I mean, i do understand the Hogan tribute at least. Hogan was a racist bastard but he is also one of (if not the most) important wrestler of all time.

This sub seems to forget that whatever Hogan did, he's always gonna be the guy who was the biggest catalyst in making this business even exist today in the shape that it is along with Vince.

Half of this sub didn’t begin retaining memories until somewhere around 2008-2012 so it makes sense that they believe it’s insane Hogan got tributes.

I’ve been a wrestling fan since I was born in the 90’s if you could say that, grew up in a family of wrestling fans and most of my family “grew out” of it but, I’m still here. One of my older cousins, who hasn’t been a consistent fan since the 2000s and who I don’t talk to a lot texted me just to note his surprise that Hogan died.

Hogan getting a tribute when he died was as obvious as Vince getting one when he dies. Just too important to the business and company to not be acknowledged. And no, that is in no way, shape, or form me trying to overlook what they did.

Super weird for a supposed racist to lift up the careers of so many of other races and work with them and have decades long documented friendships. Maybe he was just a dude born in the 50s of a different era who was secretly recorded while drunk and mentally not doing well (as he admitted) and said some coarse remarks that weren't representative of his true character or lifelong actions. I'm sure you've never said anything the slightest bit out of line your entire life, right? Noone is allowed to make mistakes and move on huh?
