Muscles, Swagger and Politics: The Cultural Impact of Hulk Hogan w/ Jason Myles (G&R 406)

Hulk Hogan died recently. He's been denounced by some, praised by others. On his impact on the sport, pro wrestling historian Brian Soloman remarked on his passing "Wrestling history is divided in two parts: Before Hulk Hogan, and after Hulk Hogan…He was larger than life, inspired millions of people, many of whom spent decades being gradually let down by him.” But, also, some contend, his influence on our current cultural and political moment is significant as well. Generations are influenced by his muscles and swagger, he introduced Trump at last year's Republican National Convention and his personal political actions are also worth noting. In our latest, we talk with our friend and comrade, and host of This is Revolution, Jason Myles about Hogan's importance.Bio//Jason Myles is a writer, musician and co-host of This is Revolution Podcast. ------------------------------------------Outro- Green and Red Blues by Moody🔗 Links//🌐 This is Revolution: https://www.thisisrevolutionpodcast.com/✊ G&R:“Kayfabe:” The Politics of Trump and Pro Wrestling w/ This is Revolution’s Jason Myles (https://bit.ly/4jMeDDm)📢 Kayfabe on Means TV (https://bit.ly/4jRgeru) 🎙️ Follow Green and Red🔗 Linktree: https://linktr.ee/greenandredpodcast🌐 Website: https://greenandredpodcast.org💬 Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/M24GyqrS📰 Follow us on Substack: https://greenandredpodcast.substack.com🌌 Follow us on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/podcastgreenred.bsky.social💚 Support the Green and Red Podcast🎉 Become a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/greenredpodcast☕ One-time donation: https://bit.ly/DonateGandR🌍 Our Networks🎧 Labor Podcast Network: https://www.laborradionetwork.org📢 Anti-Capitalist Podcast Network: https://linktr.ee/anticapitalistpodcastnetwork📻 Listen on WAMF (90.3 FM) New Orleans: https://wamf.org✊ Unions Power America Sweepstakes: unionpowerusa.com🎬 A Green and Red Podcast production👨‍🏫 Produced by Bob (@bobbuzzanco) and Scott (@sparki1969)✂️ Edited by Scott🔔 Subscribe for more analysis on U.S. politics, leftist strategy, and anti-establishment resistance.
