@xtncord Vince McMahon & the ones on television burning the American flag & wishing our children to die with their blood running in the streets. We (I was 11) watched them screaming at the camera that they wanted us to die every night on the news & every day at school on Channel One. So, yeah...it is all propaganda. Or facts.

Oh, to heck with all y'all. This was symbolic. We all felt beat-down by Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. We needed this symbolism to rally behind the troops and it gave it to us. Slaughter burning the Hogan shirt "flag" was symbolic of the Arabs burning our flag. We hated seeing it and the liberal media said that we were losing & getting massacred. Hulk visited the troops & the situation there & saw something different. He was changed. He rallied us. Good job, Hulk.

Pro Wrestling does this, not necessarily Vince. Stereotypes run rampant throughout the industry, especially back in the pre-politically correct days. Mr. Fuji, Kamala, Kabuki, Killer Khan, The Sheik, The Iron Sheik, Nikolai Volkoff, Ivan Koloff, Lord Steven Regal, Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer, Outback Jack, The Bushwackers, The Mountie, Bad News Brown... The list goes on and on...

Leave it to Vince to peddle propoganda to turn young American minds against a flag, a nation and a people.
