thats the part I didnt get. Taker's political views didn't get him booed. And it can't just be racism cause thats been going on in wrestling for decades. I wonder if they booed him cause its the so called cool thing to do
Put your thinking cap on. Undertaker wasn't on tape dropping hard r's and literally saying "I'm racist."

Dallas, Texas but living in Houston, Texas
its the weirdest dichotomy with hogan and flair...they are both one in the same..good ol boy racist pieces of shyt..same generation...but one is admired to this day esp in the black community and still has a strong connection with the crowds and the other is booed and scorned heavy..the once biggest draw in wrestling has xpac heat :heh:
I think with Flair, he was never known to refuse to put people over. Also, the only scandals he's really been involved in was being drunk, his various marriages, and living beyond his means and now broke. Those are things people can "forgive." Hardcore fans know about him calling Teddy Long the n-word, but the majority of fans don't know. He's also more entertaining than Hoegan. Not excusing it, but that's my take.

Think the difference is people still see Flair acting a fool and just assume that's how he is even thought he's a POS for different reasons.

A shytty person is a shytty person no matter who they support politically.

Really just boils down to this. Hoegan is an opportunistic piece of shyt as a human being, from him ratting out Jesse Ventura about starting a union for wrestlers to the aftermath of his son's car accident to the racism on those tapes to his blatant dikkriding of Trump. Would have been a lot easier for everyone involved with WWE to have just moved on from Hogan after those tapes and let him rot in irrelevancy. I know this hurts Piffy Boy, since he was cheering his little heart out when Hoegan appeared, but it's the truth.

For I'd tell you to suck it up and stop being a bytch. You got n-gga's who are fans of Anime, Scat Porn, Furries, and etc.
I should have phrased that different, it's not the wrestling that's embarrassing, it's the other fans that make me embarrassed to be associated with them.

I don’t know how it is where you guys are at, but I’ve talked wrasslin with quite a few co-workers over the years. I never brought it up, but they would, so of course I would poke further. I chopped it up from time to time with OGs who did time due to conspiracy to commit murder and another who did robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. :skip:

I 100% believe it was a tko business decision considering the beer sponsorship. And the fact that they didn't mute the crowd and let him sit in this shyt shows that more to me.

HHH never really bowed down to hulk like that. The kilq just made money from him.
HHH outright dislikes Hoegan...I remember in WWE Unscripted he was burying the dude, saying he bit his whole style from Superstar Billy Graham

It’s kinda funny how some dudes are trying to to use Taker and Trips as “they’re MAGA too!” It’s been proven throughout history that most times, no matter the race of political affiliation, people will throw their own under the bus if it damages their rep or have beef with them due to who they are. It’s a cutthroat world and anyone can be a piece of shyt.

The only reason I don't think Taker got booed is because his Trumping is relatively fresh and it hasn't gotten the buzz Hogan's did. We've had literal years knowing Hulkkk been :mjpls:. Can't wait to see what happens next time he shows up :lolbron:

“Cool thing”? Hogan wasn’t getting this amount of boos years ago. He went full on MAGA and had the nerve to wear a MAGA Powers shirt in LA. LA is a blue county. 1 + 1 = 2.
Hoegan caught the same loud boos at his WM 37 appearance, couldn't even get cheered in his backyard Tampa. The MAGA stuff is another notch on the belt of him being a piece of shyt, but the tape is what finished him with live crowds.

Pretty wild because I don’t remember him getting the same type of response on the interwebs as this one.
