WWE Fires Hulk Hogan Over Old Radio Interview Where He Went on Racist Tirade!

Okay this is old news, I remember when it first happened and very few people got their panties in a bunch over it. I remember that I stopped liking Hogan over it. But thank God, this is a new world and celebrities are held accountable for their racist actions. "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." Thank you WWE for standing up and doing what is right. I am very proud of you for that.

Hulk Hogan has a troubled past when it comes to racial insensitivity. During a radio interview on Sirius XM's Shade 45 in 2012, Hogan repeatedly used the N-word, first in recounting when rival wrestler Booker T famously called him that before a match. Then it gets really insensitive. The conversation then veers to Hogan's time living in Miami, which was partially chronicled on Hulk's gone-but-not-forgotten reality show, Hogan Knows Best.

"The whole time I was down in Miami when I lived there, you know, everybody — I'd walk into the [DJ] booth and all of a sudden I'd bump into this guy and The Game’s in the booth, it’s all black and he’s got his BlackBerry, and I bump into him and he goes, 'What’s up, n---a?' and I said, 'Oh, excuse me, bro!' And he says, 'No, it's all cool,'" Hogan said.

He continued: "And everybody down there — Lil Wayne, Birdman — they’re all calling me 'n---a,' and then I started sayin’ it. And I always said it, but now all of a sudden I get heat when I say it, and they say, 'Hogan, you can’t say that,' so I say, 'Why can they say it to me then?'"
