Ongoing Hulk Hogan Drama MegathreadMegathread; Fired by WWE for racist statements (self.SquaredCircle)

ANAL_CAVITIESFunkadactyls 4 Life が 投稿 - stickied post

Wade Keller's original tweet saying Hogan is removed from WWE.com, and gone as a Tough Enough judge.

"Tomorrow, The Scandal Breaks: WWE Will Sever All Ties with Hulk Hogan" RT'd by Keller.

Hogan's superstar page is unavilable.

Hogan is no longer on the Hall of Fame page.

Axelmania page is gone/reverted to normal Curtis Axel.

Cryptic Hogan Tweet.

Meltzer: "WWE web site told a few hours ago to remove all references to him. That's all I know so far."

All Hogan merchandise has been removed from WWE Shop.

3 year old thread about footage of a Hogan racist rant.

Summary of the events so far.

Hogan is removed from the judges section on the Tough Enough website.

Possibly relevant: Hogan Talking to DJ Whoo Kid about the use of nigga vs brother (This video is not the reason for everything happening. It was just being linked a lot, and added to the OP due to the subject matter.)

The site with the Rock rumors is a satire site similar to the Onion. Please stop trying to pass it off as real.

Nikki Bella cares not for the removal of all things Hulkster (forgive me, real news is moving at a snails pace. Inb4 deleted by Nikki in 10 minutes)

I honestly hope hogan is ok.

How much can one guy take you know? He is still human.

  • leaked sex tape

  • leaked racist tape

  • 2 divorces

  • fired from wwe and life accomplishments more or less swept away.

  • failure at businesses

  • I'm sure I'm missing some stuff

The point is, I hope he doesn't snap

What does his age have to do with anything? It's not an excuse for what he said, it doesn't mean it's not that bad.

[–]anachronism42 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Age is strongly linked with racial prejudice in the United States! Also in several other countries. Not as strongly as it's linked with anti-homosexual sentiment, but the reason he asks is that in almost every survey done in the last 50 years in the U.S., older people were also more racist.

Hogan's archival footage is not only vital to the history of the WWE & wrestling but it also worth too much money for the WWE to go full Benoit. They're just going to ride out the heat. Maybe awhile from now he goes on Steve Austin's podcast on the Network and answers some hard questions. Maybe they just quietly restore him on their website/network. Either way, this isn't going to bury him forever unless he does something to fan the flames and makes the situation worse.

[–]anal-surprise -3ポイント-2ポイント  (4子コメント)

Anyone remember what fan favorite redneck Shawn Michaels said to the crowd before superkicking Booker T out of WWE's version of the NWO all those years ago?

"One of these things is not like the others." Not even joking. Look it up. Just one of many instances where our "heroes" have allowed their racism to creep out.

Booker didn't seem to mind at the time, he got a huge payday out of it. No one that gets paid ever seems to mind. Weird how that works, ain't it? But now the company took position against Hogan, so of course, the man who spent his career using that word to get himself over has to take position too.

He's a good little Uncle Tom for Vince McMahon, just like the rest of them are. While I'm at it, is anyone noticing the trend of having all the black wrestlers (male or female) wrestling in the same matches? Makes you wonder if the company is respecting locker room requests not to work with them or something.

TL;DR version : WWE coming out against racism is hilarious, hypocritical and frustrating for everyone who isn't blind to it.

[–]MichinokuDriverIITAKA is coming, motherfuck... 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Bringing up things that happened in the past before WWE started to adopt these policies and deriding the company for it makes absolutely no sense. Regardless of their history, instances like this should be applauded at least on SOME level (but I mean, come on - as I've said before ANY company would do something about it) because it's going to force the company to keep up to those standards in the future.

Yeah, he's a racist, but WWE's reaction is fucking stupid. I can understand releasing him from his contract and not using him anymore, but to entirely erase his history with the company is moronic. Hogan is virtually synonymous with wrestling/sports entertainment.

A Hall of Fame without Hulk Hogan? No more iconic footage of Hogan slamming Andre the Giant? Hulkamania just ceases to exist? What about the NWO? Does the history of the greatest stable to ever exist just disappear? C'mon now.

Acknowledge the guy said some racist shit and don't work with him ever again, but don't erase history because of it.

Listen, he wasn't removed. they aren't scrubbing him.

this all boils down to one thing. Internet searching. If you search Hulk Hogan yesterday, the time result would have been wwe.com. WWE is protecting themselves to not get tied up into all this controversy. If they had searches of HH pointing to wwe.com, then the media would be chasing after WWE for comments (which they will still do). WWE is just trying to protect it's brand. It's not changing it's history. It's just putting it away in the vault for a while as this scandal blows over. or you can watch it on the WWE network for $9.99

Didn't Hogan's restaurant have a sign that said "No..." and then went on to describe everything a stereotypical black person would wear? Like, the sign might as well have said "No niggers" with how obviously racist its intent was. Hogan being racist is no shock at all. The fact that it took WWE this long to fire him is...actually not that shocking either.

I love this stupid fucking morons claiming "oh its the SJW" , "2015 and everybody is offended" hurr durr.

Its literally got nothing to do with any shit you pull out of your ass.

Its a company terminating and distancing itself from an contracted employee/performer who made comments that would be damaging to their brand. This has been going on for decades, this is not something new, this is not a product of SJW or whatever bullshit scapegoat. Its P.R..

You don't continue to work with somebody who is damaging your brand you distance yourself and let life run its course for them.

He's a self professed racist. I don't think that's the term he meant to use, per say (I think he REALLY meant racially biased or prejudiced, not racist). He Scott Steiner'd himself, though it's not cute, nor funny. It's incredibly offensive, and he even worked his daughter, her producer, and her producer's son into it (Alleging she possibly slept with him). He also goes on to slam her, saying she's only good for making "beach albums". Whatever the fuck that is, or means.

He didn't just put his foot in his mouth, he shoved the whole goddamned leg in, Ryback style.

[–]RidleyScotchSwagger 17:76 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

The only reason Ryback would put his leg in his mouth is if he was stranded at Panera and there was nothing to eat.

I'm not even a Hogan fan, but I feel bad because it isn't just the company dropping his ass. It's now in the light, in front of everyone, and he has to answer to everyone and not just the people hes affected in his life. He has to answer to people who don't give a rats ass about him.

Just because its well deserved, doesn't mean we can't feel sorry for the guy.

[–]buttsecks666Vince's 4th son from Africa 5ポイント6ポイント  (4子コメント)

[–]StingertapNothing's For Sure! 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Not really their fault. Spiceboy and Bubba gave them the tape. Bubba taped him and set him up. Hogan waited how many years after it was published to after them for it? How did they know that maybe Hogan just didn't care?

Gawker broke the story, and posted the video for people to see. Wasn't until Hogan saw it was hurting him in his divorce financially, that he went after them.

"She is making some real bad decisions now" he said

"My Daughter Brooke jumped sides on me. I spent 2-3 million dollars on her music career, I've done everything like a jackass for her" he said

"The one option Brooke had, Brooke's career beside me is to sell beach records" he said

Apparently Hulk is moaning that some "Black Billionaire guy" had offered to fund her music career

"I don't know if Brooke was fucking the Black guy's son" He said

"I mean, I don't have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, fucking nig&#s. But when it comes to nice people and shit.

"I mean, I'd rather she was going to fuck some nig@#r, I'd rather have her marry some 8 foot tall nig#%r worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!"

And hasnt 98.9% of black superstars in WWE had to portray racist stereotypes? From the Junkyard Dog all the way to R-Truth?

Isnt this the same freakin' guy that thought Kofi Kingston was Shelton Benjamin like 5 years ago?

So yeah, this seems like a major case of the pot calling the kettle black

[–]SuperLibre2000Rich Homie Swann 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Was I making the claim that what Hulk ranted about 8 years ago in a sex tape similar to the Vince McMahon character saying the N-Word? No, I do not believe so.

I was however pointing out that the WWE, a company owned by Vince McMahon, has fired a man for saying racist things when he himself has exhibited more racist behavior in the last 15 years.

The phrase I used was "pot calling the kettle black" Do you understand this? It means the pot cannot call the kettle black because the pot is also black. Vince McMahon cannot fire Hulk Hogan for being racist because he is a racist. Now do you understand?

[–]Th3_St4lk3r 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

I disagree. While only the Rock was WWE champion, Booker T and Mark Henry were WHC, which counts as World Title. Also Bobby Lashley was pushed to the moon when he was around. Also it was rumored that Vince was also trying to get Big E over as next big thing.

Yeah, R-Truth's gimmick is stereotypical, but he's so damn good at it I think it's just his real-life personalty but exaggerated.

[–]Game25900 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The first one can sort of be defended by them based on it being the Mr. McMahon character using racial slurs as opposed to Vince himself, much like if an actor were to portray a racist in a show or film it doesn't mean they themselves are.

The others would probably fall under excuses of "Not the right talent" or "It's just an exaggerated character" etc, and nothing to do with race.

I'm not really arguing for whether Vince is or isn't racist here though, I'm just guessing that whatever Hogan did is undefendable from their stand point, more than likely because it's not something that was done on the show and they can't just go "It's just part of the show, it's not actually what we think".

R-Truth is what you see is what you get. He's an actual rapper and is apparently funny. I don't know much about JYD as a person.

Isnt this the same freakin' guy that thought Kofi Kingston was Shelton Benjamin like 5 years ago?

Not Kofi, Michael Tarver, a new to road traveling Michael Tarver I might add. Vince, who probably never met or seen Tarver made one mistake that everybody ended up laughing about. Yes even Vince McMahon can make mistakes, the same mistake that you just made might I add.

So Vince saying the N-Word on National TV wasnt real life?

I do not doubt R-Truth is a funny guy and is happy go lucky and raps in his spare time. I do doubt that he wants to be used as the dancing, jive-talking foo' hes been for the past forever. What happen to that R-Truth/Cena feud where he was being takin seriously every week?

Yeah, youre right, everyone laughed about it so its okay now. Even if Michael Tarver and Shelton Benjamin do look different. Lol. BTW which one is Curtis Axel and which one is Jack Swagger?

Yep. Mr. McMahon (who is a character on a television program) played an out of touch old man in that segment, ya feel me dog?

From what I heard from him on Jericho's podcast he seems pretty happy with where's he's at right now and is proud of that said feud with Cena.

We all know that but that doesn't make it any less a valid controversy. The point is Hogan, not what everyone else is doing in reaction.

[–]SuperLibre2000Rich Homie Swann 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

The point is Vince McMahon is hella racist, Id say moreso than Hulk Hogan.

[–]JreynoldFree Sunglasses 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'd say Vince's ignorance has a more negative effect on culture. The thing is, it's hard for the average person to connect to and it needs some understanding of why minstrelsy characters are bad, and why black champions are important for a major pop culture producer. On almost an instinctual level people know Hogan's rant was morally bad.

I think the point is the WWE is forced to overreact because of their extremely dicey track record on race.

I think it was Michael Tarver. Also, there still hasn't been a black champion on the main belt except The Rock.

Didnt the owner of the company call John Cena the N-Word right in front of Booker T on camera?

It was a friggin joke on how old, out of touch, and white Vince is. It amazes me how many clueless people are claiming that's comparable to racial slurs

[–]SuperLibre2000Rich Homie Swann -1ポイント0ポイント  (1子コメント)

yeah thats great its a friggan joke, its on TV so its not real, right? Hes just a character when hes on TV.

But is he a white man that said nigga on national TV?

oh right but it was on TV so it doesnt count

This is an intense heel turn

[–]drmojo90210 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

When I first heard about this, my first thought was "man, all this racist shit would have been great heat material for Hogan's first heel turn at Bash at the Beach '96."

Then I remembered that event took place in Northern Florida 20 years ago. The crowd probably would have cheered.

Can Hulk now sue the magazine qhich leaked the tapes for the losses which come from the termination of his contract(s)?

[–]hate_tankFrench American, whatever you are! 5ポイント6ポイント  (3子コメント)

He's already suing for $100 million.

[–]askuse 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Then can he add $100 million more to make it a $200 million lawsuit(i am really into the gawker hate bandwagon,even though I will hate hulk hogan if thats true)?

[–]RayuzxBOlieve that. 3ポイント4ポイント  (1子コメント)

Getting a bit off topic, but I've already promised myself that if Hogan puts Gawker out of business I would forgive all of his crimes against wrestling and play all of his themes for a whole year.

[–]askuse 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Me too.Depending on the destruction level,I may even start a petition to bring him back.
