10 Awkward WWE WrestleMania Moments That Still Make Us Cringe

4. WrestleMania IX: Hogan's Racial Slur

Hulk Hogan is a man who, to put it mildly, has struggled with racial sensitivity over the years. A classic example happened back in 1993 at WrestleMania IX.

WrestleMania IX featured Hogan cutting a promo in which he challenged the winner of an upcoming match between Bret Hart and Yokozuna. During the interview, the Hulkster would go on to say, "That’s why right now, Bret Hart, I’m issuing the challenge to either you or the J*p!"

In truth, simply using the term 'J*p' would be enough to justifiably make most folks feel a bit uneasy when watching this segment. That being said, following the controversial comments the former champ would go on to make in 2012, the promo is even harder to watch.
