I saw an article on TMZ.com that mentioned something about Ultimate Warrior and Hulk Hogan feuding and initially skimmed over it. Figuring it was nothing new and just some blurb never to be heard of again. Boy was I wrong...
My nerdy nature prompted me to do a little bit more research on the matter and I was in shock and awe about what I was seeing and reading. The first video I personally watched was the short blurb he did about Hogan censoring fans on Twitter. Not really sure what to think, I looked at a few more. Initially, I will admit that I thought he was bat shit crazy. The other videos seriously blew me away, I especially enjoyed the preview of his upcoming uncensored video all about Hogan. That particular video can be found by clicking here. He really speaks with conviction, you can't deny that at all. The video and the topics that he brings up just beg the question, how much of it is based in fact? I'm hoping for all of it and that sounds terrible.
I watched the video that Hulk Hogan did saying how much he missed Randy Savage. I also watched the interview that he did with 'The Voice' and I was simply appalled. Excuse my language, but what a smug son of a bitch.
The interview is available on YouTube, in four parts (click here to start with part one). I felt like Hogan didn't care who he threw under the proverbial bus. They talked about a variety of topics and a variety of different wrestlers. I got the impression that Hogan thought that during the 'Rock n' Wrestling' era (and his entire WWE run), he was the be all and end all. He wasn't, the success of the business and product cannot be attributed to one person in any given era. The things that have come out about his family and himself in the last few years really make you feel sorry that he has sort of 'fallen from the top', for lack of a better term. His son Nick's accident and the oddly entertaining divorce between Hulk and Linda are the first things that jump to mind. I am frankly disgusted that he would walk around like he's still one of the biggest stars in the business, an example would be him openly admitting that he uses his 'celebrity' to his advantage. Why would you even admit that? It just makes you look and sound kind of terrible, everyone knows that it sometimes does happen but to hear someone admit it is a totally different story.
What I believe exacerbated the entire situation even more that those YouTube videos is the mocking of Randy Savage's tragic passing by Brian Knobbs. I read the report about the entire situation and I was completely disgusted with what I read. He should feel sorry and ashamed, as should the people who just sat by and said nothing while he mocked the death of a fellow wrestler. Some say that maybe that was his way a grieving, I beg to differ. Nasty Boy Brian Knobbs should be the last person 'joking' about having a heart attack. What happened to Randy was a terrible and unfortunate accident that shook the wrestling world (and the entertainment industry in general). But of course, there will be no repercussions or public apology given because he's a friend of Hogan's. If he was really and truly missing Randy then he would have issued an apology almost immediately after it blew up on the internet.
I am just waiting for the Ultimate Warrior to release his uncensored rant on Hogan. I would also like to see Hogan release a response video to the Warrior's accusations, because at this point that's all that they are. A part of me is hoping that these two guys can work this out privately but the other part of me is hoping that everything gets laid out on the table. Either way, I think that accusations will be thrown, claims will be proven or not, and there will be two guys who definitely won't be sharing anything together in the near future.
