    Hogan is famously a liar of epic proportions and shut down a potential wrestlers union in the 80s. I know many of us were hulkamaniacs at some point but he’s a piece of shit.

    I haven’t kept up with ole Stone Cold but last I checked he was threatening people online for being racist and homophobic. So if you want a decent person that was once at the top of the business he’s a better choice

    Edit: I should add that I know Austin beat his wife when he was king of WWE but seems to have changed his ways and bettered himself. Doesn’t excuse that he did it but like I said he’s about the best in the wrestling business

        John Cena too I think. At the very least he had the record for most wishes granted for the Make a Wish Foundation.

        General politics wise he’s publicly been pro women’s rights and supports LGBQT+ rights

        He’s on the right side politically, definitely. Big believer in human rights, and has spoken up publicly in favor of abortion and trans rights.

        I hear that he’s a nightmare in his personal life due to being a big huge ball of trust issues, but he definitely ain’t no fascist.

      He didn’t lie when he said he was a racist though. Of course, he didn’t know there was a camera on him at the time.
