He needs to directly apologize for what he said. Not dance around it. Not make excuses.
Oh man, where to begin with this one? Well I guess I'll begin by begging for my helping of humble pie, oh great one, and beg for you to elucidate upon myself and the rest of the commenters in this thread what it is Hulk Hogan has to do. Is it that he's not doing enough WWE PR stuff that is upsetting you so?
I'm a proponent of actions speaking louder than words, and if an organization like the Boys And Girls Club and March Of Dimes are willing to work with the man, I would say that is a suitable start.
But again, what the fuck do I know, I'm just some silly Latin dude...I should stay in my lane, shouldn't I?
WWE star breaks silence on claims he ‘stormed out over Hulk Hogan racist rant'
So how much of the same air did you breathe along with Titus O'Neil and the rest of the WWE locker room that night Hogan showed up at Extreme Rules? I know that they've yet to air any of this footage of Hogan's apology, but you sure as shit sound like you were there to witness EVERYTHING first hand. With that said though, Titus O'Neil is entitled to his opinion and rightly so, but as we already know, the internet has inaccurately reported certain details of what happened that night. For instance, Titus O'Neil storming out of the event. Despite my defense of Hogan on certain aspects of the fallout from this scandal, that doesn't mean I wouldn't see it from Titus O'Neil's perspective either, had he stormed out of the event like the internet purported. But the mere fact that he's refuting it only furthers my statement that smarks like you are some of the most cancerous wretches to ever be included in the pro wrestling fanbase.
In addition, Titus had this to say about Hogan's actual reinstatement and appearance at Crown Jewel:
WWE star Titus O'Neil says there is no ill will towards returning Hulk Hogan
Titus O'Neil From SkySports Interview - November 7 said:
"It's not my decision who goes where, I support whatever decision the company goes with," O'Neil said in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports. "But at the same time we are all independent thinkers; I have no ill will towards Hulk Hogan whatsoever.
He's a part of the WWE family and as a part of the WWE family we embrace him and we'll make whatever we have to work, work.
"At the end of the day we're all entertainers, we're not politicians, we're not advocates for one thing or another unless we choose to be and there's not been one entertainer in the history of WWE who has been at a higher level of WWE than Hulk Hogan."
.
In addition to this statement, Titus in a video clip said he would welcome a conversation with Hulk Hogan, as seen below:

Titus O'Neil is a well-spoken gentleman, and I would say he nailed this sentiment on the head, rather well. Much better than your pathetic ass did. Again, he was there to actually witness Hogan's post-reinstatement address to the locker room. You and I weren't. Period.
I also feel The New Day addressed things in a very profound, representing themselves a unit but still remaining individuals.
But hey you black people, SirJoseOle got over it so you should too. Good to know that only your opinion on racism matters.
No, it sounds like it's only YOUR opinion on racism matters, considering that you're only quoting Titus O'Neil's ORIGINAL statements regarding Hogan's reinstatement, as opposed to the link I just shared where Titus mentioned he has no ill will towards Hogan and would become a conversation. With a few months removed between events, Titus has followed up and shared further thoughts. Rather convenient you left that part out in trying to prove your point.
Much like I told to relentless, you don't get it. You think you do. You don't.
You don't know me in the first place, I mean I am not sure of your own background, but if you're African or of African descent living elsewhere in the world, here's a newsflash, you're not the only group that has been discriminated against or profiled. No one's disputing the horrific nature of slavery and institutional racism, but in today's day and age, let's not act like other groups don't get discriminated against.
Anyone with the name Jose can definitely tell you that...here's my advice go and live near the Mexican frontier sometime, and then we can talk a bit further. But hey I get it, when you latch on to the victimhood card like a newborn to his mother's teat, there's just NO WAY you can be wrong, right?!
Yeah cause racism is just a minor stupid thing. It's not a major problem in the slightest
I don't recall anyone in this thread dismissing racism, but I think we have to keep some things into perspective here. Not everyone who drops racial epithets can or should be confilated with assholes wearing pointy hoods or swastikas. I mean don't get me wrong, it's definitely ignorant to say what Hogan said in reference to his daughter's then boyfriend, regardless of the reason Hogan said it, the fact is marginalizing African-Americans or any person to just their physical attributes or financial status is a dismissive and hurtful thing.
But again, unless Hogan himself ever has any institutional power to restore America to its state prior to the 13th and 14th Amendments, then I think we have to keep some of this shit into perspective.
It doesn't make what Hulk Hogan/Terry Bollea right for what he said, but people talk shit, I've heard nastiness from plenty of non-whites about being a spic, border jumper, wetback. You name it.
But what's your whole take, is it the whole narrative that those non-whites or specifically those of African descent CAN'T be racist?
Either way, before you tell me what I think of racism, I think you BETTER back the fuck off, because I've had my share of life experiences with people who really didn't care for my "kind" either.
I assume the Rosa Parks thing was about my post. Which you obviously didn't read. Or don't understand.
It's you with the comprehension problem, not myself or any or some of us here. We're just getting a kick about this ridiculous hill you're dying on. I mean, like I already said man, you're giving Hogan this platform as if he was Senator Robert Byrd for Christ's Sakes. If you want to really talk about someone with some warped views that held true power, it would be that guy...
If you are about the horror of racism so much, and you don't know who that guy is, then you really do need to just shut up.
You're giving Hogan WAYYYYY too much credit over the shitty things he said. More than one true thing can exist regarding this that is:
- Nothing changes the fact it was a shitty and wrong thing for Terry Bollea to say. But let's all just cry oppression anytime someone says something culturally insensitive...
- You're plain ridiculous...
And I've had enough of people sweeping racism under the rug.
I don't see anyone sweeping anything about racism under the rug. We're just reading you bitch like a little punk ass over how stupid some people are being on the topic. But I am going to devote more to this in your quote below that I'm about to cite.
If you want to talk about stuff other legends did then make a damn post about them. Want to talk about Austin? Make a post. Warrior? Make a post. But sure, since other people have done bad things then that means Hogan should be 100% forgiven.
Hahaha, ok there "Moderator", I'll get right on starting that new thread, just because you asked so nicely. Anyway, we can tell that you care so little for dissent, that's for sure. The reason I alluded to other WWE Legends is simple, and more than appropriate to discuss in this thread, bottom line if homophobes, wife beaters and other racists can be a part of WWE lore, then Hogan should have that same chance.
Whether or not you forgive him doesn't fucking matter, nor should it to be honest, you self-entitled prick.
Not everyone has to forgive Hogan, but I dare argue that if WWE truly is as intellectually honest and "fair" on being sensitive to the moral quality of its performers, then individuals like The Ultimate Warrior and Steve Austin should also be expunged from the annals of history. If we're going by such logic.
But anyway, this has been more than amusing, and I can't wait to see whatever train wreck you'll try to pass off as a competent reply.
