00:00:00Hey everybody, welcome to episode 12 of Tough Bumps.
00:00:04I am Matt Conderton, and of course joining me all the way from the great state of Iowa
00:00:08is Eric Pilcher.
00:00:09Hello, Eric.
00:00:10Hello, Matt.
00:00:11I'm actually turning my continual glucose monitor to silence.
00:00:16Oh, so yeah, because, you know, this subject might get me, might cause my blood sugar to
00:00:23go up.
00:00:24Also, too, when you're doing a podcast, there's nothing worse than being interrupted by continual
00:00:28glucose.
00:00:30My grandfather used to say that.
00:00:32Really?
00:00:33Yeah, he's very wise.
00:00:34Did your grandfather host a podcast?
00:00:37I don't think so.
00:00:38But he had just unimaginable foresight and could really...
00:00:43Oh, in the future.
00:00:45Yes.
00:00:45Yes.
00:00:46Yes, he knew.
00:00:47Well, maybe the ghost of Wilford Brimley contacted him and said that there will be future innovations
00:00:54in the world of Betis.
00:00:56Diabetes.
00:00:58Yes.
00:00:58Um, yes.
00:01:00Wilford Brimley is like the diabetes Jesus.
00:01:03Yes, and one of the great mustaches in history.
00:01:07Yes.
00:01:07And the star of, uh, John Carpenter's biggest studio movie hit, Cocoon.
00:01:17Oh, that's right.
00:01:18I've never actually seen Cocoon.
00:01:20Um.
00:01:21Didn't appeal to me.
00:01:22This never saw it.
00:01:22It's, it's, it's, I, I'm glad because it gave John Carpenter, as you can see the poster
00:01:30in the background signed by John Carpenter.
00:01:32Yeah.
00:01:33Um, John Carpenter is flowers.
00:01:36Yes.
00:01:37And, you know, but he, John Carpenter has done far better movies.
00:01:43Yeah, absolutely.
00:01:44Um, far, far better on far less of a budget.
00:01:49So.
00:01:50Yeah.
00:01:51Just the way that's like when you tell people that Sam Peckinpah's highest grossing film
00:01:56ever is Convoy.
00:02:00Really?
00:02:01Yes, it is.
00:02:01Oh, wow.
00:02:02Not Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.
00:02:05Not The Wild Bunch.
00:02:07Major Dundee.
00:02:08Not cinematic classics.
00:02:10No, it's a cinematic shit pile that is Convoy.
00:02:15Wow.
00:02:16Boy.
00:02:17So we should mention too, the date is, uh, the date that we're doing this.
00:02:20So we're streaming live.
00:02:21Of course, most people will listen to the podcast afterward, but if you do happen to
00:02:25be joining us live, it is, uh, Sunday, July 27, 2025.
00:02:29I think it's obvious what the, uh, we're kind of skipping the undercard this week and
00:02:34we're getting right to the main event because there's one, one big thing.
00:02:38Yeah.
00:02:38This is a major news story, a global news story.
00:02:42Transcends, uh, professional wrestling really.
00:02:45Yeah.
00:02:45Like when, when, when a professional athlete dies in its top story on major news outlets,
00:02:54it's, it's crossed that line.
00:02:57Sure.
00:02:58Well, Hulk Hogan, uh, I mean, one, arguably one of the most famous people in the world.
00:03:03Like, you know, you, you, you could, uh, you could show a picture of Hulk Hogan to somebody,
00:03:09you know, on any continent in almost any country and they would know it's Hulk Hogan.
00:03:13You know what I mean?
00:03:14Yes.
00:03:15Yeah.
00:03:15Um, and you know, good, bad, or indifferent, he was a major player in the boom of professional
00:03:28wrestling.
00:03:28And I say major player because you, people say he's solely responsible.
00:03:34And as I've said on this podcast, that's horribly inaccurate because Hogan was just an avatar
00:03:43in this without Vince's vision, without Vince's money, there's, there isn't a Hulk Hogan.
00:03:52I mean, there, there might've been a Hulk Hogan sticking around in the, in the AWA, but there
00:03:57wouldn't have been the boom.
00:03:59Right.
00:03:59It was, there wouldn't have been the animated series.
00:04:02There wouldn't have been the mood, the horrible, God awful movies that came out there.
00:04:07There, I mean, there, there wouldn't have been the, there wouldn't have been a sports
00:04:12illustrated cover.
00:04:13There wouldn't have been the parents fighting over the LJ and Hulk Hogan figure at your local
00:04:18Kmart.
00:04:19Mm-hmm.
00:04:20It would have been none of that.
00:04:23So yeah, you Hulk Hogan could have stayed in the AWA.
00:04:29And I've said this Hulk Hogan could have had a career still without Vince, but Vince wouldn't
00:04:35have had a career without Vince taking the risks Vince took.
00:04:40Mm-hmm.
00:04:41And Vince had far more to lose in this than Hulk did.
00:04:44Mm-hmm.
00:04:45Right.
00:04:46If WrestleMania had failed, that would have been the end.
00:04:49That would have been the end.
00:04:50Yep.
00:04:50And I'm sure Hogan could have crawled on hands and knees back to Vern.
00:04:56Mm-hmm.
00:04:58Um, or even he could have went down to, uh, Crockett promotions.
00:05:05Mm-hmm.
00:05:06Um, I, I get, I, I don't know if that would have worked out, uh, for him.
00:05:11Uh, Crockett was not, certainly not a federation where the big larger than life guys succeeded.
00:05:22I mean, Crockett had, you know.
00:05:25I thought it was where the big boys play.
00:05:27No?
00:05:27Well, no, that's after Turner took over for Crockett.
00:05:31That's right.
00:05:32Crockett was, you know, your, your champ was Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes, Sting.
00:05:39I mean, I think the biggest powerhouse they had, uh, under the Crockett banner was probably
00:05:46Luger.
00:05:47Mm-hmm.
00:05:47Um, and Luger, I would say, had something Hogan didn't, Luger could actually work.
00:05:56I'm gonna, okay, this might, this might be our first, uh, uh, disagreement in this conversation.
00:06:01And we might have a few, which will be good.
00:06:02Well, I think we will.
00:06:04Good for the show.
00:06:05So, I'm, I'm gonna tell you just a quick anecdote.
00:06:07So, when I was in high school, uh, the first job I ever had was at Sears.
00:06:11Remember Sears?
00:06:12I'm showing my age a little bit.
00:06:13But, um, Sears.
00:06:15Uh, so, I worked at Sears at the Steeplegate Mall in Concord, New Hampshire.
00:06:21And there was this guy there.
00:06:22I was in school.
00:06:23There was this guy there named Mark.
00:06:24Mark Perry.
00:06:26I, I haven't kept in touch with him.
00:06:27I have no idea what happened to him.
00:06:29Hard to find him, too, because Mark Perry is obviously a very common name.
00:06:32But he was.
00:06:32I would think so.
00:06:33Yeah, yeah.
00:06:34But he was, you know, he was older than I was.
00:06:36He was probably in his 30s.
00:06:38He was one of the managers there.
00:06:39And he and I were having a conversation one day.
00:06:41And he, and he found out that I liked professional wrestling.
00:06:44And it turned out he was also a lifelong fan.
00:06:47He'd been watching it, you know, since he was a kid.
00:06:51And he said something to me that was very interesting.
00:06:52So, we were talking about Hulk Hogan one day.
00:06:54And I said to him, you know, I think Hogan's kind of boring.
00:06:58At least as far as his matches.
00:06:59You see one Hogan match, you kind of see him all.
00:07:01And he doesn't really do much.
00:07:02A lot of kicking, punching, body slam.
00:07:05You know, it's not that interesting to me.
00:07:07Mark said to me.
00:07:09He said, and keep in mind, this is before we had YouTube.
00:07:13Now you can just go on YouTube and find almost anything.
00:07:16But this was back in the days where the only way to see this stuff
00:07:19that you couldn't just see on television was tape trading.
00:07:24And you've even told me you used to do that, right?
00:07:26Used to trade tapes.
00:07:27I never got into that part of it.
00:07:29But Mark told me at the time, because again, this was pre-YouTube.
00:07:33He said, if you ever get a chance to get your hands on a tape
00:07:38of some of Hulk Hogan's matches from Japan,
00:07:41it might change the way you feel about him and what he could do in the ring.
00:07:45So I just kind of filed that away in the back of my mind, I guess.
00:07:48Because then years and years later, sorry about that.
00:07:53I forgot to mute my phone.
00:07:55Years and years later, I'm sitting at the computer one day.
00:07:58And this memory just pops into my brain at random of Mark Perry telling me,
00:08:04hey, if you get a chance to see some of Hogan's matches from Japan,
00:08:08you might see him a little bit differently.
00:08:10So I just went on YouTube, because at this point we had YouTube,
00:08:13and I just type in Hulk Hogan Japan, and I found a bunch of matches.
00:08:18And Mark was right.
00:08:21Like Hogan, and this is where I disagree with you, Hogan could work.
00:08:24Okay, and I'm sorry to cut you off.
00:08:28Yes, his Japan matches, yes, he worked.
00:08:31But again, what's the majority of his work?
00:08:35If you're comparing a body of work here,
00:08:38I compared him to Lex Luger, because I think in the 80s,
00:08:42that was probably the fairest comparison you could do.
00:08:45Sure.
00:08:50Luger did it.
00:08:52In the 80s, would you think Hulk Hogan could go hold for hold?
00:08:58Not hold for hold, obviously, but, you know,
00:09:02not have to be completely carried in a match with Ric Flair.
00:09:06Because Luger didn't have to be completely carried by Flair.
00:09:09I think Hogan, at that point in the 80s,
00:09:16would have had to be carried by Flair.
00:09:18Because he was so ingrained with the way he did things in WWE.
00:09:26And I think, to a degree, that's why their house show matches
00:09:29went over like a broken sewer pipe.
00:09:34You...
00:09:35Because you...
00:09:38If you don't stay in that mode
00:09:40of working like Hogan worked in Japan,
00:09:44you lose it.
00:09:47Sure.
00:09:47You can't do it anymore.
00:09:50Yeah.
00:09:50I mean, and so, yeah, I don't...
00:09:55Hogan worked in Japan.
00:09:57Yeah.
00:09:57But at the same time,
00:09:59you look at the dance partners he had in Japan, too.
00:10:02Oh, sure.
00:10:03But he was...
00:10:04That could really mask any shortcomings he had.
00:10:07But I just remember...
00:10:08Like, I remember seeing him, you know,
00:10:10throwing enziguris and doing all kinds of stuff.
00:10:15Even just variations of suplexes
00:10:17that I never saw him do growing up on U.S. television.
00:10:22Like, he was...
00:10:23He was pretty...
00:10:24Don't get me wrong.
00:10:25He wasn't Luthez.
00:10:26But, honestly,
00:10:28I was genuinely impressed
00:10:30with what I saw.
00:10:31And I said,
00:10:32wow, Mark was right.
00:10:33I mean, he was holding his own in there.
00:10:35He was impressive in Japan,
00:10:37which I think, you know,
00:10:40American audiences
00:10:41have every right
00:10:43to feel kind of shortchanged.
00:10:45Yeah.
00:10:46When you look at what he could do in Japan.
00:10:49Yeah.
00:10:49And it is very forgotten
00:10:51what he did in Japan.
00:10:52It's always...
00:10:53It's also very forgotten
00:10:55what he did in the AWA.
00:10:57He worked in the AWA.
00:10:59That's true.
00:11:00Because you had to work in the AWA.
00:11:02That's true, yeah.
00:11:03You couldn't just...
00:11:04You couldn't just coast under Vern Gagne.
00:11:08Right.
00:11:09Right.
00:11:10Vern would have kicked your ass if you did.
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13You would have been put in the ring
00:11:15with Crusher Khrushchev
00:11:17or Mad Dog Vashon
00:11:21in just...
00:11:22Yeah.
00:11:24Or Henny.
00:11:25Vern would have gotten in the ring
00:11:26and stretched you.
00:11:27Oh, yeah.
00:11:28Yeah.
00:11:28Henny, Nick Bockwinkle.
00:11:30Yeah.
00:11:31Larry Zbysko.
00:11:32Guys that had no problem
00:11:34turning the match into a shoot
00:11:36if they absolutely had to.
00:11:39Yeah.
00:11:40Oh, yeah.
00:11:41And I guess...
00:11:42And I've never heard it really explained,
00:11:46but I guess just Vince wanted him
00:11:49to just do the big moves.
00:11:50And I guess Vince was right
00:11:52because obviously it worked
00:11:53in terms of drawing money
00:11:55and building the empire
00:11:56that became the WWF.
00:11:59But we did get shortchanged.
00:12:02What you said,
00:12:02that was a good way of putting it.
00:12:04We did get shortchanged
00:12:05because Hogan could have given us more.
00:12:07Because he could have, certainly.
00:12:09And he really could have shown more.
00:12:13And, you know,
00:12:16it would have been better for him
00:12:19because then you could have had
00:12:20those long programs
00:12:22with guys like Kurt Henning,
00:12:25Rick Rude,
00:12:26guys that could work in the ring.
00:12:27The problem is,
00:12:28is everyone's like,
00:12:29well, why didn't they have these feuds?
00:12:30Why didn't they have this?
00:12:31And I'm sure there was
00:12:32some backstage politicking going on.
00:12:35Sure.
00:12:35Why they didn't have them.
00:12:37But I think in the flip side,
00:12:40you look at it as,
00:12:42and Vince probably felt,
00:12:44Vince, I would guess,
00:12:46felt this way,
00:12:47that you would expose Hogan.
00:12:49Do you think so?
00:12:50Do you think that's how he looked at it?
00:12:51Or was it just like,
00:12:52or was it just keep it simple?
00:12:55I think in Vince's,
00:12:56that's it.
00:12:57Because if you then put Hogan
00:12:59in these matches
00:13:01with these legit,
00:13:03with these legit technicians,
00:13:07you then,
00:13:10fans would then be programmed
00:13:12to want him to be
00:13:15in these technical showdowns
00:13:17with guys like
00:13:18Ultimate Warrior,
00:13:20Sid Justice,
00:13:22on down the line.
00:13:26And that's not there.
00:13:28So then that becomes,
00:13:30I see what you're saying.
00:13:32Because then you,
00:13:33you expose,
00:13:34you not just expose Hogan,
00:13:36you expose
00:13:36who's supposed to be
00:13:38this chief villain
00:13:39that could really take Hogan out.
00:13:42It's,
00:13:42what if you,
00:13:43Yeah,
00:13:44I see what you're saying.
00:13:45What if you put
00:13:46Superman up against
00:13:48Lex Luthor
00:13:49in a Superman movie,
00:13:50and all Lex Luthor had
00:13:52was a bottle rocket?
00:13:54Yeah.
00:13:54No one's going to buy it.
00:13:58You're not going to want
00:13:59to see that.
00:14:00Right.
00:14:01So,
00:14:03Yeah,
00:14:04I haven't thought of it
00:14:05quite that way.
00:14:05That's interesting,
00:14:06though.
00:14:06I think,
00:14:06I think you're on to something.
00:14:07That does make sense.
00:14:08if you then,
00:14:10if you put Hogan
00:14:11with Roode
00:14:12in an extended program,
00:14:15I'm,
00:14:15again,
00:14:17almost,
00:14:18almost certain
00:14:19there was politicking
00:14:20involved
00:14:21with that,
00:14:22with Roode
00:14:23and Henning both.
00:14:25Um,
00:14:25because they were
00:14:26AWA guys,
00:14:28and I'm
00:14:29sure they had
00:14:30an axe to grind
00:14:31with Hulk
00:14:32over the way he left,
00:14:33over the way he left
00:14:35the AWA.
00:14:36They did have matches
00:14:37with him,
00:14:38though,
00:14:38just not extended programs.
00:14:39I mean,
00:14:39I remember Henning
00:14:40versus Hogan
00:14:41on Saturday Night's
00:14:43Main Event,
00:14:43which,
00:14:43from what I recall,
00:14:44was a really good match.
00:14:46Yeah,
00:14:46but,
00:14:47again,
00:14:47you can't do that
00:14:48too often.
00:14:49Right.
00:14:50Because,
00:14:50at this point,
00:14:51you're,
00:14:51you're going to expose
00:14:53great weight.
00:14:55I just thought of this.
00:14:55We could do,
00:14:56look at this,
00:14:57Goldberg versus Regal.
00:15:00Yeah.
00:15:01You're going,
00:15:01I mean,
00:15:02because,
00:15:03again,
00:15:03I go back to my main point.
00:15:04If you,
00:15:05if you're a wrestler,
00:15:06and you work a certain style
00:15:08for so long,
00:15:09you can't go back
00:15:10to a way you worked
00:15:11five,
00:15:12ten years earlier.
00:15:14Well,
00:15:14you probably,
00:15:15it probably depends.
00:15:17I mean,
00:15:17I don't know,
00:15:18I don't know that that's
00:15:19the truth for everybody.
00:15:20I'm sure for some people
00:15:21that is,
00:15:22but I'm sure,
00:15:22I'm sure there's some people
00:15:23who are just so good
00:15:24at what they do
00:15:25that they probably
00:15:26could go back
00:15:26if they had to,
00:15:27you know what I mean?
00:15:28It probably becomes like,
00:15:29like,
00:15:29I mean,
00:15:30muscle memory has to play
00:15:31a role in this,
00:15:31and I'm sure it's like,
00:15:32I ride a bike.
00:15:34Hogan worked,
00:15:35Japan sporadically.
00:15:37He wasn't a consistent
00:15:39performer in Japan.
00:15:43So,
00:15:44I mean,
00:15:45I would say probably
00:15:46for every three
00:15:48powerhouse matches
00:15:49he worked,
00:15:50he worked one
00:15:51scientific match.
00:15:52Yeah.
00:15:53That's not a good ratio
00:15:55for muscle memory.
00:15:57Yeah,
00:15:58true.
00:15:58That's true.
00:15:59So,
00:16:00you,
00:16:00yeah,
00:16:01I,
00:16:02I,
00:16:02we did get shortchanged,
00:16:04and,
00:16:05you know,
00:16:06it could have,
00:16:07now that we,
00:16:08now that I think about it,
00:16:09might have tied into Hogan
00:16:10not wanting to do that program
00:16:13or that match with Brett.
00:16:15Hmm.
00:16:17Yeah.
00:16:18Cause,
00:16:19then you're like,
00:16:20okay,
00:16:20I'm out of the company,
00:16:22I just had this match,
00:16:25dirt sheets are becoming big,
00:16:28um,
00:16:29people are gonna rip on this,
00:16:31I hurt my value,
00:16:32not,
00:16:33not just if I do decide
00:16:34to go to WCW,
00:16:36but,
00:16:37I hurt my value
00:16:39if I decide
00:16:42to do a movie.
00:16:45Right.
00:16:45I'm not the immortal
00:16:46anymore.
00:16:47I,
00:16:48yeah,
00:16:49this is a match
00:16:50on pay-per-view,
00:16:51a major event,
00:16:53SummerSlam.
00:16:54Um,
00:16:55I forgot to-
00:16:56No,
00:16:56King of the Ring,
00:16:56King of the Ring.
00:16:57It was the first ever
00:16:58King of the Ring
00:16:58when they were supposed
00:16:59to do it.
00:17:00Oh,
00:17:00okay,
00:17:00okay.
00:17:02I meant to put that picture
00:17:03up of,
00:17:03uh,
00:17:03of Hulk at the beginning
00:17:04and I forgot to,
00:17:05but,
00:17:05but,
00:17:06but there he is,
00:17:07that's kind of the classic.
00:17:08I think that's
00:17:08probably the most
00:17:09seen picture
00:17:11of Hulk Hogan.
00:17:12Yes.
00:17:13Uh,
00:17:14the,
00:17:14the kind of the,
00:17:14the most,
00:17:15uh,
00:17:15iconic photos.
00:17:17Um,
00:17:17we don't need to leave
00:17:18it up there the whole time,
00:17:18but I just,
00:17:19I thought it looked cool.
00:17:20It actually looks cool
00:17:21with the tough bumps,
00:17:22the total coincidence,
00:17:23total coincidence,
00:17:24by the way,
00:17:24but the tough bumps,
00:17:25uh,
00:17:26red and yellow,
00:17:27actually,
00:17:27maybe we'll get,
00:17:28just go back to it for,
00:17:29for a moment there.
00:17:29Leave him up.
00:17:31Cause that,
00:17:31that does look,
00:17:32uh,
00:17:32oh,
00:17:32there we go.
00:17:33Yeah,
00:17:33that does,
00:17:34that does look pretty cool
00:17:35against the,
00:17:36uh,
00:17:36against the tough bumps logo
00:17:37as a backdrop,
00:17:38the red and yellow
00:17:39tough bumps logo.
00:17:40Um,
00:17:41yeah,
00:17:42so we should,
00:17:44um,
00:17:46huh?
00:17:47Should we get to the,
00:17:48let's get to the hard part
00:17:49of this boy.
00:17:52My,
00:17:53my thoughts and well wishes
00:17:54go to,
00:17:55to Terry,
00:17:57Jean Balea's friends
00:17:58and family.
00:17:59Yeah.
00:18:01Yeah.
00:18:01I didn't know his middle name
00:18:03was Jean.
00:18:03Um,
00:18:04yeah,
00:18:06that's it.
00:18:07Anything else?
00:18:08Anything else you want to say?
00:18:09I mean,
00:18:10it's so hard.
00:18:14It's very hard.
00:18:15Cause you know what?
00:18:18Okay.
00:18:19Hulk Hogan was a landmark figure
00:18:23in the history of professional wrestling,
00:18:26uh,
00:18:27pioneer in professional wrestling,
00:18:30a groundbreaking figure.
00:18:35Professional wrestling
00:18:36probably wouldn't be where it's at
00:18:38without him.
00:18:39Mm-hmm.
00:18:40Agreed.
00:18:41Terry Balea
00:18:41is a piece of shit human being
00:18:44and was a piece of shit human being.
00:18:46And that's
00:18:48where there's the separation.
00:18:52Look,
00:18:53I have been so dismayed
00:18:55over the last few days
00:18:57with
00:18:59the things I have read
00:19:01and the things
00:19:02that I have heard.
00:19:04I,
00:19:04I,
00:19:04I would actually like to share with you,
00:19:06Matt.
00:19:06This is a surprise.
00:19:07I didn't even prepare you
00:19:09for this.
00:19:11No,
00:19:11no.
00:19:12I,
00:19:12and I,
00:19:12I didn't want to know.
00:19:13I prefer to be surprised.
00:19:15What I was going to share
00:19:17with you.
00:19:18Um,
00:19:19if you want,
00:19:19I can send you a screenshot of this
00:19:21cause I actually did
00:19:22screenshot it.
00:19:24Okay.
00:19:25Are you sending it via messenger?
00:19:27Yeah.
00:19:28Um,
00:19:28you will have to black out her name
00:19:30because I don't think
00:19:31either of us believe in doxing.
00:19:32This was on threads.
00:19:34A response to me
00:19:36when I,
00:19:38when someone said
00:19:40Hogan used the N word
00:19:43one time
00:19:44and just because he did
00:19:46does not make him a racist.
00:19:48Yes,
00:19:49it does.
00:19:50And he used it more than one time.
00:19:53He used it seven times
00:19:54in a three minute rant.
00:19:56Even if that supposedly
00:19:57made him a racist,
00:19:59he still apologized for it.
00:20:01He gave his life to Christ
00:20:03before he died.
00:20:04As,
00:20:05as someone who was
00:20:06baptized a Christian
00:20:07back in 2017,
00:20:10let me tell you,
00:20:12you can give your life to Christ.
00:20:15this isn't Bible thumping.
00:20:18This isn't me pushing religion.
00:20:20This is me telling you
00:20:21biblically
00:20:22that is flawed.
00:20:25In
00:20:25inherently
00:20:26flawed.
00:20:28Because
00:20:29you will
00:20:30the big thing to having your sins
00:20:32washed away
00:20:33under the blood of Christ.
00:20:35You have to be
00:20:36repentant.
00:20:37Yeah,
00:20:38exactly.
00:20:40And
00:20:40there are things
00:20:41he did
00:20:42after that
00:20:43that prove
00:20:44he isn't
00:20:45repentant.
00:20:47I will continue.
00:20:49I countered with,
00:20:51no,
00:20:51he didn't apologize.
00:20:52He told a room full
00:20:53of his peers,
00:20:54many of them
00:20:55African Americans,
00:20:56to basically
00:20:57not get caught.
00:20:59Right.
00:21:00You never know
00:21:00who's recording.
00:21:02He said something
00:21:02like that.
00:21:03He used it
00:21:03multiple times.
00:21:05He has shown no contrition
00:21:07for it whatsoever.
00:21:09Here is
00:21:10the big response.
00:21:13Yeah,
00:21:13he did.
00:21:14He publicly apologized
00:21:15on live TV
00:21:16and said it wasn't like him
00:21:18and it's not typical behavior.
00:21:20My side note,
00:21:21if you've heard the conversation,
00:21:23he's very comfortable
00:21:24saying that word.
00:21:26This was not
00:21:27a first time
00:21:28Hulk Hogan
00:21:29uttered that word.
00:21:31And
00:21:31not only that,
00:21:32but in that,
00:21:33in the diatribe
00:21:34that we're talking about,
00:21:36he even says,
00:21:38I am racist
00:21:39to a point.
00:21:40He uses those words
00:21:42exactly like
00:21:43he acknowledges
00:21:44his own racism.
00:21:46All the hoopla
00:21:50you just spewed
00:21:51as lies
00:21:54that was made up
00:21:55by the black people
00:21:57who were mad.
00:21:58Oh my God.
00:22:00Get your facts
00:22:01straight.
00:22:02And the one comment
00:22:03that he did make,
00:22:04he was irate
00:22:05because the man
00:22:06that his daughter
00:22:07was dating
00:22:07was an absolute loser
00:22:09who actually turned out
00:22:11to abuse her.
00:22:12So the word
00:22:13he used to describe him
00:22:15wasn't necessarily wrong,
00:22:18was it?
00:22:19That's some pretzel logic there.
00:22:21And I said,
00:22:23no,
00:22:23it wasn't lies.
00:22:24His ex-wife
00:22:25and daughter
00:22:26have said
00:22:27he psychologically
00:22:28abused them.
00:22:29He did say
00:22:30the person
00:22:30his son
00:22:31made a quadriplegic.
00:22:33It was the victim's fault.
00:22:36Both of those
00:22:36happened
00:22:37before his racist
00:22:38colors came out.
00:22:40And his public apology
00:22:41was a farce.
00:22:43When he had to
00:22:44apologize to his peers,
00:22:46he just said,
00:22:47don't get caught.
00:22:48Both black
00:22:49and white wrestlers
00:22:50said that.
00:22:51Calling anyone
00:22:52a racial slur
00:22:53is deplorable
00:22:54no matter what they do.
00:22:56The fact that
00:22:57you're justifying it
00:22:58says a lot
00:22:59about your character.
00:23:00Yeah.
00:23:02Like,
00:23:03what is wrong
00:23:04with our society
00:23:06that we
00:23:07have to
00:23:08sit here?
00:23:10And I just
00:23:11sent that to you,
00:23:12Matt.
00:23:13Okay.
00:23:14That we
00:23:16have to
00:23:16sit here.
00:23:18Heaven forbid
00:23:19if Ted Bundy
00:23:21died in this era.
00:23:22Ted Bundy,
00:23:23I honestly believe,
00:23:24would have apologists.
00:23:25Was this a
00:23:26public comment
00:23:27or in Messenger?
00:23:29This was a
00:23:30public comment.
00:23:31Oh,
00:23:31I don't think I
00:23:32have a way
00:23:34to black that out,
00:23:35at least not
00:23:36in real time
00:23:37during the show.
00:23:38I can
00:23:39take care of it
00:23:40for you.
00:23:41Okay.
00:23:41Well,
00:23:41because I was going to say,
00:23:42if it's a public comment,
00:23:43why do we have to
00:23:43black it out?
00:23:44Because,
00:23:45look,
00:23:46I don't want
00:23:46to be a part of
00:23:47doxing in any way,
00:23:49shape,
00:23:49or form.
00:23:50No,
00:23:51I know.
00:23:51I get that.
00:23:52I feel the same.
00:23:52I just,
00:23:53is it doxing if
00:23:54this person is openly
00:23:55saying this publicly?
00:23:56You know what?
00:23:56Throw it up then.
00:23:58You know what?
00:23:59If you're a racist,
00:24:00if you're supporting
00:24:01a racist,
00:24:02you deserve to be
00:24:03put out there.
00:24:04Well,
00:24:04to me,
00:24:05she's already put
00:24:05herself out there.
00:24:06That's what I'm saying.
00:24:07That's why I don't
00:24:08think it's...
00:24:09And I just want to
00:24:10show proof that,
00:24:11yes,
00:24:11this really was...
00:24:13I don't think it's
00:24:13a form of doxing.
00:24:14I mean,
00:24:14we don't have to
00:24:15read their name
00:24:16out loud,
00:24:17but we can at least...
00:24:19And everyone that wants...
00:24:22If you want to go look,
00:24:23it's on threads.
00:24:24Yeah.
00:24:25So,
00:24:25there it is.
00:24:26I don't know if I can
00:24:27really make that any...
00:24:28Can I make that any bigger?
00:24:30Probably not.
00:24:32But,
00:24:32yeah,
00:24:33there it is.
00:24:34That's the conversation.
00:24:36We're part of it.
00:24:39Well,
00:24:39I mean,
00:24:40it's the times we live in.
00:24:41I mean,
00:24:42it's just completely sad.
00:24:45And,
00:24:45look,
00:24:47and then his family says
00:24:48to call him a racist
00:24:50at this time
00:24:51is completely disrespectful.
00:24:53No,
00:24:54it's not.
00:24:55When Louis Farrakhan dies,
00:24:57are we going to say
00:24:58he was a racist?
00:25:01Yes,
00:25:01we are.
00:25:02When George Wallace died,
00:25:05was he called a racist
00:25:06and a bigot?
00:25:08Yes,
00:25:08he was.
00:25:09What about David Duke
00:25:10when David Duke dies?
00:25:12Yeah,
00:25:12I know.
00:25:13I mean,
00:25:13the political climate
00:25:15in this country,
00:25:16though,
00:25:16is such that
00:25:16I almost think that,
00:25:18well,
00:25:18I shouldn't say
00:25:19I almost think
00:25:20there will be
00:25:20when David Duke dies,
00:25:21there will be people
00:25:22on social media
00:25:23saying,
00:25:23oh,
00:25:23you shouldn't
00:25:25call him bad things.
00:25:26That's disgusting.
00:25:27You know,
00:25:28don't speak ill of the dead
00:25:29and all that.
00:25:30To me,
00:25:30it's not.
00:25:31Like,
00:25:31from my perspective,
00:25:32I don't think of it,
00:25:33though,
00:25:34maybe quite the same way
00:25:35that I guess
00:25:36so many people do
00:25:37because we live in,
00:25:38you know,
00:25:39we live in a time,
00:25:39too,
00:25:39where people are so polarized
00:25:40and people think of everything
00:25:41in this sort of binary way,
00:25:44like everything is either
00:25:45good or bad,
00:25:45black or white.
00:25:46Like,
00:25:47I don't think it's,
00:25:48I don't think it's disrespectful
00:25:50to his memory
00:25:51to bring up
00:25:53the really shitty things
00:25:55about this person.
00:25:57Just like it's,
00:25:58I don't think,
00:25:59just like I don't think
00:26:00we're glazing him
00:26:01by saying all the positive
00:26:02contributions that he made
00:26:03to the world
00:26:04of professional wrestling
00:26:05or any other nice things
00:26:06that we might say about him.
00:26:09I mean,
00:26:09I don't know if you have
00:26:10anything else nice
00:26:11you'll say about him,
00:26:13but,
00:26:13or me,
00:26:15I don't know if I will either,
00:26:16but,
00:26:17I mean,
00:26:17we should be able
00:26:18to present a full picture.
00:26:20There was a time
00:26:21where you used to be able to,
00:26:23if somebody died,
00:26:24you used to be able to say,
00:26:24well,
00:26:25you know,
00:26:25this person had a complicated
00:26:26history
00:26:27and they were complex
00:26:28and here's the good
00:26:30about them
00:26:30and by the way,
00:26:31here's the bad about them,
00:26:32but now it's like,
00:26:33everything's so polarized.
00:26:34You can't even do that anymore.
00:26:36If I may, Matt,
00:26:37I want to circle
00:26:38to one of the people
00:26:39that I look up to.
00:26:40Yeah.
00:26:40Malcolm X.
00:26:42When Malcolm X died,
00:26:45you,
00:26:46to this day,
00:26:48it's still brought up.
00:26:49His polarizing views
00:26:51on
00:26:53Caucasians,
00:26:55Jews,
00:26:56until he went to the
00:27:00Hajj at Mecca
00:27:00and then he came back.
00:27:05Yeah.
00:27:06A Muslim,
00:27:07Muslim podcast
00:27:09that I follow.
00:27:10The guy's very well-spoken
00:27:12and he was actually
00:27:13personally,
00:27:14personal friend.
00:27:18Malik,
00:27:19I can't even say
00:27:20his Muslim name.
00:27:21Yeah,
00:27:22it can be difficult.
00:27:23But you know what?
00:27:24I want to show,
00:27:26because it's key
00:27:27to this conversation.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:29And I heard it last night
00:27:33on my way into work.
00:27:36El-Hajj Malik
00:27:37El-Shabazz.
00:27:39Okay.
00:27:40He's like,
00:27:40I am not going to talk
00:27:42about the man Malcolm X
00:27:43because the man Malcolm X
00:27:45had very
00:27:46polarizing views,
00:27:49very racist views,
00:27:50views that were not
00:27:51in line with the views
00:27:53of Allah.
00:27:53I'm going to talk
00:27:56about
00:27:56El-Hajj Malik
00:27:58El-Shabazz,
00:28:00a man that lived
00:28:01for three months.
00:28:03And
00:28:04that
00:28:05really
00:28:06kind of
00:28:06emboldened me
00:28:07for this podcast
00:28:08today.
00:28:09Because
00:28:10it's like,
00:28:12yeah,
00:28:12we can talk
00:28:14about Hulk Hogan,
00:28:15but we also
00:28:16have to talk
00:28:17about Terry Bollea.
00:28:19Exactly.
00:28:20And
00:28:20you have to
00:28:22differentiate
00:28:23the two.
00:28:24But Hulk Hogan,
00:28:25that's why I
00:28:26spoke the way
00:28:27I did.
00:28:29Because
00:28:29I want to
00:28:30make sure
00:28:31we're clear.
00:28:32Hulk Hogan
00:28:33deserves
00:28:35reverence
00:28:36for what he did
00:28:36for professional
00:28:37wrestling.
00:28:39But
00:28:39you don't
00:28:40have to,
00:28:41because you
00:28:41honor Hulk Hogan,
00:28:43you're not,
00:28:43you do not
00:28:44honor Terry Bollea.
00:28:46Right.
00:28:46Right.
00:28:47Terry Bollea
00:28:47was not
00:28:49based on
00:28:51evidence,
00:28:52not
00:28:52personal
00:28:53opinion.
00:28:54If we're
00:28:55just looking
00:28:55at the
00:28:56evidence,
00:28:56not a
00:28:57good person.
00:28:59Yeah,
00:28:59Terry Bollea
00:29:00did not
00:29:00live up to
00:29:01the character
00:29:02that he
00:29:02played.
00:29:03Right.
00:29:04In a sense.
00:29:05Even on
00:29:06the most
00:29:07minuscule
00:29:07thing of
00:29:08taking,
00:29:09say your
00:29:09prayers,
00:29:10take your
00:29:10vitamins.

00:29:26and,
00:29:29you know,
00:29:29I mean,

00:29:32you know,
00:29:35to his
00:29:36coworkers
00:29:37when his
00:29:38run was
00:29:39really hitting
00:29:40the ground
00:29:40running.
00:29:41he could
00:29:42have been
00:29:43a force
00:29:44of so
00:29:44good in
00:29:44professional
00:29:45wrestling.
00:29:46Had he
00:29:47went to
00:29:48Vince McMahon
00:29:48and said,
00:29:49Vince,
00:29:50brother,
00:29:50think we
00:29:51need to
00:29:51allow the
00:29:51boys to
00:29:53union up.
00:29:54Yeah.
00:29:55They could
00:29:56have been
00:29:56so protected
00:29:57and so
00:29:58much better
00:29:59off.
00:30:00But no,
00:30:00what did
00:30:01he do?
00:30:02He went

00:30:15of my

00:30:23you want
00:30:24to talk
00:30:24about a
00:30:25man?
00:30:26I feel
00:30:26this.
00:30:27A man
00:30:28is a
00:30:28man's
00:30:29character
00:30:29when he
00:30:30passes on
00:30:31a man's
00:30:32character is
00:30:32best shown
00:30:33by his
00:30:33peers.
00:30:34How many
00:30:35wrestlers
00:30:36have come
00:30:38out and
00:30:39said,
00:30:40rest in
00:30:40peace,
00:30:40Hulkster?
00:30:41hundreds.
00:30:42Let's
00:30:43think back
00:30:44to when
00:30:46someone that
00:30:48was highly
00:30:48regarded in
00:30:49the world of
00:30:50professional
00:30:50wrestling passed
00:30:51away.
00:30:53Let's look at
00:30:54the condolences
00:30:55that the,
00:30:56the statements
00:30:57that came out
00:30:58when Macho
00:30:59Man Randy
00:30:59Savage came
00:31:00out,
00:31:01when Macho
00:31:02Man died.
00:31:02We're talking
00:31:04paragraphs.
00:31:05Oh,
00:31:06yeah.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:07Hogan,
00:31:08three to four
00:31:10lines.
00:31:11Randy Savage
00:31:11was much
00:31:12more respected
00:31:14and look,
00:31:15I have to
00:31:17acknowledge though,
00:31:17I can't say
00:31:18anything about
00:31:18that without
00:31:19some of my
00:31:19own bias
00:31:20creeping in
00:31:20for people
00:31:21who don't
00:31:21know.
00:31:22Macho Man
00:31:23Randy Savage
00:31:23is my
00:31:24all-time
00:31:24favorite.
00:31:25I mean,
00:31:25my all-time
00:31:26favorite is
00:31:27still alive.
00:31:28So,
00:31:28I'm sure,
00:31:30but again,
00:31:30I'm sure
00:31:31when Brett
00:31:31passes away,
00:31:32you're going
00:31:33to get more
00:31:35thought-provoking
00:31:36statements
00:31:37than just
00:31:40rest in
00:31:41peace,
00:31:42Hulkster,
00:31:42thoughts and
00:31:43condolences go
00:31:44out to your
00:31:44family.
00:31:46But there's
00:31:46also,
00:31:46we're talking
00:31:47about respected
00:31:48guys that did
00:31:49this on social
00:31:50media,
00:31:50guys,
00:31:51The Undertaker,
00:31:52Steve Austin,
00:31:54they kept it
00:31:56short and sweet.
00:31:57And it was
00:31:58literally like a
00:31:59boilerplate,
00:32:01you know.
00:32:01part of the
00:32:02problem,
00:32:03though,
00:32:03too,
00:32:03is because
00:32:04of,
00:32:05and really,
00:32:06I think it's
00:32:07more about,
00:32:08if we were to
00:32:09trace it back to
00:32:10one specific
00:32:11moment in time,
00:32:12that recording
00:32:13where he's using
00:32:14the N-word
00:32:14multiple times
00:32:15and complaining
00:32:15about his,
00:32:16I don't know if
00:32:16we were ever
00:32:17specific about
00:32:19this part,
00:32:19that he was
00:32:20complaining about
00:32:20his daughter
00:32:21being in an
00:32:21interracial
00:32:22relationship.
00:32:22No,
00:32:22it was clear
00:32:23because he
00:32:23said the
00:32:24line.
00:32:28I just mean,
00:32:29I don't know
00:32:29if we were clear
00:32:30about it when
00:32:30talking about it
00:32:31for people
00:32:31who don't
00:32:32know.
00:32:32Oh,
00:32:32I thought
00:32:33you,
00:32:33I thought
00:32:34you meant,
00:32:35uh,
00:32:36no,
00:32:36he,
00:32:37Hogan's,
00:32:37thoughts and
00:32:38feelings during
00:32:38that tirade
00:32:39were very clear.
00:32:40He did not
00:32:41approve of his
00:32:42daughter being
00:32:42in an interracial
00:32:43relationship and
00:32:44that's why
00:32:44I was like,
00:32:47I think it was
00:32:47made pretty clear
00:32:48when he's like,
00:32:49she could be
00:32:49dating a million
00:32:50dollar,
00:32:51six foot eight
00:32:52N-word that
00:32:53right.
00:32:54Oh yeah,
00:32:54no,
00:32:55it was no Hogan,
00:32:56Hogan's thoughts
00:32:57were very clear.
00:32:58I think,
00:32:58but I think if,
00:32:59you know,
00:32:59if you trace it
00:33:00back to that
00:33:01one moment in
00:33:02time,
00:33:02that's,
00:33:03that's the,
00:33:03the crux of what
00:33:04is so deeply
00:33:05disappointing.
00:33:06Oh,
00:33:07go ahead.
00:33:08Even recently,
00:33:10he could have
00:33:11shown contrition
00:33:11for it.
00:33:12When he was
00:33:13booed on the
00:33:15Netflix premiere,
00:33:16heavily booed,
00:33:18booed out of the
00:33:19building,
00:33:20go home heat.
00:33:22Oh yeah.
00:33:22on the Pat
00:33:24McAfee show.
00:33:26He's like,
00:33:27well,
00:33:28Los Angeles is a
00:33:29right,
00:33:30is a leftist
00:33:32city.
00:33:32And I,
00:33:33I supported
00:33:34Donald Trump.
00:33:34That's why they
00:33:35booed.
00:33:36No,
00:33:36he could have
00:33:37acknowledged it on
00:33:38that interview.
00:33:39I get,
00:33:40I said some very
00:33:40hurtful things.
00:33:41Yeah.
00:33:42He's never upset
00:33:43him.
00:33:43He's never been
00:33:44able to do that
00:33:46ever.
00:33:47Yeah.
00:33:48I mean,
00:33:48yes,
00:33:48he apologized
00:33:49on TV,
00:33:50but he,
00:33:51his apology
00:33:51was,
00:33:52it's not
00:33:52unlike me,
00:33:54dude,
00:33:55you said it,
00:33:56you were racist.
00:33:57Yeah.
00:33:58It,
00:33:58yeah,
00:33:59it is like
00:34:00you.
00:34:01Um,
00:34:02but,
00:34:03but I wanted
00:34:05to connect
00:34:05that though,
00:34:07that,
00:34:07that specific
00:34:08moment being
00:34:09the biggest
00:34:10problem for
00:34:10him to the
00:34:12responses from,
00:34:13from wrestling
00:34:14wrestlers who
00:34:15have to comment
00:34:16because I
00:34:17don't know if
00:34:18you saw the
00:34:18Chelsea green
00:34:19thing,
00:34:19but she got
00:34:22dragged.
00:34:23She ended up
00:34:23having to
00:34:23apologize because,
00:34:25and she shouldn't
00:34:26have,
00:34:26but she did.
00:34:27And she,
00:34:28by all accounts,
00:34:28Chelsea green is a
00:34:29wonderful person
00:34:30from everything I've
00:34:31read about her
00:34:31online.
00:34:31She's,
00:34:32she's very well
00:34:33liked by management
00:34:34at WWE.
00:34:35Everyone loves
00:34:35Chelsea green.
00:34:36She portrays a
00:34:37heel on TV,
00:34:38but she's actually
00:34:39a great person in
00:34:40real life,
00:34:40apparently.
00:34:41Um,
00:34:42and even the
00:34:43heel that she
00:34:43plays is very
00:34:44likable,
00:34:44but,
00:34:45but anyway,
00:34:45uh,
00:34:46so she,
00:34:46she said
00:34:47something I,
00:34:47I don't have
00:34:48in front of me
00:34:48the exact
00:34:48comment,
00:34:49but it was
00:34:49something like,
00:34:50um,
00:34:51I didn't agree
00:34:52with this
00:34:53politics,
00:34:53but Hulk Hogan
00:34:54is an icon
00:34:55and I'm,
00:34:56I'm so sorry
00:34:57he's gone or
00:34:57something like
00:34:58that.
00:34:58But,
00:34:58but she led
00:34:59with,
00:35:00uh,
00:35:01Paul,
00:35:01something like
00:35:02politics aside,
00:35:03or I didn't
00:35:03agree with
00:35:03politics.
00:35:04And because
00:35:04she led
00:35:05with that,
00:35:06she got
00:35:07dragged on,
00:35:09on the internet
00:35:10by all these
00:35:11people who are
00:35:11furious with her,
00:35:12felt that she
00:35:13was being
00:35:13disrespectful.
00:35:14And because
00:35:15I got something
00:35:16to say about,
00:35:16and by the way,
00:35:17she ended up
00:35:17apologizing.
00:35:18She made a
00:35:19follow-up statement
00:35:19saying she
00:35:20apologizes if she
00:35:21hurt anyone's
00:35:21feelings.
00:35:22And,
00:35:22you know,
00:35:23and here's the
00:35:24thing.
00:35:25It's this
00:35:25minefield that
00:35:27everyone has to
00:35:28walk into,
00:35:29including Chelsea
00:35:30Green.
00:35:31She's,
00:35:31she's trying to
00:35:32do something nice.
00:35:33She's trying to
00:35:33offer condolences,
00:35:34but,
00:35:35you know,
00:35:36Chelsea Green
00:35:37didn't put the
00:35:38minefield there.
00:35:39Nobody did.
00:35:41Hulk Hogan
00:35:42created that
00:35:43minefield.
00:35:44Or,
00:35:44let me be more
00:35:45precise.
00:35:45Terry Bollea
00:35:46created that
00:35:47minefield that
00:35:48everyone now has
00:35:49to walk through
00:35:50now that he's
00:35:50gone in terms of
00:35:51expressing condolences.
00:35:53Because if you
00:35:53happen to be
00:35:54someone who,
00:35:56you know,
00:35:56you want to
00:35:57express condolences
00:35:58because it's Hulk
00:35:58Hogan,
00:35:59maybe you're like
00:36:00us, you know,
00:36:00a big part of
00:36:01our childhoods,
00:36:01et cetera.
00:36:02So you want to,
00:36:03you want to express
00:36:04condolences for
00:36:05the character of
00:36:06Hulk Hogan.
00:36:06But while you're
00:36:08at it,
00:36:08you don't want
00:36:09anyone to take
00:36:09that the wrong
00:36:10way and think
00:36:11that you're okay
00:36:11with what he did
00:36:13and, you know,
00:36:14using the N-word
00:36:15and all that.
00:36:16And you end up
00:36:17getting dragged
00:36:18for it.
00:36:18And it's like,
00:36:19and I think that's
00:36:20why a lot of
00:36:21people just don't
00:36:21want to say
00:36:22anything.
00:36:23Because it's a
00:36:23no-win situation.
00:36:25You know,
00:36:25how do you express
00:36:27condolence?
00:36:27Because, again,
00:36:28we live in this
00:36:29binary world now
00:36:30where, you know,
00:36:31so I guess
00:36:33from the perspective
00:36:34of a lot of
00:36:35people,
00:36:35you have to be
00:36:36all in on
00:36:37Hulk Hogan.
00:36:38And now that
00:36:38he's gone,
00:36:38you can only
00:36:39say wonderful
00:36:39things.
00:36:40And if people
00:36:41think you're
00:36:42a racist
00:36:42because of it,
00:36:43oh, well,
00:36:44you either have
00:36:45to do that
00:36:45or you have
00:36:46to just ignore
00:36:47it.
00:36:48And obviously
00:36:49we're doing
00:36:49something more
00:36:50nuanced here
00:36:50because, you
00:36:51know,
00:36:52we're not
00:36:52binary thinkers.
00:36:53We can approach
00:36:54these things
00:36:54with nuance
00:36:55and critical
00:36:57thinking.
00:36:58But I don't
00:36:59know how much
00:36:59of a place
00:37:00for that there
00:37:00is in this
00:37:01world anymore
00:37:02because apparently
00:37:02you're not
00:37:03supposed to do
00:37:04that.
00:37:04It's very
00:37:05frustrating to me.
00:37:05And I feel
00:37:06terrible for
00:37:06what happened
00:37:06to Chelsea
00:37:07Green.
00:37:07She didn't
00:37:08deserve to be
00:37:08dragged for
00:37:09that.
00:37:09And she
00:37:10shouldn't have
00:37:10had to
00:37:10apologize.
00:37:11I don't
00:37:11think she
00:37:12should have
00:37:12apologized.
00:37:13I wish she
00:37:13had stuck
00:37:13to her
00:37:14guns.
00:37:14Maybe there
00:37:15was pressure
00:37:15on her
00:37:16from within
00:37:17TKO to
00:37:18apologize.
00:37:18I don't
00:37:19know.
00:37:19But yeah,
00:37:20she apologized
00:37:21asked for
00:37:21it.
00:37:23Look,
00:37:24Chelsea Green
00:37:26doesn't,
00:37:27no one
00:37:28deserves
00:37:29death threats
00:37:30or something
00:37:31they say
00:37:31online.
00:37:33I mean,
00:37:33even if it's
00:37:34the most
00:37:34inflammatory
00:37:35thing,
00:37:37there's a
00:37:38line you
00:37:39don't cross.
00:37:40And it
00:37:41has to be
00:37:41harrowing for
00:37:42Chelsea Green,
00:37:43not just as
00:37:44a public
00:37:44figure,
00:37:46but as a
00:37:47woman in
00:37:48America.
00:37:49Yeah.
00:37:50to have
00:37:52people sending
00:37:52these things
00:37:53to her.
00:37:55So yeah,
00:37:56I'm,
00:37:57that was,
00:37:58I was very
00:38:00hurt over
00:38:00that.
00:38:02I was also
00:38:03very,
00:38:04there was one
00:38:05wrestler's
00:38:05response I was
00:38:07very disappointed
00:38:07in.
00:38:09Mick Foley's.
00:38:10Oh,
00:38:10I didn't see
00:38:11this yet.
00:38:12Mick Foley
00:38:13came out
00:38:13and said,
00:38:14I think you
00:38:16should wait
00:38:1672 hours
00:38:17after someone
00:38:18dies before
00:38:19you say
00:38:19anything
00:38:20negative
00:38:20about that.
00:38:21Really?
00:38:22I'm like,
00:38:23no,
00:38:24because you
00:38:25got to
00:38:26present the
00:38:27whole picture,
00:38:28Mick.
00:38:28Right,
00:38:28right.
00:38:29And,
00:38:29you know,
00:38:30like,
00:38:31the whole
00:38:32picture,
00:38:34Hulk Hogan,
00:38:35according to
00:38:36reports,
00:38:37was allowed
00:38:38to meet his
00:38:39grandchildren
00:38:39because of the
00:38:40psychological abuse
00:38:41he put on
00:38:42his daughter.
00:38:43I didn't know
00:38:44that.
00:38:44Wow.
00:38:44Yeah.
00:38:44I mean,
00:38:46I knew,
00:38:46I knew there
00:38:47was a
00:38:47estrangement,
00:38:48but I
00:38:48didn't,
00:38:48I didn't
00:38:48know that
00:38:49specifically.
00:38:50I mean,
00:38:51we're talking
00:38:52about a
00:38:53guy that
00:38:54even after
00:38:55he was
00:38:56baptized,
00:38:57did a
00:38:58video of
00:38:59him and
00:39:00his current
00:39:00wife laughing
00:39:02at his
00:39:03ex-wife having
00:39:04a mental
00:39:04breakdown on
00:39:05Facebook Live
00:39:06while eating
00:39:06popcorn.
00:39:07Yeah.
00:39:09Like,
00:39:11like,
00:39:11you can have
00:39:13an issue
00:39:13with your
00:39:14ex-wife.
00:39:14Divorces are
00:39:15messy.
00:39:15I totally
00:39:16get that.
00:39:17But,
00:39:18at that
00:39:19point,
00:39:20it's obvious
00:39:20she has
00:39:21some mental
00:39:22health issues.
00:39:23And on
00:39:24this,
00:39:24and on
00:39:25thread,
00:39:25someone said,
00:39:26yeah,
00:39:26you seem to
00:39:27forget that
00:39:27she cheated
00:39:29on Hulk
00:39:29with her
00:39:30son's
00:39:3117-year-old
00:39:32friend.
00:39:33Well,
00:39:34you seem to
00:39:34forget that
00:39:35Hulk was
00:39:36unfaithing
00:39:37faithful to
00:39:38her for
00:39:38decades.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:41Yeah,
00:39:42I mean,
00:39:43and the
00:39:43psychological
00:39:44abuse he
00:39:45put her
00:39:45through,
00:39:45that she
00:39:46documented
00:39:46in her
00:39:47book.
00:39:48Whether
00:39:48it's true
00:39:49or not,
00:39:51that's up
00:39:52to you to
00:39:53decide.
00:39:54But,
00:39:54I don't
00:39:55think you
00:39:55can make
00:39:56up the
00:39:57stuff she
00:39:57said in
00:39:58that book.
00:39:59Yeah,

00:40:05much attention

00:40:06But yeah,
00:40:08I mean,

00:42:03for some
00:42:03reason,
00:42:04I,
00:42:04I'm
00:42:05remembering
00:42:05when,
00:42:06when Richard
00:42:06Nixon
00:42:07died,
00:42:07and,
00:42:08you know,
00:42:10people
00:42:10tried to
00:42:11find most
00:42:12of the
00:42:12eulogizing
00:42:13and all
00:42:15of it
00:42:15memorializing
00:42:17that I
00:42:17saw in
00:42:18the media
00:42:18was,
00:42:19was positive.
00:42:19People were
00:42:20trying to
00:42:20say positive
00:42:20things about
00:42:21Nixon,
00:42:21focus on
00:42:22some of
00:42:22his foreign
00:42:22policy
00:42:23achievements
00:42:23and whatnot.
00:42:25And I
00:42:25remember
00:42:25seeing
00:42:26Michael
00:42:26Kinsley.
00:42:26I don't
00:42:27know if
00:42:27you remember
00:42:27Michael
00:42:27Kinsley.
00:42:29Do not.
00:42:30He,
00:42:30he was the
00:42:31liberal host
00:42:31on Crossfire
00:42:32during its,
00:42:33its early
00:42:34days.
00:42:35And I
00:42:36remember seeing
00:42:36him going
00:42:36on the
00:42:37Conan O'Brien
00:42:38show at
00:42:38the time,
00:42:39and I used
00:42:39to love
00:42:40Conan.
00:42:40And they
00:42:41were talking
00:42:42about Nixon
00:42:42and Michael
00:42:43Kinsley
00:42:43said,
00:42:43you know,
00:42:44just because
00:42:45he,
00:42:46he,
00:42:46he's dead
00:42:47doesn't mean
00:42:47we have to
00:42:48forget that
00:42:48he was evil.
00:42:50You know,
00:42:50so he was
00:42:51kind of
00:42:51breaking ranks
00:42:52with the
00:42:52rest of the
00:42:52media.
00:42:53He's like,
00:42:53you know,
00:42:53this guy
00:42:54did some
00:42:54really evil
00:42:55stuff.
00:42:55And I
00:42:56don't know
00:42:57why everyone
00:42:57thinks we
00:42:58have to
00:42:58just suddenly
00:42:58forget that
00:42:59because he's
00:43:00dead.
00:43:01And it was,
00:43:02you know,
00:43:02he was very
00:43:02blunt about it,
00:43:03which was,
00:43:04it was funny.
00:43:04But,
00:43:05but yeah,
00:43:05I mean,
00:43:06I think if you're
00:43:07going to honor
00:43:07somebody,
00:43:08you know,
00:43:08you have to
00:43:08present the
00:43:09whole picture.
00:43:09I think it's
00:43:10dishonest.
00:43:10I think,
00:43:11I think to,
00:43:12to present
00:43:13that in a
00:43:14dishonest way,
00:43:16even if it's
00:43:17just,
00:43:17you know,
00:43:18lying by
00:43:18omission,
00:43:19I think is
00:43:20actually dishonoring
00:43:21the memory
00:43:21of that
00:43:22person.
00:43:23People are
00:43:24complex and
00:43:24they have
00:43:24multi-dimensions
00:43:25and there's
00:43:26good and bad
00:43:27in everybody
00:43:27and there's
00:43:28some pretty
00:43:28bad stuff
00:43:29in Terry
00:43:29Bollea,
00:43:30but I don't
00:43:31think it,
00:43:31I don't think
00:43:31it honors
00:43:32his memory
00:43:33to just
00:43:33pretend that,
00:43:35that he was
00:43:36all sunshine
00:43:36and roses.
00:43:38No.
00:43:39And,
00:43:39you know,
00:43:40I honestly,
00:43:41I mean,
00:43:42I remember
00:43:42as a kid,
00:43:43I watched
00:43:44many a Hulk
00:43:45Hogan
00:43:46matches and
00:43:47they were
00:43:48positive
00:43:49memories,
00:43:50but it's
00:43:51also like,
00:43:53you know,
00:43:54I think as
00:43:54you get
00:43:55older,
00:43:56you become
00:43:56more jaded.
00:43:58Yeah.
00:43:59In a sense,
00:44:00because you
00:44:00do,
00:44:01as you get
00:44:02older,
00:44:02you do see
00:44:03your heroes
00:44:04fall.
00:44:05And some
00:44:06of them
00:44:06fall hard.
00:44:09And Hogan
00:44:10fell hard.
00:44:11I mean,
00:44:12we haven't
00:44:12even talked
00:44:13about the
00:44:13Gawker
00:44:14sex tape
00:44:15scandal.
00:44:16Right.
00:44:17Which,
00:44:17I have
00:44:19my own
00:44:19beliefs on
00:44:20that.
00:44:21I don't,
00:44:22I think
00:44:24that was a
00:44:24setup from
00:44:25the word
00:44:26go to get
00:44:26Hogan
00:44:27millions.
00:44:29You do?
00:44:29You think
00:44:29so,
00:44:30really?
00:44:31Yeah.
00:44:31He had
00:44:32sex with
00:44:32his best
00:44:34friend's
00:44:34wife,
00:44:35didn't
00:44:37know he
00:44:38was being
00:44:39recorded.
00:44:40The tape
00:44:42just
00:44:42miraculously
00:44:43falls in
00:44:44the hands
00:44:45of one
00:44:46of the
00:44:47top
00:44:48unscrupulous
00:44:50media
00:44:50outlets and
00:44:51Gawker.
00:44:53There are
00:44:54so,
00:44:54and he
00:44:55had just
00:44:55lost
00:44:57nearly his
00:44:58entire fortune
00:44:59in a
00:44:59divorce.
00:45:01Yeah.
00:45:02Like,
00:45:03there's
00:45:04too many
00:45:05coinketings
00:45:06here to
00:45:08sit here
00:45:09and be
00:45:09like,
00:45:10really?
00:45:11No.
00:45:12I think
00:45:13there was a
00:45:14middleman
00:45:14that got
00:45:15the tape
00:45:16from Bubba
00:45:16the Love
00:45:17Sponge,
00:45:18submitted it
00:45:19to Gawker,
00:45:20and then I
00:45:20think someone
00:45:21else planted
00:45:22the information
00:45:23to Peter Thiel,
00:45:24knowing Peter
00:45:25Thiel had a
00:45:26major axe to
00:45:27grind with
00:45:28Docker and
00:45:29had the
00:45:29millions to
00:45:30help Hogan
00:45:31do it.
00:45:33So,
00:45:34yeah,
00:45:35and everyone's
00:45:35like,
00:45:36well,
00:45:36he only
00:45:36settled for
00:45:37$25 million
00:45:39or whatever
00:45:40settlement got
00:45:42after the
00:45:42$110 million
00:45:43judgment,
00:45:44but it's
00:45:45like,
00:45:46yeah,
00:45:46when you're
00:45:47worth like
00:45:48$500K,
00:45:49it's a lot
00:45:50of money.
00:45:51Yeah.
00:45:52No,
00:45:52it was a
00:45:54setup.
00:45:56Yeah,
00:45:56I mean,
00:45:57I'm not much
00:45:57of a conspiracy
00:45:58theorist,
00:45:59but I
00:45:59think,
00:46:00but,
00:46:00you know,
00:46:01it's
00:46:01incredible what
00:46:02you've presented
00:46:03because the
00:46:04actual story
00:46:06that has been
00:46:06told,
00:46:07I mean,
00:46:07you're right,
00:46:08it is pretty
00:46:09incredible that
00:46:10that all worked
00:46:10out the way
00:46:11it did,
00:46:11isn't it?
00:46:12Oh,
00:46:12everything's
00:46:13coming up,
00:46:14Hulkster!
00:46:15Yeah,
00:46:16yeah,
00:46:16it is pretty
00:46:17remarkable.
00:46:20Do you
00:46:20think,
00:46:21and,
00:46:21you know,
00:46:22look,
00:46:22obviously we
00:46:23don't do
00:46:23politics on
00:46:24this show,
00:46:24but it's
00:46:25almost impossible
00:46:27in this
00:46:27instance to
00:46:28avoid it
00:46:28completely,
00:46:29because that's
00:46:31also a part
00:46:31of Hogan's
00:46:32legacy.
00:46:34Do you
00:46:35think,
00:46:35were it
00:46:36not for
00:46:36the Gawker
00:46:38lawsuit and
00:46:39Peter Thiel
00:46:39getting involved
00:46:40and because he
00:46:41bankrolled
00:46:42Hogan's lawsuit,
00:46:43obviously,
00:46:45if that all
00:46:46doesn't happen,
00:46:47do you think
00:46:48Hogan still
00:46:50ends up
00:46:50being at
00:46:53the Republican
00:46:54convention in
00:46:552024?
00:46:57Do you
00:46:57think all
00:46:58of that
00:46:58happens?
00:46:58Because I
00:46:59feel like
00:46:59there's a
00:46:59through line
00:47:00there,
00:47:01but I
00:47:02don't know.
00:47:03Look,
00:47:03Hogan and
00:47:04Trump had
00:47:05a friendship.
00:47:07I mean,
00:47:08WrestleMania
00:47:09was at
00:47:10Trump
00:47:10Casino
00:47:14two years
00:47:14in a row.
00:47:15Yeah.
00:47:16One of them,
00:47:17the greatest
00:47:18night of your
00:47:18favorite wrestlers
00:47:19career,
00:47:22WrestleMania
00:47:224,
00:47:23and then
00:47:24WrestleMania
00:47:245.
00:47:25Yep.
00:47:26Yep.
00:47:27So,
00:47:29I think he
00:47:30speaks at
00:47:33the Republican
00:47:33National Convention.
00:47:35I don't think
00:47:35he's the keynote
00:47:36speaker that
00:47:37brings out
00:47:38Donald Trump.
00:47:39Yeah.
00:47:42And,
00:47:43look,
00:47:44you can argue
00:47:45that,
00:47:46and there are
00:47:46some people
00:47:47that have
00:47:48argued this,
00:47:48that Hogan
00:47:51was right
00:47:52that he
00:47:53was booed
00:47:53because of
00:47:54his association
00:47:55with Donald
00:47:56Trump.
00:47:57I counter
00:47:58with
00:47:58Undertaker
00:48:00is a
00:48:01Donald Trump
00:48:01supporter,
00:48:02and he
00:48:03was reigned
00:48:05with cheers
00:48:05at that
00:48:07same Netflix
00:48:08premiere.
00:48:09Yeah,
00:48:09absolutely.
00:48:10Yeah.
00:48:11Yeah.
00:48:11Politics had
00:48:12nothing to do
00:48:12with it.
00:48:13I think
00:48:13politics might
00:48:14have been,
00:48:15I think it
00:48:15might have
00:48:15been,
00:48:16it was not
00:48:17the cause,
00:48:18but I
00:48:18think it
00:48:18might have
00:48:18been another
00:48:19log on
00:48:19that fire.
00:48:21I think
00:48:22for a lot
00:48:22of people
00:48:22who were
00:48:23probably there
00:48:23in that
00:48:24crowd,
00:48:24in that
00:48:25LA crowd,
00:48:26it was like,
00:48:27I think,
00:48:29see,
00:48:30it's hard
00:48:30to know.
00:48:30See,
00:48:30we'll never
00:48:31know.
00:48:31We can
00:48:31speculate
00:48:32all we want
00:48:32to.
00:48:32It's so
00:48:32hard to
00:48:33know.
00:48:33But I
00:48:34think that
00:48:35Hogan,
00:48:36speaking at
00:48:37the Republican
00:48:38convention,
00:48:39for a lot
00:48:40of people,
00:48:40and it is
00:48:41a blue
00:48:41state,
00:48:42I think
00:48:44it was
00:48:44another log
00:48:45on the
00:48:45fire,
00:48:45the same
00:48:47fire,
00:48:48people aren't
00:48:49going to,
00:48:49some people
00:48:50are going to
00:48:50get mad at
00:48:50me for
00:48:51this,
00:48:51but the
00:48:52same fire
00:48:53that was
00:48:55ignited by
00:48:57his comments.
00:48:58Maybe,
00:48:59maybe.
00:49:00I know what
00:49:00you're trying
00:49:00to say,
00:49:01and I get
00:49:01it.
00:49:02Yeah,
00:49:02it might
00:49:03not have
00:49:03been the
00:49:04factor,
00:49:04but maybe
00:49:05it was
00:49:05a factor.
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:07And there's
00:49:08a difference
00:49:09there.
00:49:11Yeah,
00:49:12I,
00:49:13and,
00:49:14you know,
00:49:15there,
00:49:15and to
00:49:16prove that
00:49:16I'm not
00:49:17just a
00:49:17hard-hearted
00:49:18asshole on
00:49:21this,
00:49:22it is sad
00:49:22that that
00:49:23is Hulk Hogan's
00:49:24last WWE
00:49:24appearance.
00:49:26It is.
00:49:27Yeah,
00:49:27it is sad.
00:49:28It is sad
00:49:28that that's
00:49:30how he's
00:49:31going to be
00:49:32remembered.
00:49:34But at
00:49:36the same
00:49:36time,
00:49:37it's,
00:49:37can you
00:49:38really say
00:49:39he deserved
00:49:40better?
00:49:41No,
00:49:42I can't.
00:49:44Under the
00:49:45circumstances
00:49:46at the time,
00:49:47no,
00:49:47I can't.
00:49:48I'm like,
00:49:49I'm like,
00:49:50am I going
00:49:50to sit
00:49:51here and
00:49:51pretend like
00:49:52I'm like,
00:49:54you know,
00:49:55that I'm
00:49:57heartbroken
00:49:58that that's
00:49:58what he got?
00:50:00No,
00:50:00I mean,
00:50:01we were all
00:50:01pretty entertained
00:50:02by it,
00:50:02actually,
00:50:03right?
00:50:03Well,
00:50:03I shouldn't
00:50:03say we all.
00:50:04Some people
00:50:05were honored.
00:50:05Maybe they
00:50:10did just
00:50:11hate Jimmy
00:50:12Hart.
00:50:12Maybe Jimmy
00:50:13Hart just
00:50:14got under
00:50:14everyone's
00:50:14skin that
00:50:15night.
00:50:16With his
00:50:17half-assed
00:50:18waving of
00:50:18that American
00:50:19flag.
00:50:20Oh,
00:50:20I don't think
00:50:20it was half-assed.
00:50:21I mean,
00:50:22he's an 80-year-old
00:50:22man,
00:50:23but I think
00:50:23he was putting
00:50:24everything he
00:50:24could have
00:50:24done.
00:50:25Hey,
00:50:26Hulk Hogan,
00:50:27the next day
00:50:28on his press
00:50:29conference on
00:50:29the Pat McAfee
00:50:30show,
00:50:31said it was
00:50:31a half-assed
00:50:32waving of
00:50:33that American
00:50:33flag.
00:50:34That's right.
00:50:34That's right.
00:50:35And he
00:50:36challenged
00:50:37a who's
00:50:37who of
00:50:38WWE
00:50:39wrestlers.
00:50:41We got to
00:50:42clarify this
00:50:42for people
00:50:43who haven't
00:50:43seen it.
00:50:44So for
00:50:44people who
00:50:45don't know,
00:50:45so the next
00:50:46day on
00:50:46Pat McAfee's
00:50:47show,
00:50:48there was a
00:50:48guy pretending
00:50:50to be Hogan.
00:50:51They did this
00:50:51bit where they

00:52:22Wow.
00:52:24Jeez.
00:52:25And to be
00:52:26fair,
00:52:26Darius Butler
00:52:27was born on
00:52:28an Air Force
00:52:28base in
00:52:29Germany.
00:52:30He's like,
00:52:30real American
00:52:31beer is only
00:52:32for real
00:52:32Americans,
00:52:33brother.
00:52:33That's funny.
00:52:35Do you think
00:52:36that there
00:52:37were there
00:52:37was any
00:52:38conversations
00:52:39or any
00:52:40hand-wringing
00:52:40about whether
00:52:41or not to
00:52:41do,
00:52:42you know,
00:52:43on Smackdown,
00:52:44they did the
00:52:4410-bell salute
00:52:45where they had
00:52:45everybody come
00:52:46out on the
00:52:46stage.
00:52:46Tommaso Ciampa
00:52:47not wearing
00:52:48a shirt,
00:52:48by the way,
00:52:48which looked
00:52:49strange for
00:52:50a tribute
00:52:51to someone
00:52:51who just
00:52:51died.
00:52:53But do you
00:52:54think there
00:52:55were,
00:52:55because that,
00:52:57I wasn't sure
00:52:58they were going
00:52:58to,
00:52:58I mean,
00:52:59I had no doubt
00:52:59they were going
00:53:00to do a big
00:53:00tribute to Hogan
00:53:01maybe with a
00:53:02long video
00:53:03or something,
00:53:03but the actual
00:53:0410-bell salute,
00:53:05I wasn't sure
00:53:06they were going
00:53:06to do that
00:53:07because that
00:53:08puts everybody
00:53:08who's out there
00:53:09in an awkward
00:53:10position,
00:53:10right?
00:53:11Because then
00:53:12you're looking
00:53:13to tell
00:53:13some of
00:53:14them were
00:53:14in an awkward
00:53:15position.
00:53:15Some of
00:53:16them did
00:53:16look uncomfortable,
00:53:17didn't they?
00:53:18Yeah,
00:53:19Solo Sokoa,
00:53:21Jacob Fatu,
00:53:23there were
00:53:27others.
00:53:29Yeah,
00:53:29if you're a
00:53:30person of
00:53:30color,
00:53:30especially,
00:53:31right,
00:53:31how do you
00:53:32stand out
00:53:32there for
00:53:33this and
00:53:33not feel
00:53:34like,
00:53:35this is
00:53:36kind of
00:53:36weird,
00:53:37I don't
00:53:37know,
00:53:39I don't
00:53:41know if I
00:53:41should be
00:53:41here.
00:53:43looking up
00:53:43something to
00:53:44send so you
00:53:45can share
00:53:45it with
00:53:45the audience
00:53:48because it's
00:53:49very telling.
00:53:50Really?
00:53:51Very,
00:53:51very telling.
00:53:52And I'm
00:53:52wondering,
00:53:53too,
00:53:53and I say
00:53:54this only
00:53:54half kidding,
00:53:55do you think
00:53:56Tommaso Ciampa
00:53:57not wearing a
00:53:58shirt was some
00:53:58form of,
00:53:59like,
00:54:00was he sending
00:54:01a signal with
00:54:02that?
00:54:03Because that
00:54:03was weird.
00:54:05And I understand
00:54:06it's summertime
00:54:07and he's probably
00:54:07hot,
00:54:08but...
00:54:08Tommaso Ciampa's
00:54:09crazy.
00:54:10So,
00:54:12yeah,
00:54:13I know,
00:54:13guys,
00:54:14and nothing
00:54:15negative,
00:54:16just Tommaso Ciampa
00:54:17is a very
00:54:18weird bird.
00:54:21And so,
00:54:23I think you
00:54:25might be reading
00:54:26too much into
00:54:26it.
00:54:27Tommaso Ciampa
00:54:27was probably
00:54:28just like,
00:54:29I don't care.
00:54:30I just sent it
00:54:30to you on
00:54:31Facebook,
00:54:31Matt.
00:54:32Yeah,
00:54:33I'm grabbing
00:54:33it now.
00:54:34Let's see here.
00:54:35I had not
00:54:37seen this
00:54:39picture before,
00:54:39but glancing
00:54:40at it
00:54:41as I get
00:54:42it loaded
00:54:42up here,
00:54:43I see what
00:54:44you mean.

00:54:49AJ Styles
00:54:49is in tears.
00:54:51Well,
00:54:52now,
00:54:53now,
00:54:54I need to
00:54:54jump in.
00:54:55Okay.
00:54:55We need to
00:54:56understand,
00:54:57when Hogan
00:54:58was in
00:54:58TNA
00:54:59wrestling,
00:55:01he really,
00:55:02I mean,
00:55:03AJ was
00:55:03over like
00:55:04Rover,
00:55:05but he

00:55:06over to
00:55:06another level.
00:55:08Yeah.

00:55:11to be fair
00:55:11to AJ
00:55:12Styles,
00:55:13Hogan

00:55:17That's fair.

00:56:49very telling
00:56:49statement.
00:56:50So there's
00:56:51a,
00:56:51somebody said
00:56:53condolences
00:56:53to you,
00:56:54Tony,
00:56:54for the
00:56:55loss of
00:56:55your friend.
00:56:56And Tony
00:56:56said,
00:56:57friend,
00:56:58no,
00:56:59I saw
00:57:00that.
00:57:01Yes.
00:57:02I saw
00:57:02that.
00:57:02Yeah.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:04Jacob,
00:57:05uh,
00:57:06I don't know
00:57:07what to make
00:57:07of that.
00:57:09I mean,
00:57:09and there you
00:57:10see Tommaso
00:57:10Champa,
00:57:11it looks
00:57:12like Tommaso
00:57:12Champa is
00:57:14staring for
00:57:15a way out
00:57:16of this.
00:57:17Yeah.
00:57:17Champa didn't
00:57:17look like he
00:57:18wanted to be
00:57:19there either.
00:57:20That's why I
00:57:21kind of wonder
00:57:21about the not
00:57:22wearing a
00:57:23shirt.
00:57:23Like I
00:57:24really do.
00:57:25I wonder,
00:57:26was that like
00:57:26his way of
00:57:27saying kind
00:57:28of like,
00:57:29I'm not
00:57:29really feeling
00:57:30this.
00:57:30I,
00:57:30uh,
00:57:31yeah,
00:57:31there's a
00:57:32lot of
00:57:33telling faces
00:57:34in there.
00:57:35If you look
00:57:36at the one
00:57:36right by
00:57:37Jacob Fatu.
00:57:38Let me go,
00:57:39let me go
00:57:39back to that.
00:57:40Uh,
00:57:40yeah.
00:57:42Um,
00:57:42which one?
00:57:44The girl,
00:57:45I can't really
00:57:46tell who it
00:57:47is,
00:57:47but if you
00:57:48see her
00:57:48facial expression,
00:57:50it looks like
00:57:51someone just
00:57:51let a fart
00:57:52go in church.
00:57:53Yeah.
00:57:54I'm not sure
00:57:54who that is
00:57:55either.
00:57:55I was trying
00:57:55to figure that
00:57:56out.
00:57:56Well,
00:57:56whoever it is,
00:57:57too,
00:57:57she looks
00:57:57really young.
00:57:58She might
00:57:58be like,
00:57:58who's
00:57:58Hulk Hogan?
00:58:00No,
00:58:00but,
00:58:01uh,

00:58:05Yeah.
00:58:08But yeah,
00:58:09Jacob Fatu,
00:58:09man,
00:58:10that's quite
00:58:10the look.
00:58:12I think he
00:58:12just,
00:58:13did nobody
00:58:14tell him it's
00:58:14okay to break
00:58:15character for
00:58:16this,
00:58:16maybe?
00:58:17He looks
00:58:17like he's
00:58:18thinking,
00:58:18yeah,

00:58:59Yeah.
00:59:00Um,
00:59:01you know,
00:59:02uh,
00:59:03I wonder
00:59:04if CM
00:59:04Punk for
00:59:05SummerSlam
00:59:06will wear
00:59:06the red
00:59:06and yellow.
00:59:08Yeah,
00:59:09he's another,
00:59:09he hasn't
00:59:10said anything,
00:59:10right?
00:59:11He hasn't
00:59:11said anything
00:59:11publicly,
00:59:12right?
00:59:12No,
00:59:13and I
00:59:13doubt he
00:59:14will.
00:59:15Yeah.
00:59:15There's a,
00:59:16I was telling
00:59:17my cousin
00:59:18Austin about
00:59:19this.
00:59:19I'm like,
00:59:19I recall
00:59:20Roots of
00:59:22Fight,
00:59:22a high-end
00:59:23clothing company
00:59:24that does
00:59:24stuff for
00:59:25like clothing
00:59:26based on
00:59:27iconic
00:59:27athletes.
00:59:28SCM Punk
00:59:30to do
00:59:31a video
00:59:32talking good
00:59:33about Hulk
00:59:33Hogan
00:59:33and he
00:59:34just flat
00:59:35out said
00:59:35no.
00:59:36Yeah.
00:59:38Like,
00:59:39it wasn't
00:59:40even a
00:59:40discussion.
00:59:41I mean,
00:59:41CM Punk
00:59:42is a
00:59:43contracted
00:59:44athlete
00:59:44with Roots
00:59:45of Fight
00:59:46and he's
00:59:47like,
00:59:48no,
00:59:48no,
00:59:49I'm not
00:59:49doing
00:59:50that.
00:59:50No.
00:59:51So,
00:59:52now,
00:59:52there is
00:59:53a kind
00:59:53of a
00:59:53lingering
00:59:54question.
00:59:54I haven't
00:59:54seen this
00:59:55addressed
00:59:55anywhere,
00:59:56but what
00:59:56does,
00:59:57so what
00:59:57happens
00:59:57to,
00:59:58what the
01:00:00hell is
01:00:00it again?
01:00:01Real
01:00:01American
01:00:02freestyle.
01:00:03So what
01:00:04happens to
01:00:05that now?
01:00:05Because I'm
01:00:07pretty sure
01:00:07Hogan's not
01:00:08going to be
01:00:08there.
01:00:08Wow.
01:00:10What?
01:00:10No,
01:00:10I'm just
01:00:11saying.
01:00:12You
01:00:12think?
01:00:14You
01:00:14know,
01:00:15I think
01:00:15he could
01:00:18do a
01:00:19kick out
01:00:19at the
01:00:20hard
01:00:20two.
01:00:21Yeah,
01:00:21I think
01:00:21so.
01:00:22Yeah,
01:00:23like,
01:00:23because I
01:00:24saw this
01:00:25post and
01:00:25I shared
01:00:26it with
01:00:26you,
01:00:26Matt.
01:00:27That's
01:00:27like,
01:00:28Hogan's
01:00:28got to
01:00:29be cremated
01:00:29because no
01:00:30way is he
01:00:31going to
01:00:31let dirt
01:00:32get over
01:00:32on him.
01:00:35He
01:00:36ain't
01:00:36going to
01:00:36put dirt
01:00:37over.
01:00:38That's
01:00:39right.
01:00:39That's
01:00:40right.
01:00:40That doesn't
01:00:40work for
01:00:41him,
01:00:41brother.
01:00:43But yeah,
01:00:44so I have
01:00:45you seen
01:00:45anything about
01:00:46that?
01:00:46What happens
01:00:46to that?
01:00:47Going
01:00:47forward.
01:00:48Look,
01:00:49I said
01:00:50this,
01:00:50I have a
01:00:51theory.
01:00:52They could
01:00:52really use
01:00:53this to
01:00:54their
01:00:54advantage.
01:00:55Yeah.
01:00:56They could
01:00:56do a
01:00:56Hulk Hogan
01:00:57tribute
01:00:58show for
01:00:59their first
01:00:59show and
01:01:01tie it into
01:01:01Ben Askren's
01:01:02health problems.
01:01:05Yeah.
01:01:07Proceeds go
01:01:08to Ben
01:01:08Askren.
01:01:10Okay.
01:01:11I mean,
01:01:12money in
01:01:13the bank,
01:01:13dude,
01:01:13you could
01:01:14bring all
01:01:14those guys
01:01:15that the
01:01:16legends that
01:01:17were there
01:01:17do a
01:01:18meet and
01:01:18greet with
01:01:19them at
01:01:20the event.
01:01:20If you
01:01:20have a
01:01:21ticket.
01:01:22Yeah.
01:01:22Okay.
01:01:24Well,
01:01:25I think
01:01:26that whole
01:01:26thing is
01:01:27going to
01:01:27go away
01:01:27pretty
01:01:28quickly.
01:01:30By the
01:01:30way,
01:01:30we do
01:01:31have some
01:01:31comments.
01:01:32So on
01:01:32our
01:01:32Facebook
01:01:33feed on
01:01:33my page,
01:01:35oh boy,
01:01:36okay.
01:01:37And these
01:01:37don't show
01:01:37up in our
01:01:38regular chat
01:01:38room and I
01:01:39don't know
01:01:39why.
01:01:39So I
01:01:40don't,
01:01:40sometimes I
01:01:41don't see
01:01:41them until
01:01:41afterwards.
01:01:42So I
01:01:42apologize.
01:01:43Let's
01:01:46see.
01:01:47A couple
01:01:48of these
01:01:48are pretty
01:01:49specific to
01:01:50that moment
01:01:50in time
01:01:51during the
01:01:51program.
01:01:52But Crystal
01:01:53points out
01:01:54Hulk could
01:01:54have been
01:01:55booed for
01:01:55multiple
01:01:55reasons in
01:01:56LA.
01:01:57I agree.
01:02:00And Rocky
01:02:01Uber points
01:02:02out Hogan
01:02:02fell hard as
01:02:03soon as he
01:02:04used the
01:02:04hard R
01:02:05LOL.
01:02:06Yeah.
01:02:06I mean,
01:02:07that's,
01:02:07that's really
01:02:07what wrecked
01:02:08is a
01:02:08legacy.
01:02:09Yeah.
01:02:10Yeah.
01:02:11That's a
01:02:12I mean,
01:02:12a lot of
01:02:13the other
01:02:13stuff could
01:02:14be forgotten,
01:02:15but that,
01:02:16that one
01:02:16moment,
01:02:16I mean,
01:02:17this is no
01:02:17taking it
01:02:17back and he
01:02:18never was
01:02:18sufficiently
01:02:19contrite for
01:02:20it.
01:02:20And he
01:02:21never seemed
01:02:21to understand.
01:02:22That's the
01:02:22thing too.
01:02:23Like he
01:02:23couldn't,
01:02:24the thing
01:02:25about that
01:02:25is too,
01:02:26there's no
01:02:26excuse for
01:02:27not being
01:02:28able to
01:02:29navigate some
01:02:30sort of way
01:02:31afterward,
01:02:31like do,
01:02:32do the
01:02:32apology tour and
01:02:33everything,
01:02:33because there's,
01:02:34there's plenty
01:02:35of previous
01:02:35examples.
01:02:36I mean,
01:02:36we live in a
01:02:37world where
01:02:37the bounty
01:02:39hunter.
01:02:40Yeah.
01:02:40like Hogan
01:02:42follow that
01:02:45blueprint.
01:02:47Or Don
01:02:48Imus is
01:02:48another example.
01:02:50I,
01:02:50you know,
01:02:51he,
01:02:51let's not,
01:02:53let's not,
01:02:54cause I,
01:02:55I,
01:02:55I'm,
01:02:56I'm going to
01:02:56say it.
01:02:57Fuck it.
01:02:57I don't think
01:02:58what Don
01:02:58Imus said was
01:02:59that bad.
01:03:00I think,
01:03:01well,
01:03:01it's certainly
01:03:02nowhere near as
01:03:03bad as,
01:03:03I mean,
01:03:04a racial joke
01:03:05is not the
01:03:06same as
01:03:06genuine hate.
01:03:09I agree with
01:03:10you there.
01:03:10If you're going
01:03:12to look at
01:03:12things Don
01:03:13Imus said
01:03:14in the past,
01:03:16in comparison
01:03:17to that,
01:03:19I think he
01:03:20said it
01:03:21about a
01:03:23group,
01:03:23a feel-good
01:03:24story at
01:03:25the time,
01:03:26and that
01:03:27is why,
01:03:28because people
01:03:29forget,
01:03:29Sid Greenberg
01:03:30said something
01:03:31that I thought
01:03:33was more
01:03:34heinous.
01:03:34Yeah,
01:03:36I mean,
01:03:37so,
01:03:39I don't,
01:03:41yeah,
01:03:41it's,
01:03:42yeah,
01:03:42I mean,
01:03:42that's a
01:03:43more complicated
01:03:43example,
01:03:45but,
01:03:46especially where
01:03:46it was in
01:03:47Imus's contract
01:03:47with CBS
01:03:48Sports,
01:03:48and he was
01:03:48supposed to
01:03:49be edgy,
01:03:49but he
01:03:50just,
01:03:50he went
01:03:50too far
01:03:51with that.
01:03:51I,
01:03:51I mean,
01:03:52I thought
01:03:52Sid Greenberg's
01:03:54statement was
01:03:55worse.
01:03:57The more I
01:03:58see the
01:03:58Rutgers women's
01:03:59team,
01:03:59the more they
01:04:00look like the
01:04:00Toronto Raptors.
01:04:02Yeah,
01:04:03yeah.
01:04:03it's like
01:04:05we're going
01:04:06to focus
01:04:07on two
01:04:08words that
01:04:09are in
01:04:09rap lyrics.
01:04:11Yeah,
01:04:12but,
01:04:13but,
01:04:13no,
01:04:14I know,
01:04:14but,
01:04:14but the
01:04:15point is,
01:04:15though,
01:04:16the blueprint
01:04:16was there
01:04:17for Hogan
01:04:18to follow.
01:04:19Yeah,
01:04:20you do the
01:04:20apology tour
01:04:21and what's
01:04:22funny about
01:04:23that,
01:04:23too,
01:04:24him and
01:04:24Dog the
01:04:25bounty hunter
01:04:25had a
01:04:26friendship.
01:04:27Oh,
01:04:27I didn't
01:04:28know that.
01:04:28I didn't
01:04:28know they
01:04:28were friends.
01:04:31Well,
01:04:32I bet they
01:04:32had,
01:04:32I bet
01:04:34they had
01:04:34some
01:04:34interesting
01:04:34conversations
01:04:35because
01:04:36that don't
01:04:37don't
01:04:37don't
01:04:37don't go
01:04:38down that
01:04:38road.
01:04:39Coming back
01:04:39to me now,
01:04:40why was
01:04:40Dog upset?
01:04:42Same kind
01:04:42of thing,
01:04:42right?
01:04:43Interracial
01:04:44and interracial
01:04:45relationship.
01:04:46Oh,
01:04:46we are
01:04:46in his family.
01:04:48I'd completely
01:04:49forgot about this
01:04:50until you brought
01:04:50it up.
01:04:50But yeah,
01:04:51same thing,
01:04:52right?
01:04:53Birds of a
01:04:53feather,
01:04:53Hogan and
01:04:54Dog.
01:04:55He,
01:04:56I,
01:04:57look,
01:04:58Dog.
01:04:59Birds of a
01:04:59feather.
01:05:00He's dead,
01:05:00right?
01:05:01Did he die?
01:05:01The dog,
01:05:03the dog,
01:05:03the dog,
01:05:03the dog.
01:05:03His wife died.
01:05:04His wife died.
01:05:05Dog is still alive.
01:05:07Yeah,
01:05:07I don't know how,
01:05:08but Dog is still
01:05:09with us.
01:05:10Yeah.
01:05:10You know,
01:05:11I do believe Dog
01:05:13was truly contrite
01:05:14in his apology.
01:05:16Like,
01:05:17because if you
01:05:18listen to him,
01:05:19even now when he
01:05:20talks about it,
01:05:21he literally
01:05:22is saying,
01:05:23I had no
01:05:26understanding
01:05:26that it was
01:05:28wrong.
01:05:29And if you
01:05:30listen to the
01:05:31way he
01:05:31interacted with
01:05:32the people in
01:05:33Hawaii,
01:05:34especially Kona,
01:05:36which is a
01:05:37very crime-ridden
01:05:40area,
01:05:41you can see
01:05:42why he would
01:05:43legitimately
01:05:44think he
01:05:47had the
01:05:48hood
01:05:49pass.
01:05:50so I
01:05:53think the
01:05:53situation,
01:05:54now I don't
01:05:55condone what
01:05:56Dog did.
01:05:57No,
01:05:57no,
01:05:57no.
01:05:58But I'm
01:05:59saying the
01:06:00explanation is
01:06:02more feasible
01:06:03than Hogan's.
01:06:05I don't know
01:06:05if I even,
01:06:06I don't know
01:06:07if I believe
01:06:08that he was,
01:06:09I don't know
01:06:10what I think
01:06:11of Dog's
01:06:11apology and
01:06:12whether he
01:06:12was truly
01:06:12contrite or
01:06:13not,
01:06:14but,
01:06:15but at least
01:06:16he tried.
01:06:18Like,
01:06:18Hogan didn't
01:06:18even try.
01:06:20Hogan did
01:06:21it once
01:06:22after WWE
01:06:24fired him.
01:06:26Wiped him,
01:06:27people forget
01:06:27that,
01:06:28they wiped
01:06:28him out of
01:06:29the Hall
01:06:29of Fame.
01:06:30Yep.
01:06:31Who could
01:06:31not,
01:06:32you typed
01:06:32his name
01:06:33in on the
01:06:34WWE
01:06:34search bar
01:06:36and nothing
01:06:37came up.
01:06:38Oh yeah.
01:06:39They whitewashed
01:06:40him.
01:06:41Yep,
01:06:41yep,
01:06:42yeah,
01:06:42they buried
01:06:43him for a
01:06:43while.
01:06:45So,
01:06:46you,
01:06:48and then
01:06:49he,
01:06:50like,
01:06:50it took
01:06:50a couple,
01:06:51it took
01:06:51about six
01:06:53months and
01:06:54then he
01:06:54goes and
01:06:54he does
01:06:55this public
01:06:56apology,
01:06:57but then
01:06:58he has to
01:06:58go and
01:06:59apologize to
01:06:59his peers
01:07:00and
01:07:01nothing.
01:07:03Yeah.
01:07:04And Hogan,
01:07:06dumb fuck,
01:07:08listen,
01:07:09you don't know
01:07:11who's recording,
01:07:12brother.
01:07:12Yes,
01:07:13you do.
01:07:13You were on
01:07:13a jailhouse line,
01:07:15stupid.
01:07:16When he was
01:07:17talking to his
01:07:17son,
01:07:17Nick,
01:07:17you're on
01:07:19a jail
01:07:20line,
01:07:20it's
01:07:21recorded.
01:07:23Yeah.
01:07:24Dumbass.
01:07:25For those,
01:07:26so for those,
01:07:27we should also
01:07:27clarify that
01:07:28for people
01:07:28who don't
01:07:28know,
01:07:29when Nick
01:07:29Hogan
01:07:30was in a
01:07:32car accident
01:07:32driving very
01:07:33recklessly.
01:07:34I'm going to
01:07:34touch on that
01:07:35after you're
01:07:35done,
01:07:36Matt,
01:07:36because there's
01:07:36something that
01:07:37adds to the
01:07:38character flaw
01:07:40of Terry
01:07:40Balea.
01:07:41Yeah.
01:07:42Big with that.
01:07:43Well,
01:07:43yeah.
01:07:43And Nick's
01:07:44friend,
01:07:45Josh Graziano,
01:07:46I think
01:07:46was his
01:07:47name.
01:07:48John.
01:07:48John Graziano
01:07:49was in the
01:07:51passenger seat
01:07:51and ended
01:07:53up on
01:07:53just a
01:07:54terrible,
01:07:55I think
01:07:55Nick was
01:07:56fine,
01:07:57but John
01:07:58Graziano
01:07:59ended up,
01:08:00I believe,
01:08:00is he still
01:08:01alive today?
01:08:02Yes,
01:08:03paraplegic.
01:08:04He's a
01:08:04paraplegic.
01:08:05He was in a
01:08:06vegetative state
01:08:06at one point,
01:08:07wasn't he?
01:08:08No,
01:08:08I think he's
01:08:08actually a
01:08:09quadriplegic.
01:08:10He's a
01:08:10quadriplegic,
01:08:11okay.
01:08:12Yeah,
01:08:12he has no
01:08:13movement from
01:08:14neck down.
01:08:15Yeah,
01:08:15yeah,
01:08:16and Nick
01:08:17went to
01:08:17prison for
01:08:19that because
01:08:20he caused
01:08:21it.
01:08:21Yep,
01:08:22yep.
01:08:23People don't
01:08:24know how
01:08:24hard it is
01:08:25in prison.
01:08:26I saw so
01:08:27many horrible
01:08:28things.
01:08:29Yeah,
01:08:29how about
01:08:30your friend
01:08:31who can't
01:08:31talk?
01:08:32Yeah,
01:08:33exactly.
01:08:34Yeah,
01:08:34and this,
01:08:36you know,
01:08:36Hogan victim
01:08:37shamed the
01:08:38guy.
01:08:39I know.
01:08:40Like,
01:08:41he's like,
01:08:42this was
01:08:42pretty low.
01:08:43It's his
01:08:44fault because
01:08:44he wasn't
01:08:45wearing a
01:08:45seatbelt.
01:08:47Yeah,
01:08:47didn't he also
01:08:49say to Nick
01:08:49on one of
01:08:51those calls
01:08:51that it
01:08:52was karma,
01:08:54that John
01:08:54had probably
01:08:55done something
01:08:56really terrible,
01:08:57if not in
01:08:57this life,
01:08:57maybe in a
01:08:58past life,
01:08:59and this
01:08:59was karma
01:08:59catching up
01:09:00to him?
01:09:01Yeah,
01:09:01and on that
01:09:02same call,
01:09:03he said,
01:09:04my fear is
01:09:05that when I
01:09:05die,
01:09:06I'll be
01:09:06resurrected
01:09:06as a
01:09:07black person.
01:09:08I didn't
01:09:09know he
01:09:09said that
01:09:10on that
01:09:11call.
01:09:11Wow.
01:09:11Let me get
01:09:12that direct
01:09:12quote.
01:09:13Oh my
01:09:14God.
01:09:15Yeah.
01:09:16Yeah.
01:09:17So for
01:09:18anyone who
01:09:19at this
01:09:19point is
01:09:19puzzled as
01:09:20to why
01:09:21Solo
01:09:21Sokoa
01:09:21looked like
01:09:22he didn't
01:09:22want to
01:09:22be there
01:09:23for the
01:09:2410-bell
01:09:25salute,

01:09:33had said
01:09:34that.
01:09:35Yeah.

01:09:43Yes.
01:09:46Also
01:09:46dreading
01:09:47the idea
01:09:48that his
01:09:48son's
01:09:49arrest
01:09:49could mean
01:09:49that the

01:13:05look
01:13:07for me
01:13:08it's
01:13:09my personal
01:13:11opinion
01:13:12the
01:13:13bad
01:13:15far
01:13:16far
01:13:17outweighed
01:13:18the good
01:13:18that I felt
01:13:19towards him
01:13:20and any
01:13:21good memories
01:13:22I had of him
01:13:23as a professional
01:13:23wrestler
01:13:24um
01:13:26I think
01:13:27you are
01:13:28a low
01:13:29low
01:13:30low
01:13:32human being

01:14:19crux
01:14:20of Hulk Hogan

01:14:29any good
01:14:30Hulk Hogan
01:14:31ever did
01:14:32that's why
01:14:34I felt

01:14:44different

01:14:45a little
01:14:46bit numb
01:14:46because
01:14:47you know
01:14:50obviously
01:14:50I mean
01:14:51I agree
01:14:52with every
01:14:52single negative
01:14:54thing that you've
01:14:55said about
01:14:55him about
01:14:56Terry Bollea
01:14:57I absolutely
01:14:58agree with
01:14:58but it was
01:15:00a little
01:15:01different for
01:15:01me just
01:15:02you know
01:15:02thinking about
01:15:03like it was
01:15:03like I said
01:15:04on that
01:15:04Facebook post
01:15:05the other
01:15:05day I said
01:15:06you know
01:15:06Hogan loomed
01:15:07as a character
01:15:08the character
01:15:09of Hulk Hogan
01:15:09loomed so
01:15:10large in my
01:15:11childhood
01:15:11you know
01:15:13and then of
01:15:13course that
01:15:14that big
01:15:14second wind
01:15:15he had
01:15:15that was
01:15:16so important
01:15:16in wrestling
01:15:17during the
01:15:18NWO period
01:15:19and everything
01:15:19which is my
01:15:20favorite
01:15:20that was my
01:15:21favorite version
01:15:22of Hulk Hogan
01:15:22Hollywood Hogan
01:15:23and and it's
01:15:25it's hard for
01:15:25me to
01:15:26it's almost
01:15:28hard
01:15:29well it's
01:15:30it's hard for
01:15:31me not to
01:15:31compartmentalize
01:15:32that a little
01:15:32bit and
01:15:33and so I
01:15:34but the other
01:15:35thing is too
01:15:36and you've
01:15:37heard me say
01:15:38this
01:15:38kind of
01:15:39joking
01:15:40I'm going to
01:15:42say something
01:15:42familiar that
01:15:43you've heard
01:15:43me say
01:15:43before but
01:15:44I'm not
01:15:44I'm not
01:15:45actually joking
01:15:46when I say
01:15:46it I
01:15:47usually say
01:15:47it when we
01:15:48talk about
01:15:48a certain
01:15:48individual we
01:15:49make fun
01:15:49of but
01:15:50but once
01:15:51someone passes
01:15:52away that
01:15:54that's it
01:15:55there's no
01:15:55there's no
01:15:56more chance
01:15:56for redemption
01:15:57and I wish
01:15:59that Hulk Hogan
01:15:59at some
01:16:00point could
01:16:01have finally

01:20:50I
01:20:51I
01:20:51agree
01:20:51it's not
01:20:51it's not
01:20:52the same
01:20:52thing
01:20:52but I
01:20:53I just
01:20:53think it's
01:20:53worth
01:20:54mentioning
01:20:54though
01:20:55I just
01:20:55wanted to
01:20:55because that
01:20:56is something
01:20:56that is
01:20:56something that
01:20:57I do
01:20:57think
01:20:58is
01:20:59honorable
01:20:59very charitable
01:21:00which also
01:21:02he did a lot
01:21:02for charity
01:21:03to circle
01:21:04back to
01:21:06Rocky's
01:21:06point
01:21:07that
01:21:07hard
01:21:08R
01:21:08killed
01:21:08him
01:21:08because
01:21:09he was
01:21:10so
01:21:10charitable
01:21:11he did
01:21:12do so
01:21:12much
01:21:13and
01:21:13there
01:21:14I do
01:21:15believe
01:21:15at
01:21:16some
01:21:16point
01:21:17that
01:21:17he
01:21:18genuinely
01:21:19took
01:21:19the
01:21:20good
01:21:20that
01:21:20Hulk Hogan
01:21:21represented
01:21:22and ingrained
01:21:24it into
01:21:24Terry
01:21:25Bollea
01:21:25I just
01:21:26think
01:21:27the evil
01:21:28of Terry
01:21:28Bollea
01:21:29superseded
01:21:30it
01:21:31I think
01:21:32it's
01:21:32because
01:21:32it was
01:21:32so hidden
01:21:33for so
01:21:33long
01:21:34and he's
01:21:34like
01:21:34got one
01:21:36over on
01:21:37a brother
01:21:37and so
01:21:39then he
01:21:39just
01:21:39figured
01:21:40he could
01:21:40let it
01:21:41out
01:21:41because
01:21:41he's
01:21:42so
01:21:42beloved
01:21:43that
01:21:45he could
01:21:46get away
01:21:47with it
01:21:47so yeah
01:21:49it is
01:21:49sad
01:21:49that
01:21:50we
01:21:51that
01:21:51when we're
01:21:52remembering
01:21:53him
01:21:53a majority
01:21:54of it
01:21:54is
01:21:55negative
01:21:55because
01:21:56there was
01:21:56a lot
01:21:57of good
01:21:58that he
01:21:59did
01:22:00but

01:25:45if if
01:25:46Hulk Hogan
01:25:46as a
