The cult of personality is a wild thing.

I understand "separating the art from the artist." We all have that one musician, actor, writer, or even wrestler that we know is on some fukk shyt but we look past it to enjoy their work. To use myself as an example, I enjoy AJ Styles' matches even knowing that conservative redneck ass stands for everything my liberal Black ass is against. It's not something I'm proud of, but it's something we all do with one person or another.

But this is the level I can't get with. Like, if this brother grew up loving Hulk Hogan and enjoying his matches, cool. Still respect his work? Okay. That's all fine and dandy. But don't hop on twitter dressed like a man who probably hates your Black ass just for the color of your skin to show support. You can't handwave the stuff Hulk said, try as WWE might.

Cancelled mine a year ago, just when they offered me a 3 month trial...this company haven't taken a dime from me :birdman:
I'll always be a fan of wrestling
I'm 30+ years a fan watching on and off since I was 5 (1986) and even got my nephews loving it

But I just can't give this company any more of my money. Any minority in this country can't continue to be manipulated by the ethics and shameless pandering of this company.

What does canceling your subscription really do?

Placebo to make folks feel better about standing against WWE's bullshyt, but in reality it's beyond just clicking cancel, typing some snark ass remark, and await a 3 month trial email. WWE will continue to do them in the name of MAGA and there's nothing we can do about it but the following:

  • Separate the product from the business
  • Don't watch the shyt
  • Support various companies (NJPW, MLW, Impact, LU, etc)
  • Just continue to complain while Vince count his racks:manny:
It's getting to the point where I'm tone deaf to the business and just like whatever at this point:snoop:

White dude got it.

Plus, Hulk has never really apologized. Not without a hundred qualifiers. He's always been more sorry for getting caught. So like, if you're forgiving him, I guess you're forgiving that he's not more sneaky with his cism.

Also, let's forget the context in which Hogan said that shyt. It was on a sextape of him fukking Bubba the Love Sponge's wife. So WWE, in their infinite wisdom, is welcoming back a racist with a cuckold sextape out in the wild to represent their family wrasslin show. Meanwhile, they can barely bring themselves to mention Chyna unless they absolutely have to even after the woman's death.

Truth really is stranger than fiction.
