      Most people in entertainment are shit. In fact, most people are shit. So, not really sure why folks choose to clutch their pearls when an entertainer (including wrestlers) says something they don’t like.

        Man, fuck off forever with this shit. I’m well aware that many people in entertainment have bad opinions, but I do have lines I won’t cross, and “But you gotta admit, modern gold-plated Hitler is really charismatic” is way the fuck over on the other side of the line. And HHH isn’t just a wrestler, he runs the goddamn company.

        Of course, I already wasn’t giving WWE money since 2018 when they passionately defended their relationship with a regime that tortured a journalist to death with a bone saw, so I’m sure they will continue to not miss me.

      Well my days of not taking etc etc. (Seriously I’ve used that quote like 11 times in the last week, shit…)

      Based on this I was expecting the quote to be horrible, but it’s not that bad, it’s something you would expect of these types. And it’s not completely wrong, somebody somewhere likes his charisma because he sure as shit is a cult leader.

      “I think Trump’s ability… like him or hate him the way he does it… but he’s charismatic in so many ways, and I think he likes getting under peoples skin, generating [heat]. It’s amazing and it’s genius, and it worked in our business — There’s a lot of billionaires in the world, why was he the most famous one, why was he the one that was in People Magazine every week and with everybody under the sun, why was he seen as the epitome of that billionaire status, because of his charisma and his character and who he is, and the way he can speak about it do and do all those things, he just captivates people.” (quote courtesy of @WrestleOps)

      I agree it’s shitty, but not shocking. WWE under Vince was heavily involved with Donald, Vince’s wife works for Donald destroying the US Education system, let alone the rest of the country, Triple H sat behind her during her senate hearing, Dana White has been his friend for years, Joe Rogan also a Trump friend, Ari Emmanuel long time Trump friend, WME has ties to JD Vance as they publish his book… I mean if you thought TKO was some kind of paragon of decent morals…

      “Come on Man” - Joseph R. Biden.

      Really, billionaires (including fake ones with ugly spray tans) and billion dollar companies are bastards.

      Edit: An addendum, Triple H is not “running the company,” he is their public face though and it’s fair game to target that public face for bullshit stuff like this.
