Do those "perceived eccentricities" include being a Trump supporter, settling a large number of sexual assault allegations against him, several domestic violence charges, drunk-driving, a hit-and-run and various incidents of violence and theft? Or is it a cunt defending another cunt? Quote
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 28 Paid Members Posted April 28 Hogan's brother was a Hell's Angel. Which sounds untrue, but then you see photos of him and go "yes, only headcases looked like that in the 1970s." I think anyone who can father Horace has a streak of evil in them. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted April 28 Paid Members Posted April 28 There’s almost a beauty in Hogan’s legacy being that no-one believes anything he ever said. Post-nut, the man called himself a racist and even then people don’t believe him. The boy who cried wolf. The jabroni mark without a life that didn’t know it was a work when you work a work and work yourself into a shoot. Quote
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 29 Paid Members Posted April 29 Hogan paid off some woman in 1996 for sexual assault. Nobody ever talks about that. She alleged he assaulted her during the opening of Pastamania. Which again, even in super serious things like sexual assault, Hogan is a ridiculous fucking man. Quote

DavidB6937 Posted May 31 Posted May 31 Only just got round to seeing this as I was already irritated by it by all the ads and stuff at WWE World so I needed to get away from it a bit. A tough watch really because Hulk was undoubtedly the first wrestler that I really loved as a kid. Not to say I didn't enjoy others but he's definitely the one I had on clothes and favourite action figures and that big cuddly version that I'd wrestle all the time. I barely felt anything when he passed because at that point I was losing the guy who had eroded his legacy to the point of no return. But they did a good job during this of tapping into why I loved the guy in the first place and there was a real sadness towards the end - although I think someone else summed it up as less of a sadness and more of a pity. Much like many successful people, he not only struggled to balance his family life but also did everything to excess and couldn't live up to Hulk Hogan the persona and the expectations everyone had of him. He was obviously a guy who really struggled to let go. Still chasing that high towards the end whether it was appearing at the Trump thing or signing autographs etc. He needed that attention and just couldn't stay away from it. Always trying to find the next thing which is probably why we got this documentary in the first place. If he'd been a better person earlier then his life couldve been much better and his legacy would've been far less tarnished. If he'd been less greedy then perhaps he could have spent more time with his family and had a better balance. There's some obvious what ifs along the way in hindsight but so many get struck down by fame. Obviously being racist and all that isnt something you can blame on fame though. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 4 Paid Members Posted June 4 (edited) Finishing this last night, it’s shocking to think this is what they spammed us with advertisements for during Wrestlemania. It doesn’t paint them or the industry as a whole in a particularly positive light. A sad watch, about a sad man, in a sad business. A cautionary tale that even the biggest, most successful wrestlers still end up broken down, shuffling about with a roid gut, talking endless shit, repeating the same lies they’ve said so many times they don’t even know what’s true anymore, still, “turning on,” the character whenever someone asks for a selfie or their knobhead son sticks a camera in their face to earn a few extra quid. Hogan was never my guy, so I never had a huge emotional investment in him exposing himself as a racist or tarnishing his legacy, but between this and the Vince documentary it’s all just so fucking bleak. Imagine watching Night 1 of this year’s Wrestlemania, then binging this after seeing all the adverts, then maybe even a few episodes of the Vince documentary as a chaser. It’d be enough for you to borrow Hulk’s gun to pop in your mouth. Nexties on that shooter, Hulk. Bit of shoot, shoot, pass. You presume these are produced alongside WWE. Is this their attempt at counter-programming Dark Side of the Ring? Grim. I know it was a big part of Hulk’s career, so they had to cover it, but do you know what I’m sick to fucking death of? Hearing about the Monday Night Wars. Seeing the same clips. I swear I’ve seen at least fifty documentaries using these exact same clips, telling this exact same story. The year will be 2050. WWE documentaries will still be focussing almost exclusively on 1994 to 2004. After that someone will quietly mumble, “and then some other stuff happened…” It’s like a metaphor for wrestlers from that time period, still banging on about shit from thirty years ago. Fucking move on! Get over it! Cover the other decades of history. Some other quick thoughts: - Funny that they didn’t explain how the Finger Poke of Doom at least half worked within the storyline, with the characters of Nash and Hogan revealing that they were working together. If you didn’t know the story, you’d think the men themselves just couldn’t be arsed working a match that night. - Also funny that all these years later and Triple H is still arguing putting the belt on Hulk in 2002 was the wrong move, and it was definitely just a nostalgia pop. Cry me a river, Paul! You thought you were the King of Politics and then the Hulkster taught you there were levels to this. Shove your, “Beautiful Day,” montage up your arse! - Every time I see the Hulk Hogan heel turn, it’ll now always remind me of what a colossal bollock-drop John Cena’s heel turn was. Felt similarly seismic in the moment. Abandoned and quietly forgotten about a few months later. - Cody Rhodes was the only person who came across well in the whole documentary. A reminder of how great he is as the public face of WWE. He sounded earnest talking about his love for Rock vs. Hogan. It’s surprising they’ve never dug deeper into that. You could make a great little montage of these, “passing of the torch,” Wrestlemania moments, going from generation to generation. Edited June 4 by Supremo Quote
d-d-d-dAz Posted June 4 Posted June 4 That's the best visual gag ever produced on a message forum. I'm not sure how deep the competition is in that particular category, but you'll win regardless. Bravo. Quote

d-d-d-dAz Posted June 5 Posted June 5 This thread is getting a bit sycophantic. I think we need to spread some dirt on Supremo just to level it out. I'll start. Supremo secretly likes Seth Rollins, pass it on. IDST. Quote
Paid Members Supremo Posted June 6 Paid Members Posted June 6 Cheers lads. I’ll send my wife this way when she next rolls her eyes at me watching this absolute bollocks. Quote
BarryOVega Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Started watching the first episode, had doubts as soon as I saw WWE were involved in production, fucked it off when he said he was watching Dusty Rhodes when he was 9, put a 3 week old episode of NXT on instead Might give the Hollywood Hogan episode a go at some point but I imagine it’ll be the usual ‘we just used all the stuff we learnt from Vince to make WCW number one’ shite Quote
