Why all the respect?  Listen, the guy moved the needle when he was in his prime, and his name still had drawing power.  Your job as a wrestler is to move the needle - sell the drama.  He did that.  In that sense, I don't hate him for that

However, I lost respect for him when all the racist and politicking comments came out.  He said some pretty mean stuff and held pretty mean opinions, such as using multiple racial slurs, including the N-word, while discussing his daughter's dating life.  Racism and hatred are unacceptable.  I hate him for that.
