I tell all grad students to dress the part. So if I had a grad student who wore Chuck Taylors to class? I would tell them to turn around and leave. That’s completely inappropriate, in my opinion.
To commemorate the end of Hulkamania, here's @GovJVentura on Hulk Hogan helping Vince McMahon bust union organizing in the WWE.
My son and I will be at WWE Friday Night SmackDown in Cleveland tomorrow night. It will no doubt be filled with Hulk Hogan tributes. However, my son said he wants to start an IR👏🏻 ON👏🏻 SHEIK 👏🏻 chant. Thoughts?
It’s often said that the bonds formed through mentorship are stronger than those of brothers. It’s a shame the Hulkster never got to truly experience that in his lifetime. RIP🕊️
No, Hulk Hogan would not, not with regards to sociology, He would need to sit and calmly listen to my lectures. If he was to raise his hand politely and I was to call on him, then he could speak to us about his experiences, sure.
Are you joking he interacted with more people than you ever will I'm sure he'd be teaching you
Yep. It happens. I was on set for Halloween Kills for two days. You can see me in the trailer with Jamie Lee Curtis, but then only for 2 seconds in the feature-length film.
Nikki Bella says a majority of her ‘Happy Gilmore 2’ scenes were cut She discovered this while she was watching the premiere
I feel like if Hulk Hogan had the chance to take my Intro to Sociology course that it would have changed him. Even at 70, he could have learned a lot and surely contributed to class discussion. Somewhat of a missed opportunity, but I’m grateful to have the students I do.
If I had Hulk Hogan as a student, I just feel like I could have helped the guy.
What a way to make Hulks death ABOUT YOU!
In Hulk’s “later years,” he created a beer brand and traveled the country getting drunk, making racist statements, and hitting people in the head with cans of his beer at promotional events and then getting sued for it. But ok.
Hulk turned his life around and found God in the later years in his life. I’m sure He forgave Hulk for his mistakes, why can’t you?
I did and it changed my life. He taught it to about 60k people at Browns Stadium last year during Summer Slam. CM Punk even showed up
Hey I wrote this here article a couple years back about labor abuses in the WWE and how Hulk Hogan crushed the one serious attempt to unionize pro wrestlers
Despite WWE wrestlers putting their bodies on the line and lacking basic control over their work and lives, Ventura's was the last serious attempt at unionizing the multibillion dollar company. jacobin.com/2022/10/wwe-vi…
Gonna need this.

I have a new essay in Jacobin, arguing that homelessness is at odds with the ideal of a democratic society. I'll take this opportunity to mention that I'm writing a book for Oxford UP elaborating on the ideas in this piece. It will be a trade book, meant for a popular audience.
Homelessness is often thought of either as an issue of individual moral failings or merely of bad policy. It should instead be seen as a moral crisis for our democracy, one that demands transformative economic reforms. jacobin.com/2025/07/homele…
