Guys, I really don't think this is a big deal, Hulk Hogan isn't racist. I mean, according to my sources orange is the new black! I'll see myself out.

Odd, earlier at lunch we came up with: I am a Real American Cannot let Brooke date Africans I am a Real American. Fight for what's right. Fight for what's white. We are dumb. It is Friday.

H/T Steve Mack.

There's a lot of people who owe Bobby Heenan an apology. The Brain was right all along.

I'm personally looking forward to the mountain of lies that will be told when Hogan is recounting this incident years from now. "Brother, all that stuff went down, and I was deported to the jungles of Siberia, and then President Obama gave me the pardon, and told me with his dying breath "I forgive you brother".

Hogan is just mad that a guy was dating his daughter and it was't him.

Guess the Silverdome/Superdome mixup can be explained by the fact that Hulk's not good with colors.

Nancy Grace: "Did steroids make Hogan racist?"

I am a real American / son-in-laws white, no Africans I have thought of Hulk Hogan as a big lame goober since I was in kindergarten. I never got to believe that wrestling was real as a child solely because of Hogan using a doofy leg drop as a finisher. I hate racism, I hate the conditions in the world that cause it to exist and I hate the consequences of those conditions. But I am very satisfied knowing that even during my childhood, I had that bald asshole figured out.

tl, dr Has anyone made an "orange privilege" joke yet?

You mean Hogan wasn't actually signing his tweets when he added "HH" at the end of them?

It almost looks like he is doing a Phoenix Spash. We could rekindle the Paul Wight Hit A Moonsault in New Japan urban legend! Who will ever forget when Andre died at WM3, when for some reason, he chose to Phoenix Splash an empty ring?

And 20 years later, Booker finally got him.

Hopefully this leads to Michael Hayes showing up in court in a bright orange zoot suit to testify on Hogan's behalf.

TBH, if I was an eight foot tall black billionaire basketball star I'd probably feel I could do better than Brooke Hogan anyway.

We owe Heenan an apology that there is no real cure for cancer.

HA! I just looked at the Gawker story again and realized this was the photo they used The one time TNA gets publicity...

Hogan can use the n word because he is a person of color (that color being orange).

And let the memes begin

Hulk has some awful tattoos. You guys are all the best. this thread has been great. That is what the DVDVRMB is so good at. Coming together in someone's worst moment and mocking them relentlessly. This made my day so much better.

I enjoyed this series of tweets between two sportswriters I dig

So about that Best of Hulk Hogan DVD...

Oh boy, I can't wait for this: Big Poppa Pump ‏@ScottSteiner 3h3 hours ago now does everybody believe me that hogan is a piece of sh*t...will comment more later...traveling #Karma

God Mick Foley is an idiot "Hogan just made a very bad mistake" No Mick - spelling your own name wrong on the SATs is a very bad mistake

If you can't trust someone named "Bubba the Love Sponge", who can you trust?

Mark Henry statement

I am a real American, fight for the rights of every white man.

You guys need to learn how to spell Bayley.

If Bubba's wife didn't have a racist bone in her body, Hogan wouldn't be in this mess.

Hulk: I did something hideous. Something disgusting. Something that will embarrass me for as long as I live. Something no fan can ever forgive me for. Renee: We already know about the TNA run, Hulk.

The best thing to come out of this is maybe this will lead to the WWE acknowledging Ernie Ladd outside of February

On behalf of Bad News Brown and myself, I would like to say Fuck Roddy Piper.

Hot Road, as always the voice of reason.

Especially after eating sushi.

The lesson here is that if your obese friend gives you permission to sleep with his drop dead gorgeous wife say NO. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Half off both Insurgents and the jump jet today, apparently. EDIT: Can someone explain to me why I just bought a fucking jump jet? jstout: jet griefer. Hey, that hooker money isn't gonna spend itself.

Hey, you try fitting 200 Somas in your pocket, Bruther!

That n-word would then be "nectarine." "Yo, whassup, my necta!"

Yeah, the Enquirer story is pretty awful. That's some strong stuff. Not up there with Michael Richards and Mel Gibson level but bad enough to deserve a ton of flak. WWE is smart to completely step away from him. I think people are gonna make to much about the HOF stuff and getting rid of his merchandise. The HOF is imaginary, as it is. I imagine the fear is they don't want people immediately associating Hulk Hogan with WWE (although they will). I do think there's a way back from this. Assuming another tape comes out where he's threatening to murder or lynch minorities, I think people, at some point, will be cognizant of the fact that the dude was secretly taped and basically extorted. After a few years of good PR and image rebuilding, which you can imagine will be coming (the "rehabilitation of Hulk Hogan" kind of writes itself), I can see this becoming a footnote and not a defining chapter. Unlike Richards and Gibson, this wasn't a public, violent diatribe directed at specific people. This is especially true if he wins his lawsuit against Gawker and he's shown to have been a victim. I also think that considering how not on top of things that WWE is that there is a good chance that Hogan was the one that gave them a heads up that this tape was about to leak. You gotta imagine WWE runs from the tabloid scene considering all their shady shit so I doubt they'd have sources. Pretty shitty story all around. We've known for years that the dude playing Hulk Hogan was a very, very flawed dude. That kind of language isn't surprising and it is unfortunate. Really, this whole story from the sex tape on should have never been a thing. Also, and maybe this is just me, every time a scandal in wrestling breaks I wish people wouldn't immediately bust out the Benoit comments and comparisons. That was the most horrific story in wrestling history and up there in worst crimes in, like, any history. No one immediately brings up OJ slaughtering his wife every time an NFL gets an assault charge. Both of those stories are just awful tragedies and both of those people *should* be forgotten and discarded in history. Those things are just unpleasant to even think about. Hogan is an old racist white dude, just because WWE pulled his merch and profile doesn't mean we need to equate it to the "Benoit treatment."

So that's how racist you have to be to actually get fired from the WWE. Good to know.

And yet Michael fucking Hayes survives in that company somehow. If you asked me to bet on "fired because of a racist rant," I would have lost a couple hundred bucks betting on a Hayes/Flair parlay.

As with most things, I defer to the Iron Sheik for sound commentary-

It would have cost a lot of Fuck Money.
