News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Dang everyone hating on him and for good reason, but still a little sad from just how much he was a part of my childhood
Yeah, Hulk Hogan is a great “never meet your heroes” test case. The dude was a huge part of many kids’ formative years, but was actually a massive piece of shit if anyone ever bothered to dig. But before the internet was widespread, digging wasn’t even really possible; all you had to go off of was the public persona that they presented, and whatever you were able to dig up via library research.
Yeah, unless you were subscribing to the Wrestling Observer or something, you wouldn't know what kind of a POS Hogan was IRL back in the day. When I first got online and discovered the nascent internet wrestling community back in the day, it was like the scales falling from my eyes.
You can be sad about the character. Remember Hulk died along time ago when you stopped watching and forgot all about wrestling.
Now you're seeing what you once knew and sad that it's officially gone. It's OK to be sad about that memory and character perishing.
It's also OK to say good riddance to a piece of shit human that was this fuck.
He died when i found out he's a big piece of shit.
he was shit-head since the gawker incident, and then wwe erased him from the annuls of wwe history him for like a few years, because of his racist incident. they shouldve kept him erased. thats probably the best gift wwe has down, lol. considering he also helped VINCE union bust too.
