5 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (August 24)
4. Somebody Needs To Have A Word With Hulk Hogan...
...because the guy is a complete imbecile.
Making his first public appearance since his widely rejected "If you're going to call black men n*ggers, make sure you'e not being recorded lads" apology, Hogan teetered further close to the grave that he is digging himself in a burial plot next to Crow Sting.
On a recent appearance on the Apter Chat podcast, Hogan chatted yet more sh*t.
"I just hope the brotherhood can get back to the way it was. Outside the ring, you’re supposed to protect your brother. In this case, it’s a situation where 75, 80, 90 percent of the wrestlers are protecting me and they’re giving me another chance to move forward. There’s just a few wrestlers that kinda like don’t understand the bond and the brotherhood of wrestling."
What a dumbass. What an awful dumbass.
Without even considering the grim subtext that is "75, 80, 90 percent of the wrestlers" - "the white guys were fine with it, brother" - what the f*ck is he talking about? What was he expecting? The New Day and Titus O'Neil likely do understand the brotherhood of pro wrestling. "He vilified our people in the most grotesque manner imaginable, but we do the same job he used to do, and he is thus automatically forgiven?"
Just say you're sorry, acknowledge that you can understand why people were upset at your actions and lack of accountability for them, and shut up. It's not hard. Imagine trying to turn babyface after a racist tirade you didn't really apologise for.
That's Hogan for you.
