What Vince said years ago does not excuse Hogan using that word in a derogatory demeaning way. It's not acceptable, so please stop trying to excuse it.

I honestly believe that anyone who felt upset or offended by Vince saying "ni**a" during a skit (showing his character being out of touch) is extremely sensitive.

Hogan needs to lay low for a while...but being the attention whore that he is, this disappointment is only going to get worse.

The best part of this story was Hogan retweeting pics of white guys with black guys telling Hogan that they didn't think he was a racist.

I think it's crazy that as a society we've set aside this one word that can't be used without everyone losing their minds.
Kevin Nash's tweets about Hogan sum it up best. The man has granted thousands of wishes through Make A Wish regardless of the recipients race, creed, color, or sexual orientation.
Hulk Hogan is a good guy. I hope every white person, especially the famous ones, are taking notice. You CAN''T use that word no matter what, or someone is going to crucify you for it.
This latest transcript is just more of the same. If anything, it illustrates that he's not racist and that he's just upset at Brooke.
I'm happy for the race baiters though, at least they have something new to complain about.

I know this is a forum where you can't curse, but there's a great Louis CK skit, about the "N-Word." You saying "n-word" is making me say the word in my head. Whenever this discussion comes around its all I can think of and its why I can never take these things seriously.
If you really want to know the guy Hogan really is, listen to the phone calls with his son while his son was in jail. His son turned his friend into a vegetable and Hogan was trying to think of how he can spin it into a reality show "The New Nick" or something like that. That's the real Hogan, this is all white people being scared.

If you had a son, you wouldn't walk away from him regardless of what he had done.

One little private conversation from 8 years ago leaks man. That's all it takes these days to brainwash people into loving/hating anyone. We have been built to be these sensitive little babies. Babies who need to be fed information and thoughts because we can't come up with our own. Humans aren't gonna last much longer as we become softer and stupider.

His son blaming the passenger in the car he crashed, and then Hogan trying to think of ideas to have a reality show to put his son in a favorable light is drastically different than supporting him in a tough time. No amount of Tweets saying "nothing but love" will fix it. He's always been crap.

Babies who need to be fed information and thoughts because we can't come up with our own. Humans aren't gonna last much longer as we become softer and stupider. This all day. You don't know how frustrating this whole story is for me. Ever since I was a little kid people have been telling me my mouth was going to get me in trouble. Stories like this are a real wake up call. Don't get me wrong, I don't say stuff like what Hogan did. I think we both just don't have a filter. This is real though. His life is being ruined right before our eyes. And for what? Because he's racist? Like, I'm sure we all know that isn't true, but it is because there are enough people out there willing to accept its true. It's sad and pathetic, and I feel sorry for everyone forced to live in this sad, little, PC world we've created for ourselves. It sucks.

It still makes me laugh that you are still trying to defend him, and you're in denial that he's a racist. But I guess admitting that you're a racist isn't being racist in your book.

Hulk: "I don't know what type of person John was or what he did to get himself in the situation.
"I know he was pretty aggressive and used to yell at people and used to do stuff. "For some reason God laid some heavy **** on that kid man. I don't know what he was into." That's how you'd cheer your son up who is jail? Blaming the victim of the crash your son caused? I highlighted a good line from the Hulkster before he more or less said that God punished him for the type of person he was.

The statement in that conversation with Nick that was so messed up wasn't some reality show plan, it was Hogan stating that John Graziano had it coming due to karma, that was grotesque. Obviously part of why Warrior made that video with the title 'Karma Collects' blasting him. I think this is all unfortunate and there's overreaction going on, don't like at all that this is click bait leaking of basically illegal video. I don't dislike Hogan really, he's Hulk Hogan, but it's not like we all didn't know he was kind of a dick.

I try not to speak for everyone but Im pretty sure I speak for at least the majority when I say, Who the cares? Seriously there is a lot more important things then worrying about who Hulk Hogan wants/doesnt want screwing his daughter. Just put his image back up on the Hall of Fame page, give me my figures that were planned to be released and dont let him back on TV until you (WWE) feel its appropriate. Its not like he was on TV every week anyway (outside of TE). He's been on what, 3 RAWs since he came back?

Drunk, stupid, depressed, angry and irrational ranting said at your lowest ebb in private.
Or saying the word while sober, premeditated and on live TV.
Hulk is a full time career idiot, he is a narcissistic image obsessed buffoon, always has been and this situation clearly proves it but this witch hunt is proving beyond ridiculous.
I don't for one second believe he is a racist. Ignorant, naive and thinking himself above social norms that are common sense to all of us yes, but I don't believe he is racist.
If Hulk is racist then the WWE as a company needs to fold as they have no right, absolutely no right at all to take the higher ground on this.
Bet every black wrestler on or who has been on the roster is laughing their asses off at this pathetic display of 'social responsibility', I bet Alberto del Rio can't believe what he is hearing/reading.
Public apology, show how you have learned as a person and do something constructive and helpful to help ease the hurt and just give it time.
Still a bloody idiot though.

I think the world is just ridiculously sensitive these days. What the hell happened? This generation of mindset wouldn't have made it through the Richard Pryor and George Carlin era's. How Daniel Tosh hasn't been burnes at the stake I will never know.
I'm not a huge Hogan fan. I don't hate nor love him and I think he's been a douche a few times. With that said, this whole thing is ridiculously overblown. He was taped during what he thought was a private moment and he chose a word that he felt as the most forceful way to vent about something. While iit's a poor choice of words, it doesn't mean he flies by night in a red and yellow KKK costume. Thought I admit...I'd crack up at a Photoshop pic of that.
