a cell, plummeting 16ft through an announcer's table
I would, but the Hogans are plentiful and thriving, while the Andre the Giants of the world are either dead or being threatened by the Hogans.
Evil wins daily. We live in a world where "evil" has profoundly established itself as the leading paradigm for all of humanity, and all of us lost a long time ago, sometimes before being born.
Fuck that hotdog colored pieces of trash. No clearer proof of there being no god then every time that traitor carney draws breath.
I mean yeah he's totally a carny but don't hate on carnies, they're all carnies.
Actually come to think of it, I think most politicians are pretty much carnies at this point.

Such a shame. I grew up a couple of miles from his old house, Terry/HH would be out on the town, autoparts, picking up take out, riding his motorcycle, regular dude / dad stuff etc etc. He had a reputation of being super nice, soft spoken, and a good tipper, you know in the before times of long ago.
In the business he's known as a racist, a deviant, union buster, and a pathological liar. Dude lies about the most easily verifiable shit like "I partied with Jon Belushi after WrestleMania 1" (Belushi died 2 years prior to that) and "I was the first choice to be the lead in the movie the wrestler" (meanwhile the director confirms that's 100% not true).
That's a shame, all of it, though I guess none of it matters when you support fascism. Eh, throw another slice of childhood on the fire.

He is not a nice guy.
Did you grow up within a smaller radius to Hulk Hogan?
No, I am literally in the wrestling business and I read a lot about wrestling history. I have yet to find anyone saying anything positive about him.
I see what you're saying, but I believe the root comment is talking about before he got famous
🎶 I am a real american. Fight for the rights of the rich men 🎶
I miss shittymorph
In 1998...
Here’s another example of a fuckwit “celebrity” who just couldn’t keep their shit opinions to themselves & now they’re going to get absolutely drug for the next few months, their lives (hopefully) turned upside down.
Hope that RNC check was enough, burnt jizzbag
I agree he's a dick but his life being turned upside down? By who? A bunch of people on twitter? 😂
"shut up and wrestle" Oh wait he's not black
In the 80s I used to idolize this man.
Wow he turned out to be a special kind of shitbag.
A lot of celebrities became shitbags, unfortunately. The most disappointing IMO was JK Rowling. My sisters loved the Harry Potter universe, but soured on it after it was reveled Rowling was a huge nazi shithead.
giant human scab
well he was making more than all of them combined
overall shitperson that further degraded over time. if only men with a fragile masculinity would keep falling for douchebags.
