The Undertaker. He was my favourite wrestler growing up and because he protected his character so well, he'd never give interviews or stories so when he retired, I was looking forward to him opening up a bit more. But yeah, I quickly realised that of course he had the political views of a mid-fifties white guy from Texas 😒 |

Arnold, growing up wanting to be jacked and seeing his self made story was canny inspiring thrn find out he let old rich blokes suck his tiddler for money and then with his “screw your freedom” speech I now think he’s a shitbag |

Yeah, a lot of wrestler's for me as well, particularly Hulk Hogan.
I grew up on WWF and WCW and adored so many of those characters, especially Hogan.
Obviously, you get a bit older and wiser and you realise things about folk, but when I found out first of all about his sex tape thing with his pal's wife that done behind his own wife's back, then the racist comments, and then seeing the pro-Trump, my heart just sank every time.
It makes total sense, knowing what I know about people like him, Vince McMahon, Triple H, etc, that they'd be pro-Trump Republicans, especially when you realise that so much of Trump's playbook for being in the press comes straight from the same sorta playbook wrestling promoters have been using for decades, but it never crossed my mind until I found out about it for each of them.
It was one of those things you hear that leaves you disappointed and surprised, but surprised that you didn't already realise.
Those people have really let my childhood down  |

"Rolf Harris when I was a kid, seemed friendly, he did animal hospital, made cool sounds etc
When it came out he was being done I was all naaahhh he’s obviously innocent…. Urrhhhgg"
I used to think Stuart Hall was great. Really funny match reports on Radio 2, then 5Live.
So disappointed that he turned out to be such a truly awful person
(Most of the other DJs of that era weren't great, even before they got found out) |

Prince Andrew.
I remember his service to his country in 1982 during the Falklands. He helped to save lives and put himself at risk every time he put his helicopter in front of Exocet missiles.
Can’t stand him now. |

"I enjoy watching Clarkson but certainly don't admire him though his redemption arc is impressive. His wife I do admire."
Agreed I can’t stand Clarkson he’s so unsexy x
What do women see in him? His millions? |

"For example…David Sullivan
Fucking hell, what do you admire him for? 
⚒️⚒️
Not for trying to coerce women into sex? Surely not!
He certainly fucked West Ham though😡"
Just be thankful he's gone, I knew something was coming the second Brady quit. Good riddance to both. ⚒️⚒️ |
