BHK1978 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 One good thing could come out of this for Hulk. He could run for President as a member of the GOP and I bet he would now be their frontrunner...either that or he could just wait and be Trump's Vice Presidential nominee.

Hive Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wow. I haven't followed wrestling news for a while and suddenly I come back to Hogan being not only fired by completely vanquished from the WWE for... saying the N-word. Wow. They have convicted rapists, wife-beaters, drug addicts and alleged murderers in the hall of fame... but a guy who drops the rather trivial N-word in a private conversation? CALL AN EXCORCIST, HE MUST BE POSSESED BY BEELZEBUB HIMSELF!!! I don't condone racism, but people need to calm the f... down and take a chill pill. This is outright ridiculous.

We don't need to get back into it, but given the fact that WWE is a publicly traded corporation, I don't fault them at all for getting out in front of this. We all know what the overwhelming public reaction is going to be (and has been) for the vile rants Hogan went on, private or not, are going to play in today's society. WWE is selling a product, no hate for them for cutting ties from someone who sponsors and the general public would crucify them for supporting/ employing. Trust me if tomorrow Video of Cena slapping Nikki around surfaced, Cena would get the same treatment so fast it would make your head spin. No one is above the $$ machine.

CQI13 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 What has been the overwhelming reaction been? I must be traveling in different circles because all I see is articles about the story, no commentary on it. And again, not to go back to the subject, but it seems as though people believe that because they are scrubbing someone from history, prejudice is no longer an issue. Did they scrub DeMott from history too? Or was the firing sufficient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I'm pretty sure WWE would go out of their way to throw money at the situation and keep it quiet. I mean look how much Steve Austin beating his wife hit the media....zilch. Cena is their cash cow and I'm pretty sure they would want to keep it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that came out, no amount of money would make that go away. It would be just like the NFL's situation with Ray Rice or Adrian Peterson: he would be vilified, and they would have to separate themselves. Cash cow or not, WWE would take a massive hit if they tried to stick up for Cena in that hypothetical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if they had been presented a way to keep Hogan's stuff quite and bury it, they would have thrown money at that as well. You honestly think it's in WWE's best interests from a money standpoint to have this come out about Hogan and have to cut ties? But the Gawker Lawsuit took that out of WWE's hands. It was already leaking, they had a choice to make, and they made the one in the best interests of the company and it's investors. It sucks, but that's how it goes.

liontamer Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 last time I mentioned seeing the reports he was leaving I was told Ziggler signed a new deal with WWE and saw the same in reports. Now I'm reading he's all but done and is in talks with TNA, Lucha underground and New Japan. I'm assuming the deal fell through or was a false report. And Miz is a terrible judge if this week indicates anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, America was much more tolerate of domestic abuse. In 2015, you wouldn't be able to get away with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that would have happen to a WWE Superstar or employee.. they would have not only gotten fired, but the "Men in Black" treatment, kinda like they are doing to Hogan right now. Its kinda funny that every sense WWE went PG-13, everytime someone makes a mistake and it makes news, no matter how major or minor... They are GONE. And not just them... but their ENTIRE LEGACY. Only a minor few can get away with it...**coughORTONcough** Hogan is just one of the many lists of casualites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember pulling your string but...for some reason I keep seeing you take shots at people...maybe you should change your name to lazortroll instead because you are obsessed with doing just that. Ok let me be more specific for the lazorbeaks of the world. They probably would cut checks to CNN...FOX NEWS...CNBC...and any other news outlet that would broadcast such a story. This would reduce this to only dirt sheets and we all know only trolls and smarks read those anyway. Anyway just now starting to catch Raw and I'm surprised with how far Tyson O'neal's mic skills has come. He could probably be a decent colour guy someday.

I think you took what Lazor wrote way too personal. It was a joking comment. I think the major news outlets not reporting on Austin's issues has more to do with wrestling fans not being the "target audience" for the likes of CNN, Fox News, and CNBC. If they thought it would bring in major ratings then they would've reported on it whether or not WWE paid them off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey look somebody else comes out of the dark to directly quote me but not take it personal. At least you have context behind what you are saying. But is it common for you to poke a bear when you see it's agitated? Anyways...I was pretty impressed with the Main Event of RAW! John earned a little bit of respect from me going all out in the match with a broken nose... Every bit of what JBL was talking about was true. The second your nose is broke your vision is screwed. You know I can tell John is taking the extra effort to break out of the 5 moves of doom and I'm glad because I actually look forward to his matches now. His character needs to step out of the 5 promos of doom and I can be fully behind the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-Nection Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Your absolutely right. I got 2 words for ya... .RAY RICE... Who is Ray Rice? Edit: Never mind I googled it and watched the knockout blow on the TMZ website. But honestly he doesn't have star power so of course he got thrown to the wolves. Millions of people know who John Cena is and WWE would be willing to protect their cash cow. Randy Orton is no where near as popular and his demons were protected.

Not because the WWE was writing checks to a bunch of media outlets post-XFL failure. What I said was pretty clearly a joke about how absurd the idea of a pro wrestling company paying off "the media" to not report a story. That's not how the news worked, then or now. The news makes stories out of the most basic storylines imaginable. Stone Cold hit Debra because steroids made him. Source: Sean Hannity, hard-hitting journalist(?) WWE forgot to bribe a few years down the road, when "the media" wanted to tell a story about steroid use: HANNITY: Was your husband violent? And do you attribute it to the use of steroids? MARSHALL: I tell you what. I know it was — contributed to the use of steroids, because I have seen the steroid rages. I have seen him being paranoid. I have seen his panic attacks. I mean, for three times, I'd seen him attack me — I mean, and at work people would know it, and they would cover the bruises on my face. Whoops, I guess their check bounced.

Here in the UK the more famous you are, the harder you fall. Not even the Royal Family can "buy" the media to stop them from printing a story.
