I feel like this sums up the entire topic of the WWE being racist.
On a serious note who really has held Vince prized title the wwe title ? Booker, Henry all held the big gold title not Vince's www title
 
I'm curious what this means for all the old content WWE owns of Hogan. Plus, his appearance in the video games and such.

Very little. Worst case is they just don't directly reference a lot of his accomplishments and maybe remove Hogan bookmarks on WWE Network - a la what they did with Benoit. But honestly, Hogan is too important to their history to be fully ignored.

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets cut from WWE 2k16 though

Nothing for old video content, we know this because benoit is in uncensorted, though they never mention his name in the descriptions of the ppv's he's in or have quickskip points (which is actually good because those stupid things spoil the results of the match).

This may prove harder for hogan though since he was the bedrock of the company from the mid eighties to the early nineties and headlined 98% of the ppv's then. They may just leave it at the website removal and call it a day.

He will probably be out of games from now on as that would be seen as the wwe "actively" endorsing him.
 
there are more important things to worry about. every damn one of us would hang our heads in shame if the masses knew of all the shit we talked in private. and yet we put on these public witch hunts.

i grew up on gangsta rap and frequently let out the n word like its normal vocabulary. i even did it in front of black people before and just flat out apologized.

i also frequently as a youth talked shit to other cultures blindly and considered these people friends, we would all just spit bullshit to make people laugh.

time and place for everything of course. i doubt based on hulks actions that he is the kind of racist you need to worry about. he was just huffing and puffing in private.

i ain't getting rid of my hulkmania tshirt brother!
 
Just in case you guys didnt know what type of person hogan was before, when his son crippled his friend for life in a car accident, hogan was recorded calling nick who at this point was in prison and they discussed getting nick a reality show for when he gets out, and then hulk went on to say, "god laid some heavy shit on that kid, i don't know what type of person he was" basically rationalizing his stupid son's tremendous fuckup by implying his friend deserved it for being sinful.

Context. I doubt Hulk was saying the N word because he was singing along to "Gin and Juice".
 
Most life long wrestling fans like myself were well aware that Hogan was a scumbag for most of his career, and has shown to be racist before this. This news does not surprise me.

I don't give WWE any credit for firing him. Their hand was forced here. They still harbor incredibly racist people in their company, Michael P.S. Hayes in particular. It's a systemic issue with WWE starting from the top. This is a company that only in the past few months is acknowledging the fact that maybe they should respect their female wrestlers. WWE is NOT the progressive company they would like you to believe they are. All the Make-A-Wish John Cena visits in the world can't cover up their deep seeded issues.

I look forward to a future where this is not a problem in wrestling. It's not there yet though.
 
He'll get the Beniot treatment. They'll leave his matches in but any specials dedicated to him are probably gone and no chance he's featured in the games anymore.

Which is nuts if you think about it. Benoit was nowhere near as important as Hogan. It'll be interesting to see what that ends up looking like.
 
I briefly heard about this on my way to work. I thought he just got caught doing jokes or something light relative to some other shit you hear about.

This......wowza.
 
Sigh... every few months, another figure I grew up watching turns out to be someone racist in real life and then it dawns on me that this is the first glimpse into who they actually are as everything up to this point were only things that they wanted me to see. I feel sick... I look back at all the clichés and hints coming from them and it all seems to line up with the sort of things I'd expect from that sort of person. I can dismiss this as confirmation bias but I wont.

Hopefully stuff like this Hogan deal gets them there faster. It has to.

What? Not a chance. WWE doesn't see racism as a huge issue and Vince loves bringing old stars back. Hogan will be back in their good graces in a couple of years at most. Mark my words.
 
After his lawsuit, win or lose - he should just release the full sextape at this point.

Make some money now that his merchandise sales are gone and people will buy it not just for the sex but for the added racism!
 
before we scrub him from history, can we make his theme song the new national anthem?

i'll stand up for that shit every time
 
WWE does have legit black Wrestlers that I can see making legit champions like Big E, Titus, or hell even Xavior Woods (how fucking awesome would that be lol?)

The problem now though if they did it, it would seem like they were doing it to cover up this Hulk Hogan shit. Still though, they really do need to put more of the black wrestlers in the spotlight because there are some seriously talented wrestlers on the roster. That New Day vs Primetime Players tag team match during the last ppv was so fucking good.
That match was alright but it wasn't in the same league when compared to the New Day's run of matches against Cesaro & Kidd, those guys are phenomenal skill-wise compared to the Primetime Players. I'd love to see heel Big-E get a World Champ push, dudes awesome.
 
Not sure why people are shocked. There are tons of racist people out there. Even though I grew up loving Hogan like everyone else did, I can't say I'm surprised even a little bit.
 
Cowherd was outed as racist? Link?

Say what? What happened there?

Woah I missed what Colin Cowherd did, but man wth Hogan

When the Sun comes up in paradise,
Girls look pretty,
Ooh they look nice.
I can smell the cocoa-lotion in the air
Cool breeze blowin' everywhere
Better start running
'Cause there's a hurricane comin'

Thunder in paradise
Messin' with him is like rolling the dice
Thunder in paradise
When you fool around with him you're playing with your life
Playing with your life
Playing with your life

When the Sun goes down in paradise
The band keeps playing all the night
The people on the beach are having fun in the sand
The boys and girls falling up holding hands
You better start running
'Cause there's a hurricane comin'

Thunder in paradise
When you mess with him it's like rolling the dice
Thunder in paradise
When you fool around with him you're playing with your life
Playing, playing with your life

When you fool around with him you're playing with your life
Playing, playing

A lot of white people from his era are racist like that. So it doesn't really surprise me. It's like they are not racist in public, but as soon as you talk to them behind closed doors it comes out.

It's weird because Roddy Piper was super racist and homophobic even in his promo's back then. I remember him having a match with Bad News Brown where he came out with half his body painted black and half black face. weird.
