Constantly nagging about something! Actually, I've casually followed Terry the Hulk Boulder since he used to live in a trailer park owned by a friend's dad, in Enterprise, Al.
He went on to the big time. Fired for saying the "N word" in an interview in 2012? Why do I have to even type "N word" when I'm thinking the actual word? I can type motherfucker on here but I can't type what the N word actually means, which is ridiculous. Our motherfucking president said nagger with an I, or maybe it was nagger with an I and an "ah" on the end. That makes it cool. But if I type it on here, it's uncool?
Regardless, I've heard the "N word" enough and I don't get off by using it. But, I should be able to say and or type it without having to worry about future jobs and/or being fired. It's a word. We are supposed to live in a "free speech" society but this one word is policed to an extent above all others. It is ridiculous that the president can say it in a speech but white people can't even think about saying nagger with an i.
We've come to this. The company probably just didn't want to have to put up with Al and Jesse. Regardless, they caved. I'm not a huge fan of rasslin anymore even before this. I just don't like this firing based on this 3 year old interview.

WWE has cut ties with Hulk Hogan after audio from a 2012 radio interview surfaced in which the wrestler repeated used the n-word.
In a statement obtained by TheWrap, the company said, “WWE terminated its contract with Terry Bollea (aka Hulk Hogan). WWE is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers and fans worldwide.â€
Hogan tweeted about the incident late Thursday night, saying, “In the storm I release control,God and his Universe will sail me where he wants me to be,one love.â€
Hogan came under fire after it was revealed he used the racial epithet several times during a radio interview with DJ Whoo Kid in 2012.
“Well, Booker T used to do that to me, and every time I pull up YouTube there’s that famous thing with Booker T and his brother is there and they’re all talking trash, and Booker T says, 'I'm coming for ya Hogan, you [n-word],' and not 'n---a,' he goes '[n-word]'," Hogan said.
He used the term several more times, and asked why it’s OK for black people to use the term but not him.
The WWE has already removed most mentions of Hogan from its website and stores. This comes at a particularly bad time for Hogan, who is currently engaged in a $100 million lawsuit against Gawker over the release of a sex tape featuring the wrestler.
Hogan is one of the most popular wrestlers in history, with “Hulkamania†ruling over WWE programming during the 1980’s and early 1990’s. He won the WWE World Heavyweight Championship six times during his career, most recently in 2002. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame 2005.
