I understand the position he put WWE in with those statements, I really do. They're going to do anything they can to say "hey, we don't endorse this". At the same time, I would buy a Chris Benoit if they made it and I would certainly buy more Hogans. I try to see the art, not the artist because you may find you despise stances they hold. Sad feeling brother. Fully agree here. Many musicians and actors are not good role models either, but it doesn't mean what they created can't be appreciated. Wrestling has always tried to blur the lines between reality and the art and it hurts especially in cases like this. Yeah, we are in a unique space with Wrestling as it is performance art. One thing that usually occurs when we watch it is that we enter this unwritten agreement to suspend our disbelief and for two or three hours pretend that these are real people really wrestling each other without predetermined results. Its how we allow ourselves to enjoy the moment. And how we come on forums and talk about it as if it were real  . So when a guy who was the all-time great babyface and hero to so many as a kid comes out as a full fledged asshat in real life, it's tough to separate those feelings. |

Sad feeling brother. That's exactly how I explained at work today when I wore my Hogan shirt. I just simply said I like the character and don't know/don't care for the "real person". This is also why I don't like to go out of my way to meet wrestlers or famous people in general. |

The fad lost it's charm for me like two episodes in on The Walking Dead. Other than the Evil Dead series, I just can't get into zombies; they're gross and it just ain't my thing. Sorry if you were looking forward to it. I do have a whorish mouth, but what can I say, my fiancee loves it! |
