Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 That has to be the oddest cast of characters ever put together for one of these. Tugboat, Outback Jack and Dynamite are totally out of the blue. He usually brings over the Nasties and Koko B Ware for stuff like this. I'm not going, but I can see the appeal of getting ignored by Dynamite Kid and looking at Outback Jack's glass eye. What's odd is, Hogan's prices both in the States and over here dont reflect a man who has been caught being racist. Business is oddly booming for him at the minute, which is either very surprising or very typical depending your opinion on wrestling fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 He usually brings over the Nasties and Koko B Ware for stuff like this. I could see there being something of an issue with at least one of those names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Linus Posted September 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 Ugh, a dedicated thread to An Evening With A Racist Shit. All these events are sanitised hagiographies for people who barely deserve it and attended by people who should know better. This one will be all that AND a celebration of a lying bigot. Woohoo! I'm usually a little easier on this kind of thing but it's about time wrestling stopped giving second, third, fifth, eleventh chances to these pieces of shit. When wider society is expressing its racism through attitudes to "immigants", the last thing we need is actual, admitted & caught racists getting any kind of east ride.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted September 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 I hope those black blokes that throw bricks at Dynamite's windows (that Bret Hart spoke of in his book) dont show up for this. "fookin' niggers did it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon-Carr_92 Posted September 15, 2015 Share Posted September 15, 2015 Does the list of other wrestlers appearing look like he flicked through the WWE Encyclopaedia and stopped on who ever his finger landed on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members herbie747 Posted September 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wow - some cunt promoter with absolutely no morals or integrity. Not surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted September 15, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2015 Wow - some cunt promoter with absolutely no morals or integrity. Not surprised. There are few people in wrestling who make money and possess these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Business is oddly booming for him at the minute, which is either very surprising or very typical depending your opinion on wrestling fans. Come on man, he's shed a tear, made an apology and even posted photos of himself with black folk on his Facebook page. It's time to move on.

kostan Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Why all the hating? To many Hulk Hogan is a (childhood) hero. Without him most of us wouldnt be watching wrestling today. And for the younger fans, without him chances are that there wouldnt be a WrestleMania and you probably would never have heard of WWF/ WWE.

WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's not about his hero status or what he did for the industry. It's the fact that he has been outed as a massive racist and someone, whoever the promoter is, has jumped at the chance to try and make a quick buck for themselves knowing that Hogan is in full-on work mode (I.e. His only mode) to try and prove otherwise. Coupled with the fact that Hogan is a pathological liar, you can't believe a word that he utters Paul McCartney is a hero to slot of people, but if he suddenly told Stevie Wonder to go back to bongo bongo land, his reputation would be in tatters no matter what he did for the music industry. Chris Benoit was a hero to some people, but despite everything he did in his career it doesn't change the fact that he murdered his wife and a young child.

MoKonjic Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 It's not something that surprises me, a lot of people just won't give a shit. They will hold onto there morals until they get in the way of doing something they want to do. Look at amount of people that pay to see Mayweather and the love Tyson gets.

I'm glad somebody's finally got to the real issue at heart here. It's like when I hear Germans who are ashamed of Hitler just because he caused a war and gassed some jews. I'm like "Herr, you wouldn't have had strong economic recovery without Adolf, why the hate?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
