Well if Hogan is unemployed... there is still a tad bit of life left in TNA, if he wants to finish off what he started.
I'm not much of a Hogan fan, but old men say dumb ignorant stuff all the time. It's what they do. But I'll reserve judgement on the whole thing till we hear more. Don't wanna sound like an idiot chastising WWE or Hogan till we get details.

I'm seriously doubting 100% doubting this is solely due to a racist tirade. The WWE fired Del Rio because he smacked a racist. This company isn't going to seperate itself from one of its most iconic superstars because of some sort of racist rant. There's more to this than just that I'm sure of it.

If what he said about The Rock is true, then yeah, you absolutely have to cut ties with him. Yeah, he may be one of the most iconic superstars of all time, but A) What he said was disgusting And B) From a strictly business standpoint, who can make you more money in 2015 and beyond, Hulk Hogan or The Rock? I think you get rid of Hogan for PR reasons as to not be associated with him, but also, if you keep Hogan, that might cause The Rock to feel disrespected and not want to do business with the WWE in the future. If you have to choose between Hogan and Rock, at this point, you choose Rock. Rock can actually work matches if he chooses to do so and he's the highest grossing actor in Hollywood currently. You don't want to lose that marketing power.

It wasn't that radio interview that's for sure. Hogan is keeping quiet about it. WWE's reaction was extreme. To scrub Hogan like that. I think we'll be shocked when we find out why.

They should put Curtis Axel on Tough Enough and pretend its still Hogan. Don't even mention it's not him. This is a fantastic idea.

You don't want to lose that marketing power. I'm not disputing that it doesn't play a part in why he's been completely scrubbed but even with the things he's apparently said about Rock, that would just lead them to not booking him or using him on TV shows going forward. For them to absolutely completely abolish him from literally everything outside of title histories and stuff on the Network... I refuse to believe that there is not more to this whole situation than just this audio recording. I feel like this is going to end up being something we never really find out the whole story especially given the kind of embellisher Hogan is.

If this is true, it just goes to show that your heroes will always let you down. People aren't infallible. I'm willing to bet you have used at LEAST one derogatory comment in your life. This only shows that A) people, who make these comments themselves, love to see celebrities humbled because logic and B) while free speech exists with the government, our ability to say what we feel is restricted to only being politically correct. I don't feel bad for Hogan, but I can't condemn him. There are other celebrities who have done much worse than just saying racist remarks. Bill Cosby immediately springs to mind. And, btw, as a minority myself, let me say that not everything everybody says indicative of one being a racist. For example, if I'm irritated and mad at something infuriating you did, I don't think I'm alone in saying that I would want to insult you. What will affect you more? Calling you a bigoted term, or calling you a jerk? Maybe in the decades that have passed, the latter would be all that you needed, but to paraphrase Bret Hart, the days of saying aw shucks are over. Free speech also exists for me to say that I am disappointed in him. Not interested in a fight, but the last time I would have insulted someone for the way they looked or if they were mentally handicapped or any number of other things beyond their control (such as skin color) would've been when I was in elementary school in the south where you hear things. As an adult, if I wanted to insult someone, I could make them cry and I wouldn't have to use grade school derogatory terms to do so.

If they did that, I'd forget about my hatred towards all of the aborted pushes of Dean Ambrose, Cesaro, and Kevin Owens, and all of the Randy Orton vs. John Cena feuds I've had to endure. I'd even subscribe to the network for life.

I saw on Facebook that he said the n word while repeating the famous Booker T botch but it sure as hell wasn't a tirade.

If this is it then the quotes circulating around the net about Hulk and the Rock are hopefully bs Still inexcusable of Hogan what is said in the link above tho. Will have to see what the long term fallout is.
