What you see, is what you get
I done seen shyt on IG about Hogan and then I seen a bunch of bs in the comment section of YouTube of idiots taking up and making bs excuses trying to rationalize Hogan being a racist.
A lot of these folks on these apps done told on themselves.

A lot of people are seeing the hate and vitriol and thinking about how they will be remembered. A lot of racists seeing Hogan getting trashed and it triggers them on personal level because it makes them feel like a bad person as well.
I had to do this;
I don't hate Hulk Hogan as much as everyone else--I just don't have the energy for the muh'fukka.
But, I went and got info to cut out the idea that if he didn't exist, wrestling wouldn't be want it is, today.
McMahon Jr. made wrestling more national and centralized.
Hogan was on his last leg when he joined the NWO.

Man, it's gonna be worst when Vince go.
But, what's fukked up is that the Bubba the love sponge tape wasn't even the worst thing he said about Black people.
New article, but, I heard about the stuff about his jail calls to his son leaking like last year.
Then a reddit post ran me into this tweet.
Hulk didn't just spill up and say "N&gger" because his daugther dated a breh, he hated black people on a deep level.
And his "apology" ain't enough for a lot of people.
I stop the line at cheering on his death
OJ did that shytIt's not the internet, it's Hogan himself in his own words. The audio clips are widely available in this thread.
If you are Black and are genuinely not offended by him referring to Black people as ******s, then what can I say?
But you can't be that dumb to not understand why many Black people refuse to pay tribute to an anti-Black racist.
White people had celebration parties when OJ Simpson died. This was 30 years after the breh was found not guilty of murder.
If it's good for them to celebrate a Black celebrity's death, then Hogan is fair game.

My Black Card verified.That no mustache, lemme finally go to black churches when I get knocked for killing my wife, "I'm not black, I'm OJ" got one of the best breaks in damn human history when Johnny caught Furhman red handed being racist.
I got a degree in Criminal Justice and understand the chances of OJ not killing Nicole with all evidence (including a history of beating her ass) vs. some random serial killer, a mob hit or OJ's son 
.
All that shyt you typed and still

What you see, is what you get
I ain't taking up for Hogan but for what Vince & Hogan did on the business side those numbers posted are probably peanuts in comparison to the type of money WWF was drawing from the mid 80's up until the early 90's. Vince didn't own WWF until the Spring of '83.

Cornette is shocked that HOEgan is getting so much vitriol, keep in mind he acts like Mercedes is the worst person to ever exist in the wrestling business.

You forgot to add Nicole wanting him back and OJ deciding she wasn't worth it

It’s so disappointing to see so many black wrestlers like Mark Henry, The Rock, Elijah Burk use that lame ass excuse these kkkrackas been vomiting up “Well Hulk made some mistakes, but I’m gonna go with love instead of hate, THANKS HULK!”

Did y’all peep Michael Rappaport giving Hulk Hoegan a pass for his racism? The same Michael Rappaport who had a meltdown about Kanye West anti-semitism?
