The scenarios are scripted; the violence, pain, and injuries are not. They're high on steroids; they're crazed; their employers are corrupt; but they're also impressive athletes.

OOOOOH YEEEAAAH!! Whachoo gonna do when OBAMANIA runs wild on YOU?

I like to fuk monkeys.

That's it, the tide has turned. "What'cha gonna do when these pythons get 'round ya?"
The Hulkster is still amazingly relevant.
It's too goddamn much.
Obama/Hogan '08

Well, Rambo and Chuck aren't so tough anymore are they?

Without Rambo's weapons he is totally toast. Chuck may be good in martial arts but I think he can be sent to the hospital with a good body slam.

This is kinda surprising>I had figured the Hulkster to be a winger.He just kinda has that douchebag air about him.

His last name is Bollea is that even Irish?

"What'cha gonna do brother when Obamamania runs wild on you?"

I would pay for a t-shirt like that.

Cool as well cause we can settle this in the ring as a tag team match:

Obama & Hulk Hogan V. Huckabee & Ric Flair

What a country. If laughing helps, this comment thread has added 10 years to my life. I LUV it!

Trying to imagine a historian reading this 500 years from now.

ABC Reporter: Every Soldier I talked to is for Obama

http://www.digg.com/2008_us_elections/ABC_Every_Soldier_I_talked_to_is_for_Obama

. . . Though, in Hogan's defense, we remind you that wrestling is totally fixed--just like Presidential elections in America!

intelligent people dont give two shits which celebrities endorse who.

HULK HOGAN ENDORSES OBAMA!

I know we're having a grand 'ol time chucking about this... but, ladies and gentlemen... this is HUGE.

This comes from that part of the cultural atmosphere that produces flying saucers over O'Hare and all those haircuts and piercings on people that make you wonder: "Where in hell do THEY work?"

This cuts through to many of those who will never, ever hear of or care about Arianna, or the HuffPost or ANY of us.

These are people who are not familiar with our electoral system in any meaningful way whatsoever (sort of the way most of us are not familiar with Finland), but - because of this kind of complete weirdness - will go vote on election day FOR THE HELL OF IT!

This may be the only election season of their lives (how many times do you really need to tour Finland?)... BUT WHAT A TIME TO DO IT!!!

This is not Wayne for Reagan, or Norris for Huckabee... oh no... this is major, perfect "casting against type."

Who's next? Mr. T? Ilya Kuryakin? K.I.T.T?

The mind reels...

Huge.

For 30somethings, Hulk is one most memorable characters. He's the one that brought wrestling to prominence with the Wrestlemania series. Crazy stuff really.

Sadly, I'm afraid this type of endorsement probably has more of an impact (one way or the other) than most...
