Maaannnn ... As a child of the 80s this shit is devastating.

Isn't it?

It's a New Day, bro.

[Kifimbo]

Won't change a thing (and shouldn't), but as far as public apologies are concerned, this one is pretty good.

 

[Mighty Chin]

More Bobby Love.

 

[LQX]

Wow, but I bet by the end of the day you are going to have bunch of entertainers coming to his defense. Mr. T, Snoop Dog etc. Brother it was eight years ago, I've changed.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Is that what happened? I don't know whether to feel for bad for him or jump on the hate train. He said awful things but with a reasonable expectation of privacy. Really fucked up.

Considering it seems he likes to say nigger nigger nigger in private, all I can muster up is a fuck Hulk Hogan. I was just singing his theme on Wednesday..this is pretty upsetting shit.

 

[vas_a_morir]

Bullshit.

Well, I do not defend the use of 'whore,' as it is a degrading term for a human being. HOWEVER, in my extremely limited personal experience, as well, I would find this poster's statements about sexual prostitution in gentlemen's clubs to be consistent with reality.

 

[Spinluck]

Wouldn't this be his second sex tape?

 

[Dunedain_Ranger]

No way wwe is racist look at their long list of black world champions .

apology....

Empty apology imo. Those words he said were said with real thought and venom. The idea his daughter was maybe having sex with a back guy must have burned his soul.

also

WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."

lol

 

[BobTheFork]

Wouldn't this be his second sex tape?

I just assumed it was from the known tape and no one ever could ever bring themself to have the sound on.

edit: Isn't this literally the same shit Dog the bounty Cunter was saying. His daughter dating a black man and his tiny brain couldn't take it?

 

[BFIB]

Real American, or the vastly superior American Made?

Some excerpts from a longer version of the Hulk Hogan sextape

What the fuck?? Hogan you cunt ...

 

[params7]

Hogan's become irl heel.

That has more to do with what the content of Chyna's porn video, it involves her having sex with actors playing Vince and Stephanie Mcmahon. She is never getting into the hall of fame as long as there are McMahons in the WWE.

Interesting. But still. WWE's HoF has no meaning in and of itself, if they can just wipe out the inductees and not honor certain individuals who gave a lot to wrestling but rubbed the management off the wrong way. Chyna is by far the greatest female pro wrestler I've ever seen. She'd walk her way to any legit pro-wrestling hall of fame.

[Cereal KiIIer]

So, we have to pretend he never existed?

 

[KefkaPalazzo]

On one hand, I want to doubt that Hogan is truly a racist, but just a delusional out of touch old man. On the other, such horrific comments deserve consequences, regardless of intentions.

Speaking of, remember when Vince said the N word? Now that was some awful shit.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

What a fucking piece of shit. The excerpts from the tape should be posted in the OP. I had to search for that shit. He is so fucking done wow.

 

[Macho Madness]

Are you a publicly traded company?

Yes

Yeah, I think anyone would demand 250k dollars to job to Chyna.

Yep, one of the dumbest comments I've read in a while.

it isn't dumb

Actually Dog was upset his Son was dating a black woman.

 

[Aiii]

It's more of a social commentary than a joke.

It's more of a social commentary than a joke.

it's not an entirely good one of those either

Hogan and Colin Cowherd get outed as racists in back to back days? I wonder who's going to be outed next.

 

[Arnie7]

I'm willing to forgive if he shows true repentance and signs that he has changed his views of race since the tape.

However that's not very likely.

 

[BFIB]

Maybe Hogan just has jealous eyes? Remember when this photo came out w/ his daughter?

 

[speculawyer]

Well, you had a good run, Hulk. Time to quietly go away along with Cosby.

 

[Ban Puncher]

He'll be back with WWE within two years. Three tops.

Only difference will be Vince won't have to pay Hogan anything near what he's demanded in the past.

 

[boredofcanada]

Fuck him. No sympathy. I'm glad I shed those 80's nostalgia glasses for wrestlers years ago. I bet most of them are right wing racist gun advocates when no one is looking.

 

[brotherbean]

Haven't followed wrestling in decades, but 8 year old me would have been crushed to find out what a scumbag this guy is. I'll admit, even as an adult with absolutely zero invested in the sport, it's pretty damn disappointing. Never meet your heroes, kids. In fact, don't even Google them these days.

 

[megatronium]

Cowherd was outed as racist? Link?

 

[Imm0rt4l]

This is sad

Jeez. A guy can't even rub oil on his daughter's ass without getting shit for it these days.

Say what? What happened there?

 

[maquiladora]

I feel sorry for people who were fans of his for years back in the day but I'm also really glad now that another racist piece of shit has been exposed for what they really are.

Fuck him.

 

[Violence Jack]

Jeff Jarret

Didn't Jarrett sleep with Kurt Angle's wife while she was still married?

 

[Aiii]

“Eight years ago I used offensive language during a conversation. It was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language; there is no excuse for it; and I apologize for having done it.”

“This is not who I am. I believe very strongly that every person in the world is important and should not be treated differently based on race, gender, orientation, religious beliefs or otherwise. I am disappointed with myself that I used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs.”

You don't make comments so vile if that's "not who you are." There's just no excuse. It was in private, in a relaxed setting, there isn't even a single circumstance that could make his comments even the tiniest bit excusable (in so far that comments like that can even be excused, which isn't far).

Seriously vile, gtfo Hogan.

 

[avengers23]

He's never exactly hidden his views on people of color. He uses dog whistle code words all day, every day.

 

[FlammableD]

WWE, however, maintains that Hogan was fired: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."

This is hilarious. What Hogan did was incredibly shitty, but WWE is using this to again springboard just like they did w/ the bully campaign, etc.

What the fuck do you want them to do?

 

[Kusagari]

His apology is hilarious. The guy called himself a racist, he didn't just drop an n-bomb.
