One could argue Shawn was unprofessional at least some of this feud but Hogan was unprofessional through most of his career so f*** it

Shouldn't Hogan have waited till after the match before saying it was a one off?

Shouldn't Hogan have waited till after the match before saying it was a one off? Hogan claims that he parties with people years after they died and that he was able to have a 400-day year by travelling back and forth to Japan. He celebrates coitus with N-word laden pillow talk, he's not exactly known for putting a lot of thought into what he says.

I mean, yeah, you could say Shawn was being a dick and had a history of it, but Hogan also is a dick, if not even bigger, so it was a dick war, and at least Shawn made the whole thing amusing with the overselling.
........Out of context, this sentence sounds very sexual.

Shawn throwing a hissy fit because someone pulled out of a match they said they'd do is rich in irony. "Wah! I got out-politicked by a better politican than me! Wah!"

Cant blame Shawn for clowning Hogan like he did once I heard about that I'm pro-dick.

I can't belive people defend HBK for that bullshit. HBK didn't deserve to be in the ring with Hogan. f*** HBK.

Originally, it was meant to be a gentleman's affair; "may the best man win" kind of thing. But fans likely would have cheered for HBK more given A) he was a full-time member of the roster and B) despite Shawn's history of being a bitch ass diva, the hardcore fans would be more likely to reject Hogan because... he's Hogan. So, it ended up being a face Hogan vs. a heel Shawn Michaels. Are you f***ing crazy? No way would HBK get cheered over Hogan.

Michaels didn't even want to do it it was a Hogan mandate which is why they reversed it literally the day after the match lol

Who's the biggest star, at the time and overall? Hogan. Who's currentlty the laughing stock, deservedly so, IMO? Hogan I mean, the childhood shine had come of quite a bit at the time, but Hogan was still the much bigger star than HBK, probably still is.

His apology wasn't enough, because he refused to lose to Bret in 93. But Shawn is a f***ing whiny dick. f*** him.

And either way, Hogan is getting cheered over him.
Look at HBK's past. He almost always got booed against other top stats. Sid, Bret, Bulldog, Austin. People didn't like him as much as Vince shoved him down throats.

Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation,” Hogan says in a statement. “It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.”
He goes on to say that “I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.

Whenever I explain this to non-fans, I always preface it by saying, "Everyone involved is an asshole and rich, so we can enjoy the dick moves without feeling sorry for anyone."
I say the same thing about Steve Austin holding down Jeff Jarrett. Steve was an asshole to do it, Jarrett was an asshole to him previously when they worked in Memphis, they're both well-off now so let's just get a laugh that Austin got revenge.

And he apologized. He also has no history of racist actions or statements. Black wrestlers are friends of him. He's feuded with many POC. He's done Make A Wish and other charity acts that benefit POC. Like... I just don't understand the "He's a racist piece of shit" people. Like... look at the man's actions. His life. His history. He's not racist.
