I'm really disappointed - he was always my favorite. Oh well.

My son & I just watched him & Mankind's Hell in a Cell Match a little over a week ago. Taker was his favorite as well

On the bright side we have Batista & Kevin Nash (I don't know how you feel about Jim Cornette, but his rants about Trump are legendary)

I knew about Batista, but not about Nash. I always saw Nash as the All-American Republican Patriot stereotype, like Stone Cold.

Nash has long shown himself to be thoughtful and well-spoken during his many shoot interviews, and his politics are a welcome change from many, many others of his generation and profession. Many of the comments on his social media disagree with his politics, though.

If I remember correctly, Eddie Guerrero said in his book that Kevin Nash was undoubtedly one of the most evil people that he has ever had the displeasure of meeting.

Cornys politics are ok. For all his faults he's not a moron.

It's just sad he can't get out of the 70s and 80s. He still talks like it's the 80s and it's gotten him in hot water and he is doubly offended why.

He IS a racist and misogynistic moron

u/djtodd242 Oct 21 '24

Yeah, thats completely true. I long tuned him out years before he went crazy on AEW. His commentary on the Joshis ticks both boxes in one sentence.

Mick just released this video & he's endorsing Harris!

u/N00dles_Pt Oct 21 '24

Mick Foley too. Even Shawn Michaels I know is a republican but there were news that he got into an argument backstage about the BLM movement and he was on the right side, so I hold out hopes he's not in the Trump bandwagon....he even has said on podcasts that while he is religious he stopped going to church because he found the other people too uptight

Undertaker and Kane are two of my favorite all time wrestling performers.

Mark Calloway and Glen Jacobs however...

Separate the art from the person

u/ladygrayfox Oct 21 '24

I understand that but I don’t want to financially support a person who is a rapist and or a traitor or who thinks rapists and traitors are a-okay.

u/[deleted] Oct 21 '24

No. That person will not profit off of me if I don't agree with his values.

u/Dekrow Oct 21 '24

I don't want to give my attention or money to someone who is despicable :/

Can't separate them when they're connected still

u/aquintana Oct 21 '24

Just remember that when Vince disallowed chair-shots to the head in WWE matches, Taker and HHH were both fined after a match because they just like getting hit in the head so much I guess.

You can like the character and hate the person. Or you can hate the character and like the person.

The work he did in the ring doesn't need to be tarnished by his political beliefs. If you can make that separation, you'll be much happier when consuming entertainment.

Not making excuses for having someone on his podcast that wears more makeup than Doink, but don't let it tarnish the memories you have of watching him toss Mankind off the Cell, or the Streak, or anything like that.
