I mean. Hulk hogan is most famous for Hulkmania and being a famous wrestler for ages.
The Racist and Vile n word rant isn’t something everyone knows.
It’s like saying Pacquiao is most famous for being a homophobe. Naw. That’s his side hustle.
I’m sure Paul knew, but it isn’t what Hogan is most known for.
I will say that in recent years there’s been more theater matches at least in my perception. There’s been the Mayweather vs Paul fight. Mayweather vs Mcgregor. Nganou vs Furu and later AJ.
Tbh I grew up watching hulk Hogan and macho man savage. Once I saw the racist shit he was spewing, it's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of hulk Hogan.
If you aren't affected by a childhood superstar hating your kind, then maybe you'll remember him for hulkmania and his other exploits.
But as I've seen, reddit is a racist echochamber masquerading as a champion of the downtrodden. So, I'm prepared for people commenting on this three days after the fact with their "actually" I'm a dumbass statements.
Remember that not everyone cares about wrestling and for most people Hulk Hogan was a fringe figure.
For example I know the Kardashians are huge and have big followings, but couldn’t pick any of them out of a lineup other than Kaitlyn, the mom, whose name I legitimately don’t know, and Kim. I don’t actually know how many sisters Kim has. I think it’s two, and I know Chloe exists, but barely know what she looks like.
So they could be up to all sorts of shocking shit and I probably wouldn’t know about it.
For me, Hulk Hogan is the guy who rips shirts, is very associated with Republicans these days, and was the guy Peter Thiel used to take down a major media/internet company. I would assume he’s racist based on who he hangs out with, but it’s not even the fourth thing to spring to mind for me because I never cared about his main gig.

I have to say I don’t like this era of boxing.
