Vince McMahon slammed for saying that Hulk Hogan was not racist

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon triggered a new controversy on social media after defending the late Hulk Hogan In a new documentary.

In the documentary, McMahon, 79, addressed the infamous racist racist diatribe of Hulk Hogan, defending the giant of the struggle and insisting that the 71 -year -old man was not an intolerant person.

For those who are not familiar, Hogan was at the center of a major scandal after a 2007 audio recording of him using the word N to describe his daughter’s black friend was disclosed to the public. In recording, Hogan could be heard that we are all “a little racist” before saying that he would prefer that his daughter will be a wealthy “N-Gger of a hundred million dollars” if she went out with someone in black.

After the incident, WWE cut bonds with Hogan, removing it from the WWE renowned temple. However, years later, the company restored the star of “Hogan Knows Best” and continued its employment relationship.

During the new TMZ documentary, “The Real Hulk Hogan”, McMahon weighed on the issue, trying to reframe Hogan’s inheritance. Despite the call of his “unforgivable” words, McMahon insisted that Hogan – the name of Rrey Terry Bollea – was not a bigot.

According to McMahon, Hogan was not a “racist”. The American businessman said he felt enough confident to make this statement because he had spent many years working with the WWE fighting champion.

“He was not racist,” he said. “He said racist things. He should pay for that, and he did it. In the end, I think everyone saw the real Hulk Hogan, Terry Bollea, and they felt:” Wait a minute, this guy does not act like a racist. He is not racist. “”

McMahon continued by saying that everyone deserves a chance to redeem themselves, regardless of the size of an error they made.

On social networks, the reaction to McMahon’s statements was fierce and critical, users slamming it for trying to crop the story surrounding Hogan’s famous audio recording.

“Of course, Vince would say that,” wrote someone, while another said, “as anyone believes a word, says Vince.” A third user struck and posted: “One of the racist things he told that he was racist.”

Someone else added: “A retardant cover for another.”

A fifth user shared an entirely different perspective, writing: “Terry Bollea was racist. Not Hulk Hogan. You can like the character of Hulk Hogan but in disagreement with Terry. What does this now count anyway?”

And McMahon is not the only public personality to rush to Hogan’s defense after his death. The actor and actor Michael Rapaport also rocked feathers after having told the listeners of his podcast that he had not “worked” about the “controversy of the legend of the struggle outside the ring”.

“I don’t care about his support [Donald] Trump, I don’t care what was controversial, we are not going to disrespect man with 18-inch pythons, “he said.” You forget as an adult, Sicko. Think of children. “”

Another basic WWE food, Kevin Nash, has echoed something similar in the July 28 episode of his podcast, saying “F -K” people who made his past several times.

“He’s not going to change anything now. It is sensationalism. It is:” You know, I never love him anyway. “Who gives an F -K?
