>>17988136I really think his lies are at the bottom of the list for why he's so hated now
If I had to put in order the reasons why so many turned on Hogan in recent years, number one being the biggest reason, the list would be:
1. being open with his MAGA/Republican beliefs, in an era where being MAGA = le evil Nazi. This to me was Hogan's biggest mistake, he should have kept his political beliefs private if he wanted any reasonable chance of rebuilding his image after his leaked tape scandal
2. leaked audio of him saying the word in private, which is an unforgivable crime in this era
3. just general asshole shit that he said and did over the years, e.g. saying "God laid down some heavy shit on him" about the guy who got killed from his son's shitty driving, and saying be careful not to get caught while apologizing to wrestlers about the leaked audio
4. years of big-leaguing other wrestlers and holding them down, also being openly disliked as a shoot by many of the biggest names in wrestling
5. being a bullshitter/lying-ass motherfucker. If all of the other above reasons weren't true and Hogan's only issue was his lies, I think most people would excuse it since he's still a wrestling GOAT. Unfortunately he has many more strikes against him besides that
