10 Bridge Burners You Will Never See In WWE Again
5. Hulk Hogan
Hogan didn't necessarily burn his bridge - but he carelessly discarded the match.
It was around this time last year that the nasty side of Hogan came to public light through Radar Online. Speaking privately, Hogan bemoaned his daughter's relationship with an African American man, stating candidly that "if she was going to f*ck some n*gger, I'd rather her marry an 8 foot tall n*gger worth a hundred million dollars". Hogan is notoriously protective of Brooke - so much so that a reality TV series was based on their at times unseemly relationship.
He might have been able to hoodwink the public by claiming this was an out of character moment, but he was then recorded as literally saying "I mean, I am a racist".
This is one of the more contentious entries on this list. If Hogan isn't the Babe Ruth of WWE, he at the very least is carved permanently into its Mount Rushmore. His in-ring days are over, but he could still make Vince some coin in a promotional capacity.
But, despite engineering a small amount of goodwill by legdropping the risibly invasive Gawker blog, Hogan's face is too inextricably linked with ugliness and hatred for PG, image-conscious WWE to use as their representative.
