If anyone wants to hate this guy even more: listen to the Behind the Bastards episodes on this guy. It's a 6-parter, so you know it's going to be good.
I'll second that recommendation. That was one of the most interesting series BtB has ever done. I haven't even been a wrestling fan since I was a kid but it was a fascinating look into the industry and what an absolute monster Vince McMahon has always been.
Side note related to those Podcast episodes: FUCK Hulk Hogan for selling out Jesse Ventura and his peers who were trying to unionize. That piece of shit move caused an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering that could've been avoided had wrestlers been able to form a union and get fair pay and proper healthcare 35 years ago.
I’m not even a wrestling fan but I did listen to all 6 parts of that and found it fascinating.
Has anyone else gotten 6 parts other than kissenger? Even Clarence Thomas was only 4
As far as I know those are the only 2.
The one on George Lincoln Rockwell was pretty long, may have only been 4 too though
Seems there needs to be a seventh episode. And I second u/ZeroCool's sentiment: fuck Hulk Hogan.
Looks like Macho Man Randy Savage was onto something with his Hogan diss track

FYI he has entire rap album, or rock rap? It's been a while since I thought about it.
That's only the second most hilarious thing I'd completely forgot Randy Savage had done.
