Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan reportedly has some issues with WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) owner Vince McMahon and his past usage of the N-word after losing his job this week.

According to reports, Hogan is upset by the fact Mr. McMahon publicly dropped the N-word in a 2005 WWE broadcast.

Hulk is outraged Vince is acting so self-righteous, condemning him for spontaneously using the epithet in private when the wrestling boss used it in a premeditated way, on TV and for profit. Several pro wrestlers like Virgil and George Foreman have to come to the Hulk’s defense, as well as his daughter. But a WWE rep says everyone recognizes the 2005 segment “was an outlandish and satirical skit involving fictional characters, similar to that of many scripted television shows and movies.” (TMZ)

The WWE issued a public statement to confirm its severed ties with Hogan yesterday (July 24).

“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.” (Statement)

Hogan appeared to address the matter on his Twitter page early Friday (July 24).

Hulk previously talked to G-Unit’s DJ Whoo Kid about being referenced with the N-word around rap stars like Game.

“And it’s still so cool, because 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*gga?’ and I said, ‘Oh, excuse me, bro!’ And he says, ‘No, it’s all cool,’” said Hogan.

  1. Vince may have been acting but you don’t have to see the clip to know what WWE is about. Booker T was definitely a World Championship Caliber of Wrestler yet, not even he was crowned champion over there. They can make excuses for why other Blacks didn’t hold the title but there’s no question that Booker was the total package. Great on the mic, great in the ring and huge pop from the fans. He’s also a good dude in general. If you remember Vince Russo put Hogan on blast back in the day. He said Hogan was basically cock blocking Booker T as champ. I guess we all know why now. Shame he went to WWE and got the same treatment.

    • Booker T was champion many times in WWE lol also the tag team champs are black right now and 1 of them is gay. Im sure wrestling was racist back in the day but it isnt now.

      • He was never THE Champion in WWE(i.e. the Face). You must be White. I can tell by your everything is fine now attitude.

        • Im mixed and a wrestling fan. From Wikipedia

          Booker is a six time world champion, having won the WCW World Heavyweight Championship five times and the (WWE) World Heavyweight Championship once.[4][13] He is the first non-mixed race African American to become a world champion in WWE,[14] and was voted the greatest World Heavyweight Champion of all time in a 2013 WWE viewer poll.[15] Booker has also gained notable success as a tag team wrestler, being a 15-time World Tag Team Champion between WCW (11 times), WWF/E (three times), and TNA (once). Additionally, he was the winner of the WWE King of the Ring tournament in 2006, the sixteenth WWE Triple Crown Champion and the tenth WWE Grand Slam Champion. As the ninth (and final) WCW Triple Crown Champion, Booker is one of five men in history to achieve both the WWE and WCW Triple Crowns.

          • Booker was never the champion of Champions in WWE. I don’t care what Wikipedia says. I would rather go off my actual watching of Wrestling. He was never “The Man”.

          • He held the world title not the wwe title. The wwe title is or was the most protégés title in the company. And black man has never held it. I’m a fan of wwe talent, but I refuse turn my eye to the racism, sexism and other fuckshit the company has portrayed. Not to mention the new day gimmick is some coon ass shit.

  2. Except Vince wasn’ stupid enough to get it on tape, plus he’s worth a bili so he can make it all go away even if it was. Seriously though, who was surprised by this. You could just look at how salty Hulk looked when Brooke was fucking that mixed dude. He’s a redneck.

  3. yo @liquidvisionz I know u must be like 12 but stop wit the “blacks are the most racist “bullsh*t ok,,,know what the hell your talking bout first b/c there aren’t many examples of blacks killing whites for being in their neighborhood,,or lynching ,,or denying jobs ,employment,,,housing based on being white,,or burning down white neigborhoods or burning crosses or shooting unarmed white people in the back w/government approval(police),,etc etc ,,,so shut the fuc* up and go read a book or something,,,racism aint about the N word or confederate flags dumb ass,,its deeper than that

  4. Vince got known prejudice guys on his staff right now. Michael Hayes. He was gonna let jerry Jarrett run his company if he went to jail,a guy who would call his black talent niggers are y’all serious. Hulk made his comments out of pure jealousy and anger not saying it’s right and his ass should get checked for it but he ain’t a racist. Now vince is a different story . he never had a black guy as wwe world champion aka the face of the company besides the rock who is mixed and more associated with his Samoan side and before clowns get to crying how often does obama get identified with his white side! Vince has talent paint themselves in black face for no reason, he let’s a white wrestler tell a black wrestler’s wife he wants to have beast sex with her. And do you think that muthafucka will let a black wrestler have a romantic seen with a white woman? Only time he did that was mark Henry with old ass Mae young and had him grab a white tranny’s penis. Triple h talked about people like booker t can never be champion and his hair and ask he’s there for is to entertain the white man and asked him to dance to entertain him smh vince call the shots he’s a prejudice muthafucka. Sorry for the book lley
