Questionable imagery, but the shirt is from a motorcycle shop called Dago Choppers. I do know he’s worn blue lives matter shirts and don’t tread on me hats in his documentary so his political leanings are quite apparent but not sure I’d condemn him for those things or call him a white supremacist. whatever it wants to be, it's an SS logo, that's why every single time it shows up people say oh look an SS logo and not oh actually look it's a motorcycle shop. It's always going to be an SS logo. The guys got pudding for brains but he isn't that stupid. Just as shrewd as most other morons and racists. Think you’re giving him too much credit.

These backstage bullies are wrestlers that really need their brains studied by Christopher Nowinski's medical place and not for CTE reasons. There needs to be a study on what makes guys like this act like they do.

But it's always wonderful for people who have been victims of bullying to tell their stories and have people believe them. If it ruins Taker, HHH, JBL, Hardcore Holly et al's reputations in wrestling forever, so be it.

It's always going to be an SS logo. The guys got pudding for brains but he isn't that stupid. Just as shrewd as most other morons and racists. It's also a weak excuse when like. Why are you wearing a store's merch? Why does the store whose merch you're wearing got to be the one with an SS logo on it? It's a weak cop-out. There's symbols nazis have rubbed themselves all over that can be taken back, or symbols they've stolen from elsewhere that can be fought against. That's not one of them. At the absolute best you're some shithead tough guy shock value dipshit who thinks wearing the symbol is edgy, but if you go digging aorund for Dago Choppers you literally only find people selling shirts, and if you broaden your search with things like 'history' and 'store' you only find apocryphal accounts of it burning down in the late '90s, with no cultural footprint or legacy to be seen anywhere. All they seemed to have were these very cool and very reasonable shirts that were definitely only the logo of their motorcycle store that had no words starting with 'S' in their name. Completely sensible thing to put on your body that doesn't mean anything more than liking bikes.

What's the over/under on somebody (probably Seth Rollins) pulling a Tommy Dreamer when the stuff about Taker in the Kanyon DSotR episode comes out?

I remember hearing Taker would take offense if you were a newcomer and didn't actively seek him out and shake his hand.

I wonder if someone ever had the guts to spend 45 minutes in the bathroom stall taking a dump or “relieve the fantasies in their brains” and not bother to wash their hands before shaking hands with Undertaker! What he doesn’t know can’t hurt him, right?

As my first favorite wrestler as a kid it really sucks what an unbelievable piece of trash Undertaker is. Yep. Once I learned who Taker donated and voted for I was like "yeah homie, Imma be ok if you never appeared on my tv again." Out of curiosity, do you feel this way about Jericho as well, he's in that same boat... Actually I could say he took it further since his wife was at a certain thing in January.

I don’t think it should be a shock that most wrestlers are in that boat.

I don't ever wanna see Jericho on my TV again. I hated when he beat MJF.

Not answering for him but I am completely off Jericho no matter who he or his wife voted for. His behavior during the pandemic and his wannabe Joe Rogan act has killed any fandom from me. I guess that stuff is part of who he voted for though.

The guy managed to hide all that stuff for 30 years through tv and books and then bam.

I just wait until he's off the TV.

I absolutely feel that way about Jericho. He's my favorite wrestler of all time, and at the end of the day, I do think that there's enough good on his legacy with regard to charitable donations, assisting the families of other wrestlers, etc...that it outweighs the bad. But, his recent antics have really sullied his reputation with me and made it increasingly difficult to separate the actual guy from the wrestler he plays on television. I wouldn't mind seeing him ride off into the sunset before the damage he's done to his legacy becomes irreparable.

By the way, a friend of mine (who isn't a fan) heard about this and misread the headline as saying Taker was ordering wrestlers to piss and shit on his belongings I mean, we then could just blow it off as a really strange kink of his. This was during the time when Mark wanted to progress the Undertaker character away from its restrictive paranormal trappings and develop a personality and look more aligned with his own that would also allow him to work a more fluid ring style and showcase his range on the mic. His initial pitch for 'American Scat Fetishist' was shot down, and after stiff negotiations everyone compromised on the 'American Bad Ass'.

They threw the French flag in a toilet and pissed and shit on it?!
Can you imagine being a stranger in a strange land, and they throw your home country's flag in the toilet?

Him saying, "Shit got handled then" in the Rogan interview now makes a lot more sense. UNDERTAKER: ...and by "shit got handled," I mean I literally would pick up feces with my hands and throw it at people. ROGAN: Awesome stuff! Can you please give me a demonstration? Paul Bearer said Undertaker's nickname for him was Pooh Bear but I imagine he called him Poop Bear on occasion as well.
