As a nerdy kid with longish hair and few male role models, I really, really looked up to this guy. Hercules, Xena, Kull, and then Andromeda.

He fell off my radar for a while but I was pleasantly entertained when I found him in the Mythica series. I’d always thought well of him.

Eventually I heard about God Is Not Dead and looked into the rest of his more right wing work… Its really heartbreaking when people you respected or even idolized as a kid turn out to be so… gross and just… weird.

Now he again pops up on my radar with stupid shit like this. So sad.

When I was a kid I had a pillow version of Hulk Hogan. Now he’s taking pictures and shaking hands with literal nazis.

“Never meet your heroes” applies to just getting to know who they are from a distance too unfortunately.

Oh man. While I was never a huge fan, I had the Tonka Hulk Hogan and Ultimate Warrior Plus/Pillow things. Is that what you mean?

Yeah, Hogan is another guy who is just nuts. I think he’s always been a piece of shit. I heard he notified management of Ventura’s talk of a wrestler’s union which killed it before it could gain any traction.

May you not live long enough to see and watch your heroes become villains.

It really is. Guy had the opportunity to be great, but got sick. Like losing an aging parent to Fox.

Sucks about Sorbo, but thankfully Lucy Lawless (Xena) is still cool af. If you haven’t seen her in Ash vs Evil Dead, check it out! Good stuff.
