Somebody really needs to have a talk with the comms department. Stuff like this makes our union look dumb as hell and it's EXTREMELY frustrating to watch.

It's weird that an union is celebrating a memeber that was responsible for killing a union for wrestlers in the 80s. Not a good look.
Is it the AI part, Hulk Hogan who busted the probability of wrestlers getting a union, or SAG posting a picture of a wrestler when wrestler can’t join SAG?….Or all three?
It's actually not AI (looks like it though) and, yes, wrestlers can join SAG-AFTRA. But, promoting this guy in particular...... 😬
Agreed. I'm cool with some Superstars joining acting unions. But in cases like this, a line has to be drawn.
Wait, can they join as wrestlers only without stunt work, tv shows, or movies? Cause that was my understanding, that they needed to do non-wrestling stuff to be in the guild.
Oh. Oh I understand now. Sorry, I think there was a misunderstanding before. I thought you were suggesting he couldn't join because he was a wrestler.
Oh no, I know there are wrestlers that are union, I was talking about like they can’t join in terms of wrestling only which is weird when they are on tv and some or most of the dialogue is scripted.
That IS pretty weird. I wonder why that's the case, actually. I'm sure there's SOME kind of reason for it, but if stuntpeople can join, surely wrestlers should be able to as well...
well there was work being done towards unionizing wrestlers as talent but boy let me surprise you here www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
Also, that is a really touched up picture of the hot dog man.
it’s extremely weird to do so to when the original photo would’ve worked too??
Yes. Oh and the fact he was a giant racist. Not just because he was MAGA. But because of that infamous rant. Fun fact, Hulk died on the 10 year anniversary of that video. Same day.
I was gonna say, this is one -hell- of a fumble on their part. >8U
Like Scargill going on strike during the spring fumble.
Hulk Hogan? Loving unions? Is there another Hulk Hogan in the world that they're confusing him with? Because pretty sure the one that died did a lot of union busting...
Ah yes, because when I think of unions, I think of the guy who did whatever he could to stop wrestlers from unionizing. Hogan was a shitty person in and outside of the ring, he shouldn’t be remembered as anything but a racist egotistical scumbag who ruined so many people’s lives.
Hulk was a POS human being. Dude got kicked out of the WWE hall of fame at one point for it.
All I’m gonna say, Macho Man and Bret Hart > Hulk Hogan
Ah yes, Hulk Hogan, who famously prevented wrestlers from unionizing.
TRASH.
I am genuinly surprised he was allowed anywhere near a union in the first place considering the stuff he pulled in the wwe
Known union lover Terry Bollea
Known union lover Hulk Hogan.
Whoever is in charge of y'alls socials and PR, I'm so sorry, jesus christ
Are they going to honour the contributions of Vince McMahon next? Maybe throw in something nice about Lee Iacocca?
Of course you know, Terry was a union scab and had he not gotten his way a lot of the boys from back then would probably still be alive.
like i get they wanna try not to segregate certain members/past members and honor someone who had a memorable career…but sometimes…you gotta read the room and this one…they could have just said nothing.
"We grieve for his family and friends" is all it needed. Even if you don't like him, they lost someone close. Yeah, that only goes so far too, but still.
This is embarrassing. He was as union as Amazon and Starbucks execs
Someone should tell that actors union that their social media person is praising a union buster.
Why are they celebrating a union buster!????
Grosssss.
Someone forgot to do their fucking homework, didn't they?
Even in death, that guy is a nuisance 🤦♂️
