Good Ol' Hulk Hogan - More Right Wing Trash

One of the most-watched shows on Netflix currently is Hulk Hogan: Real American, a four-part documentary series that sets out with the premise it's going to unpack the complicated, messy nature of Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan), using it as a lens by which we can see all heroes as the flawed individuals they really are. Sadly, it once again fails in its primary task, following in the footsteps of 2024's Mr. McMahon to turn out another WWE-sanctioned, selective version of history, which gently dips its toe into the promise of being genuine, before recoiling once more to present a sanitized version of history.

You didn't think Netflix was going to tarnish their deal with McMahon by telling the truth about that scumbag, did you?

... to present a sanitized version of history. ...

Isn't ~presenting a sanitized version of history~ a goal of Republicans?

As a whole, Americans have a disturbing tendency to elevate and celebrate and humanize people whose job or goal it is to dehumanize, subdue, conquer or kill.

Are you an American?

Yes. I still reside in North Dakota but spend more of my time up the Red River in Winnipeg. I'm a part-time Pegger and thus an honorary Canadian. Gives good perspective with just a nondescript, 4 hour drive.

#2 When they say slavery taught the slaves "valuable work skills" it sure is.
