Hogan Doesn't Know Best

If I could offer a piece of advice to the Hulkster… please, for the love of God, fuck off social media. Not on a permanent basis, mind you, but for the foreseeable future. At least until this whole thing blows over… which might take longer because of your constant retweeting of other comments that were designed to suck yo… wait, that’s an image nobody wants.

Seriously, though, Hogan’s retweeting people telling him he’s not a racist seems more like an attempt to cover up the fact that he really is. And for those wondering, I’m not implying that he is. I just want him off social media so he could deal with this behind closed doors. Sometimes, laying low and be silent is the best strategy to rehab the strained image.

Fun With Twitter

From the Twitter feed;

Funny how WWE shitcans Hogan for racist comments, yet HHH, who did a racist angle with Booker T at Wrestlemania, is still gainfully employed. Also, Vinnie Mac once shot similar racial slurs on WWE TV. Why don’t we give him the Benoit treatment too? Not to mention all them Hall Of Famers who have said much worse. Maybe we should get rid of them too. And hey, while everyone is distracted, why don’t we sneak in Chyna into the Hall? She might’ve done porn, but at least she isn’t racist.

“WWE has a zero tolerance policy on racism.” Right, that’s why Alberto Del Rio was fired while the racist who offend(ed) him still has a job. Don’t get me started on all them racist gimmicks over the years. MexiCools. Half-Blackface Piper. Muhammad Hassan. Puerto Rican Matadors. Saba Simba. Kamala. Repackaging a Latino wrestler into a white dude who says “If it ain’t white, it ain’t right.” The list goes on and on.

Yeah, so that was a thing.

VLOG – WWE Shitcans Hulk Hogan Over Comments

Because, you know, nobody associated in some capacity with WWE has done far worse… oh wait.

Whatever. I don’t care beyond this one video.

EDIT: TNA removed Hogan from their page… oops.

Hold On A Minute…

Been skimming through the Tubes and found clips of last night’s newest Total Divas thing and decided to check it out… I have to shudder at the the thought of Nikki Cena telling Red-Haired Lady that none of the Divas thinks of her as a wrestler… which is funny because that’s the kind of reputation that a lot of the Divas (including some name choices on this very program) has gotten for themselves. There’s a reason I used to ask the question, “Why do the Bella Twins still have jobs?” And it wasn’t in an attempt to be funny or start a meme.

Why is this show still on the air again?

For Those Who Cares… The WWE Announcers Guideline

This has been floating around for a while and I might have touched on this (or not.) But for any prospective wrestling announcers looking to work at WWE, here’s a helpful* set of guidelines. It’s actually a cool little find and an interesting look behind the mindset of WWE announcing that rarely gets proper exposure.
