38. I haven't heard the racist part, but I met him

Jul 25

Down in South Carolina having drinks. This was 15 years ago. He was supporting or doing some type of charity work for American Indian youth and he had an official with that organization with him who was Indian. He spoke about it for the time he was there and I came away a fan. He hung out and drank beers and was not a loud boisterous wrestler, but just good guy. I probably won’t go search for the alternative about him because he was truly a highlight of celebrities I’ve met. Very well spoken and was truly passionate about the Indian kids he was raising money for. I never saw the other part said by his daughter.

I use to see Ric Flair a lot also. I’ve heard he was a generous man but I saw only the hard drinking part.

No difference if the body is cold or not an asshole is an asshole. No use covering it up. Bev54 Jul 25 #12

Why? A bellend is a bellend, whether dead or alive. Fuck Hulk Hogan. Celerity Jul 25 #13

"Speaking ill of the dead" is just a way to cover up abusers like Hogan obamanut2012 Jul 25 #10

Does anybody here know that the Hulkster helped raise millions to charitable organizations? Gimpyknee Jul 25 #30

Or that Hitler liked H2O Man Jul 25 #32

Hitler and Charles Manson? That's quite a leap. Gimpyknee Jul 25 #35

Did you know he was a racist, misogynist, homophobe, and a dirty scab? obamanut2012 Jul 25 #36

I did. I wrote below. I met him out when he was fund raising for American Indian children. Melon Jul 25 #39
