1. Hulk Hogan

We all knew that people within WWE Management are kissing the *sses of their shareholders but this is going way too far.
Sure times have changed in America and there are many Political Correctness movements out there these days, but firing Hogan in the summer of 2015 for a ‘racial slur’ that he said in 2008 is the purest form of hypocrisy ever.
To actually understand the situation, you have to know all the details, as Hogan was having s*x with Bubba The Love Sponge’s wife (Bubba even requested it himself as he’s a legitimate pervert), before their bedroom talk was secretly recorded without Hulk’s knowledge.
Let’s also consider that this was a time when Hogan went to a dirty divorce with Linda and his son Nick was in prison after a car accident, so Hulk was heavily under the influence of Anti-Depression medication, and even wanted to kill himself in those days, which Laila Ali, the daughter of Boxing Legend Muhammad Ali and Hogan’s co-announcer on American Gladiators, managed to talk him out of.
That’s when he said a few bad things about a black guy, his daughter Brooke Hogan was dating at that time, and even dropped the N-bomb during his rant.
Keep in mind, this was a private bedroom conversation, secretly recorded without his knowledge and certainly against his will, and the only reason the audio tape leaked was when Hulk Hogan sued Gawker, the dubious grunge website that showed his illegally recorded s*x tape.
Hulk Hogan and WWE parted ways on July 24 2015.
Thank god, now that a few months have gone by, 99.99% of all Wrestling Fans have either forgiven him or weren’t even offended to begin with.
Let’s see it this way, unless you’re a legitimate angel who never makes any mistakes, ALL OF US have said very harsh things about someone else in a private conversation before, not talking about racial slurs of course, but despite popular belief they aren’t the only “harsh” insults out there and they aren’t the worst of them all either.
In this situation it was clearly just trash talk and the Hulkster couldn’t be any less of a so called “racist”, i mean seriously, the guy has a lot of close personal real life friends who happen to be black, and not just them but also many black Wresters, former Wrestlers & other sports celebrities of the past and present, came to his defense.
He made a mistake by saying something stupid in private, so what? All of you out there have made the mistake of saying something stupid in private before. Period.
WWE had to take actions right away because they’re a publicly traded company on New York Stock Exchange and report to their shareholders, nobody questions that … but it was in 2008, so the Hulkster should be reinstated by now, or at least in time for WrestleMania 32 as he already got punished more than enough for this entire scandal, completely exaggerated by the media.
In a recent interview Triple H said that they’re open to hire him back in the future, so who knows, we might see Hulk Hogan back on WWE TV again rather sooner than later, especially after the low TV-ratings during the last couple of weeks.
