Kevin Wilson Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Speaking of Hogan, apparently something awful happened and he is done with WWE, completely scrubbed from site. Rumor says he did some racial rant that is being released tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 it's horrible that I thought of Hulk Hogan going on his racist rant in the style of one of his delusional 1980s house show promos, right? Obviously Tough Enough should go to a judge that is guaranteed to not embarrass the company. Yes, Ric Flair, Tough Enough Judge! Flair will advance or eliminate contestants based off of their alcohol tolerance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 One positive of there not being a union is you don't have to pussyfoot around with disciplinary action. By the time we find out how many n-bombs were dropped, WWE has already executed The Benoit Initiative and so there can be no question if this is being handled or not.

Jenalysis Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't think Hogan would be Benoited over just a racist rant. There is likely something more to this. Wonder if this is related to the Gawker suit as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Mann Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Obviously we don't know yet and soon will know more than we ever wanted, but I can absolutely see WWE put up a blast shield over one of the heads of their Mount Rushmore dropping n-bombs. The idea is so that the question "What took you so long to react?" is never, ever asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Unless there is a longer audio version out there the one I heard on Youtube this isn't really a "racist rant" but more of a tragically white guy trying to comprehend the N word and failing.

I think you've heard the same one I've heard. There are several comments on that video, saying that was an interview from years ago, so I don't think that was it.

Big Fresh Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I just heard the radio clip too. And if that's the reason, then I'm very confused, because it was 2 years ago. Why is it just becoming a big deal now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincey Greene Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I understand and appreciate WWE's quick response - and its apparent that whatever this is, it's bad news bears - but it seems really impractical to hit him with the Benoit. Are they more or less erasing 1983-1991? And the radio clip isn't it, it's just getting a lot of traction now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomAct Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Honestly, I think it's just reactionary stuff, and it will be like it never happened a year from now. They aren't erasing the most famous wrestler of all time from their history forever. They are just sidestepping the shitstorm until it's safe to come back.

kafkonia Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 For someone who's been "scrubbed" from the site, there sure were a lot of hits when I searched for "Hogan." His Superstar page is down, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Maybe accurate, maybe not. This article contains an interview where Hulk uses the n-word. He was actually asked if anyone ever called him the n-word by the radio host. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/24/report-wwe-scrubs-all-mentions-of-hulk-hogan-in-wake-of-controversial-n-word-audio.html?via=twitter_page EDIT: Sorry, I realize this was posted before, but the article also included the clip of Vince McMahon saying the n-word on national TV, so I'll just let it sit there.

brandonr4s Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 It can't be the radio clip. If they fired a guy for telling a story of another guy who called him a racial slur years ago, they deserve to go out of business. Has to be something else.

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I don't know....in the ultra PC world of WWE I can certainly see them pulling him for this....especially if it is coming out because of the legal case. I feel like there is probably more too this though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
