Hulk Hogan's wrestling existence remembered

[ShoesEvenShinier]

All mentions of him, pictures, videos erased from WWE per racist recording that surfaced.

Really? Drop an off the cuff N word years ago and it's like you never existed?

At least they can't touch his performance in Rocky 3

 

[NickleDimer]

His remarks were typical of a senior citizen born and raised in the south.

 

[HereComeTheCats]

I didn't realize the WWE disapproved of racism. It's not like he bad mouthed 30 year old virgins.

I did not hear the interview, but is it the same one where he just used the word in a conversation?

he did not explicitly call someone that word. am I correct?

No different one. It was more along the lines of Mel Gibson's rant only he was talking about his daughter not wife.

 

[Mr. Wade Garrett]

You gotta love that he was tagging his best friend's wife WITH PERMISSION for this.

 

[YAWN!]

Yawn. Another day, another celebrity taken down by a racist recording.

Hahaha

 

[NickleDimer]

Who will this happen to next? My guesses:
Anderson Cooper
Diamond Dallas Page
Paul O'Neill

I enjoy this episode of irony considering the WWE's reputation of terribly sterotyped characters. Iron Sheik, Tatanka, the nation of domination, etc. etc. etc.

Their current black wrestler characters are basically stereotypes on 1990s thugs. It's appalling, even for them.

 

[gldendog]

Yeah, brother!

 

[novabball2]

the WWF has been racist since the 80s. Bad News Brown never won a match, ever.

 

[ShoesEvenShinier]

Serious question. If any of the racist rants done by celebrities were about any other ethnicity and didn't involve the N word, would anyone care? If he hated Asians and dropped alot of slurs about them, I'm guessing this isn't a story. Or if its, it's a minor one.

Other races don't make a stink about it. Blacks live for this shit.

 

[adp98]

And the jews because they run Hollywood. Didn't hear the tape. How long have they been sitting on the tape? Guess he wasn't playing nice or making money anymore.

 

[novabball2]

the tape recorded 8 years ago. holy smokes , being famous must be awful these days. literally cant do or say anything

Always nice to have a crutch to lean on as an excuse for personal failures. "It ain't my fault".

 

[FatPhilM]

I may have heard the wrong audio but if it is the interview where he is quoting a black wrestler who used to call Hulk the n-word, I don't see the big deal.

 

[NickleDimer]

Haha. This is on the front page of ESPN.com. What has he ever done related to real sports?

Good question. Westling like UFC is not a sport.

It's the recording where he called Bilal Benn the N word

Since ESPN isn't a legit sports news organization anymore, I'd say it's a wash.

Fair point, but usually their reporting decisions are always colored by the money of their sponsors/partners. WWE is broadcast on NBC/Universal/Comcast channels.

 

[ShoesEvenShinier]

I just went to that site for the first time in years. What a shitshow. Is there anything not on that front page? I see they took a page from the facebook philosophy of "more is utter crap". The front page just scrolls forever with ads and other nonsense plastered on every border.

 

[NickleDimer]

If they got rid of that whole right-most column, it would be much less of a disaster.

 

[gldendog]

Good question. Westling like UFC is not a sport.

Yeah those UFC guys who nearly die in the cage aren't athletes. Golfers are the real men out there.

 

[FatPhilM]

UFC is basically what pro wrestling would be if it was real.

 

[gldendog]

UFC is basically what pro wrestling would be if it was real.

So in other words they are polar opposites?

One is scripted. The other you can die at a moments notice.

[gldendog]

That fisherman has more balls than a golfer.

 

[NickleDimer]

A fish of that size likely does, in fact, have larger (interior) testes than some humans. Gdog is such an intuitive mind. Even when he's trying to be wrong, he is right.

 

[gldendog]

Glad you're catching on. I'm always right.
