Though the last part of Hogan's was deplorable, if you know where to look, he didn't scratch the surface of what a few examples did.

Chris Benoit- killed wife, son, then himself.

Killer Karl Kox- He was a loyal klansman in real life to the end.

Dick Murdock- He was also a klansman. He conned Tony Atlas to a party only for I r him to find out it was a KKK party.

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

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

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

How would you be judged if you took a lifetime and recorded it? Then took your worst day and judged you by it. Melon Jul 25 #41

That falls on deaf ears here. Gimpyknee Jul 25 #42
