What is this wording
The movie was cancelled before his death. Saved you a click. By the way, hulk Hogan was a piece of shit.
ETA let me remind you all of some of the things he did, and this is just a fraction: When wrestlers tried to organize a union, he ratted them out. He was very creepy towards his daughter brooke. He was caught in tape calling someone the n word. He was a huge supporter of trump. When his son turned someone into a vegetable when he had that car accident, he was caught on tape saying that God did that to him. He also said that his son and his karma would be coming back to life as black people . This is all I can think of right now
In today’s outrage-culture-obsessed society, people get off on hating anybody famous who ever did anything mean. Positives are never weighed against negatives. If there are any negatives at all, then the positives don’t even count. A person is defined by just how bad the negatives are. And so here we have most redditors (and many young folks in general) defining Hulk Hogan by a racist tirade and an anti-union stance.
Apparently positives like these count for absolutely nothing:
Hogan granted hundreds of wishes through Make-A-Wish, often meeting with children battling life-threatening illnesses. He made frequent visits to children’s hospitals throughout the 1980s and 1990s, often in full costume to lift spirits.
Hogan regularly participated in USO tours and special events aimed at entertaining and supporting American military personnel at home and abroad.
He’s participated in and hosted numerous charity events, including ones for cancer research, disaster relief, and youth programs.
Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling included charitable elements and public awareness efforts for various causes.
Hogan was a pioneer in turning professional wrestling into mainstream entertainment, helping create job opportunities and revenue for thousands of others in the industry.
His work helped the WWE grow into a global powerhouse, which gave rise to many other stars and business ventures.
In his early career, Hogan was positioned as a role model with the „say your prayers and take your vitamins“ message that resonated with children in the 1980s.
His persona promoted positivity, anti-bullying, and standing up for what’s right—albeit in a stylized, over-the-top wrestling context.
Hogan brought joy to fans through family-oriented films and TV appearances like Suburban Commando, Mr. Nanny, and Thunder in Paradise. While not critically acclaimed, these works reached broad audiences and were part of many childhoods in the ’80s and ’90s.
He’s been credited with helping launch or elevate the careers of many wrestlers by feuding with them or endorsing them—including The Rock, Shawn Michaels, and Randy Orton.
Apparently many people today think these actions are all completely worthless because he got upset and used the N word and didn’t want to unionize. Or more likely, people are completely oblivious that Hogan did any of these things and simply refuse to acknowledge these things happened or brush them off as pointless because to acknowledge these good things would contradict their made up minds that Hogan is the next Hitler.
Now downvote me into oblivion.
I thought it was cancelled months ago in fact I can’t recall hearing anything about since either late last year or early this year
You can’t make money off racist douchebags
I feel like they couldn’t have made an “honest” biopic about Hogan, and that is probably what killed the project.
Whether you love or hate Hogan, he was crucial to the WWF’s success in the 1980s. Dude was a massive superstar. Hell, my grandmother was a Hulkamaniac. I had a Hulkamania workout set. Dude was an icon.
But…there’s also the ugly parts that have come to light more recently. How do you tell his story while ignoring the Gawker lawsuit, which is a huge moment in his life (and one that revealed his racism)? So either you make a biopic where we talk about a complicated man honestly (and that honesty is ROUGH), or you sand off all the rough edges and wind up with BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY.
It’s really hard to look at someone positively when a major event in their story is dropping a hard-R slur on a leaked sex tape where he banged his friend’s wife and then had his lawsuit funded by a vengeful billionaire.
