    Re: Hulk Hogan Has Been Fired From the WWE and Will Not Appear in WWE 2K16

    Let's bring this all back to focus.
    A. Hogan made inappropriate statements

    B. He was fired

    C. It was justified

    We are beating a dead horse. No matter what you think, we can agree you can't me saying what he said, period. It doesn't matter whether he was home or out in public. His privacy was violated which is a separate issue. Chris Benoit has nothing to do with this and nor do the Redskins. This is a man who made terrible comments and got fired. Like I have said already I would have lost my job and so would most of you if you said what he said and got caught. Bottom line end of story

      It doesn't say that at all, it says that they think closet racism is worthy of being erased. They might have thought double-murder & suicide deserved much more but there was nothing else they could do. Basically if a 6 gets you erased, Benoit was a 10 and there just aren't penalties past 6

        Re: Hulk Hogan Has Been Fired From the WWE and Will Not Appear in WWE 2K16

        Let me start by saying what Hogan did is Wrong. No denying that at all. Here is where i have an issue with how it is being handled. You Fire Hogan for using words in his Own Home. Now as we ALL can agree there are probably things we have said in our homes, Hopefully not like what Hogan said, that we Wouldnt want the outside world to hear.

        My Biggest issue with it ALL is that Stone Cold is on the Cover of WWE2k16 and he has been Convicted of Domestic Violence. It was said by Stone Cold's wife at the time Debra, that it was because of Roid Rage. Now the same could be said for Hogan as we all KNOW he used the Roids. Just seems to say its ok to beat up women just dont get caught saying anything on Tape.

        Also what about all of the guys who still are/were employed by the WWE who were arrested for DUI's. I guess it is ok since they didnt kill anyone while driving.

        I agree that the Punishment should be given for what Hogan said, but i dont feel it should be as Severe as the Punishment the CRIMES committed above.

            So A) You've heard worse than what Hogan has said thus far on WWE tv? Please, enlighten the rest of us on this. I'm dying to see this.

            And B) What do the Washington Redskins have to do with this? If you really like Hulk Hogan, that's fine, but come on with this dude. Maybe you haven't been paying a whole lot of attention to the story, but there's a WHOLE LOT of people that have problems with the Redskins name, but the owner of the team is the only one that can change it and he ain't budging. Pretty much the only group of people I've seen "defending" the Redskins are Redskins fans and even their fanbase is divided over the issue. Bottomline, get out of here with that nonsense comparison.
            Have you never watched any WWE programming from 1997-present. Everything they do is offensive to someone. I am not defending Hogan using that word, no one ever should use it. But for the WWE to act like they have morals, is absolutely hilarious to me.

            I can't stand Hulk Hogan and people on this actual forum are the ones who brought up the Redskins. Maybe you should actually read more than just my comment before responding. Read the one below mine about Stone Cold, read the ones about Chris Benoit. There have been far worse things committed by WWE wrestlers that they never even cared about.

              Some people around here don;t like when you mention all the past transgressions the WWE has conveniently looked past. There have been Wrestlers who have committed domestic violence, murder, rape, countless DUI's, fraud and a whole bunch of other crimes. For most of those Vince didn't so much as bat an eye lash. To me there is something bigger than Vince pretending to have morals, there is some serious money involved. The only time the WWE cares is when there is money involved.

                I dont get your point. So when WWE got word of Hogan's comments, McMahon shouldve said "Yeah, Hogan called himself a racist and used the N word but we had Kamala and Akeem back in the 80's so who are we to judge"?

                The WWE has a ****ed up past when it comes to race but that doesnt mean they arent justified in firing an employee for being an admitted racist.

                  And I never said he shouldn't be fired I agree with them firing him. What I don't agree with is so many people on here and other media outlets praising the WWE as if they haven't been one of the most racist organizations over the past few decades. I also don't buy into Vince actually deciding to fire him, I think it was more sponsors that stepped in and if they didn't Vince would have done the usual thing and swept it under the rug.

                    Whether he said them in his home or not doesnt matter at all. The minute the tape leaked the comments became public knowledge and reflected negatively on WWE. Where he made the comments no longer mattered after that.

                    WWE didnt have a domestic violence policy when Stone Cold was charged back in 2004. The only recent domestic violence incident since WWE instituted the policy was Kevin Nash when he got in a fight with his son and Nash was temporarily suspended when that occured until the facts came out that it was a mutual fight.

                    People dont usually lose their jobs for DUIs but they do lose them for being one of the faces of the company and saying racist/sexist/homophobic things.

                      Who exactly is praising WWE? As usual, they've been getting ripped both ways.

                        You need to have a policy to know that domestic violence is bad? Public figures can and do lose their jobs for DUI's.

                          You just made my point for me. What Stone Cold did was in 2004. What Hogan Said was 2006. BOTH are faces of the Company. Both did things in the PAST, but yet Hogan gets fired and Stone Cold has a Podcast and is on the Cover of WWE 2k16?

                          And yes people lose their jobs for DUIs. Maybe not in the Sports/Entertainment world but in the Real World they do.

                          In what WORLD does saying something ACTUALLY Hurt someone WORSE than Physically Assaulting someone? Not in My world. BOTH are VERY wrong, and i am not defending ANYONE. I just feel that If we are going to FIRE people for things they did in the Past it needs to be Held to the SAME Standard for EVERYONE.

                            No one is patting WWE or saying they're a great company. At least I'm not. This is about a racist making terrible comments and getting what's deserved.

                              Stone Cold is a jerk, the DUI's are wrong. But this isn't about them. It's about Hulk Hogan and what he did. This is what the thread is about.

                                Correct. I am just asking where is the Thread titled? "Convicted Wife Abuser will be on the Cover on WWE 2k16" There was no outrage over this or anything.

                                On a side note, I love Stone Cold and Hogan for what they brought into the WWE Rin and Arenas, Not what they do outside of the Ring.
