Popping Culture with Hulk Hogan: ‘If I was a homosexual, I would embrace it.’

It’s amazing the trajectory that a celebrity’s life can take.

Hulk Hogan, who is known to those over 30 for his over-the-top performances in the World Wrestling Federation, is known to those under 30 as the father of Brooke Hogan and for his former reality-TV show. Personally, I remember when Hogan was making music videos and movies and even shilled breakfast cereal.

But Hogan is in the news right now because of accusations by his ex-wife that Hogan and his former wrestling compatriot, Brutus Beefcake, had sex.

Hogan has been quoted as saying, “After the four-year crazy divorce I thought I’d heard everything I

could hear in the courtroom . . . She told everybody that I was a
homosexual . . . If any of that was true, I would admit it, and [if] I was
a homosexual I would embrace it.”

I think a lot of “homosexuals” would embrace it as well.

A little nostalgia, if you will allow . . .
