Support NeoGAF

[L Thammy]

I was going to say that maybe he could start with donating a bunch of money to appropriate charities if he's sincerely sorry, but then I looked at Wikipedia and it claims he nearly got bankrupted by divorce, so maybe not? Is he rich again yet?

Did he have a stroke writing this? Shit, did I have a stroke reading this?

Wrestling terminology is actually pretty fun stuff, Hogan aside:

[Laz-E-Boy]

"not that person"

Isn't he a Trump supporter?

 

[legacyzero]

"Racism is 99% ok because he did a thing i like"

I literally didn't say that. Stop it.

 

[Slayven]

I literally didn't say that. Stop it.

I dunno man.. He said a dumb racist thing, sure. But he's almost redeemable for single-handedly destroying GAWKER.

Almost.

how else is that to be taken?

 

[PSqueak]

Did he have a stroke writing this? Shit, did I have a stroke reading this?

No, he's just basically using too much wrestling lingo that it becomes impossible for outsiders to understand.

It's been explained here in gaf many times, but i forget how exactly it goes.

Huh, looks like it. Burn it down, brother.

Ok, maybe he’s not that person anymore

He’s worse

Shocking, he is still a piece of shit.

A twist worthy of m.night shyamalan

 

[BobTheFork]

Not saying it's fine, just that he's gotten a disproportionate amount of grief after he's repeatedly apologized for it and basically been blacklisted from WWE for 2 years. The tape was recorded over ten years ago.

You've got to forgive people at some point.

They have to apologize or show remorse first.

What a lovely way of putting the burden on everyone except the person who said it.

 

[RinsFury]

Is he rich again yet?

He had a huge settlement (tens of millions) against Gawker, not sure how much of that he saw, but I'm sure even racist Hulk can demand six figures per appearance.

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

You musta been living under a rock somewhere becuase Hogan got caught, had recorded tape and audio come out, got fired, got into the Gawker trial over this, got Gawker shut down. All years ago.

I mean I figured it would happen because there wasn't any reason to necrobump the old thread, but this was huge news back in 2015.

You missed the obvious Dwayne Johnson joke! You totally Billy Gunn'd that one.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Nobody with a right mind could possibly buy this bullshit apology.

 

[Zach]

Goodnight, FANS and foolish suckers without a life who don't realize it's a storyline when the actors are acting out the storyline and then you, the foolish suckers, get upset thinking something is real, when in fact it is a storyline, suckers.

 

[Slayven]

Nobody with a right mind could possibly buy this bullshit apology.

Bigot apologies are less than worthless. Cut a check or put some time in, then we can talk about some redemption.

 

[legacyzero]

how else is that to be taken?

Let me help.

"He's irredeemable, but thank for taking down that one shitty website on the internet"

EDIT Typo

 

[L Thammy]

I literally didn't say that. Stop it.

I figure that you in particular should be trying to understand people's reactions rather than getting defensive after your last ban, but do what you're going to do, I guess.

 

[Slayven]

Let me help.

"He's irredeemable, but that's for taking down that one shitty website on the internet"

Now if you said that at first i could understand. But it is different then the original post.

He said a dumb racist thing, sure. But he's almost redeemable for single-handedly destroying GAWKER.

Your original post posited that he was almost redeemable simply for taking down gawker, that dehumanizing black people was a fine trade off for getting rid of one site.

 

[BFIB]

Him and Trump have a lot in common when it comes to their daughters.

Him being a Trump supporter makes a lot of sense.

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

That milkshake's been out so long it spoiled

lmao

 

[Syder]

Yikes, another milkshake duck.

Are you fucking kidding me? Ughhhhhh I hope it isn't true

“Lemme shoot that taint for ya, sister!”

 

[Jerm411]

Hogan can come back only if all of the following Raw is just three hours of New Day beating his ass down

Can you imagine the promos...

"Lemme tell ya something ni......BROTHERS!!!"

 

[Brakke]

I mean. The thing that was bad wasn't that he said the n-word. It wasn't some casual slip. He said the n-word a bunch of times in the context of being supremely racist, all disappointed that he daughter wasn't at least fucking a big basketball n***** if she was gunna stoop so low as to fuck a n**** at all.

My post was misunderstood. I called it out.

You cut off the final word of the post.

"almost"

My post wasn't meant to celebrate him. Sorry if you took it that way.

 

[Earthbound64]

Yikes, another milkshake duck.

...

Are you fucking kidding me? Ughhhhhh I hope it isn't true

You hope it's not true that the word isn't in his vocabulary anymore?...

 

[Slayven]

remember he wasn't just saying it in the gawker tape, he said it in a phone conversation with his son in jail he knew was record. He tried to egg his son into saying it, but he was like "nah pop that ain't right"

 

[Linkura]

Nah, anyone who had these kinds of rules for his restaurant is racist as shit.

 

[old manatee]

Nah, anyone who had these kinds of rules for his restaurant is racist as shit.

Yeah the apology references him using the n-word, but I still have a lot of questions about the dress code and how and when it was enforced.

 

[L Thammy]

Nah, anyone who had these kinds of rules for his restaurant is racist as shit.

...Wait, doesn't Hogan wear half this stuff too? Like I get what it's trying to do, but could it be so racist that Hogan bans himself from his own restaurant?

And isn't a bunch of the banned stuff appropriate beach attire, which it claims is required? :S

 

[Nerdkiller]

I believe him.

Spoiler

No I do not.

 

[HStallion]

Nah, him and Mel Gibson can stay in the garbage

Just wait till Mel directs Black Panther 2

 

[Slayven]

Just wait till Mel directs Black Panther 2

Thankfully Marvel and Disney isn't that stupid

 

[kinggroin]

The milkshake is curdling

 

[Einchy]

Yikes, another milkshake duck.

Milkshake Slowpoke.

Worked yourself into a shoot, brother.

Sounds like you need to educate yourself on the Gawker case, might I recommend the Netflix documentary, Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press.

Hogan deserves no credit for destroying Gawker. Fuck Hulk Hogan.

 

[legacyzero]

Reminds me of when Dog the Bounty Hunter went on his tirade. Strange how he got to keep a show afterwards.

Aw man, I misunderstood the whole thing. My apologies.

Now to google wtf a shoot/mark means

Perhaps this'll be of help.
