To be fair, when Vince did it, it was purely for comedic effect. You can see Booker T and John Cena looking at him like they couldn't believe what he'd just done, and whether you think he should be saying words like that or not (I personally don't), I don't think you can say it's the same thing.

Should they have removed him from the Hall of Fame? I dunno. I am glad they fired him though.

Poor Curtis Axel...

They removed Hogan from the Hall of Fame?

If so, they are finished!

If using a racial epithet gets you removed then certainly numerous allegations of domestic violence, winding up in hotel rooms with dead women twice, and having sex with underage girls should get at least the same treatment.

The problem is that a lot of the stuff that we all believe happened is hard to prove. Like Snuka for example.

Hogan was caught out, and there's no wiggle room for what he did.

Like I said before, WWE has their "just don't get caught" mindset.

"Hard to prove"

😂

Have you actually read about the incidents?

Even more, did you read what Vince had to say about them at the time?

So you can prove that Snuka killed his gf?

You can prove that Jerry Lawler ****ed underage women?

You can prove that Patterson sexually harassed young men? This one you might, as there was a lot of publicity surrounding it.

You can prove that Macho Man had sex with Stephanie?

That Shawn Michaels was forced to give Vince blowjobs to ensure his place in the company?

Seriously though.

Macho Man and Shawn Michaels weren't mentioned by me.

I see you haven't been doing your due dilligence.

There are TWO women involved with Snuka not one.

Any number of shoot interviews with wrestlers from Mid South and Memphis not only state it but say it isn't a singular event. If the stanadard works for Cosby in the current environment, it would definitely apply to Lawler.

As for Patterson... 😂

You are lashing out without doing the work.

Lashing out? Where?

Keep trying to move the goalposts though... I'm sure there's a few spare metres you can use.

Why are you including incidents I never cited if you aren't angry?

Everything I alluded to is not only documented over several decades but has even been ajudicated.

The goalposts have remained the same, it's your aim that's in question.

Why would I be angry? You were the one who was vague about other incidents without naming them.

Must be nice to say "Oh, I only meant x" when you've been so evasive thusfar.

Sex with underage women could have meant any number of wrestlers, but you didn't specify. Same with domestic violence. Same with dead women.

Maybe if you had been more specific at the start, we could have avoid this unpleasantness, and you wouldn't have to act like this.

I wanted you to put down the Guinness flavored crisps and do some research on your own. The HOF and Legend contract holders should've sufficed.

Really, more Irish jokes? How the hell do you expect me to even bother trying if you're going to be such an ass?

The facts speak for themselves.

Emotionalism is a negative.

Facts like what Warrior said about homosexuals? About Heath Ledger? And about Katrina? Those are pretty solid facts...

Have you guys heard what Hogan said, honestly as far as racist rants go it was super tame.

Hogan seemed angry his daughter abandoned him as her manager, to sign with a label which was run by a black man.

The N word stuff was even said kinda ironicly, this just seems like someone without the facts jumping super overboard with it. Hell, even Kamala who famously fought Andre over some racist remarks said that Hogan isn't racist and its digusting that people are using stolen personal tapes to crucify him.

The problem is that even if he didn't mean it harmfully, he still said the word. He's not an idiot, and he should have known better.

That said, I hope he ****ing annihilates Gawker. They're a parasitic, sexist piece of shit and I hope he bodyslams them like he did Andre.

It's not just Harris(Kamala) but every Black star he interacted with, especially in his 80's heyday.

The WWE overreached badly here and it will hurt them.

It could have hurt them more if they'd kept him employed, tbh.

I think people are hung up on the, "yeah, I'm racist, f*ck ni****s" line when it's clearly ironic.

It would be like ordering Chinesse food and getting your order minus some stuff, and then to a friend secretly recording you, you say some dumb thing about how a billion people can't get your order right and then reference the drive through lady from "dude where's my car?" honestly not racist people just dumb people injecting race into a standard issue.

The only thing i can here is....Hogan is definitely not a racist.

AWESOME match between Paige and Sasha banks. I don't like Cena but I give him props in that match..guys nose was practically on the side of his face.

Even if you don't think he's a racist (and I honestly don't think he is either), I don't think what he did was tame. WWE has to answer to sponsors, some of which give them a hell of a lot of revenue. Given what he said, I'm really not surprised they did what they did.

I don't even agree with it, but I understand it.
