WWE terminates contract with Hulk Hogan
 

World Wrestling Entertainment has terminated its contract with legendary wrestler Hulk Hogan. The organization released a statement on Friday morning: "WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide."

Late Thursday night, WWE removed virtually all references to Hogan from its website. The WWE has not yet given an official reason for the removal, although widespread speculation has centered on comments that Hogan may have made.

Hogan has been one of professional wrestling's marquee attractions since the 1980s, and recently reunited with the WWE following a six-year absence. Until the removal, his landing page (WWE.com: The Official Site of the WWE Universe)

Short version: he used the n word 8 years ago so they fired him.

i blame his steroid abuse

Yep, he was filmed without his knowledge fucking a girl a few years back. They sold the sex tape of it.
He sued "Gawker" to get the tape down and then brought a lawsuit against them that is in court now.

That was a huge mistake on his part. Because the full tape is part of the case. And on that tape...a wasted and naked Hogan at 3 in the morning is ranting about his daughter Brooke fucking a black guy and uses THE one word that he should never have used.

He's done now. WWE fired him from Tough Enough, fired him completely from WWE, removed all of his merchandise for sale, and removed him from the "Alumni" section of their website.

He just got destroyed financially.

Which is complete and total bullshit while millions of people world wide use that word or similar words on a near hourly basis.

in a malicious way? he got crewed over :2 cents::2 cents:

Second time within a week that I have heard about Gawker taking part in a sequence of events that essentially ruined lives. Is that on their mission statement?

If that "man" had any self respect he would have killed himself long ago.

he is the "face" of WWE!

:2 cents::2 cents:

He was the face about 20 years ago

He is a royal jerk off. He ruined player's careers by holding them down to stay at the top with his behind the scenes politics.

He screwed big time headliners Randy Savage and Ultimate Warrior, Iron Shiek, Bret Hart, Scott Steiner,etc...

Good riddance to the Hulkacrap

None of which would have been possible without Vince's blessing!

Not just Vince though, He's been a virus whereever he has been though, in the WCW, TNA, etc.. He always weasels his way into the creative dept and puts himself over the top while holding others down

:helpme:helpme

I read that snoop dog is getting dropped form his record company for using the n word

He used the N word while talking shit about the Rock and a couple of other Superstars. I think thats what finished him off.

My favorite wrestler back in the days

Bam bam bigallow was better

this guy wears a fucking feather boa and fake wrestles, then we point our fingers at him when it turns out he's ignorant. shocker.

and his schtick should have run out of gas a long time ago. he's been riding a fucking gravy train and raising a couple shithead entitled fuckwads of course it all came crashing down.

isn't that how most successful people become successful?

There's a different kind of etiquette in wrestling. This video is funny as fuck, but the backstory here is that Shawn Michaels lost to Hogan at Wrestlemania (or something), and in return, Hogan was supposed to lose to Michaels at Summerslam. Right before Summerslam, Hogan gave some sob story about his back acting up and didn't want to lose the match. So Michaels agreed to lose, but completely oversells the entire match. I wanted to embed a youtube clip, but they all suck. The most comprehensive version I found was on daily motion:

Oversellous - Video Dailymotion

Hulk Hogan seems to be a dick. Some people deserve fame and fortune, others do not.

Now that should fix all the problems in the black community! :thumbsup

Thanks for reminding me Hulk Hogan didn't die 5 years ago.

Really...who has Hulk Hogan on their culture radar these days?

This is serious business!! All you can do is make jokes!

He admitted "I'm a racist, to a point" So is everyone. I'm not a fan but feel for a guy who was video taped in his own home, without his knowledge, talking about his daughter.

The level of political correctness we now hold people to is horrible. We're one step away from thought police.

I agree, we are all racist, some more so than others. The problem is you can't say anything in this day and age without someone calling you a racist. Even if your comment was not racist to start of with but a fact.

Consider this comment below.

"You can take the thug out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of a thug". It can describe a person perfectly in the context of it but I'm sure people would somehow call it a racist remark because they would automatically assume it was directed at a black person even if it was describing white, hispanic, or misc individuals. :disgust

Just like calling someone "Trailer Trash" if they are white. People assume it's racist but I'm sure there are blacks, hispanics,etc.. living in trailer parks too.

The irony that a man who gets paid to beat people bloody on camera is fired for saying neeger.

What's going to happen next? Soldiers on the battlefield killing the enemy will be given a dishonorable discharge for saying neeger. A word does not make a person racist or hateful :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh Ignorant and in need of education, yet, but not an automatic racist or bad person. We all know this.

from what i've read the outburst had a lot of hate, not just saying hahahahahaha. if it was just saying hahahahahaha i can see the firing being knee-jerk but if it was as harsh as some say, i can *maybe* understand. i haven't seen the clip or read a transcript of it. but if it's not extremely hateful, then i tend to agree with tlcgirls, this is marketing and look for a hulk comeback.

If you're a politician in this climate and say "White lives matter" you'll be publicly apologizing :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

WWE might as well fire than candy ass Booker T too then. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh nailed it.

Here's the worst of it. Seems a bit harsh to be a marketing ploy.

"I mean, I?d rather if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I?d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player!

"I guess we?re all a little racist. Fucking n*gger."

It's about time.

Yeah he clung onto his "spot" for dear life back in the days and held others back. Best thing that happened to wwe was guys like him jumping ship to wcw. Let people like stone cold, the rock and mick foley shine. I was holding on to the very slim chance him and stone cold would have a match at mania. The match would have blowed but nostalgia wise it would have been epic seeing who got the biggest pop at the entrance. He will go back to TNA now i guesss

Thanks to the liberal retards that run rampant :2 cents:

Look at his face & of the woman when he realized he shouldn't be saying that on a kids show, funny as fuck :1orglaugh
