This whole Hogan being shunned looks hypocritical now with how much WWE supports Trump He should be back by Mania Great point! At this point they can even bring Chyna back to good graces since they supported Trump.

Mattel ain't gonna produce that figure. Maybe if he gets resigned to WWE. MAYBE. I'm not absolutely convinced they'll make it even then. If they do, I assume it's because some exec doesn't know about the scandals (i.e. not wrestling fans). And then all it will take is a few complaints from some people who see it in stores and thinks it's racist of Mattel to make it, then distribution quietly stops. If they do make it, it'll be the one thing I pre-order just in case Mattel takes it away from us later. IF (and it's never gonna really happen people, let's get over this) and when they do ever sign him...we'll get a figure. I have no doubts in that - i just have doubts that he'll ever be back in his lifetime. If he's signed, they'll put a fig out somehow. Spencer's is a more adult oriented store - put him there lol There's still MONEY to be made of Hogan. There always will be. I don't care if he's been clearanced or what but there's no hogan stuff still on shelves anywhere round me. Plenty of Austins though (no surprise). Point is, always money to be off hulk so why wouldn't they? The strategy is in HOW to get it out and WHERE to put it. We'll never see him as a retail figure so what to do?

I feel like he will be back soon and the figure will be made. Mattel is a business and the figure will sell so its comin....eventually.

Storm collectables should get a 1/6 license from WWE. Would like to get undertaker in that scale. ☺

If that was the case Mattel would have pulled everything from stores that Hogan had when that all came out to start with. But they were left to sell, I still see old Hogan figures in some stores now. So I doubt that will happen. And I mean who TF has never in their life said the N word? Rather it was used to be racist or said just to be said, idc who you are (black, white purple blue or green) you've said the N word once in your life LOL Hogan is that you? 🤔 And on topic, the Storm figure has nothing to do with his status with WWE. I hope the company never brings him back after what he said and I find it absurd people want him back just for an action figure.

And idc what anybody thinks, today kids are so thinned skin its ridiculous, you can't say Sht without people crying like a bunch of pansy ass baby's. That's what's wrong with today's world, to many pu$$y's out there. Like let's make football 2 hand touch now because it's barbaric GTFOH.

Hogans conversation was recorded illegally and even won millions to prove this. Does it mean what he said was right? No. It was in the privacy of his own home, again, being released to the public without his permission. Look, he's paid the damages associated with this. You're going to keep this hanging over a guys head forever? Get real. He's done way more good for the public and it's fans than harm. The African American community embraces him as well when they ask for an autograph, they seem to have let it go, why you're so hellbent on keeping him punished is absurd. Let it go.

I'm not sure I agree with "he paid the damages" on this. He won MILLIONS OF DOLLARS from this. He didn't "pay" anything. He won more money from being racist than the WWE was going to pay him anyway. Most people just want him back so they can get a figure. It's sickening.

Let's a act ikr you've never said anything under your own roof before. Because you didn't know? Hogan is the only human on earth, EVeR. To have said something racist before.

Most people just want him back so they can get a figure. It's sickening. Hogan did not win any lawsuit from the leaked audio of his racist comments. His $140 million judgement which was later settled at $31 million was for Gawker showing his sex tape with Bubba the Lovesponge's wife on their website. Hogan did not profit at all for his statements but actually lost money by getting fired from the WWE and other endorsement deals getting canceled.

I love when people have fits about how too sensitive people get, showing how sensitive they, themselves, get.

Here's how I look at it. Hulk Hogan is a character, a GREAT character. Portrayed by a man who's done and said done crappy stuff. He had the right to say what he wants, and people have the right to criticize that. Dude apologized, who knows of it's sincere? So he said "my bad" and it's OK and fair to find his statements unacceptable. He admitted wrong. We move on. That's all there is to it.
No one is being too sensitive because they're not OK with someone, privately or publicly, dehumanizing other people based on their race, gender or sexuality. If it's OK to say that stuff privately, it's equally OK to criticize the person saying it if it becomes public. It's fair.
All that said, it's over. We had an apology. We have to accept that, it's fine, in fact great, to admit wrong doing and move on. So we move on. Give us the damn toys of the character so many love and let's accept the man who admitted wrong doing and accept his apology. nWo 4 life.
