Hulk Hogan was close personal friends with someone that raped Andre the Giant's best friend. Also keyfabe got Andre needing to say the thing because that's how the business works. But also its easier to make your keyfabe hatred of someone believable when you actually factually hate that person. Which in this case Andre the Giant did
There was also the fact that Hogan ratted out the wrestlers attempts to unionise, leading directly to the terrible working conditions that persist to this day... All because he liked being paid the most.
There's a lot more to it, but these examples should begin to paint a picture of the kind of guy he is.
Fair enough. I wasn't including the unionization efforts because I thought that was after Andre's time, but it was a couple years before his retirement
Yeah - fair. As I said though, it all speaks to the kind of scumbag the guy is.
