World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc. has erased nearly all references to the wrestler Hulk Hogan from its main website, reportedly due to an audio tape soon to be released by the National Enquirer in which Hogan (real name: Terry Bollea) can be heard referring to black people as “blacks.”

So that's racist? Pathetic...

Why are people so shocked what the WWE did?

Any smart business owner is going to separate themselves from potential or perceived racism. WWE doesn't care really what he said. They care about losing advertising, sales, etc, which translates to losing money. That's what it comes down to.

I have a feeling that there's maybe more motive for WWE's decision. This one incident may just have been the final nail in the coffin.

While Nick the son was in prison for the car crash that left his buddy a vegetable, an audio tape of Hulk talking with Nick on the jail's phone was leaked. In it, Hogan not only showed no concern or remorse for the victim, but can even be heard telling Nick, "Maybe we can get a TV deal out of this!"

A few years after that was a messy divorce in which many harsh allegations against Hulk were made public. Regardless if true or not, they did not boost his image.

Shortly after the divorce came the sex tape - nothing positive about that.

Or, maybe Hogan's choice of vocabulary was the sole catalyst for his release. Racism is an issue that is publicly hotter than ever in light of recent events such as those in Baltimore and South Carolina.

Either way, being a publicly traded company with shareholders already distressed over plummeting stock values, WWE's recent decision only seems logical.

Are you high?
He said the following:

“I don’t know if Brooke was f*cking the black guy’s son,” Hulk raved, the sources add.

“I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*cking n*ggers. But then when it comes to nice people and sh*t, and whatever.”

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

“I guess we’re all a little racist. Fucking guy.”

The most pathetic thing is that he apologized. Be a man and own it... too much to ask of these pussies, I know.

true, but when it comes to Hulk Hogan, they are going to lose far more money by NOT offering his merchandise for sale than by keeping him and having a few people not buy his stuff (which I think is unlikely). most people don't care what he said 7 years ago.
