“Mayor Rob Ford, always eager for a political brawl, is pumped to arm-wrestle legendary grappler Hulk Hogan. “Ohhh yeahhhh!” Mayor Rob Ford, mimicking a wrestling battle cry, told reporters when asked about the Friday 10 a.m. “friendly” bout at the Intercontinental Hotel ahead of Hogan’s appearance at Fan Expo Canada. “It’s the first time the Hulkster’s in Toronto, from what I understand,” the mayor said. “I want to thank him for coming. This Fan Expo is going to be amazing. “I don’t know if I’m going to win the arm wrestle, but we’ll see. I haven’t lifted too many weights lately. We’ll see what happens. “My brother’s a real Hulkster fan. He used to sit always in the mirror and do one of these,” the mayor said of Councillor Doug Ford, demonstrating a muscle-flexing pose. “He was always a bit bigger than I was. “I’m really glad that (Hogan) is coming here, it’s going to bring a lot of excitement.” – The Star

The arm wrestling match is a secondary story as far as I’m concerned. So Rob Ford is the same guy who got caught smoking crack and is basically a delinquent version of Boston mayor Thomas Menino. He’s always falling down or doing drugs or profusely sweating for no reason, basically everything but being the mayor of A MAJOR CITY.

I’m willing to let everything he’s ever done slide, because hey, people make mistakes, What I am not willing to let slide is what he is quoted as saying in this article. “It’s the first time the Hulkster’s in Toronto, from what I understand.”

Really? So this isn’t him at Wrestlemania VI, which was held at the Skydome in Toronto:

What about 11 years later. This isn’t him beating the shit out of the Rock at the same exact venue in Toronto?

Look Rob, if you want to be a sweaty mess and snap your ankle after a weigh in or fall down trying to throw a pass do it on your own time. Don’t diss an American icon. I hope he rips your arm clean out of the socket
