Basically you can pick pretty much any scripted or troped 'wrestling betrayal' and it will turn out that Hogan has almost certainly done it, in real life, to another wrestler at some point.
And that's all BEFORE you get into the racism and Thiel Gawker ratfuckery.
Hogan was/is someone who most major wrestlers have at least one story in which he brutally screwed them over to help himself.
Undertaker loathes him - Hulk faked a real-life injury which he blamed on Undertaker in order to try and prevent Undertaker's rising popularity and get the title belt back.
It gets worse btw. Jesse Ventura (who'd organised the union effort) had no idea who ratted them out. Even asked one of his good friends in the locker room who was equally baffled.
That friend was Hulk Hogan himself.
Ventura only found out later when Vince named Hulk in a court case under oath.
General reminder that when the wrestlers in the WWF/E tried to unionize, they made the mistake of including Hogan in the discussion.
He ran straight to Vince McMahon's office and ratted them out.

Well, I guess that’s why I couldn’t book a GP appointment this morning, and when I called up the phone system said “There are more than 30 people in the queue in front of you.”
(I'm used to receiving stickers from miniatures/gaming companies with my order, but I don't actually have anything I want to put stickers on. Still, given the number of hobby companies that turn out to be run by really shitty people it's nice knowing people like Ian at @fenrisgames.com aren't that.)
It's the DriveThruRPG Christmas in July sale, and as is now traditional, they've completely cocked up the pricing on Matrons of Mystery, my British TV cosy mystery game. If you want to pick it up for rather more of a discount than intended, grab it now!

My brother and I are discussing how to design a game based on corruption in the naval acquisitions process in the early 20th century and the name we’ve settled on is the Graft Spree

no YOUR a moron doing a spreadsheet of hammer and other films date of setting and location for your own roleplaying setting purposes ( no i am but the chronology of hammer draculas might need 3 draculas to set work …..)
the 80s had a high density of celebrities whose authenticity was hard to figure out, as a kid. like, was Mr. T a real guy? he was like that in shows/movies but also in interviews? or pee wee, elvira, max headroom, various wrestlers. even alf was on celebrity squares. it was a confusing time.
