Hulk Hogan Should Not Have Been Fired From The WWE

This is not a joke post.  This is a very serious matter and I whole-heartedly believe that Terry Gene Bollea (Hulk Hogan) should absolutely not have been fired from World Wrestling Entertainment in the state that it is currently in.  That being said, I also whole-heartedly believe that everything Terry Gene Bollea (Hulk Hogan) said is just plain awful, it reflects poorly on his employer and any business in their right mind would have to fire him!  Perhaps I should explain.

This is Kamala, "The Ugandan Headunter."  He hailed from the "Deepest, Darkest Africa."  Kamala would not speak but he would grunt and make animal noises.  He even entered the ring with a spear.  This abomination of a character was the creation of Jerry "The King" Lawler.  You know him, he's the idiot who always wore a crown and thought the pile-driver was a decent finishing move.  Jerry "The King" Lawler is currently in the WWE Hall of Fame, Kamala is not... For obvious reasons.

Let's talk about another one of the WWE's proud hall-of-famers.  Jesse Ventura.  There's a lot that can be said about this man.  He's a conspiracy theorist nutjob, he's a terrible actor, he's also extremely racist.  Back in the 80's, Jesse Ventura was a commentator for the WWE.  At one point he commented on an interview with an African American wrestler, Junk Yard Dog.  Ventura thought that JYD was hard to understand so he said he had, "a mouthful of grits."  Ventura also referred to Santana, a Latino wrestler, as Chico and nicknamed his finishing move "The Flying Burrito." It got so bad that Vince McMahon himself had to step in and stop him.  When Vince McMahon tells you you're acting out of line, you really have to re-evaluate your life.  Jesse Ventura is still in the WWE Hall of Fame, Junk Yard Dog and Santana are not.

Not we move on to our worst offender, The Ultimate Warrior.  Now I know that The Warrior unfortunately passed away last year and I am not here to disrespect the dead but this is a story about intolerance in the WWE so this needs to be discussed.  At an appearance at the University of Connecticut, The Warrior told a gay student, "Take that object out of your mouth when speaking to me." But that wasn't the end of his homophobic tangent.  He also stated to the students, "Queering doesn't make the world work." He then played a video of himself tearing an Iraqi flag to pieces.  The Warrior is STILL in the WWE Hall of Fame.

What I'm trying to say is that intolerance  has always been a part of professional wrestling.  And these are just three examples, there are literally dozens more.  Firing Hogan and removing him from the Hall of Fame is wrong not because what he said is acceptable.  It's wrong because the WWE should not be able to have it's cake and eat it too.  This is like being thrown out of the KKK because you burned a cross on the wrong lawn.  If firing Hogan is the start in a LONG line of people being fired and removed from the Hall of Fame then I will take down this post and gladly eat my words but until then, enjoy this photo of Kamala and his manager Kim Chee.
