It seems Hogan doesn't have a problem with black people over 8 feet tall.

 

[GulAtiCa]

Wow.

 

[Ban Puncher]

 

[Paskil]

No wonder he's trying to get so much money from Gawker. He'll never work again.

Spoiler

Or, they could always capitialize on the current confederate flag controversy and make him a racist heel.

It seems Hogan doesn't have a problem with black people over 8 feet tall.

So long as they're basketbally playing millionaires.

Always love it when someone decides to flush their legacy down the toilet.

 

[blackflag]

Welp WWE did the right thing then. Fuck Him.

 

[water_wendi]

It is.

And Gawker media, hot off their blackmailing someone else...this is a very slippery slope. The tape was recorded illegally.

i didnt know this. It explains a lot.

Hes an asshole but he didnt decide on anything.

 

[blame space]

It's a photoshop. Hulk's not there any more.

 

[Dachande]

Fucks sake, of course it redirects me to National Enquirer UK.

Which is a Tumblr page with covers on.

Yeah, that's infuriating. I can't even look at the article through DoNotLink or something else to try and get around it. What's the point?

Can someone quote the entire article for people like us who're being redirected from it please?

"I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever."

Oh geez, Did he shows signs of this before? Was it like all blacks are bad except for the ones I meet.

Oh man, the context of this now...

What's Virgil think of all this?

Well, to be fair, he said these things in private. He didn't make statements in a public forum. (Obviously they're revolting things to say, public or private.)

Iconic moment when Hulk picked up Andre and dropped him. Since he's now erased from WWE history, such a moment no longer exists.

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Let this be a lesson to you. Never make sex tapes.......err....speak during sex tapes....err.....be a racists SOB.

Virgil just knows the Hulk might have 100m coming to him and wants a donation for his GoFundMe

The text of the article is posted all over in here. There's not much to it beyond the quotable stuff.

oh. that's actually very funny.

 

[djplaeskool]

National Enquirer article is out. Guess the rumors were true

can someone explain the Andre the Giant joke to me like I'm a wrestling fan's mom

WWE is gonna pretend Hogan doesn't exist. That he didn't ever exist. The most famous Hogan/WWF moment of all-time is when Hogan finally lifts Andre the Giant up and slams him down for the win at Wrestlemania 3.

 

[RedNumberFive]

Hogan's downfall has been a huge bummer. I really used to look up to the guy as a kid.

 

[BiggNife]

Hulk fighting Andre the Giant at Wrestlemania 3 was one of the biggest wrestling events of all time - it pitted two hugely popular superstars against each other. The big finale of the fight was Hogan lifting Andre and throwing him down.

The joke is that in the other pic Hulk was photoshopped out because WWE is probably going to pretend Hogan doesn't exist for a while.

 

[G-Fex]

Hogan is a worse man than I thought.

 

[Averon]

Bill Cosby and now The Hulkster.

A lot of my childhood inspirations are turning out to be scumbags.

 

[MMarston]

Wait, so when WWE says erase all mentions of Hogan, would that be just recent years or are we talking about a full Benoit wipeout?


That must be crazy for them - this is their most iconic performer in history we're talking about.


Also, goddamn his comments.

I feel you Virgil man. I really do man.

Hell who wasn't as a kid? He was the good guy. Overcoming the odds. It's the same reason Cena is so popular now days. He's this generation of children's Hulk Hogan.

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

Get some height brother!

I can't ....... Ha

 

[spindashing]

Who told this n***er that he could wear my merchandise, brother?

First Atticus Finch now this..

At least we still have Mr. T.

 

[Heroman]

wow.



And more...language warning.



WWE is right to scrub this shit from their history now.

cm punk is right , Hulk hogan is a piece of human garbage.

[imBask]

i'm pretty sure there are tons of documented evidence of wrestlers being racist jerks but these guys weren't wiped from history... I'm thinking they're just using this as the "official" reason, but we all know Hogan is a dickhead and has been forever

 

[Strangelove77]

Is it Gawker doing this? Did they give the National Enquirer the tapes?
I'm glad this happened because Hogan is a piece of shit, but Gawker is fucking terrible too. I hope they still get sued and shut down.

Don't forget Jared. Maybe.

Quick, someone shop the Confederate flag.

 

[CapitalismSucks DonkeyBalls]

Hulk Hogan was a mistake. He's nothing but trash.

Breaking news: Mr. T actually talks slow and with clarity.

Gonna go to Olive Garden later today and read all his tweets.

 

[Rembrandt]

welp, that sucks. I really liked hulk when I was younger, but always liked Steve Austin/The Rock/Undertaker more, though.

 

[Mighty Chin]

"You've got Racist Eyes Hogan!"

 

[Cagey]

Snoop breaking kayfabe by mixing red with that crip flag jumpsuit.

Correct. It certainly sounds like Gawker is extorting a terrible person.

 

[Guzim]

Bobby Heenan was right about Hogan again.

 

[Frecklestein]

Hogan was one of the "good ones" though :[

 

[kiguel182]

His statements were disgusting. Fuck that guy.

Altough WWE firing someone for racism is ironic given that company is racist from top to bottom. They are clearly doing this just as a PR move but hey, at least they are doing it.
