FREAKOUT! Raptors Official posts about Hulk Hogan’s passing & finds out the truth about Terry Bollea
Good morning, Raptor Freaks. Lex here. Friday freakout. And I’m freaking out because Hulk Hogan died yesterday. And in some ways, I don’t care. If you’d asked me like at 8 years old, maybe even at 25 years old, how I felt about Hulk Hogan, I’d be devastated right now. But I’m not. When I saw that he had passed yesterday, I had no reaction. I was just like, “Okay, that’s what happens, you know, when you’re See, this is the thing. We’ve got to separate this man.” Now, yesterday, Raptors official at Mint posted tributes to Hulk Hogan on the Raptors social media accounts. On Facebook, it’s still up, but on other places, they took it down. And part of the reason why is because Raptors fans are smart. They know the whole story about Hulk Hogan. It’s there’s Terry Balia. That’s the thing. There’s two different things about that person. They’re totally different things. One of them is a character. One of them’s licensed to Marvel because they use the word Hulk and the Incredible Hulk and Stan Lee. They, you know, if he was going to use that name, they wanted their cut. So Vince was paying Marvel to use the Hulk name because the Incredible Hulk, the cartoon. And well, there’s also the person that was born in Georgia, some redneck parents named Terry Bolia. And trust me, I’m an expert on this subject. I know a lot about Hulk Hogan. I know more than the average person knows about Hulk Hogan because I’m a huge wrestling fan. And in some ways, I’ve studied the history of wrestling in a very deep way. Very, very deep way. My interactions wi with Hulk Hogan throughout my life and seeing him in different places are very interesting because I saw Hulk Hogan in 1988 at the Tallahassee Leyon County Civic Centers for my birthday. Yeah. I was 13 years old and my parents got myself uh tickets with three of my best friends to sit in the front row at a WWF match in 1988. Hulk Hogan versus the Milliondoll Man. That was big deal back then because Hulkamomania was running wild and it captivated and made professional wrestling mainstream. This is all true. As much as Air Canada Carter made an effect on basketball in the world of Canada and basketball, so did Hulk Hogan to the world in wrestling. He was iconic. He changed things. He blew it wide open. He made it a huge business that made a lot of money. He is the person. There’s no denying this that he made this sport uh this sports entertainment uh very very popular and very very uh uh profit profit profitable. Let’s just put it that way. Now Hogan, this is the thing. Hog Hulk Hogan is a is a character. Hulk Hogan is a person we saw on TV. Hulk Hogan is somebody we should mourn. Hulk Hogan is somebody we should mourn because the idea of what Hulk Hogan is is is is important in some ways. Fight for the rights of every man. Well, is that what uh USA is doing right now? No. So, they need real Hulk Hogan. Not mega Hulk. Not not mega Terry Bola. [ __ ] that. No. Hulk Hogan was a real American. Fight for the rights of every man. He’d be fighting for those people in Alligator Alcatraz right now. He’d be fighting for the trans kids that are moving from state to state right now to get the [ __ ] away from bad laws and possible problems. Yeah. He’d be fighting for the elderly who are going to lose their meals on wheels. He’d be fighting for the children that are going to lose their school lunch. He’d be fighting for the people that are going to lose their healthcare. That’s a real American. That’s what that song is all about is fighting for the little guy. fighting for the people that need the help to fight for. That’s what Hulk Hogan was all about. That’s what his character was all about on TV. But sadly, the person behind the scenes was not totally true to that character. No, I could honestly say that Terry Balia is more like Hollywood Hogan than Hulk Hogan. The character of Hollywood Hogan where he turned heel at Bash the Beach with Steve Ste Hall and Kevin Ash that formed the nWo. That character is more true to the real person that died yesterday. Not the person that we knew when we were kids that told us to say our prayers, eat our vitamins, that kind of [ __ ] Yeah. No. No. That’s not who the real person was. That was a cartoon character. That was a a a role played on television. the real person behind the scenes was a dirty ass racist and in some ways a real piece of garbage as a person. That’s just the damn truth. That’s just the damn truth. I love Hulk Hogan up until about 10 15 years ago when uh interview with Bubba the Love Sponge private recordings came out talking a very racist racist uh language. In fact, in the recording that was taped of him, he’s he admitted he’s a racist. He self-proclaimed himself. I’m a racist, brother. Yeah, these nwords, they better not be near my daughter. These nwords, nwords, this, nwords that. The man used the n-word very, very, very extensively behind the scenes. And now, let’s not get it twisted. There’s a lot of professional wrestlers from the 80s that were using the n-word left and right behind our backs, and you didn’t even know it. Seriously, they’re all rednecks from the south and they’re they’re carnne people and they’re they’re low IQ and they’re shitty shitty white trash. Of course, they’re going to be racist and use the n-word a lot. Oie Anderson, Bill Watts, people like Hulk Hogan, Terry Belalia. Yeah. Ric Flair, another one. Racists. Racist ass [ __ ] And the crazy thing is there’s a lot of people that idolize them that if they they knew who they were behind their backs, they would be like, “Holy [ __ ] I can’t.” The veil was lifted on Hulk Hogan. We saw the truth about him in those recordings. And that is truly who he is. Don’t Don’t try and make excuses for him. Don’t try and say [ __ ] like this. Oh, no, no, no. He’s just messed up. He had a bad day. [ __ ] that. That’s not what racism is. Racism is an ingrained characteristic personal trait. And that man from the day he was born in Georgia was a racist from his parents that’s passed down. And you don’t think that he taught Brooke and Nick to be racist, too? Let’s not be stupid. Come on. Let’s not be uh naive. Let’s not be naive. Racism is a tradition that’s passed down from generation to generation. And Hulk Hogan is a part of that tradition in his family. His racist ass backwoods hillbilly ass Georgia family. Yeah. Because that’s what it is. That man’s not from Venice Beach. That man’s not from some crazy place like the Mount of Zeus from Mount Olympus or anything like that. No, he’s from [ __ ] backwoods, straight up ass racist ass back country Georgia. That’s just the damn truth. Now look, I went to that wrestling match as a a 13-year-old. We caught Hulk Hogan’s shirt. My best friend Trey caught Hulk Hogan’s shirt. We ripped it off. Ah, threw it in the crowd. And my best friend caught it. It was my birthday. It was amazing. I got a piece of his shirt. I still have it. I was really into Hulk Hogan. I was really into WWF. Yeah, I saw him wrestle a bunch of times over the years. I saw him wrestle later on in WCW at a WCW event. I saw him. I went to Skydome for uh Wrestlemania 18 when he fought The Rock here in Toronto and the one of the greatest matches ever in the history of wrestling history. I was in that building when him and The Rock faced off. And we know our city loves Hulk Hogan. Oh yeah, Toronto loves Hulk Hogan. In the 80s, Hulk Hogan was all over Toronto Star. They put a full page picture of Hulk Hogan in there, a collector’s poster that I collected some of them. Put them up on the wall myself. Toronto loved Hulk Hogan. Maple Leaf Sports, Maple Leaf Wrestling, Maple Leaf Gardens, Hulk Hogan. That was a big big deal, big ticket. The heyday of Hulkster that he was coming up here and he was wowing the crowds here in Toronto. Oh yeah, he was. Yeah, I went to that match at Skydome on March the 17th, 2002. And I saw Hulk Hogan take on The Rock. The Rock was supposed to be the good guy, but the fans rejected him as the good guy. They wanted Hogan to be the good guy. So, they had to change it in the middle of the match and make Hogan the good guy. But The Rock still had to win eventually. Yeah, The Rock had to win eventually. He did. They did a good job. They did a fantastic job. It was actually a really good match. It may have been one of the greatest matches in Hulk Hogan’s career because he showed he listens to the crowd and he can change and uh improvise as to what they’re telling him. You know, Hulk Hogan was never a really good wrestler. He’s actually a really shitty wrestler, honestly. Anybody who says, “Oh, he’s one of the greatest wrestlers of all time,” you’re wrong. He’s not a good wrestler. He was a good uh uh presence and character. He was a good presence and character, but he was a horrible wrestler in the ring. Let’s get not get it twisted. He had a couple moves and he couldn’t do this. And not only that, he was horrible for wrestling behind the scenes. Oh, I can’t do that, brother. That doesn’t work for me, brother. That doesn’t work for Well, yesterday didn’t work for you, but you couldn’t do a damn thing about it, could you? Because that’s the damn truth. It doesn’t matter if you’re rich and famous. God’s going to come get you at some point. You’re gonna be gone. They gonna bury everybody just the same. It doesn’t matter if you’re Hulk Hogan and you’re an icon. You’re still Terry Balia and you still go on the ground just like everybody else does. That’s the thing. All these idiots that are [ __ ] up our world now while they’re alive, they’re leaving a bad shitty world for the people after us, our children, our grandchildren, and they’re not even having forethought. It’s so selfish, so [ __ ] up. going against sustainability and going against environmental regulations right now at this point when cataclysmic climate change is happening is one of the stupidest things in the world. It’s like we’re inbred and we’re dumb in the United States and we we’re just stupid. We’re stupid. Yeah, let’s go ahead and open up all the factories and just emit all kinds of pollution because it’s going to get better. Yeah, we’re stupid. Yeah, they’re dumb. You know, I want to talk about something real quick. You know, Hulk Hogan died less than a month after a medical procedure. Yesterday, the the the son of Dusty Roads came out, Dustin Rhodess, aka Gold Dust, and he said hospitals kill people every day. Okay, Dustin. Yeah. He blames the hospital for killing his dad, Dusty Rhodess. And he thinks that the hospitals killed Hulk Hogan, too. H something’s not right here. You know, the United States is supposed to have the greatest health care system in the world. It has the most expensive one. That’s for damn sure. So, you’d think they get what they pay for. You know, Hulk Hogan is rumored to be worth $30 million when he died, maybe even more. He could afford the absolute best health care in the world in the United States. But here we have the son of another wrestling legend blaming the hospitals for him dying. Does that make any sense? You know, in some ways you got to think about is uh are you better off without the hospital and living or going to the hospital and getting the medical care to try and help you? I mean seriously win-win is this. Seriously, if the health care system United States is so [ __ ] good, why are people blaming hospitals for killing people? Because people die in hospitals, Lex, because there’s always a chance if you go to a hospital, you might die. If you’re involved in a surgery or something like that, there’s always a chance, you know. That’s why we should be putting money into health care. That’s why we should be paying for the best doctors, the best equipment, the best of things, so people can have the best outcomes to survive and live longer. You know, if a man that’s worth so much [ __ ] money is a MAGA [ __ ] sucker and all that other stuff can’t have a longer life, then your health care system shitty, Trump. Seriously. And it’s only going to get worse with this bill that y’all just passed. You know, somebody like Hulk Hogan can’t be saved by the health care system in the United States that everybody else is completely [ __ ] Yeah. So, healthcare in the United States, this works real good. Y’all going to blame the hospitals? It’s like you’re going to blame the teachers for education, too. It’s like, where’s the logic in this? Where’s the stupidity? It’s right there. You can see it. The inbredad dumbass white trash idiocy of MAGA America, Donald Trump, Terry Balia, Elon Musk, all that [ __ ] Seriously, you’re going to blame hospitals? Well, you know what? If you fund the hospitals publicly and have public health care like other countries, like civilized countries in the world, maybe you’d have better health care outcomes with your citizens, including Hulk Hogan. You know, like what the [ __ ] Seriously, you know, there’s a lot of things we can talk about Hulk Hogan and the difference between Hulk Hogan and Terry Balia. Sure, be sad about Hulk Hogan. The idea of what he was dying, to me, that idea died 15 years ago. the idea of who Hulk Hogan was died. And only Terry Balia is who I see now. And Terry Balia is not someone to idolize. Terry Balia is not someone to look up to. Terry Balia is a piece of [ __ ] Honestly, and I’ll say that. Yeah. I mean, I knew it as soon as he showed up at Madison Square Garden to help Trump and get up there and do his stupid little ripet shirt. That was terrible. First of all, that was not Hulk Hogan because Hulk Hogan, the real American, he would beat the [ __ ] out of Donald Trump. The character, the real person, well, he’s a [ __ ] for Mega. But the character, Hulk Hogan, if he’s truly what the character is portraying, would beat the [ __ ] out of Donald Trump and [ __ ] bodys slam his ass and leg drop his face. That’s what the real character Hulk Hogan would do. We’ve got to discern what is fact and fiction, what is f, what is a madeup character, and who is a real person. And the real person is do Terry Balia and he’s a piece of [ __ ] Once again, he’s an absolute piece of [ __ ] People can make up excuses for him. They can say all they want, but it just the brass bottom line is here Steve Austin is he’s a piece of [ __ ] That’s just the damn truth. The man’s a liar, an egotist, and in some ways he messed up all kinds of wrestlers careers because he had to hold on to his spot. And he couldn’t do that, brother. He couldn’t do that, brother. He never He ran from Bret Hart his whole [ __ ] career. He never ever gave Bret Hart that Hogan versus Hart matchup because he knew Brett would outclass him and out wrestle him and make him look so much better. Yeah, call this guy Bret Hart guy. You know why? Because Bret Hart is the real deal for both. He’s not like Hulk Hogan/Terry Balia. Bret Hart is Bret Hart Bret Hart. You get Bret Hart as Bret Hart was. And you know what? the whole time he was doing his character. He was playing himself. He was actually saying stuff that he truly believed when he was talking about America, when he’s talking about uh the wrestling fans and the wrestling world. Bret Hart is legit. That’s what I was saying. But he ran from Bret Hart. He was scared of Bret Hart. He never ever let Bret Hart have a match against him. In fact, they did that convoluted [ __ ] at Wrestlemania with Yokazuna and that [ __ ] And everybody says afterwards Hogan was so wrong for that stealing Brett’s Thunder from that that Wrestlemania at that Caesar’s place. Stupid [ __ ] Yeah, that was messed up. Hogan had to run out there and ruin the whole uh moment just because he had the stroke. He had the creative control, so to speak. Yeah, the dude’s a piece of crap. I’m not gonna mourn him. I’m not gonna mourn the person that died yesterday. The character Hulk Hogan I’ll cherish and I’ll celebrate and it’ll be a part of my childhood forever. But I know how to separate them. I know how to separate them. It’s amazing how many racists are coming out yelling at people for calling Hulk Hogan a racist who self-proclaimed himself as a racist. Saying, “Oh, you call us all racist, it makes us into more racist.” No, that’s not how that works. Whatever that [ __ ] is. People coming out saying, “Oh, if you call white people racist too much, it gets them mad. Black people, don’t do it.” Who the [ __ ] is this movement doing this [ __ ] Like, what the [ __ ] kind of gaslighting is this [ __ ] They’re racist, they’re racist. If you’re not a racist, you don’t get upset. I’m a white person. You call me a racist. Well, I’m not a racist because I’m not doing racist things in my life. I’m sorry. You can call me a racist. Doesn’t hurt my feelings. But you gonna call a racist a racist, they get all butt hurt. Oh, you’re making me more racist because you call me a racist. Well, you know what? You’re probably lost cause already. You’re already [ __ ] racist. I mean, I don’t get that argument. I saw that a lot yesterday on social media. People coming out, you know, I I run a a wrestling website on the admin. I’m like 60,000 people in this group and there’s a guy who contributes in the group named Rashad who does amazing writeups about his memories about wrestling. And he wrote a a very long column yesterday in our group about his perspective about Hulk Hogan, Terry Balia as an African-American man. And it was eloquent and it really separated things in a way that I just separated things and talked about it. But boy, did the people come out after him. And oh, how dare a black man uh tell his opinion on Hulk Hogan and his racist ass. Oh, how dare you. You’re making it worse because you’re calling out that he’s a racist. Why can’t we just be positive and celebrate the person? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. We need to be honest about Terry Belia. We need to be honest about him. And that’s why in some ways Raptors admin yesterday stepped in it when they post a picture of Hulk Hogan with JYD in the Raptors jersey. Yeah, Hulk came to our games. He’d be sitting in the front row wearing a Raptors jersey. I love that. I was like, “Yeah, Hulkster. Yeah, that’s awesome. He’s in town. He likes sports.” And you know what? Him and a Raptors jersey was cool to me. It was before I think still the [ __ ] but still. You know, that’s the thing. Raptors admin and maybe Ed Rogers is like, “Yeah, put that mega icon up.” You know, Raptors uh fan base is still woke. You may not be woke, new owner of the Raptors and you’re [ __ ] from the top, but our fan nation is still woke and in some ways we are still very politically uh minded and very left-leaning and we’re very much anti-racist. And you found that out yesterday with your tribute post to Hulk Hogan in his passing that a lot of Raptors fans were down with that. They came out of the woodworks and they said, “Why the [ __ ] are you putting this mega racist piece of [ __ ] on the Toronto Raptors web page?” That’s the reaction a lot of y’all had. And I’m proud of you because that’s the right reaction. Seriously, somebody put this in the comments said, “Some people are just not uh you should not some people are just not worthy of doing this.” I’m sorry. And I agree with them. I mean, listen, if the Raptors want to do something nice, they really didn’t need to. They really really didn’t need to. And [ __ ] that mega piece of [ __ ] Hulk Hogan. I mean Terry Balia. I I want to separate him. [ __ ] Terry Balia. That piece of [ __ ] Seriously. And some people say, “Don’t talk about a dead person like that.” Yeah. You know, we’re all going to die someday. We all go the same way. That’s right. That’s right. All right. Let me get in the comments. I did 20 minutes of a spiel here. There’s a lot more I can talk about with Hulk Hogan. I know a lot about Hulk Hogan. I’ve studied his life and his career and a lot of things about him. Things that you wouldn’t want to know, things that you you you know, you could be proud of and that are pretty cool actually. But there’s a lot of dark [ __ ] too. Just so you know. All right, let’s see what y’all are saying. Man, some ways this is going to be a little bit of a wrestling uh stream today, and that’s fine because in some ways this is Raptors related because Raptors at men decided to post it on Toronto Raptors uh web page. So yeah, Trevor J saying life is strange. We come with nothing and fight for everything and in the end we leave with every we leave everything behind and go back with nothing. Yeah, that’s why this dumbass game that Jeff Bezos is playing, Elon Musk is playing is stupid. Seriously, you know what? You’re not going to be remembered for what? You think you’re going to be remembered, Elon or Jeff. You’re gonna be remembered as pieces of [ __ ] that could have done a lot of good, but you didn’t. you instead were greedy as [ __ ] and you did lavish crazy ass uh idiotic things with your money instead of actually solving world the world’s problems. You know, it’s crazy because either one of those two could absolutely change the world in a positive way if they chose to. But they don’t because they’re selfish little pieces of [ __ ] And this is the great thing is what Trevor said. They don’t get to take this with them. They’re gonna die just like Hogan did yesterday. And they’re gonna leave everything behind also. Yeah. So, what’s the [ __ ] point? Don’t people say if you go into nature the camp, they’ll leave the campground better than you you you found it? If you see that there garbage near the barbecue, you going to pick it up and throw it out because somebody didn’t throw it out before. That’s the best do it. Leave it better for the person after you. Well, these [ __ ] are destroying this planet for the next person after us. And that is the children. That is the grandchildren. That is those who will inherit this earth after us. And um yeah, good job industrialists, corporate [ __ ] billionaires, and oligarchs and 1%. You’re gonna [ __ ] destroy this world. And they’re accelerating it with the recent changes in the US government with the rolling back of EPA and all kinds of other stuff. Yeah. And this country is actually on the down low going with them. Mark Carney, I’m very disappointed in you. you know the whole using the whole threat of uh US towards Canada to open up uh against deregulation for deregulation and not regulating the environment and indigenous u u uh concerns is really really disappointing to me. I I actually am very sad that I voted for you because at this point I’m very sad what you’re doing. I know Pierre would have been worse. So, you’re the lesser of two evils, but you’re still disappointing the hell out of me, Mark Carney. You know, I I’m gonna look to Wab as my leader nationally, the premier of Manitoba. He’s the best MDP out there right now and he’s the one I trust the most as far as pol politicians in this country because Mark Carney, I don’t think that you’re totally doing things right for the people and I really worry that you’re opening the door for American companies to come and run rough shot for our environmental rules up here and we don’t want that. We do not want that. Canada has the largest boreal forest in the world and that’s something we should be proud of and we should keep intact and open up business just for the sake of strengthening Canada’s economy to be okay is [ __ ] This is a guys to [ __ ] get rid of a whole bunch of regulations to stop developers and big corporations from stripping our uh countryside of resources like forestry and minerals and things like that. So don’t fall for this [ __ ] some ways. I’m very disappointed in you, Mark Carney. Very, very disappointed. Trevor is saying, “Zack Low is always talking out of his ass.” Yeah, there’s a Zack Low interview with Michael Pina that uh you posted yesterday that I watched and you know, Zack Low’s kind of being fair, but also he’s pessimistic about the Raptors, but once again, he’s using the talking point that fit is curious to him about the Raptors uh team. He conveniently forgets about RJ Barrett. And it’s funny when Michael brings up R.J., He’s kind of like weird with his energy. Like I I don’t know why I don’t know why people have such a weird It’s like R.J. being a Canadian on the Canadian team means that he’s extra ultra double probation not talked about. I get it. I don’t know man. In some ways I love you Michael Pena for saying it. And you were kind of acting like you weren’t totally sure but man you should be sure. Brandon Ingram’s like that. You’re right about Brandon Ingram and Scotty Barnes. You’re right about him too. and Zach Low, you know, even though you’re not working for the big companies anymore, you’re on your own, man. I I expect better out of you. You guys will find out soon enough. And I’m confident in them. I’m more confident in them than Michael Pena is. Then we’re going to kick some ass long as we’re healthy. You know, even if we’re not totally healthy, the depth of our bench is going to show up because in some ways in that interview, Trevor, Zach Low wasn’t giving any credit to our young stars that are coming up like Shed and Grady and Jacobe. these guys are gonna make a difference this year for us. And uh a lot of the experts, the experts are don’t really know how to gauge our bench. And they’re like, “Oh, I don’t know if Raptors have a bench.” Well, we know we have a bench, right? Because we watch summer league. And in some ways, anybody who’s gauging the Raptors and they’re kind of putting in they don’t have a bench, they’re wrong. Let’s just put it that way. They’re wrong. Yeah. Trevor saying that Jamal Shed had an interview with Hello and welcome. It was very informative. He said he was going to apply citizenship and let everyone know that IQ is very smart and very hard to guard. Yeah, this interview was interesting. Uh Shetty is joking. I don’t know if he’s fully gonna actually apply for his US citizenship. It looked like he is. He might do it, but I think he was kind of tongue-in-cheek. I don’t think he was being totally serious about becoming Canadian, guys. Just so y’all know, I was reading his energy. It seemed like he was just kind of joking. I don’t know if he’s actually going to do it. Uh the things about IQ were interesting. Yeah, because William Lou’s asking uh Jamal Shed about competing in practice with people like Chucky Heppern, Elijah Martin, and yeah, it’s like that. It’s like that. And then they brought up IQ because IQ has to go against these defensive stalwarts, these amazing dog defenders and Jamal, Elijah, and Chucky. And that’s only going to make Emanuel better. In some ways, having those guys around has been probably huge for Emanuel Quickley because he’s going against some of the toughest defensive pressure you can have in his regular practices. Last year, DaVon Mitchell was part of this. And this year, uh, you know, we got Elijah and, uh, Chucky around. And, you know, Jacobe, too. He’s he’s annoying defender, too. But, uh, these kind of guys will make Emanuel a better offensive player because they have to steal, sharp, and steel in the practice. And uh you know they’re guarding the hell out of Emanuel. But Jamal saying is like yeah Emanuel’s so hard to guard. He really is. He really really is. And I don’t understand man. You know like Michael Pena said in that interview uh Manuel Quickley missed like 49 games last year. And uh we didn’t get a full effect of him. In fact the weird times when he was playing for us we were there were weird times in the season when nothing mattered. either was in the beginning uh and he you know he got hurt and then you know it was kind of ruining his momentum coming into the season and then he showed up for a lot of the last part of the season when we weren’t playing for anything and everybody wanted us to lose. So the full effect of Emanuel still hasn’t been felt even after a year and a half of him being a Raptor because he hasn’t really had an extended period of time where he could really get in a groove when he’s healthy to show what he can be for the Raptors. That’s going to be the thing that’s eye opening to people is if he can, God willing, be very healthy this year because last year was the most unhealthy year he ever had in his career at any level. Uh he’s going to show something different to people this year if he can be healthy. That’s what I’m saying. Uh Cass is here. Good morning, Cass. Good morning, Lex and Rap. Good morning to you, sir. I hope you’re having a great morning. Uh Reggie’s here. Good to see smooth brown man. Our uh current uh Saboran Cup champion of our trivia right now. Hulk Hogan was the number one reason why I watched wrestling as a child. In terms of impact on sports entertainment, he’s the best to ever do it. I want to sus this out fairly. I don’t I I want to show the positive sides of him, too. This is totally true. He’s the number one reason why most people got into wrestling as a kid. And for me, the gateway was Mr. T. Mr. T was one of my favorite uh actors before I was into wrestling because of the A Team. And I watched the A Team and well, Mr. T all of a sudden wanted to go do wrestling. He was on Wrestlemania. That is the gateway that got me in there. Now, I could technically say Mr. He’s the one who got me into wrestling, but the person that got me to stay into wrestling was Hulk Hogan for sure. So, yeah. I mean, I think that my story is very similar to a lot of people. It’s when wrestling went mainstream, you know, when Wrestlemania was a huge event that year and uh I really kind of got into it after Wrestlemania happened because I was at Movie Gallery and I saw the VHS cassette tape with Hogan and M uh Mr. T on the cover of it. I was like, “Oh, Mr. T’s in this. I want to watch this. And boom, I was a huge wrestling fan after that. It it is it really was a gateway like that. Your story may be similar. In some ways, I pinpoint Mr. T is the gateway for me, but Hogan was definitely there next to him and me getting in there. Yeah. Even though Mr. T hardly ever wrestled, it was like then you introduced, oh, here’s Hulk Hogan. And then boom, Hulk Hogan’s rocking wrestling. The LGN uh uh figures, all that kind of stuff is coming at you. That’s right. That’s right. Uh let’s see. As far as you saying that, you know, in terms of impact on sports entertainment, he’s the best ever do it. Sure. Sure. As long as you’re not delineating he’s the best wrestler, he’s the most popular wrestler ever. He’s also the one that brought the most people into the industry to watch it ever. Yeah, he’s the biggest draw. I would say that he’s the biggest draw. Uh somebody’s saying his personal life and attitudes, that’s a different story altogether. Yeah. Yeah. That’s the thing, you know, that’s a real good example. uh open to the secrecy of white supremacy and racism. It’s like, look, man, they can be a totally different thing to you in public and to your face, but behind closed doors when they’re in private, they’re ugly and they have very ugly views. And you know, in some ways, they understand that if they put their views out there publicly, they will not be so popular. So, they hide them. And there’s a lot of people like this. There’s people that you work beside every day that you would be shocked if you actually truly knew their racist attitudes underneath. This is the way this works. Racism is underneath the surface. And uh don’t get it twisted, man. In some ways, Hulk Hogan when he spoke in that interview, it was being his true self. A lot of people try and make apologies for him and excuses, but no, that’s the real deal him. You don’t say vile [ __ ] like what he said unless you truly are a racist and you truly believe what he believed. Seymour saying him and Zeus was mad. They even made a movie Earthquake. I always sided uh with his ops. Laugh out loud. I love it. All right. You like Earthquake? You want Earthquake to to break his ribs? Yeah. Yeah. King Kong Bundy. Oh, go on Avalanche. Oh, Hulk Hogan on Wrestlemania 2 in that blue steel cage. Yeah. You like Zeus, Tiny Listister. Of course, Debo from the great movie Friday. Tiny Listister was an amazing actor. And yeah, he had that foray into wrestling as Zeus in the movie No Holds Barred where Hulk Hogan holds a man up high and he shits his pants and he says, “Dookie.” And Hulk Hogan goes, “Dookie.” Oh man. Yeah, you were always on his OP sides. That’s funny, man. Man, I like that. Andre, you were hoping Andre would break him at Wrestlemania 3. Andre was going to kick his ass. Yeah, that whole story with Wrestlemania 3 is interesting, man. Like Hulk Hogan [ __ ] his back up when he lifted Andre. Seriously, he really [ __ ] his back up in that match. Like he he you could tell when it popped. He’s like, “Oh.” He’s like really hurt. But he covered himself and he beat him. Yeah. I like the story about that because he he’s like, “I don’t know if Andre was gonna let me beat him because Andre could do whatever he wanted to. If he didn’t want to let me beat him, he wouldn’t let me beat him. It’s hilarious. But he let him beat him because, you know, Andre actually really liked Hulk. Him and Hulk coming up together. Uh, in some ways, well, they didn’t come up together, but Andre was around already and he helped Hulk come up because in some ways, Andre always wanted good foils to go against. I mean, the man was fighting three guys at once at times. And when he could have a rare one person that could be a good foil against him, Stan Hansen, a Camala, you know, a big enough player, a wrestler like Don Leo, Jonathan, uh, you know, if you have those kind of wrestlers, Ernie the Cat Lad, you know, he Andre could have a good match, Blackjack Mulligan and Hulk Hogan was one of those sized wrestlers that could have a match where it was a very plausible good match and you would be like, “Oh, who could win?” So, they were a good match, Andre and Hulk. So Andre liked Hulk for that reason because they could make big money and he was a plausible match towards the Giant. A lot of people could match up with the Giant and be like, “Yeah, this is actually a compet competitive matchup.” No, most of them were squash. Squash. That’s it right there. Yeah, squash. That’s right. Uh but still salute Hulk. He was a real one. Yeah, he was a real No, Terry Terry was not a real one. But Hulk Hogan, ah, it’s tough to say. You know, I would get behind somebody like John Cena before Hulk Hogan as a character. John Cena’s done so many Makea-Wish. I know Hogan did a lot of Make a Wish, too. But John Cena has the record and he like in some ways I have way more respect for John Cena in his work outside of wrestling than anybody else. And Hog I’m not going to say Hogan didn’t do that kind of stuff because he did. And he was very very good with the kids in a lot of different ways. Very very good in a lot of different ways. That’s right. Yes, Carlo JS is saying, “I love Hogan as a kid, but found out who he really was, so [ __ ] him.” And his races appro short and sweet, man. Short and sweet on that one, man. I’m going to give you a dunk for that. That’s hilarious. He’s just like, “Yeah, but [ __ ] him.” Six 64 on the dunk charts. Yeah, it’s it’s tough, man, because it’s not Everybody’s complicated, right? This is the whole thing about this. Everybody is complicated in certain ways, you know? of great people that did amazing things, you know, like John Lennon was an amazing musical artist that brought so much joy to the world with his music and writing his music, but he was an absolute [ __ ] in real life, an abusive person who was not very nice to people, but his music did so much. I mean, there’s different people throughout history that made such huge contributions, but were absolute pieces of [ __ ] in real life. Seriously, it’s crazy, man. It’s crazy. Fiercely here. Good morning, fam. And happy Friday. Happy Friday to you, MJ. Hope you’re having a great day. Uh Seymour saying he should have been in ProStars with uh Bo Jackson, Michael Jordan, and Wayne Gretzky. Well, he had his own cartoon with the JYD and Tito Santana and uh Fabulous Moola and Big John Stud and Iron Chic and Captain Lou [ __ ] Hillbilly Jim, Andre the Giant. Yeah, the Hulk Hogan’s rock and wrestling was drawn by the same people that drew the Pro Stars. And if you take the stills from ProStars and you take the stills from Hulk Hogan’s Rock and Wrestling, they look like they exist in the same world. You could take Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, and Bo Jackson from the ProStars cartoon. No, they wanted real athletes for that cartoon. Like really top level athletes. In some ways, I get why you’re saying that, but remember, wrestling is sports entertainment. It was never real. It was never real. Seymour saying hi to I candy. I love it. I love it. Let’s see. Seymour saying, “Yeah, Hogan exiled his daughter because she wanted to do some songs with his raptors.” Rappers facts. He said some like this was the whole racist thing that Hogan said was, “I don’t want my daughter with an N-word unless they’re a seven foot nword and they’re making millions of dollars.” Like, he wanted her to be with a NBA player, obviously. And it’s okay if she’s with somebody like Dennis, my friend Dennis Rodman. That’s another thing about Hulk Hogan that’s interesting to me is my favorite basketball player of all time probably Dennis Robin was very close with him and of course Dennis did the nWo with him Rodzilla you know Dennis is very sad about him dying yesterday he did a tribute to him Ric Flair did a tribute to him was very much crying on TMZ about Hulk Hogan dying Ric Flair yesterday uh you know if you you had told me that Hulk Hogan was going to die before some of these people I was I would be shocked I thought Ric Flair for sure was going to die before Hulk Hogan. I’m gonna be honest. Seriously, I really, really have thought that. Seriously. And probably, you know, Ric Flair a couple times probably should have died before Hulk Hogan. Whether it’s the airplane crash, whether it’s the health scare a couple years ago and him not quitting drinking. Well, he’s he’s on his way. Trust me, he’s on his way. Uh yeah, he exiled his daughter. Yeah, Hulk Hogan was funny because much like Azie, this is a weird thing. This is the week of people dying that had family reality sitcoms. They had the Oz Osbors with Aussie and Sharon and Jack and Kelly. And then they had Hogan Knows Best with Brooke and Nick and Linda and Hulk. Yeah. Yeah, that show was interesting. Hogan Knows Best. Very, very interesting, you know. But yeah, Brook Hogan. Yeah, you can’t date black guys according to your dad because in some ways he’s very racist and you don’t want that in that kind of way around his life. Crazy. Crazy. My brother’s here, y’all. Good morning, freaks. Good morning to you, Carl. I hope you’re doing very, very well. Uh, I know that you’ve been very busy this summer. It was very cool to see that you took Harry to the MLB All-Star game in Atlanta recently and that he caught a ball from a player that was in the field. Y’all, my my my nephew went to the MLB All-Star game just a couple weeks ago and he got a ball from uh the outfielder. They threw it to him. Isn’t that cool? I love that my nephew’s getting to do so much fun stuff. I mean, this year he’s caught a ball from the major major league baseball all-star game and he also highfied Scotty Barnes at an Atlanta Hawks game this year. So, hey, that’s amazing stuff. Those are great memories, Carl. I love you so much. I love your family so much. I miss you guys. I miss you. My brother came in and checked on me this morning, guys. I love you, Carl. I miss you, man. Seymour saying, “Solute the Hulk [ __ ] Hogan.” Yes, sir. City slicker. That’s right. Smooth brown man saying he also screwed over Jesse Ventura. Yeah, this is an interesting story that Reggie’s bringing up, you know, and this is this totally shows the kind of person Hogan is. Totally shows it. And he was this way all along. Honestly, in the mid 80s, the wrestlers were starting to make huge money, but Vince was making way more money. And once again, this is owners versus talent. You know, it’s just like the NBA, owners versus basketball players, owners versus wrestlers. These are the guys that are busting their ass, the guys that are putting their lives on the line, wrestling every night, and uh they’re traveling and being away from their families. Well, Vince McMahon was an [ __ ] He did not compensate people correctly. you know, all these guys who had dolls and were making so much. You thought they were making so much money. They weren’t. They weren’t. Vince was really, really bad with pay. So, Jesse Ventura and Brett Hart were getting together a union. They wanted to form a union for the wrestlers to fight with Vince to get proper pay. Well, Hulk Hogan heard about Jesse talking about getting a union together. He ratted him out to Vince. He said, “Jesse Ventur is trying to start a union, Vince, and I’m your top guy, and I know you pay me so well.” And in some ways, he was just being a dick as the 1% in wrestling towards the middle class of wrestling, people like the JYD, people like Camala, people like Hillbilly Jim, people like Jesse Ventura. And uh Vince fired Jesse. Vince came at him and said, “You’re trying to start a union. You’re fired, Jesse Ventura.” Well, [ __ ] you, Vince. I’m out anyway. you know, it’s that kind of [ __ ] you know. So, Hogan was a union buster. Hogan was a snitch and Hogan was a rat on his own uh com compadres that he worked with. And that’s sad. That [ __ ] happened in the mid 80s and around when he was at his height that was behind the scenes. Yeah. You know, Hogan was always in a weird relationship with Vince. In some ways, Vince loves him so much. Obviously, Vince McMahon knows that his life would not be anything like it is right now without Hulk Hogan and in some ways, but they had a falling out for a while because Vince got mad at Hogan for going to WCW and helping the competition beat his ass. Honestly, there were years in the 90s where WCW is beating WWF for ratings and money and all kinds of stuff. Eric Bishoff running it and Hulk Hogan being a big part of it. and Vince had a hard time kind of uh you know reconciling with Hulk after that. And there’s also the whole stuff about the steroid trial, but Hulkster came in and he’s protected Vince. He’s protected Vince every time when the [ __ ] hits the fan, there’s trouble. Even if Hulk is not totally on the same page with Vince in their lives, he’s always protected Vince. He’s always been that kind of guy because in some ways once again Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan know each other needed each other to do what they did. They both needed each other and in some ways that’s part of it right there. That’s right. That’s right. Fiercely saying, “Yeah, despite growing up to WWF era, I can’t connect with Hogan’s passing due to his beliefs. This week I’d rather honor Malcolm Jamal Warner.” Yes. Yes. I mean, these are role models that we lost this week. We lost Theo Huxable in some ways. I’ve heard him described this week as one of the few examples for young African-American men on growing up on television. At that time, he was so important for people uh that were around my age that were growing up to see somebody like him on TV. And that’s why The Cosby Show was so important in some ways. It’s sad that Bill Cosby’s tainted the legacy of the Cosby Show because the Cosby Show was something that really really did allow for an example for African-American people to look forward look up to or look to look towards or see an example of their their life on TV and be like, you know what, this is awesome. I have a role model. I can be like Theo. I want to be like Theo. And in some ways, the TV just didn’t have enough Theo Huxables. And that’s why in some ways Theo Huxible is a very important icon also because like I said there weren’t a lot of uh people on TV for that kind of stuff for young black men that were growing up to kind of identify with and that that’s important. Azie of course he’s going to have an impact on this world going forward forever. Of course and Hogan will too to an extent. To an extent the footnote is there for him. Obviously the footnote is there. Kareem Thomas is saying, “I love Hulk Hogan until he had an affair with Ry’s wife, Elizabeth, and obviously his racist comments about his daughter’s boyfriend. Hulk Hogan, great actor, shitty person.” Yeah, Hulk Hogan, great character. Terry Balia, shitty person. It’s as simple as that. Kareem, you just got to separate the actual person from the character. The character is what we all love. The character was the phenomena. The character was the thing that made wrestling big. And that’s that’s what we can all celebrate. and mourn. Although I mourned that character a long, long time ago. I actually mourned that character when I found out Hulk Hogan was a racist. That’s when I mourned that character then. That’s right. You fell for that. That Hogan was with Elizabeth. This was never actually really a thing. I want to uh you know, you know, they did such a good job of making it seem real, but this was never a real thing. Elizabeth never did anything with Hulk Hogan. They were close friends. And that there’s actually stories about when Randy and Elizabeth broke up finally in the mid 90s. Uh she went to the Hogan Hogan’s house to stay with them to kind of get away from Randy because she was best friends with Linda. And Elizabeth went over and stayed with Hulk Hogan and his wife to get away from Randy. But it wasn’t like Hogan was sleeping with her. It was that she was a friend and that they were giving her a place to go to. Uh, you know, Elizabeth is weird, a weird story. I mean, you got to understand Elizabeth and Randy were like sweethearts from a very, very young age and they really were together and he was very possessive of her. Trust me, he was. But the whole thing that they played off of uh you know the the eyes and like Hogan like putting his hand on her butt and holding her on her his shoulder and like Hogan like in the back and the whole part where the the mega powers explode over Elizabeth. You know, a lot of that was based on Ry’s true jealousy of Elizabeth and other people. But it wasn’t Hogan. Hogan was never actually somebody that was doing things with Elizabeth. It was never that case. She actually didn’t do anything with anybody. She wasn’t a ring rat. She was a very classy lady. And uh yeah. Yeah. There’s a lot of allegations about her that are kind of stupid. Honestly. Honestly. So, just to clear the air, there was no real thing between Elizabeth and Hulk Hogan. That’s not true. It was a part of a storyline. Fly saying, “But I do recognize he revolutionized wrestling.” Salute to him for that. He put it on the map. He made it big. There’s different uh people that came in the history of the wrestling that made it bigger and bigger. Now, let’s not get it twisted. Hulk Hogan, just like a lot of wrestlers, is an archetype is is he didn’t make his character. His character was a character from before. In fact, we mentioned one of the people he ripped off, Jesse Ventura earlier. Superstar Billy Graham. Yeah, the this is who he did. And I mean, they’re all along the line and lineage back to G gorgeous George back in the early 40s and stuff like that. So it’s like, you know, there’s certain archetypes. There’s the Russian, you know, you can have the Samoan, you can have different archetypes around wrestling and different generations and different people do it. And Hogan’s archetype was not new. He was doing Superstar Billy Graham. He was doing Jesse the Body Ventura. That he was ripping off these guys, honestly. That’s right. Andre the Giant. That’s right. That guy was a racist, too. I’m sad to say it guys, but Andre used the N-word and he was a racist. He was on a bus one day with Bad News Alan Co. and he was using the N-word around him and Allan did not like that judo champion. Allan Co. Yeah, he’s a Olympic judo champion and a real badass. And one of the few people that would challenge Andre the Giant to a fight for real in real life. And he did. He did. He said, “Andre, you don’t stop using that n-word, I’m going to take you outside this bus and whoop your ass.” Andre didn’t get up and he shut up and he didn’t go out in the bus off the bus and fight Alan Co. He shut the [ __ ] up and he stopped using that n-word around him. That’s Andre the Giant. Seriously, that’s how serious Bad News Brown was that day about Andre using the N-word. Yeah, let’s not get it twisted. These a lot of these guys were racist as [ __ ] and they’re kind of [ __ ] up. Seriously, Kareem Thomas saying it. Fiery agree. I’m paying more homage to Jamal than Hulk Hogan. Yeah, my hierarchy has got Azie and Jamal above Hulk Hogan for sure. When I saw the news yesterday, I didn’t have any kind of reaction. You know, if I had been a kid and the way that I grew up and thinking about him and how I idolized him, I would have been in shambles yesterday, but it’s changed. Everything has changed. And in some ways, uh, I was numb to it. I didn’t have a reaction either way. I was like, “Okay, he’s gone.” Well, I’m not totally surprised, but I am kind of surprised, but also I’m kind of like, yeah, okay, I’m not upset. Aussie, it was a blow. I felt it that day. I felt really sad about Malcolm Jamal Warner, also, especially finding out more details about how he passed. It’s so young in age, too, you know, so young in age. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. Yeah. Let’s see. Uh, Smooth Sam, Jesse and Mick Foley are two of the most wellspoken wrestlers ever. Also, Kevin Nash. Yeah, those guys are awesome. And so is Brett Hart, guys. These guys are real ones. And in some ways, they’re humans. They’re humanistic people. And you know, Kevin Nash getting in trouble recently for speaking out against Donald Trump and the MAGA and people coming after him for it is brave in this world. People like me and Kevin Nash talking out against MAGA and being anti-Maga. In some ways, we’re brave for this because they’re coming for people like Steven Cobear. Oh, I’m so proud of South Park. South Park, you guys are funny, man. And Trey and Matt, look, you guys signed this $1 and a half billion dollar deal on Monday. And then on Wednesday, you come out with the most skuring episode of Donald Trump. And I love that you did the whole Sodom Hussein with Satan in bed with Satan thing. You brought that back as a call back. Oo, that’s so loaded. And that is so right on. Dead right on. And man, I now people are saying, “Oh, did they do enough to anger the King Donald that he will have to smite Paramount and this new contract that they just they I think that they let the merger go through and Trey and Matt are doing this afterwards. Either way, kudos to you, South Park, and everybody who’s saying, “Oh, they need to cancel South Park right now. You’re fascist. You’re part of the [ __ ] uh Nazis of today.” And uh no, South Park has always done what they’ve done. You say they trying to say, “Oh, South Park leftists were mad at South Park before.” No, we weren’t. We want freedom of speech. Even if South Park made fun of left people, you know what? They should have that right to make fun of anybody because that’s what uh freedom is. That’s what democracy is. And when you don’t have the right to make fun of people, well, you’re living in a dictatorship. You’re living under a king. And that’s what this [ __ ] wants. He’s threatening the view and Joey Behar because they say something negative about well we’re going to get you canceled too. Yeah, we’re fast seeing the United States fall into uh Russia and under Putin and the [ __ ] there. The playbook of Putin is the playbook of Trump and we need to understand that. And that’s why in some ways we need to be careful about Canada’s sovereignty and [ __ ] that’s going on at the border. Seriously. Yeah. Seriously. All right, let’s keep going. Uh let’s see. Seymour saying, “Raptors, Argos, Tempo, Jay’s, Shooting Stars, Leafs.” In that order is my allegiance. Okay, now you bring this. We asked this yesterday. Raptors, Argos, Tempo, Jay’s, Shooting Stars, Leafs. Okay, I like that order. That’s not bad. I got to remember to put the Shooting Stars in my order, too, because I am a Scar Bro Shooting Stars fan. I am a CBL Scar Bro Shooting Stars fan. I got to put them in there. I think my hierarchy is now Raptors, Tempo, Blue Jays, Shooting Stars, Toronto FC, Argos, and then Leafs. Yeah. Yeah. Leafs there. Yeah. Yeah. Might be a dual citizen. Might be a dual citizen. Who’s a dual citizen? Jamal shed. Oh, yeah. Well, I’m not saying he won’t. He might not do it. He didn’t seem totally serious, but maybe he will. I don’t know. I can’t totally tell. We’ll have to see. Mischief’s here. The basement’s here. Rest in peace, Hulk. Hulk Hulk Hogan. He gave us 71 years heavy heart feeling. Yeah, this is actually part of why he died. He had heart failure at his house yesterday. You know, I thought that he actually died during surgery the way they were Dustin Reynolds was making it sound like. No, he had a surgery a month ago and he was not recuperating from it very well. You know, years and years of steroid abuse is gonna destroy your heart. You know, not to mention his back was all [ __ ] up, guys. He had horrible, horrible back issues and he had all kinds of spinal fusions and different things and some of that [ __ ] wasn’t right. He in fact sued some of his doctors for messing his back up and uh he had problems with all of his joints, his knees, his elbows, everything. Hulk Hogan was all messed up and that’s partly from his career in wrestling. You know, there were certain period in Hulk Hogan’s career where he couldn’t take bumps at a certain point because he was so messed up and a lot of that was in WCW. You see, he won’t hit the mat like he used to. You know, Hulk Hogan’s best wrestling part of his career was in Japan. He went over to Japan, New Japan in the 80s, and he actually wrestled technically. And in some ways, he showed the ability to be able to technically wrestle like Brett Hart and Mr. Perfect. But, uh, that was only because that style demanded it there. And in some ways over here, they didn’t want him to do that show. They wanted him to do the Hogan show over here. Vince wanted him to do the Hogan show. But in Japan, he actually did have some wrestling matches. There’s one in particular against the Great Muda that’s absolutely insane. So, you know, if you want to see good wrestling by Hulk Hogan, you go watch New Japan matches with Hulk Hogan from the 80s and you’ll see some good wrestling there. Yeah. Yeah. Some very good wrestling. Good to see you, Mischief, in the chat. See more Pepe saying that open practice on October the 2nd is going to be packed. Didn’t know all of Toronto has moved out west. I’mma post pics. I’m mad hyped right now. Yeah, we you just get in there. All right, you just get in there. You get priority queue. You get in that and get those tickets. Don’t sleep on this Seymour and find out exactly when they’re available and get it right away because you know they will go fast. The city of Calgary has a lot of people in it. And yeah, it’s gonna be a hot ticket. Everybody’s gonna want to go to this. Maybe on the download most people won’t know about it, but you know about it, so you get on it. That’s what I’m saying. Cass is saying at MJ, the post on Instagram was deleted due to backlash as far as I know. Yeah, they took the one off Instagram. They took the one off of Twitter, but they didn’t take the one off Facebook. The one on Facebook is still there. We saw our great JYD JYD uh do a post tribute to Hulk Hogan himself because he was around the Hulkster. Also, you know, I’m not gonna say that uh Hulk Hogan is a bad thing. I’m gonna say Terry believe it was. That’s right. That’s right. Let’s see. Um, uh, Rand’s here. Blessings to our Raptor Freak family. Your life is a story that will end when you draw your last breath. Make it a best read by living your best life of positive inspirations and great influence. Thank you, Randolph, for your blessings. I appreciate you. There you go. Write your story. You know what is your legacy? What is Hulk Hogan’s legacy? Well, it’s tarnished. Honestly, it’s tarnished by racism. And that’s sad. Racists will look past it and say, “Oh, he’s a good guy. I love him. He’s mega. I love him. But people are going to see the whole picture. They’re going to see it like us. And that’s just how it is. Legacy is tarnished. Hulk Hogan’s legacy is tarnished. That’s just the damn truth. The sad thing is a lot of wrestlers legacies are tarnished in the end because we find out the truth about them from behind the scenes just how much most of them are very flawed pieces of [ __ ] Honestly, most of the wrestlers are very flawed and they’re not good people. Trust me, these are people that used to travel around and drug women on purpose and rape them. I mean, there’s wrestlers that did that kind of [ __ ] You know, you we know about uh Ric Flair on the plane ride from hell. We know about uh [ __ ] up things Brock Lesnar is implied with the Vince McMahon sex scandal. We know [ __ ] up things that uh you know, other people did. You know, that’s why I say people like Brett Hart, they’re awesome because they’re genuine real deal people. And like people getting mad at Brett for being whiny or being anti-American, but the man’s the real deal Holyfield. He’s a great Canadian in my book. And he should be on the $50 bill. Honestly, they should put Brett Hart on a pink $50 bill for Canada. That’s what I believe. That’s right. That’s right. Blessings to Randolph Phillips, his Phillips family, and all the Rap Freak families. Seymour saying, “The Nature Boy touches grass.” Lex Rick’s still here laugh. I know. I know. Go by God’s grace. I mean, seriously, of all the people that have passed from wrestling, Ric Flair still being on this earth right now is actually really amazing. Honestly, it’s super amazing. Crazy amazing. Crazy amazing. But, you know, his time’s going to come, too. We know that. We know that the man’s not slowing down. That’s part of the problem. His doctors have told him to stop. Wendy left him because he’s just not uh listening to the doctors and he doesn’t care. He’s like, I’m gonna live right up until the end. Woo. and I’m not stopping. That’s kind of his attitude right now. It’s like it’s like somebody who has cancer and won’t stop smoking cigarettes. Like, ah, I’ve already got it. I might as well just enjoy what I do, you know, right up until the end. That’s the way Flair’s going. And in some ways, that’s why I thought he was going to be gone before Hogan. Seriously, because he ain’t living healthy. That’s right. He ain’t living healthy at all right now, honestly. Wayne saying, “Morning, rap freaks. Hulk Hogan was a waste of skin, and so is Dennis Robin. No one gets a pass because they’re entertaining. I’m a huge fan of John Legend and I have never heard anything negative. There you go. Yeah, John Legend. I’ve never heard anything bad about John Legend. John Legend is a classy person. In some ways, the world of MAGA and Donald Trump has shown that you can be a really shitty ass person and still try and be popular because it’s like, oh, give him pass, Donald Trump. That’s one of the things he’s done. The worst thing to society is that he’s given a lot of tolerance to criminality, uh, grifting, uh, being a shitty person more and more in this world. He’s given more li license to shitty people to be shitty people because he gets away with it. That’s the sad thing about this. There used to be integrity. There used to be people like Al Franken that would step down over the littlest thing because he had integrity, you know, but not not anymore. These [ __ ] they will run run around things just to keep their little gigs of making money. Politicians, they could have scandals out the ass and they’re just trying to avoid them and just stay alive in there and they don’t care. It’s messed up. Integrity is in short supply in a lot of people these days. And that’s sad, man. That’s sad, man. Really, really sad. Yeah, you don’t like Dennis either. You know, Dennis is a piece of crap in some ways, too. Yeah, you’re right. He’s a flawed person, but in some ways I understand Dennis and his flawedness to an extent. He He is MAGA, which is annoying to me, too. But that’s partly because he was on The Apprentice and Donald Trump and Dennis Robin are friends in some dumbass way. I mean, it really bugs me about Dennis Robin because I man, he shouldn’t be like this. But then again, he’s done so much drugs and drank so much his brain’s fried and he’s going to be stupid. In some ways, I give Dennis a pass just because of his hard work in the NBA and what he did on the court, but I shouldn’t. You’re right. I shouldn’t. I should treat him exactly not exactly like Hogan, but there are things about Rodman that are problematic for sure. Uh Randolph saying, “I saw Hulk Hogan live at the Montreal Forum. It was the day I dropped wrestling uh because what I saw was so fake. Before then, I religiously watched wrestling.” You go and see a Hulk Hogan match in real life and you’re like, “Holy crap, he’s not really hitting him.” Like, “What is that?” And the leg drop. I mean, he was such a weird corny car wrestler. Like, really, really corny. The whole thing where he’d hulk up. He’s like getting hit and he’s like, and he’s like coming back and then he goes and then he does that and then he just starts hitting him in the forehead. Yeah, that that was so goofy. That’s the fans ate it up. That’s what they wanted. They wanted that [ __ ] That’s right. Mean Gene Oerlin. That’s right. Uh, Hulk is back with his guy Mean Jean. Mean Jean. Mean Gene Oakland here with Hulk. Hulkster. Come on in here, Hulkster. What do you mean Jean, brother? Woo. No, wait. That’s Ric Flair. I did the Yeah, Mean Jean’s up there already. Yeah, Mean Jean’s not a bad guy. He’s a pretty good dude for the most part. At least as far as I know, Mean Gene was a good guy. Uh, FY saying Cass, thank you for confirming. I’m loving this. Bravo. Bravo. Confirming. Okay. Um, yeah, that was about the deletion. Okay. Uh, Seymour’s saying, “Wow, I don’t know that F Andre then, too.” Yeah, Andre, unfortunately, I mean, in some ways, we got to look at it different with Andre. Andre was a farm boy from uh France, and I don’t know how many black people were in his life early on. And in some ways, you know, coming over to America and becoming a wrestler opened his eyes to the whole entire world and stuff like that. I don’t know, man. It’s sad when you hear these stories, for sure. It’s sad, but you know, Bad News Allen regulated on that one pretty good there. Even though there’s another crazy Andre story with Camala, you know, Camala is a very interesting person. Jim Harris was from the South and he was Sugar Bear Harris before he was Kamala. And uh it was Jerry Lawler who came up with Kamala, the Ugandan Giant. He said, “Kamala, why don’t you do this and this?” Which is kind of racist that Jerry Lawler said, “Do this.” this, but Jim Harris was about it and he really did kind of thrive because of the weird tribal gimmick that he was doing, which was very racist in itself. Now, Camala because of his size, as I said earlier, was matched up against Andre a lot. like that was a match and and uh Jim Harris is one of the few people in wrestling that actually bodys slammed Andre like legitimately like Carly Rays like uh Hulk Hogan you know and uh well Harris was legitimately scared of Andre and there was a time when Harris was keeping a gun on him because he thought Andre was coming after him to hurt him. So he literally would wrestle in matches with his weird like skirt and his tights with a gun in his tights. Camala, I know this sounds so crazy. Like this is crazy [ __ ] but he would be wrestling in some of these matches with a gun on him and y’all didn’t even know that. And uh apparently like in the in the locker room one day he had the gun out and they’re like, “Why do you have this gun?” It’s like [ __ ] Andre, you come near me, I’ll show you why. It’s so crazy, man. When I heard that about like Camala, I was like, “Holy [ __ ] that’s crazy, man. That’s so crazy. So crazy.” All right, let’s keep going. Karine Thomas saying, “My favorite wrestlers were Mr. Perfect, uh, perfecting my Mr. Perfect skills to perfection because I’m a perfectionist, and Coco Beware. I don’t know why because I [ __ ] hate birds.” Well, these guys are both interesting wrestlers. Kurt Henning is a flawed person for sure. Yeah, he’s a dick, man. Kurt Henning was an absolute [ __ ] man. I’m telling you right now. I know. I met him in real life. He was a dick in real life. I mean, he was also a nice guy in private life, too. But he played the character in real life more often than not. An arrogant Mr. Perfect kind of guy, you know. But yeah, he’s an interesting guy. He was a river, too. He was one of those guys that were always playing pranks on everybody around him, which is annoying. Coco Beware still with us. Koko Beware underrated player, a wrestler. A lot of people misalign him as being a jobber, as being an enhancement talent. He’s not. He was a midcard talent. He was very popular. He was extremely popular in Tennessee and also in Midsouth for Bill Watts. And uh you know, Koko was on a level close to JYD, but not totally as popular as uh Sylvester Ritter. But Koko Beware did h was one of the most popular black wrestlers in the 80s and he was huge. He was a mainvener in the lower territories but on WWF he was a midcarter but he did get on some pretty big cards in the 80s like the Wrestlemania and yeah Coco Beware was interesting in some ways he was there for the kids in the entertainment but he was actually a really good wrestler too. Really good wrestler and he’s still with us which is awesome. Yeah, Coco’s a good guy. Uh let’s see. Um, Smooth saying, “Instead of calling wrestling fake, I call it predetermined. The pain is real. They put their lives on the line to entertain.” This is this is a good discernment. I can get behind this. You know, wrestling is not fake because these guys really get hurt. But the the the story lines and what they’re trying to do out there is predetermined. And in some ways, they do improvise. Sometimes there is a shoot where guys get really actually pissed at each other and they’re actually hurting each other in the ring. There there’s all kinds of different levels to it. And uh yeah, saying something’s fake. Well, this gets back to, you know, something that happened with Hulk Hogan and Richard Beller when he appeared on the Richard Bellser show with Mr. T and he put Richard Beller in a headlock to prove to him it wasn’t fake and he knocked his ass out and then there was a lawsuit. There was a lawsuit. So, it’s kind of crazy, man. It’s kind of crazy. Uh Koy saying, “I love how you phrased it, Lex. Love the character, but [ __ ] the person behind it. Dunk for you.” Thank you. I’ll take that one, Koy. I’ll take that. Yeah, it’s just really important. I’ve had to go through this uh on my own personally over the years since the release of the racist uh tape of him. And I’m like, yeah, you know what? I’m going to decide to separate the character from the person. That’s the easiest way to do this. And in some ways, you can celebrate Hulk Hogan. You can talk about the impact he had on you and your childhood and stuff like that, but understand who Terry Belie is on the other side of things, too. And he showed you exactly who he was when he showed up at Madison Square Garden for Donald Trump. He showed you exactly there. Seriously. Yeah. Kareem saying, “Wrestling is basically Days of Our Lives, but instead of a cliffhanger onto the next episode, they fight.” I mean, I’ve heard it been described as male soap operas. For sure. For sure. It’s It’s definitely that kind of stuff. All right, let’s go ahead and check on some tabs real quick. First of all, let me see what’s going on here with uh the WNBA. There’s a few games tonight. Phoenix at New York. Angelica Suffren is the crew chief with Michael Price as referee and Kelly Broomfield as the umpire. Las Vegas Aces will play against the league leading Minnesota links tonight. Isaac Barnett is the crew chief with Kevin Fehee and Marcy Williams. And the Dallas is at Golden State Valkyries. Randy Richardson is the crew chief with Gonabazi and Sarah Williams. check on your WNBA fantasy leagues. We got some great matchups. I’ve doubled up Edmond real bad already. Uh Cass is beating Logical Raptors Fanatic. Uh Kareem, you’re getting your butt kicked by MJ. Uh Coolcat is beating JP and it’s very close. This is a close matchup to watch. Meredith versus James. Meredith, the two-time champion, has overtaken James at this point. So James, you got some work to do if you want to take that lead back from our WNBA twotime champion of fantasy, Meredith. Uh, that’s right. Right there. Shaq Lindsay saying, “Epstein, Epstein, Epstein. How can this man get away with this? The biggest cover up in history. The picture don’t lie despite the media cover up.” Yeah, I can go on Epstein stuff. I mean, it’s always been obvious that Donald Trump was one of the most important figures in the whole Epstein thing. He’s always been around the whole thing. Him and Epstein were like this, and this is the truth. I’m really worried for that woman that’s in jail in Tallahassee right now. You know, Jeffrey Epstein found an end quick and I think her time might be coming out. If you hear that Maxwell has died in any kind of way in the next couple weeks or the next couple months, know that that was not a suicide. I’m g say this right now. Watch her right now. The woman that’s in jail near the high school I went to in Tallahassee, Florida right now is on a watch because seriously, they weren’t paying attention to her last couple years, but things are amping up right now. I could see her mysteriously dying all of a sudden. And that’ll tell you all you need to know about this whole situation. You know, they can release that file. They were going crazy about it. It’s it’s so dumb. It just shows how stupid MAGA is and Donald Trump. And this hopefully should destroy him. But it might not. That’s the craziest thing about this. This motherfucker’s gotten away with so much at this point. And in some ways, he’s led a he’s a trailblazer for [ __ ] criminals. In some ways, he’s blazing a trail for people behind him to get away with [ __ ] murder like he has. And that’s sad. That’s not the way America should have been developing. This is totally anti-Hulk Hogan and Real American. It’s totally anti. And yeah, he he the evidence is all there. I mean, people are, are you that stupid that you don’t think Donald Trump in an interview said he likes girls as young as 12? He said that. There’s an interview out there. You can hear him saying that. So why the [ __ ] wouldn’t he be at Epstein’s Island [ __ ] underage girls? He has been doing that. He did that. You know he did. You see the creepy [ __ ] that he’s around Ivanka. Once again, a lot of the stuff that Donald Trump and MAGA blames other people. Like remember a couple years ago they got all into sex trafficking and they’re like really big on we got to stop sex traffickers in the United States. They’re so out of control and stuff like that. Man, they’re telling on themselves. They’re the sex traffickers. Whether it’s Matt Gats, whether it’s Donald Trump, I’m just saying that whenever they blame the left, whenever they say this about the left, just take it and put it on them and you can understand, wow, they’re telling on themselves. This is what they’re saying that the left is doing, but they’re actually the ones that are doing it. Seriously, start watching them and listening to them through that lens, and they will tell on themselves in so many different ways. So many different ways. Biden uh rigged the election. Biden rigged the election. No, they rigged the election. They’re telling on themselves. Whether it’s a Hillary or this she used Russian interference to help in the election. No, you used Russian interference to help in the election. Yeah, the left is all about trafficking young women in this world. No, you guys are. You guys are. This basically what you got to understand at this point, the fingerpointing from the right-wing and MAGA is basically them telling their crimes. And you got to look at it this way because it’s basically I’ve seen the pattern is like most of the [ __ ] they blame everybody else for is deflection is also the best offense is a the best defense is an offense is what they think. We’re going to get out ahead of this by blaming the the left wing and we’ll confuse our base into thinking that what we’re what they’re doing is what we’re actually doing. Oh, they’re he’s going to raise taxes on you. No, no, no. Biden’s not going to raise taxes on you. Harris is not going to raise taxes on you. He is gonna raise taxes on you. Whatever he says the other side’s gonna do, he’s gonna do it. That’s it right there. Boom goes the dynamite. Cream saying we have to appreciate Bamb Bam Bigalow. There’s something about a 250lb man who does perfect cartwheels in a leotar that’s intriguing. Scott Bigalow is a good one. Yeah, in some ways he’s a wrestler that was absolutely a fantastic person behind the scenes. Yeah, he really was. You know what about Bamboo that you may not have known? That man ran into a burning house and saved a bunch of people. He didn’t have to do that. He had the flames on his head, on his tattoo, right? He’s a hero. He went into a house where children were and saved them. Ran into the house and pulled them out of that house in a burning building. He’s a true hero. Scott Bigalow was one of the most agile men to ever wrestle. And you’re right, a man that could do a cartwheel with is over 300 lb and 6’6. That’s pretty impressive. That’s pretty impressive. He’s a badass, man. Bigow’s like right right there. Yeah, you didn’t know that. See, I can give you the straight goods on any wrestler. You want know where they’re at with what was going on? Well, Scott Bigalow, Bam Bam Bigalow was a big teddy bear. He’s a huge great person. You will, you know, Bam Bam Big Bigalow, I think they did do a dark side of the ring on him, but it was more about like his problems with painkillers and stuff like that. But he was a big teddy bear at heart and he was a real family man. He was good for his his family and he he was just a good person, guys. Just so you know, I will tell you about the good ones.

Slim Duck is posted uh Hulk Hogan passing on his Instagram. Chris Buchet, a big wrestling fan. So, he’s recognizing the passing of Hulk Hogan. And here he is at the OBO Center putting up hoops and shooting shots. And there’s the Noah system behind him. And I’m pretty sure this is from yesterday. So, I don’t know what to make of this. Like, Chris is in a free agency period where he’s in limbo. Maybe he is going to be back because honestly, he’s not left Toronto. He’s continuing to wear the Raptors gear and he is still working at OVO Center even if unofficially he’s not totally under contract with the Raptors right now.

Why is he wearing Raptors gear still? And why is he still around OBO? Is he going to be on the Raptors this year? Is there a way that we figure this out?

The the paper brands that you might buy here are Quilted Northern. Don’t buy Quilted Northern Ultra Plush. That is uh one of the worst ones you could buy. Deli, I don’t even know. That one’s from Mexico, though. So, in some ways it’s kind of like Cottonell. Don’t buy Cottonell and Scott. Those are the worst ones right there. You could buy Metro. Metro is kind of a is Canadian, but it’s not as good as these other ones. White Swan, Cashmere, and Royale. Those are like some of the best ones. White Swan, White Cloud, uh Purex, Cashmere, Royale, velour. Those are the best Canadian toilet papers to buy. Yeah. American brands, you know, you can cottonell and uh Northern Quilted. Nah, none of those. No, you don’t want those. Uh Melbour is here. Good to see the Knicks freak back in the house. Our resident New York fan that comes in and says hi to us sometimes. Good morning, Lex. How’s Friday and the week been? It’s been, you know, I I feel like the United States is burning down. I’m going to say this once again. Milbtor, you need to vote for Zoron. He’s not socialist. Socialism is good. Socialism means your tax money gets spent on the citizens and doesn’t go in the greedy ass 1% billionaire oligarch’s pockets. So when you hear the word socialism, it’s not a bad thing. Socialism is your police force, your fire department, your health care, your streets. It socialism is the public works. And when you go against socialism, you’re going against your own self. Seriously, Mobster, your best interests are socialist. You like to have healthcare, right? You like to have good roads. You like to have fire department. Well, that’s socialism. So, don’t fall for [ __ ] and thinking socialism is bad or woke is bad. No, they’re lying to you, Mobster. So, realize you need Mandini because honestly, he’s the best choice for your city. And a lot of billionaires are paying a lot of money to shape your brain to be against him. You want to go ahead and go with the billionaires and kiss their ass, Milbester. Well, you’re a sellout then. So, go with the people. And understand the word socialism is not a bad thing. Socialism is what society needs to run properly. If you don’t have any socialism, well, you might as well just be a surf in the [ __ ] field like medieval times for a king named Donald, you know? Seriously, Mobster. So, I want to educate you. Seriously, I’m gonna use you as a pet project. Don’t believe the [ __ ] Socialism is not a bad word. And socialism is public works, public health care, public education. You want education for children. Do you want health care for people? Do you want a police force? Do you want a fire department? Well, that’s socialism. So, don’t let big boogie words by billionaires infiltrate your head and and taint your your mind. Zoron’s the best choice because he’s not bought by the billionaires and they paid a lot of money to shape you to think that he’s not good for you. Don’t be stupid, Milbster. You’re smarter than that. And understand the billionaires can’t buy you off is what I’m saying right there. Yeah. Yeah. He’s saying, “How’s summer league with the Raptors?” Well, it’s way over, man. Didn’t you come in and ask us about this? We got like uh we were one of the top four teams at summer league. We got to the semifinals and we lost the Kings, but we were one of the four best teams out of the 30 at summer league. So, very successful summer league. 4-1 record for the Raptors. That’s right. I haven’t even watched the Knicks play in summer league. Been watching MLB season. We passed All-Star break in the second half. Yeah. And the Blue Jays are beating the Yankees ass. Kicking the Yankees ass all year long. Woo. Beating the [ __ ] out of the pinstripes left and right. You coming up the Toronto and the Rogers Center. Yankees, you’re getting your ass kicked is what’s happening. Vlad Guerrero Jr. Blue Jays. Number one in the American League. Yeah, that’s right. No Ber K stand. Hey, I’m number one with the crown. Hey Reggie, if you want the status, it’s going to cost you 10 bucks. There you go. Kareem’s the top fan right now. Number one top fan. I don’t even know how that works, actually. I don’t even know. Milves are saying, “Lex, your Blue Jays have been playing well for two months.” I know. hottest team and they beat the Yankees two series in a row this month. Trade deadline next week. Expect the Jays to make moves to build a playoff team. I hope so. I’d like to see them go deep and do really, really well. Really, really, really well. That’s right. No Ber uh Seymour saying, “Solute the Bluegrass State.” Okay. Kentucky, uh the place where Manny Quickley went to college. Sure, we can salute the Bluegrass State and my my good friend Bryce Lawson. That’s right. November saying they beat the best team in the AL, the Tigers. should be excited for potential October in Rogers Center. It would be electric. I know Jay’s fans have been a lot through a lot, but you guys got a good team. Yeah, that’s what I’m hearing. I’m very optimistic about it. Of course, you know, Jays fans may get jaded and be like, “Yeah, we’re having a great regular season, but it’ll fall apart before then.” No, I don’t want that. No, no, no, no. Blue Jays fans, keep your head up high and keep striving for success and aim for the top. You guys can get there. Just do it. Just do it. Stop planning your own demise and shaky shaky energy will get you there. Seriously, Blue Jays fans, be confident in your team. That’s what I say right now. That’s right. That’s right. Uh Milbers is uh all wait. Let’s see. Um Kareem saying, “Milbester, I only wish that the Jays got this hot in September.” We’ll have to see. It’s still coming. You’re number two now. Milbester saying, “Trade deadline is next week, but a team did a trade last night. It’s always ends a week earlier. Expect the Jays and all teams contending from Yeah. All right. I don’t want to talk too much baseball. My buster, I know you’re excited about baseball, but we ain’t doing this. Uh Hulk Hogan was the Babe Ruth of wrestling, and he embraced people saying that. I mean, was Babe Ruth the person that made baseball what it is? I don’t know if that’s totally I mean, I would say that Babe Ruth isn’t even the right person for Hulk Hogan. Hulk Hogan’s bigger than Babe Ruth for wrest uh baseball. It’s just different, man. It’s different. Koy saying, “Goddamn, Blue Jays going all the way this year. Book it.” That’s right, Koy. That’s right. I’m going to give you another dunk. Clo’s collecting some dunks right here. That’s the positive attitude I like to hear. 70 on the dunk charts for Carlo JS. Say hi to Santino. Uh let’s see. Um Fiery saying, “Is there still a rivalry between the Mets and the Yankees? People barely mention the Mets. It’s just a Subway series. It’s like bragging rights for the city, but they’re not in the same division or league. So, in some ways, it’s kind of uh faulty. If they get in the World Series against each other, woo, that’d be something else. Yankees versus Mets in the World Series. But yeah, it’s just a rivalry of the city, the Subway Series and it’s who’s the bragging rights who’s the better New York team at that moment. It’s not really I mean I guess it’s a city rivalry on the down low. It’s kind of what it is. Kind of what it is. That’s right. You stopped following baseball a long time ago. Glad the Jays are doing well. Yeah. I I mean Fery’s like me. We’re so focused on basketball. I mean, between watching the Raptors, the Keeping Up with the 905, going to CBL games, her daughter’s basketball career, she’s got basketball, basketball, basketball on the mind. That’s right. That’s it. That’s it. That’s your sec. Uh, let’s see. Uh, Seymour saying that’s my second team. I candy. There you go. Ah, okay. Uh, right now I’m just typing so that I can keep the number one. Oh, I see. You’re just typing comment. Damn, how y’all jump me? Oh, Seymour got it back. This ranking system is bonkers. Like yonkers. Okay, claiming the spot back, Seymour. Shoot, I’m number two. I don’t know how you guys are going to do this. You know, they would say if you want the number one spot, you need to spend money. But best stand fiercely. Of course, the Yankees and Mets are rivals. I mean, in some ways, I mean, it’s kind of how you discern what type of New Yorker you are. Sometimes it’s more system uh indicative of the burrow you’re from, you know, like certain burrows are Mets, certain burrows are Yankees. I think it’s the Bronx is Yankees. in Long Island’s more the Mets, right? Certain parts of New York will be more that way. You know, it’s the same thing with their their football teams. Some people are Giants, some people are Jets, you know, some people are Knicks, some people are Nets, you know, it’s it’s just like that around that city. It’s kind of like that. That’s what it is right there. Yeah. Yeah. Queens versus the Bronx. Queens. Queens. Yeah. There you go. There you go. Thumbs up. Seymour and Fiery Battle is sexist. Who’s gonna be number one right now? Seymour is number one right now on there. All right. Let’s see what Raptors Reddit’s talking about this morning. You know, some people were upset about Brett uh uh about Hulk Hogan being on the Raptors thing, and they made a big stink out of it on Reddit, too. And uh well, they wanted a pallet cleanser, so they put the Bret Hart uh in the Raptors 19 jersey with the championship belt uh after our championship. And they wanted a pallet cleanser for the Hulk Hogan, terribly thoughtout social media tribute to Hulk Hogan by the Raptors. They said, “Put Bret Hart up instead. Put Bret Hart.” Now, dogooder of Raptors uh Twitter, Chris Walder, Raptors Nation, uh very very woke gentleman and in some ways I respect the guy and he’s holds on his convictions. Maybe a little too overreaching. He’s saying reading the room isn’t that difficult. I’m glad they did. They took down they deleted the post on X on uh Twitter, but they did it on on uh Facebook. It’s still up. It’s still up. So, yeah, that’s what’s up. There’s a a highlight reel of Brandon Ingram that got posted yesterday, which is pretty awesome, honestly. I’m not going to lie, you going to watch some Brandon Ingram highlights to get excited for the season coming up. Y’all, this guy is on another level. And in some ways, I’m excited to see what he can do for our team, much like Leonard and Carter did for our team in the past. That’s right. Also, yesterday, official Raptors and men dropped uh a 20minute clip of the game one of the finals 2019 against the Warriors where Seakum scored a huge amount. is a game I was in uh attendance at in the arena for the first ever finals game uh outside of US borders uh in Canada when the Raptors beat the Warriors in game one of the 2019 finals. That’s a fantastic clip. I love watching these raw unedited kind of well they are edited but they’re they’re huge chunks of the game and I forget and the other thing I realized watching that uh clip that Raptors at men posted yesterday for game one of the finals of the 2019 finals is that I was in the crowd and I watched the game from the stands up above and I didn’t really watch the game on TV very much. So, it was interesting for me to watch those highlights so many years later uh because I was seeing the perspective of that game in particular that I didn’t actually ever see because I took the game in in person from the upper deck. So, it was kind of cool to see the highlights. I love that y’all are doing this. You guys are doing a badass job. Uh Raptors official admin posting the highlight games like the Terren Ross 51 game. Uh you know, different things like Seakum’s game in Madison Square Garden. These posts have been so awesome and I appreciate you guys for doing them. Seriously, they’ve been very, very cool. Very, very, very, very cool. All right, let’s see. FY wants the classic card. Uh, let’s see. Also, anyways, go Raptors. Uh, Milbtor saying both teams got to the LCS last year. Both teams got a lot of money. Top market teams. They always compete and spend. Yeah, that’s why MLB sucks is because you can pay to win. You know, video games where you pay to win are shitty. In some ways, you should just go on your skills and your merit. That’s why I like the NBA. It’s more parody and you can’t pay to win like you can in the MLB. That’s why I’ve never liked baseball as much is because I noticed all through the history that I’ve watched that the Yankees were paying to be at the top over and over again. So I I I don’t have much respect for Major League Baseball because of that. Their salary cap systems [ __ ] And being able to pay to win is is and to me it’s a flaw in the whole thing. It’s a flaw. You think it’s a good thing, Milbster? I don’t I don’t I don’t uh Fiercy is being Trevor Jay today. Yeah, because he’s on West Coast time still and he’s working so he can’t be here the whole time. He can’t be here the whole time. Yeah. Yeah. Uh Seymour’s saying camping this weekend and not doing the road trip south to Rushmore. Have an awesome weekend rapper streaks. Yeah, good. Don’t cross the border. Nobody needs to be going to the United States from anywhere else in the world. Seriously, I hope that much like Canadians, most people around the world are boycotting travel to the United States. Seriously, that’s what you do in some ways when you don’t uh agree with the crumbling of democracy within a country. And that’s what’s happening right now. That country is going into fascist dictatorship. And it’s sad to see from the outside. And you know, I don’t know if people inside it understand just how quickly things are changing towards this in a very very bad way. So y’all need to take the power back. Go listen to Rage Against the Machine and listen to that first album that they put out. You need to get inspired by that. Trust me. Yeah. Take the power back, people of America. Please. From fascist MAGA, right away. Please, please, please, please do it. Please, please, please. Uh, Melbour saying, “Lex, the best moment I saw from Hulk Hogan was the match versus The Rock in Rogers Center for Wrestlemania 18.” Yeah, I was at that match. You know, Lex has been at some historic things like game one of the finals 2019 and also Skydome on March the 17th, 2002. Yeah, that was an amazing match. They uh interviewed Chris Jericho recently saying that him and Triple H should have never been on after them. Like just because that was the heavyweight title match, it was stupid. That should have never been on after Hogan versus The Rock. It was a big mistake in the card. Triple H was saying, “No, we need to be going after because we’re the heavyweight.” But Jericho was not want for that. He was telling them backstage. He said, “I don’t want to go on after Hogan and The Rock. It’s not going to be right. Trust me.” And he was right. Jericho was right. And Triple H was wrong. Triple H and his ego saying, “No, I want to win the championship from Chris Jericho in on the top of the card. Nobody cared about that after Hogan versus Rock. That that was a really big match up there. Really really big matchup. It was really amazing. Master. Yeah. Blackhawk saying sleep with the stars over your head. more and enjoy the wolves howling at your camping trip. There you go, city slicker. Just hope Jack Palance is at the campfire. He can tell you some uh ghost stories. Yeah, you know, in his Ripleys Believe It or Not Boys. Yeah, City Slicker. Jack Palance is awesome. And you guys remember the old Ripleys Believe It or Not show? Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Yeah, he was crazy. He was creepy. Just like get those creepy old uh 80s TV show hosts like Robert Stack and Jack Pants in a room and just have them talk to each other. A missing woman in this place. Jack like uh uh uh Robert Stack looked like an owl and he was scary looking man. His his like it was the music and the way he kind of walked in and his face was down like this and he’d be like kind of like and he Oh man, Unsolved Mysteries was scary. All right, let’s keep going. Seymour saying, “Laugh out loud.” Yo, I’m from Scar Bro. Only reason I’m going going is because we bring the strap. We’re bringing the strap. What do you mean? I have fears of sleeping outside. It reminds me of being homeless and I ain’t never been. Thank God. Okay, that’s interesting. Okay, so you’re bringing a gun just in case the dingo ate your baby. Like if there’s a coyote or a bear or something or you worry about crime. I don’t know what’s going on here. Why you got to bring the gun with you to nature? You don’t need to do that. If there’s a bear, just get big and scare it off. That’s the best way to deal with them. Yeah. Yeah. Let’s see. Milbester is saying, “But Lex, there’s a new CBA next year, so we could get a salary floor, but not a cap. MLB players union and players wouldn’t want a cap. We saw a 1994 strike and that was the reason. Players over owners.” It’s still not a good system. I’m just saying it’s not a good system. In some ways, revenue sharing should go and grow with it, but the the team should not be able to just spin out the wazu and outspend each other. It’s horrible for small markets. It’s horrible for teams that can’t spend like the Yankees. And that’s why I I hate the system of the MLB. I don’t care if the the players want that. They’re selfish in some ways. They’re going to want what they want, but it’s not good for the fans is what I’m saying. Maybe good for the players, but it’s not good for the fans as far as I’m concerned. That’s the thing. The the issue in the MLB is revenue sharing. Small market teams don’t get ads as much as big market teams, especially in TV revenue, but they’ll figure it out. I agree that it sucks for unbalanced competition. Yeah, why even be a fan of a small market team that’s not even going to have a chance? Those teams should just fold and go away in that system. That’s what it is right there. See saying mountain lions and [ __ ] out here. Okay, I could see that mountain line. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you might need that. You know what’s weird? I came out this morning to come and do my show in the studio and the door of my studio was just open. I’m like, what the hell? I was like, how long was this door open? Were any animals coming into my studio while I was sleeping or something like that? I don’t know. I’ll never know. But it seems like everything’s all right in here. But it was weird. Like the door could have been open all night and I wouldn’t even known it. It’s kind of strange. Yeah, there was a lot of wind last night. I think it blew the door open. Maybe a bear came in here. Bears, bro, you’re not food, bro. Yeah, don’t worry about it. You’re not food. Most animals in this world aren’t after us. You know, the animals that could kill us, they make them way more scary than they are. You know, in some ways, bears will go away from you. They don’t want to come near you. They smell you, they will go the other way. If they detect you, they will go the other way. It’s only when you get surprised by them where there could be issues. And that’s like you taking a hike and walk around a corner and there’s a a bear with its cups and then you might be like, “Oh, sorry. I’ll back off here.” But most of them ain’t coming near you. Alligators, same thing. People say act like alligators are aggressive. No, they’re not. Crocodiles are, but alligators aren’t. And a lot of animals in today’s world, they’re so subjugated by human humanity and our awful progress and degregating their natural environment that they’re humble and they’re trying to just get out of our way. Bees aren’t trying to sting us. They’re just trying to survive. And bears are the same, too. You know, the the women saying they’d rather be somewhere in wilderness with a bear than a a man. Yeah. Yeah, that’s true. Because the bear’s less likely to [ __ ] with you. Seriously, you’d be shocked how little a bear would [ __ ] with you if you saw one in real life. Seriously, they ain’t going to come after you unless you’re threatening their little ones. Uh they won’t come even after you if they’re hungry because honestly, you’re not a good meal for them. Seriously, you’re not a good meal. Yeah. Cougars, wolves. Oh, trust me. I’m good. He I believe in the right for people to protect themselves and per personal protection with a gun is fine. I’m not against uh guns like people having guns to protect themselves. If they feel like they’re going to be in a dangerous position, bring the gun. Okay. Strap yourself good. That’s right. That’s right. Milbester saying, “I would be shocked if we get a lockout.” Yeah, I don’t know. Milbester, once again, you’re bringing an MLB way too much on my stream. We’re talking wrestling today a bit because Hulk Hogan passed away. And that’s it. That’s it. We’re not We’re not doing all this other stuff, guys. Come on now. Come on now. All right, let’s see. Um, what else do I have? All right. Is her birthday today? Yes, there is. Happy birthday to original raptor Tracy Murray, guys. Our three-point specialist from the first year. Tracy Murray is turning 54 today, guys. Happy 54th birthday. Of course, Tracy Murray returned to Toronto this year and got a picture with superfan Monique Lawrence as one of the alumni during our 30th anniversary season. Happy birthday, Tracy Murray. uh a fantastic three-point shooter in the history of the NBA and early uh you know what the Raptors saved his career. We did. We saved his career and he got more money and stayed in the NBA because he came to Toronto and the Raptors expansion team and it’s all documented in the Alex Wong book. Yeah, they came out prehistoric and that’s fantastic stuff. So, good stuff. Happy birthday, Tracy Murray. Happy 54th birthday. There you go. Boom goes the dynamite. That’s right. Yeah. Tracy Murray, happy birthday. That’s right. We love Tracy Murray. Early Raptor Tracy Murray. All right, let’s see what else we got. Um, let’s go ahead and do the classic guard. All right, let’s see what I get. No, I don’t want to do that. I’ll No, I don’t want to do that. No. No. I’m being kind of picky. All right, we’ll do this one. Milvester’s here. We’ll see if Milbster can get this one. Mobster, let’s see how good you know your team, my guy. Here we go. Full name answer, please. Full name answer. Do not give me half this person’s name. Give me the full name answer on this original skybox card with the purple and orange going up in the air. Who is this famous New York Knick? This is a This is actually a well-known Nick. So, if you can give me the full name answer of this Knicks player, uh, you get the classic card points. Alec Burks. That’s way too recent. That is Trent Tucker. That’s exactly right. Smooth Brown man knows that is Trent Tucker. A very famous Nick for scoring some points really, really fast in a game. Yeah, Trent Tucker is kind of a New York Knicks legend. Milbester, do you know who this guy is? Because I’m testing you on whether you are a true Knicks fan. Yeah. Do you know who this is? Trent Tucker. Trent Tucker is one of those guys that uh scored a lot of points in a very fast time. I think it was like he scored like 10 points in like four seconds once or something like that. It’s really crazy. I’m going to give a smooth uh 100 points for the classic card today. This is not super hard. Not super hard, but yeah, Trent Tucker is the classic card of the day. It’s kind of fitting with November here, but Smooth. Yeah, you’re gonna get a 100 for this one. I see that Fierce is at top of our Raptor Freaks trivia standings and Smooth is right behind her right now. There you go. You’re gonna say Kemba, but the jersey looked old. Yeah, this is 1990. So, Alec Burke, uh, Kemell Walker, way, way before him. Way, way before those guys. That’s right. That’s right. All right, y’all. Let’s wrap up the stream today. A little bit early, 15 minutes early. The passing of Terry Balia yesterday is uh is of note. Yes, in some ways, a lot of people were putting out uh honoring him and tributes and his passing on social media places, including our team, the Toronto Raptors. Well, in some ways, Terry Bye is a problematic person. And uh, you know, some people can honor him and remember him as Hulk Hogan, and that’s what I choose to do in some ways, but also remember the the human being, the real person that played Hulk Hogan was flawed, and he was a racist, and he was also MAGA, and that’s reprehensible. It’s might as well say, Hulk Hogan, you were a Nazi, bro. Seriously, that’s his legacy in the end when it all comes down in the end about MAGA America. Hulk Hogan’s uh spotlight in the middle of it at the RNC uh convention. It’s going to be remembered and he’ll be tainted forever. It’s going to be like he’s going to be in a group with Hitler in like a hundred years from now, guys. People will look at Hulk Hogan as being a sellout like a Nazi and like Hitler and those other people. And that’s just sad because he didn’t have to go that route and go this way. Now that that magi is trying to rewrite history so that they’re the good guys and that they make it out that they what they did was right and all this stuff. They’re trying to do that with lies. We cannot let them win to get the history written in their side of things because that will [ __ ] this world up in all kinds of weird ways. Just trust me. So we need to be voices of truth and call them on their [ __ ] MAGA America equals Nazi Germany. That’s just the damn truth at this point. And if you think I’m overstating that or I’m crazy, nope. This has been true the whole time and it’s going worse and worse, slipping into fascism. Sadly, Hulk Hogan is a character that is tainted by Terry Balia. And that’s sad. That’s sad. It didn’t have to be that way. So, I’ll compare compartmentalize them. I’ll put Terry Balia and his racist ass over here. And I’ll put Hulk Hogan, the image, and the character over here. and idolize that character for what he was. But remember everybody, Terry Bolia was way more like Hollywood Hulk Hogan than Hulk Hogan him uh the Hulkster. No, he was more like the nWo version of the evil bad person. That was more him being himself. Let’s just put it that way. And being Hulk Hogan, eat your prayers and say your vitamins. That was more unnatural for him than the Hollywood Hogan character. Just so y’all know. Mo here. Good morning. Good afternoon, Raptor Freak crew. It’s not afternoon yet. It’s still morning, but good to see you, Mo. I’m gonna leave right now, though. Yeah, too many passing in a week. Yeah, in some ways, this is just how it goes. It’s like they say there’s celebrity deaths in threes. Well, they had Chuck Manion die yesterday, too. I don’t know. In some ways, just people die. That’s just what happens. And well, the MAGA world doesn’t care if people die. They want people to die. Whether it’s changing climate change regulations, whether it’s hurting health care costs and making it harder for people to have health care, there’s all kinds of ways they want people to die. They want to starve people in Africa because they’re not sending the aid all of a sudden again. There’s all kinds of ways they want people to die. Whether it’s the people of Palestine, whe it’s so many people that MAGA and the Republicans and the right-wing and the uh progressive conservatives of this country, they want people to die at this point. They don’t give a [ __ ] about humanity. They they call themselves prolifers, but they should be pro-deathers because they’re all about making uh government more conducive for people to die and that’s it. And Hulk Hogan in a way is a symbol of this. the American health care system. A man who has all the money in the world, but you can’t cheat jet death. You can’t beat death. Death’s going to get you. All of y’all, all y’all evil MAGA [ __ ] are going to be got at some point. And that Hulk Hogan death yesterday, well, that proves it right there. That man does not leave with everything that he had on this earth. He just goes in spirit away. And who knows where he goes. I don’t want to believe whatever. I don’t believe in heaven or hell. In some ways, I just believe you’re organic body and you just die. In some ways, you know, some people are saying Hulk Hogan went to heaven. I don’t know if that’s true. I don’t know if that’s true. If you believe in heaven and hell, I don’t know if that’s true exactly. Yeah. Miler saying Trent Tucker was late 80s, early 90s. He was before I was born in 94. Yeah. Yeah. I’m just saying if you know your Nick’s history, I know NBA history since 1946. Doesn’t matter if I was born in 75. Milster, you should know your history. Do you know about Earl Monroe? Do you know about Willis Reed? Do you know about Dave De Basher? Yeah, if you’re gonna be the Knicks freak, you better know all that stuff. That’s right. Your team’s been in the league since the very beginning. So, you better go back and do your research, man. So, you understand it. But vote for Zoron. That’s what I say first. Yeah. Mo saying, “Yeah, too many people passing this week.” All right, y’all. Thanks for watching me tomorrow. Share the love club. Jamal shed 8:30 a.m. I’ll be back for that.
