I've got a feeling that give it a couple of years and a bunch of grovelling apologies brother, it might blow over.

Your probably right. This isn't like Bill Cosby, and in my humble opinion, this was something said in private, so who really cares. There was no crime committed, no one was hurt. This wasn't the worst thing by a long shot that Hogan has done in his life (I don't know what that may have been, but it wasn't that conversation.)
I don't know if the social attitude is the same in your neck of the woods, but people are such pansies over here, over completely nothing. This is comparative to the guy who owned the NBA team who had a similar leaked conversation and they tried to get him to sell his team (the success of the attempts I'm not sure of at this time.) Honestly, I hate the way that people will go after the livelihoods of people that said something not PC in their own houses. The NBA owner, Hogan, fuck, even Paula Dean.

Well Hogan did try to run The Rock over in a truck that one time, I think that was worse than calling him the n-word. Naitch, over here some professor dude at some university made some dumb joke at a conference (to the effect of "women shouldn't get jobs in the sciences because they will distract the men"), and social media blew up and he lost his job. www.theguardian.com/education/2015/jun/11/nobel-laureate-sir-tim-hunt-resigns-trouble-with-girls-comments. There just never seems to be any nuance in the outrage industry. A measured response to that situation would have been to give him a bollocking, let him give an apology and then get over it. Put him on a sensitivity course, whatever. It wasn't so heinous that he should have lost his job. That wasn't even a famous rich person either. I think what Hogan said was really shitty, and he deserves some stick for it. I don't even blame the WWE for dropping him. But god, it's not the end of the world. I mean, Donald Trump made some remarks recently that were a lot worse and that is a guy running for the highest office in the world. I find that a lot more troubling than some old wrestler being a twat. |

Shorty after Hulkamania dies, Roddy Piper kicks the bucket. I do think that this was put on by him and Dusty Rhodes and than Jimmy Hart put a hit out on them. I'm going to guess that Brutus Beefcake and The Nasty Boys did it. I'm going to guess this will lead up to a show down behind a Walmart with them and The Bushwackers and Jake Roberts.

Crazy couple months. Hogan is an idiot. I wasn't so shocked about dusty. But Piper upset me. For some reason I expected him to be telling bad jokes on raw 10 yrs from now.
