This was a guy who made virulent anti gay speeches and was basically a bully.
While its ok to say RIP, I feel sorry for his family, but this wasn't a great guy.

I had no idea about the Make A Wish story. I felt like puking after I googled what it was.
That one story makes me so angry that he was my favourite wrestler as a kid.
I knew he was a right wing but job, but not only refusing to meet with a dying child who idolized him, but making the child and his family move so he wouldn't have to see them is just disgusting.
