      IIRC he got canceled way back during or shortly after his reality show when he went on a racist rant over a recorded phone-call to his son who was sitting in jail, the context of which sounded very similar to a lot of Trump conservative meltdowns.

        Almost. Hogan was a bull (I think), and was giving the old third leg drop on this dudes wife. The dude was secretly recording, and Hogan started ranting about how he didn’t want his daughter to date black guys. He used much worse language.

        The call you are referencing was after his son crippled a man when he wrecked while allegedly racing, and all they were worried about was making the passenger look bad and a reality TV show when Nick got released.

        I’ll be damned. Looks like Hulk and Nick did discuss racially insensitive things, to put it nicely.

      Peter Thiel funded Terry Bollea’s lawsuit against Gawker. It’s saddening (but not surprising) that he’s a real shitbird too.
