Okay, okay, okay...
I don't have a personal vendetta against Ryan Clark, Hulk Hogan, or Lars Ulrich, but it seems asinine to suggest Clark is "smearing" a TNA superstar to get headlines. This story, from the time it broke, sounded like Hulk Hogan overexaggerating the truth to inflate his own ego.
This story first came through music outlets. The initial claim is that Hogan was *this close* to getting brought into Metallica. Ulrich responds by saying, "Oh, really? If I offered it I don't remember."
Hogan had not achieved wrestling superstardom when this purportedly went down, nor had Metallica peaked in any way, but this probably would've been publicised several years ago were it a legit news story. Metallica fans pine for worthless information about their band. Hulkamaniacs dig relentlessly to make their icon seem more, um, iconic. How could this have been ignored for so long?
Hogan made it sound like he and Ulrich were inseperable buds with this incredible musical bond. This hyperbole, which Lars did not reciprocate in the slightest, taints the story.
Its asinine to suggest Hogan was "smeared" because he got called out on an obvious half-truth. Frankly, the dude put himself in perfect position to be scrutinized here. Lars Ulrich isn't known for his quiet demeanor. The Dane tried to take down Napster for Christ's sake, so what does it matter if he discredits a wrestling legend at some point? Just saying.
Ryan Clark did nothing wrong. This time.
