RIPPA Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Did they ever actual announce he WAS “suspended” from the Hall of Fame or was it one of those things were he magically vanished when they tried to scrub him from history? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolCB Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I feel like they actually had an article on their site when he was initially removed. It may have been that he was released, but I wanna say it mentioned his removal. **edit Okay, based on what I could find, all they had was a brief statement. https://www.wwe.com/inside/wwe-terminates-contract-with-hulk-hogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan really has no purpose in the current WWE except that he is Hulk Hogan. I really hope that all this Hogan and New Day talk was just "ha ha imagine if they have him hanging with the black group" . Although they have gone about 6 months with New Day and their creepy love of pancakes so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Cincinnati Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Quote “I don’t know if Brooke was fucking the black guy’s son." “I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and shit, and whatever." “I mean, I’d rather if she was going to fuck some n*gger, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!" “I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger.” Just in case anybody forgot. 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Maybe neckbeards will tweet @ Snickers to express their fake outrage about Hogan, the way they did with the Moolah deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maciej Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 yes, a perfectly reasonable post right after a reminder of that racist piece of shit saying the n word a bunch of times is a complaint about people being fake outraged 8 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the strong language you use here. "Outrage," because anyone who remarks on finding it distasteful for the company to associate with Hogan must be throwing a histrionic fit. Better yet, what does one need to do to get their feelings rubber-stamped as authentic by your ilk? And while I'm not very active on social media, I wouldn't be opposed to sponsors getting @'d. Isn't that just the free market sorting itself out? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Go2Sleep Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Hogan said those things before America voted that it's ok to be outwardly racist again. WWE is just keeping up with the times for once. 3 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Quote Hulk Hogan is officially backstage at tonight's WWE pay-per-view. After the company announced that he's been reinstated into their Hall of Fame, Hogan sent out a tweet this afternoon about meeting with the WWE roster: "Just met with the @WWE Superstars and on all levels the volume of love and support was overwhelming. I’ve been praying for this day and I finally feel like I made it back home. Only Love 4 the #WWEUNIVERSE brother HH" Dave Meltzer notes that Hogan apologized to everyone for the racist rant that led to Hogan being fired from WWE in July 2015. Meltzer added that there were wrestlers cheering for Hogan and congratulating and hugging him. PWInsider first reported the details of Hogan's apology. They wrote that Hogan reminded everyone to always think about what they're saying and that, in today's day and age, "they have to remember that there are always cameras everywhere and they could be recorded even when they don't realize they are." WWE also confirmed on the Extreme Rules pre-show that Hogan is backstage at the PPV. As of now, that and him being reinstated into the Hall of Fame is all that WWE has announced about his status with the company. https://www.f4wonline.com/wwe-news/hulk-hogan-meets-wwe-roster-backstage-extreme-rules-261726?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter I am sure that wasn't awkward for some folks...

Niners Fan in CT Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 And yes, Fuck Hulk Hogan. I don't believe the shit he said is forgivable. WWE doesn't NEED him to be around. It's just another big fuck you to (a small portion of the audience). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORELOCK Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Interesting that some on this board are totally fine with praising Benoit for his contributions to the business but Hogan is a bridge too far. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
