There was so much build up for Sting's one match. They have to have him return to the ring.

Anyway, I am not a big Undertaker fan.

If they do the rumoured Summerslam tag match it'd be one of the only not-terrible ways to see him in the ring.

They had to load the Wrestlemania one up with so much bullshit because there's no way he can just work an entertaining match at this point. A tag match would also cover up the fact that he can't really wrestle any more since you can just have him come in for the big finish after Reigns (or Reigns and Ambrose) do all the actual wrestling.

I can understand what you mean. Big names like Sting or Hulk Hogan can bring viewers even if they do very little in a match.

Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker will tear each other apart at Summerslam. I still think Brock Lesnar is walking away with the win.

He almost has to unless they plan on having a DQ ending to get a rematch out of them. Taker and Lesnar are both just attractions for selling tickets and PPVs right now. But Lesnar does work a lot more often and they need to keep his attraction status protected.

If he loses clean to Taker, it hurts that facade of him being the unconquerable beast. Hell, they wouldn't even let golden boy Cena beat him clean, it took an extreme rules environment for him to get his ONE win.

Normally I'd agree, but if Taker is retiring at WM32 it would make sense to have him going in on a win rather than a loss.

If he actually retires... Hell, maybe the plan is for him to retire before mania, then he'll be the top HOF inductee this year.

It will be nice to never have to see Grandpa Undy in the ring again. Now people can actually win at Wrestlemania, instead of having to job to him year after year.

See WWE has blacklisted Hogan?

All references to him gone from the website, all his merch removed from the store.

No confirmation yet, but rumour is racist tirade.

Kurt Angle wants to face Daniel Bryan for his last match. His TNA contract ends around January 2016 so there's a slim chance that could happen.

Its from an interview like 3 years ago where he was talking about how a bunch of black wrestlers would call him n***r (Booker T and a couple others). So it just became part of the way they talked to each other and Hogan started using the word with them, and somehow thought it was okay for him to use the word. The interview was kind of about how he got heat for using it at the time and he was even apologetic about it all. Never used it as a derogatory term. Seems WAY blown out of proportion, but that's the world we live in.

Ah, yeah that would be hard to defend, jesus fuck. I read the original report at http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/07/24/report-wwe-scrubs-all-mentions-of-hulk-hogan-in-wake-of-controversial-n-word-audio.html wich has since been updated with the comment you mentioned.

Yeah, here's what The Enquirer reported:

In a joint story that they broke with RadarOnline.com, the Enquirer claims that Hogan made numerous racist remarks on the tape with Clem including:

About his daughter Brooke he is quoted as saying, ”She is making some real bad decisions now. My daughter Brooke jumped sides on me. I spent $2-3 million on her music career, I’ve done everything like a jackass for her. The one option Brooke had, Brooke’s career besides me, is [to] sell beach records."” They claim Hogan was mad because a "black billionaire guy" had offered to fund her music career. They then quoted Hogan as saying, “I don’t know if Brooke was f*****g the black guy’s son. I mean, I don’t have double standards. I mean, I am a racist, to a point, f*****g n*****s. But then when it comes to nice people and s***, and whatever."” They claim he later said, "I mean, I’d rather if she was going to f*** some n*****, I’d rather have her marry an 8-foot-tall n***** worth a hundred million dollars! Like a basketball player! I guess we’re all a little racist. F*****g n*****.”

Once that got to WWE, boom, gone. This is from the sex tape. They claim there's more damaging stuff on there too. Beyond the vileness of what he said, there's the stupidity of filming it, knowing he was being filmed and saying it. I almost said suing Gawker because that's where this is coming from the court documents, but honestly? Once the tape was out, even if he did nothing, he was fucked. He's admitted he said this stuff and apologized but....forget it, career over. Paula Dean was destroyed just by admitting she'd used the n-word in her life, here you've got a whole racist rant.

Damn, I was really hoping that Hogan would stick around for a while with his latest run. He seemed to finally accept his role as a traveling legend and goodwill ambassador.

Another question is if he'll start getting the Benoit treatment on the WWE Network. Will that area mention his name?

Is the WWE gonna stop using the iconic body slam footage?

Hulk Hogan is the biggest name in Wrestling. I don't give a crap what name he called anybody. What the hell is wrong with people today?

While i don't care if he said the n word (Vince has said it, Booker T has said it, many others have said it) it's actually pretty funny seeing how mad you are over all of this.

Then again, this is just goes to show how thin skinned society is nowadays where they fire and erase a legend just for saying one word, Benoit i could kind of understand why they erased him, while he was an accomplished wrestler he wasn't as famous nor important as Hulk Hogan which makes the treatment he's receiving seem even worse.

I get sick and tired of seeing people's career being ruined by something stupid they said years earlier. If WWE wants to be dumb, let Hogan go back to TNA.

Apparently you'll be able to play as The Terminator in WWE 2K16.

Kevin Owens will fight Randy Orton tonight for the first time. Kevin Owens needs a big win tonight.

I just read about it. I'm still stunned. Guy was cancer-free as of last November and seemed healthy and poised to remain around for a long time. Sucks that he just went so suddenly and left behind so many loved ones. Goes to show that you never know when it'll be your time to die.

R.I.P. Piper. I'll never forget your match with Bret Hart at Wrestlemania VII or your amazing work in They Live.

RIP Hot Rod. Say "Hi!" To Dusty for me :)

RIP Hot Rod.

God... SummerSlam is 4 hours this year, that means i'll have to stay up until it's 5 in the morning in my country.
