Hulk Hogan, You're an Idiot

            The Hulkster got caught. Whoops, I guess? He was secretly recorded on tape having sex with his buddy’s wife and oh yeah he doesn’t like African Americans so much. Idiot!! I feel bad for Hulk, because he’s become such a sad example of what he once was. ‘The Wrestler’ couldn’t have been any more spot-on. He’s grasping so hard at his former fame that he has no idea what he’s doing. He still wants to wrestle for fuck’s sake. I guess Hulk should have expected that his racist pillow talk would find it’s way into the world.
The WWE is doing whatever it can to erase Hogan from anything related to the WWE. I can’t blame them for being angry and firing him from his current role. Corporations don’t like bad P.R., especially racists.  Although, the WWE should’ve made sure the Vince McMahon/John Cena promo wherein Vince drops a N-Bomb was not readily available on the Internet.
There’s lots of legal wrangling left to come with this. The Hulkster is suing Gawker over the release of the sex tape. The contents of the tape were supposed to sealed by the court. Somebody talked. Hulk should’ve have known this would or could come out. Maybe it was too many chair shots. A lot of wrestling fans are destroyed by the news that their hero said what he said. I’ve always been lukewarm on Hogan. I always found Ric Flair, Bruiser Brody or Ricky Steamboat way more interesting. I was always annoyed how Hogan used his backstage power to determine whom he would wrestle.

Like I said, I feel bad for Hogan. He just lost a lifetime of good will he had earned, based on a private conversation, secretly video taped and released. He should have known better, he should have behaved better. But, for celebrities it’s important to remember, you can’t really trust a lot of people, so be careful which of your friend's wives you sleep with.
