Hogan just because Booker T accidentally called you one doesn't mean you can go around calling everyone else one.

Hulk Hogan issued an apology, and I am willing to believe that he is in fact a different person today than years ago when he said those things. Still, the WWE was right to terminate his contract and remove all content of his from their site. It would also be a good idea for the WWE to remove Donald Trump from their website, as he is genuinely unapologetic about the statements he has made.

WWE displays massive hypocrisy, film at eleven

I'd imagine the only reason Trump is in the HoF at all is cuz Vince n' Trump are best buds. You don't see it as much today, but back in the early 90's and late 80's Trump would frequently visit the big PPV shows and they'd make a big hoopla of having Trump around. Hell, Vince is probably the reason they still keep around Micheal Hayes, Kevin Dunn, Jerry Lawler, and all the other old useless fogies. That being said, it's nice to see the fed actually react to something instead of sweeping it under the rug, it's a drop in the bucket, but it's a start. Raw's tomorrow, and I'm dying to see if they'll acknowledge it at all, or if the crowd does something stupid.

Also, as a wrasslin' fan, it's fuckin' weird seeing Hogan completely excised from history. There is precedent, with Benoit and all, but Hogan? It's like seeing DC erase Superman and pretend like nothing happened.

Quote:

Gilbert Arenas is banned from basketball again. Thankfully, there were no guns involved this time — unless you count the muscles he used to tote around a bunch of stuffed animals.

The former NBA player took his family to the Orange County Fair and started shooting lights out (still, no guns) on the basketball hoops. After loading up on prizes, the county fair told Arenas enough is enough, according to his Instagram post.

Pfft.

How exactly is that newsworthy? I don't know who published what you're quoting, but it seems pretty stupid. Apparently he was banned from basketball for a gun incident? Okay, but that doesn't make him showing off at a county fair and being asked to stop noteworthy in the slightest.

It's all fun and games until your car breaks down during siesta.

This makes him the first of the Wrestlemania 1 main event participants to die. The others were Hulk Hogan, Mr T, Jimmy Snuka, Paul Orndorff and Bob Orton Jr.
